Saints Row 4 is due to launch three weeks before Rockstar's open-world giant hits the shelves on September 17.
But rather than let itself be swallowed up by Grand Theft Auto 5, Volition believes that the series doesn't pose as much of a threat to Saints Row as it once did, thanks to the team's work in differentiating itself from Rockstar's title.
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
Yeah because you're a month before GTA V releases.
But probably most people won't buy this DLC made into 'full' content.
yeaaah that's right lol
I'm not worried either, I'll be getting both
Didn't play SR3 and I won't be playing SR4. I will stick with Rockstar someone who knows how to improve upon games not run out of ideas and simply ruin them.
I am all for over the top ridiculousness. I loved games like the Postal series, Crackdown, Manhunt or there was this old game on PS2 where you just ran around a mall, destroying things and killing people with super over the top weapons.. I forgot the name of it but you get my point. You can be over the top and it still be good.
Saint Rows fails at being some sort of GTA spin off and it fails at being a ridiculous game. So I will pass.
I had more fun playing GTA 3 than any Saint Rows anyway. Even if I did have interest in SR4, I would probably not touch it ever again once GTA 5 comes out.
Stupid people will buy SR4, the clever ones'll wait a little bit, save their money and enjoy a real masterpiece.
