What would you do with a million dollars? Well, Deep Silver wants you to buy this special edition of Saints Row IV...

A million dollars for a game?! That's insane.

Growing up in a lower class family in 1980s recession-hit Ireland, we used to start bedtime conversations with the words "If I had a million pounds" to help ignore the hunger and pain caused by barely surviving on three meals a week, and having to use coal bags as blankets.

These days money is tossed around like it's nothing.

Different times, I know, but still...

admiralvic3901d ago

It's suppose to be a completely ridiculous edition that no one is really meant to buy. The joke being that it's as over the top / absurd as the game in question, though I doubt they would turn someone down for actually throwing down 1,000,000 for it.

GreenRanger3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

Yeah, I know.
It would be an awesome addition to a collectors' collection, though, being one of a kind and all.

admiralvic3901d ago

@ GreenRanger

Not really. Outside of getting the full size dubstep, it's a bunch of things you can buy / arrange if you had the type of money to blow on this CE in the first place.

Grid 2 is the stupidly over the top CE to buy. The items are at least unique to the game in question.

Pintheshadows3901d ago

In fairness the GEID2 CE does come with a BAC Mono which costs £102,000 pounds by itself.

dogsmokespipe3901d ago

Coal bags as blankets, huh? Those sound like hard times. You should write a book, GreenRanger.

dark-hollow3901d ago

It's all about perspective.

If you bought a special edition game for $70, it probably won't burn a hole in your finances. Same with the ultra rich people, one million is pocket change for them.

Pushagree3901d ago

I swear, it's like this game series just wants to be hated. I woudn't pay 10 dollars for this crap, let alone one million. This game is just a constant leech off of GTA and is the perfect epitome of how unoriginal games have become. If Carlos Mencia suddenly morphed into a video game series, this would be it.

KabalsHookblades3901d ago

There's GTA and then there's Saints Row, but it was a clone that became its own thing after Saints Row : The Third and SR4 capitalizes on that popularity

SilentNegotiator3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago )

Yeah, a clone of the GOOD grand thefts (at least 1 and 2 were; the Third wasn't really a GTA clone at all).

SilentNegotiator3901d ago

When I was a little girl in France, we ate snails to survive. Eventually, it just became a staple.

Calm down. It's like how Kickstarter pages often offer a crazy, expensive package for one person. It's not like this edition is made for starving children (just like everything else). It's meant for one very devout (or at least rich) fan to help really push the product/group.

JackStraw3901d ago

calm down. no need to type a whole paragraph.

Heisenburger3901d ago

Cool story bro.

Preach your crap elsewhere.

I wasn't preaching anything to anyone.

Wonder what the value of it is. I know the space experience is 200k by itself. It's probably mostly just bragging rights (like you need to by this to tell everyone you're super rich)

younglj013901d ago

Personally I would love too be able too visit space at least once.But dont have the money too make my dream come true yet.

Skate-AK3901d ago

It comes with a Lamborghini too. That's another 150-200k.

younglj013901d ago

wow N4G ya'll slipping I saw this article on Yahoo this morning.If I had an extra $1 million dollar to blow I might and I mean might buy this but I'm happy with just $60 dollars atm.

Think about the cost of an GTA V edition at this level.It could auction off for at least $3 million.

Congrats too whomever gets this....

porkChop3901d ago

This is ridiculous. A Toyota Prius? Wtf? In a $1m package you're going to throw in a p.o.s. like that?

And encouraging people to get plastic surgery? That's just fucked up on all levels.

Volition and Deep Silver, you're trying WAY too hard to be over the top. This is just stupid and pathetic all around. If I'm spending $1m I want some real value out of it, I could take those trips to Dubai and Washington myself. Give me something that I actually can't just get myself for a hell of a lot cheaper.

titletownrelo3901d ago

No one is supposed to by it. Its just a PR stunt and a crazy joke meant to represent how over the top their game is, lol

porkChop3901d ago

I seriously hope it's just a PR stunt lol

Brucis3901d ago

Guys, this is just a publicity/joke thing. They obviously don't expect people to pay 1 million dollars for a game edition.

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.

shinoff2183213d ago (Edited 213d 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.

Sonyslave3213d ago

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

blackblades213d ago

Circle of life of meh games

mkis007213d ago (Edited 213d ago )

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

phoenixwing212d ago

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

Flakegriffin212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

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

Zeref212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

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

Charlieboy333212d ago (Edited 212d 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.

Aloymetal212d ago

Nope, like Redfall, Craig infinite

ravens52212d ago

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.

crazyCoconuts486d ago

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

jeromeface485d ago

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