Lens of Truth Writes "Welcome back for another exciting Head2Head! This week we take a closer look at High Voltage Software’s Saints Row: IV for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The differences we found this time around have some major graphically differences. We know it’s been a while since we’ve done a Head2Head, but rest assured come this Holiday season all hell will break lose. It’s been a while, but “meats back on the menu boys”.. Enjoy"
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.
Wow PS3 just got spanked, and I thought developers had finally grasped the PS3 hardware. Anyway, this generation needs to be over now.
I picked this up on PC even though I'm not quite Looks/runs great on PC
A turd is always a turd.
That is a poor looking game on the 360, yet they have managed to make it worse on the PS3.
Awful port with a blur filter turned up to 100, rofl.
Welcome back to 2006 everyone.
