E3 2013: ‘Saints Row 4′ Is The Most Extreme Open-World Game Ever

FleshEatingZipper: "At this point, you already know if you’re on the Saints Row train. Once a mere imitation of Grand Theft Auto‘s street gangsta motif, the series has found a new home in throwing out everything you know in favor of absolutely comical heights and abilities. I got to sit down with the game behind closed doors and now I’m more excited than ever about your new adventure as President of the United States. Yeah."

Puhlease! SR3/4 has to have one of the worst open-world games ever. This game is based off of the SR3 engine and you know how lacking that engine was. All the stores were the same, the environment looked the same, there were only like 10 character models for pedestrians and like 6 for the gangs, the pedestrians didn't talk or do anything exciting, weapons were lacking, and the side missions were severely lacking. The developer already said there wasn't much change in the activities and environment.

What did you expect them to do in their situation? THQ was going over a cliff, and you expected them to redesign the entire engine? You think they got a money tree or something?

They could have just trashed it and the IP would have probably been harder to sell without a complete product to turn around and sell. Then the franchise would have probably died. At least now the franchise has a chance.

But yea lets hold a struggling developer to a higher standard because they didn't try to bankrupt themselves making a brand new engine.

It is just a DLC game and that is all it will be

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.

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