4 Things We Want From Saints Row IV

Gary of TheKoalition.com writes: When THQ held their auction two months ago the future of IP's such as Saints Row were in question. We knew another Saints Row game was in the works because Volition had planned it to be a DLC for Saints Row: The Third, changing their minds later on in favor of a full game. But we didn't know when it would arrive and under which publisher.

Now Saints Row IV has been officially revealed, and though they delivered a wonderful trailer inducing IQ dropping amounts of excitement, we're still unsure whether we'll actually get what we want from Saints Row IV. Many fans are split down the middle after seeing the trailer, with some people believing it's not worthy of being a full on edition to the series and others believing it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Me personally? There's only four things I want from Saints Row IV and here they are.

Great picks on this list. I'll be interested to see how Saints Row IV stacks up against GTA V.

#2 More Customization:

Being able to fully customize your clothes and stuff with colors and custom patterns... kinda like in APB.

Bethesda & Xbox To Meet Up With Laid-Off Deep Silver Volition Employees

According to a LinkedIn post, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studio representatives will meet up with Deep Silver Volition employees.

shinoff2183215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

That's pretty cool, but didn't they just lay of 10k as a whole. Reportedly some from the gaming division even.

Confused in pa.

Sonyslave3215d ago

Yes they did , it the circle of life in the tech bizz.

blackblades215d ago

Circle of life of meh games

This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.

phoenixwing214d ago

Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience

Flakegriffin214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.

Zeref214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall

Charlieboy333214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

But of course. Just look at the latest Saint's Row....that is exactly the level of quality and writing that Xbox strives for these days.

Aloymetal214d ago

Nope, like Redfall, Craig infinite

There u go. This is way more acceptable than buying up studios. Buy individual talent until you strengthen your already owned studios. 👏🏽

Volition's Saints Row 4 PC upgrade was meant to be a make-good, but it broke the game instead

Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.

Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.

I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.

jeromeface487d ago

i can't help but laugh at this comment. Gearbox can't even run themselves.
