Saint's Row developer Volition has stated that one of the reasons we will likely never see a Saint's Row game on the Wii is because the addition of motion controls would make it far too controversial.
The wait for GTA 6 is painful, but for less than $6 you can pass the time with the overhated Saints Row reboot on your Steam Deck right now.
This was free on something at some point, so I decided to check it out. It's definitely properly rated.
Some of the biggest success stories in the history of gaming have happened during this generation of gaming. At the same time, some of the biggest flops in the history of gaming have also happened during this generation of gaming. To this end, a few games particularly stick out as, unfortunately, disastrous flops for those who made the games, sold the games, and ultimately, for many that played the games.

What a strange, short list. There have been many more games that arrived DOA, were never released, didn’t make their budget back, etc. Why cherry pick these games? Is this list based on the size of internet hate boners?
Replies(2)Skull and Bones gets my vote, at this point just completely remake AC Black Flag. If the Concord developers had made the game free to play, and toned down the in your face messaging via the mods and design choices, this game could have been serviceable eventually. I never understand why pandering to 5% of your audience and giving the finger to the other 95% seems like a good idea to these people. They never seem to learn. Disney has lost 1/3rd of its value and they keep doubling down on political messaging. I don’t get it.
Some of these companies are paid huge amounts of money to do this stuff. They get truck loads of money to give “the message”
By blackrock and vanguards and multiple other venture capitalists even though it’s been proven over and over they fail.
Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.
Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.
And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.
So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍
Outstanding!
🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh
First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.
But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that
The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.
Does any developer know about the parental lock function?
Just do it.
" At Volition we're really about pushing really good graphics "
Did he really say that XD...i suggest you look at your game again.
would be 'too controversial'
on the Wii
Also Graphics wise it would Be Impossible
What's that rockstar game with the very graphic killing etc. Manhunt? it's been done already volition.
they know this game wont sell on the wii
The best third party hardcore game that sold on the wii was, Guitar Hero 3 (2 million sold). The second would be Raymand Raving Rabbids (1.2 million sold) and finaly Resident Evil: umbrella chronicles (1.05 million sold).
What i find funny thou is that there are more games that sell above 1 million units on the wii, than on the ps3.
