The guys and gals over at Volition Inc. heard rumblings that now might be the time those next-gen fancy pants console would be arriving on the scene, but they preferred to stick with Xbox 360 and PS3.
They remember their PS2 launch title days with Summoner and it was "one of the most stressful things we worked on." All that pressure of time and fighting tech quirks just wasn't worth repeating.
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.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
Why the hell do you guys approve the same article for the 7th time in the last 3 hours,..
Yes we know ,.. their game that launched with ps2 did not sell shit,..(maybe it was just crap) more fools the more likelihood someone might get the thing.
Ok, i guess i understand why they did so. I wonder if this means this is the last SR we'll see.
