GTA V is a pretty tough act to follow, but it does give THQ a chance to capitalize on its weaknesses.

I'm not a fan of Saint's Row, but I imagine a sequel would motivate Rockstar to do something else (provided a Saint's Row sequel is good, of course).

@XiNatsuDragnel

don't say it like that. you might jinx it to be another EGS exclusive

PhoenixUp2148d ago

RIP Agents of Mayhem and good riddance

micdagoat192148d ago

was it that bad? I never got to play it

LordJamar2148d ago

Please take the series back to its roots and be like saints row 2

Poopmist2148d ago

But 3 was the best in the series

sprinterboy2148d ago (Edited 2148d ago )

In your opinion.
You say that like its fact pmsl.

KyRo2148d ago

3 was the beginning of its down fall. They completely lost the plot after that. Tuned into something that was not saints row at all.

micdagoat192148d ago

I liked One and Two better than any GTA

porkChop2148d ago

3 had the best gameplay, but the story got way out of control. They need to reboot and go back to the roots.

2 was definitely the best man, sure there are some more epic missions in 3 but the story was so tight in 2, 3 had a really crappy story I infact just beat it yesterday once again. saints row 2 was so good that id say it was even better than gta4, imo of course

Profchaos2148d ago (Edited 2148d ago )

I personally liked sr1 more than sr2 I felt like the performance issues and poor frame rates really hampered my enjoyment of the game when the first title looks and plays better than the 2nd it's a problem.
Also the story wasnt as interesting sr1 left you on a big cliffhanger but sr2 seems to have forgotten that and starts telling an irrelevant story.

I actually thought that Sr 3 and 4 were barely Sr games but they were still a huge amount of fun I actually enjoyed 4 the most even if it was a super hero style game

As for the comparison to GTA well the two are worlds apart in tone style and gameplay with GTA IV taking a realistic approach and pushing what was possible graphically at the time but sticking to a serious narrative Sr was still a charicature of San Andreas

King_Noctis2148d ago

A mixture of 2 and 3 would be nice. Just try not to go over the top crazy like in 4.

Enigma_20992148d ago

Saint's Row didn't care how silly it was, and that worked to it's benefit. But just imagine a new Saints' Row... on the Switch. Saints' Row wherever you go.... Shakedown Hawaii can only scratch that itch so much...

ocelot072148d ago

Didn't they just recently release a Saints Row game on the Switch and it was a bit of a disappointment?

micdagoat192148d ago

because it was 3. I would buy 1 and 2 right now

Highly underrated GTA 5 rival is cheaper than a McDonald’s meal on Steam

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.

Here I thought I'd never have to be reminded of that slop again

Concord and the Other Biggest Flops of This Generation

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?

EternalTitan297d ago

These flops have a similarity that you may not be allowed to point out.

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.

BlackTar187297d ago

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 - Where it All Began

Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.

banger88479d ago

Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.

kevco33478d ago

Or an angry purple streak in their hair to demonstrate they're a rebel.

SimpleSlave478d ago

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!

PhillyDonJawn478d ago

They should remaster the first 2.

1nsomniac478d ago

I think the first one was the best in the series by a long, long way!

Demetrius478d ago

🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh

TheColbertinator478d ago

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.

Profchaos478d ago (Edited 478d ago )

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

TheColbertinator478d ago

The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.
