Dealspwn: "Saints Row IV plans to go big on absolutely everything, and make its predecessors feel tame in comparison. But after the guided demonstration came to an end, we just had to know more about the super-powered sandbox.
Luckily, Saints Row Design Director Scott Phillips was on hand and eager to discuss his forthcoming fun factory. Over the course of fifteen minutes, I learned about the new abilities, presidential pursuits, multiplayer, upgrades, the new virtual city, and what it was like to be stuck in the middle of THQ's bankruptcy. If you're keen to find out more about Saints Row IV, you need look no further."
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.
This sounds OTT excellent. A logical progression for an illogical game.
You're a super powered president? Awesome.
Holy sht , blood murals ? This game has lost its mind ... Going to be epic in either failure or success
