"The developers behind the Saints Row franchise invite you to participate in a quiz show hour with Natalie Lander, the voice of Kinzie," reads a description of the event, which will take place from 10am-11am PDT (1pm-2pm EDT / 6pm-7pm UK).

"At the end of the panel, we'll show you exclusive gameplay, art, and details for an upcoming project from Volition."

Panelists will include Volition creative director Steve Jaros, Volition producer Jim Boone, voice actress Natalie Lander, and Aubrey Norris, brand director at Deep Silver, the games publishing label of Volition parent company Koch Media.

It was revealed in July that Volition intends to grow its headcount to around 300 staff by hiring 100 new employees.

Saints Row V?

Please

 

[V_Ben]

STRAP IT ON

 

[Card Boy]

They should make Saints Row 6, be arrogant as fuck and skip a whole numbered installment.

 

[Beeblebrox]

YES! Whatever it is, after enjoying SR3 and 4 so much, I'm in!

They should make Saints Row 6, be arrogant as fuck and skip a whole numbered installment.

That'd be appropriate, although it'd still be better idea if Hotline Miami did it (Hotline Miami 3: Wrong Number)

 

[Zoggy]

They should make Saints Row 6, be arrogant as fuck and skip a whole numbered installment.

this would not surprise me

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I hope they reboot the SR seies. It's kinda got too ridiculous for its own good.

 

[JaseC]

Saints Row V?

Please

Seems like a safe bet considering Natalie Lander voiced Kinzie Kensington in SR3 and 4.

They should make Saints Row 6, be arrogant as fuck and skip a whole numbered installment.

On a tangentially related note, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number should have been titled Hotline Miami 3: Wrong Number.

 

[FloweryMarston]

cool! Do you guys think it will be a new SR though? If so, will they go to another crazy direction with the series? New City hopefully too. Is there any other volition IP that you guys would want them to make?

 

[Kerned]

They should make Saints Row 6, be arrogant as fuck and skip a whole numbered installment.

That would be so perfect.

 

[Marcel]

I hope they reboot the SR seies. It's kinda got too ridiculous for its own good.

Oh yeah they should start over and really go back to the 'roots' of the original Saints Row: generic-ass GTA knockoff. Good idea.

 

[Shiggy]

Let's hope they didn't revive Saints Row for Kinect (was that even made by Volition?)

 

[kadotsu]

Oh yeah they should start over and really go back to 'roots' of the original Saints Row: generic-ass GTA knockoff. Good idea.

I think reboots are way overdue for being satirized.

 

[JaseC]

Something new would be nice. Volition has been a Red Faction and Saints Row factory for almost a decade now.

 

[Dinda]

Saints Row One.

 

[KainXVIII]

Hope its not SR or RF series..

 

[Aaron]

Saints Row MOBA.

 

[Marcel]

I think reboots are way overdue for being satirized.

If they made a satire of reboots that'd be all well and good but the person I was responding to suggested a straight and serious reboot (I think). The original Saints Row is a terrible game and it's still kind of shocking it got a sequel at all.

 

[DedValve]

They should make Saints Row 6, be arrogant as fuck and skip a whole numbered installment.

I wanted something like this for the longest time. Would be so amazing.

The intro should also start out with events that never happened after Saints Row IV and maybe even a joke "have a save file from SRV to get an exclusive weapon!" message.

 

[Y0j1mb0]

So a new Descent reveal?

Spoiler

That would be kick ass. Too bad it aint happening.

 

[Jarrod38]

Saints Row with GeoMod

 

[Corpsepyre]

I'll be good if they never made another SR again. SR IV was a showstopper in every regard and a great send-off for the series as far as I'm concerned.

 

[FloweryMarston]

Wait, volition did the punisher for the ps2??? holy shit

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Oh yeah they should start over and really go back to the 'roots' of the original Saints Row: generic-ass GTA knockoff. Good idea.

SR2 is by far the best in the series. They ruined the series when they went crazy for the sake of crazy in SR3.

 

[Corpsepyre]

SR2 is by far the best in the series. They ruined the series when they went crazy for the sake of crazy in SR3.

I'd completely disagree with that. SR 3 AND 4 are brilliant games, especially 4, which was not crazy just for the sake off. They're set apart because they were NOT trying to emulate GTA anymore.

 

[BrumGB]

+1 to Saints Row going "back to its roots"

Played SR2 countless times on both PC and 360.. Would also be ace if they brought back the modes from SR1 multiplayer (protect tha pimp).

 

[TheAbsolution]

SR2 is by far the best in the series. They ruined the series when they went crazy for the sake of crazy in SR3.

This. It also has the best writing in the entire series.
And the best characters.
And the best story.
And the best cheats.
SR2 was the best Saints Row, TBH.
The others might have had better graphics and controls though.
SR2>SR3>>>SR4>>>>>>>>>>>>>SR1

 

[DryvBy]

Saints Row Next-Gen Remasters

 

[Percy]

After what a piece of shit SR4 was I'd really rather a new Red Faction... but of course that won't happen, so new IP would do.

 

[Shaneus]

Let me guess... it's more Saints Row 3 DLC that's been broken off into a "full game".

With the success of Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, I'm guessing (more hoping) that it's a new Red Faction game. Hopefully it's Red Faction: Guerrilla 2. Because fuck Armageddon.

So a new Descent reveal?

Spoiler

That would be kick ass. Too bad it aint happening.

Descent with Rift support. Fuuuuck.

 

[Rosur]

Expecting Saints Row reboot/ 5 but hoping for a new ip.

 

[Card Boy]

I love SR4 but those side missions where mega bad. They basically made you play the activities over and over again.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I hope they reboot the SR seies. It's kinda got too ridiculous for its own good.

Please ignore this guy who wants to be the guy. The OTT nature is what makes SR3 & 4 some of my most enjoyable games of last gen.

Wouldn't mind them not having the superpowers this time mind. (or maybe as post-game DLC?)

 

[Beeblebrox]

Great idea!

 

[YesManKablaam]

Saints in Space, the Saints Row/Red Faction crossover we all secretly want.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Considering the abundance of fantasy RPG's nowadays...

SAINTS ROW V: MEDIEVAL MAYHEM Starring Jane Austen! <---- Should be the actual title

The teaser should be like a Game Of Thrones parody

 

[Card Boy]

They need to bring back Burt fucken Reynolds.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Also if they're going to do a SRV, they absolutely need to improve the gun sounds. They sound absolutely weak and lackluster.

 

[gabbre]

It's not Red Faction, Nordic Games bought the IP

 

[JaseC]

It's not Red Faction, Nordic Games bought the IP

That by itself doesn't preclude a Red Faction title, though, as Nordic has no development studios of its own.

 

[Risgroo]

Gangstas in Freespace

 

[Marcel]

This. It also has the best writing in the entire series.
And the best characters.
And the best story.
And the best cheats.
SR2 was the best Saints Row, TBH.
The others might have had better graphics and controls though.
SR2>SR3>>>SR4>>>>>>>>>>>>>SR1

It also has the worst co-op (hope you enjoy disconnects!), frame rate drops that would make Durante cry, hard crashes all over the place and has aged horribly pretty much. If you like bad GTA with Family Guy-tier humor then I guess SR2 is the best one.

 

[Kresnik258]

Summoner 3.

It won't be Summoner 3.

But I want it to be Summoner 3.

 

[Xater]

Freespace 3 or a spiritual sequel to it. This is going to be it, right guys? GUYS?

 

[disastermouse]

I think you meant firing 100 employees, right?

Wait...a dev is actually hiring?

Yes. I wasn't talking technically, just in general.
I never noticed any problems with it myself.
Look, all I'm saying is that their next game should be somewhere in between SR2 and 3, story, writing, and character wise.

 

[alexandros]

Freespace 3 or a spiritual sequel to it. This is going to be it, right guys? GUYS?

FUNKING THIS! Take the hint from Star Citizen and Elite, Volition, give us another Freespace!

 

[wrowa]

I think you meant firing 100 employees, right?

Sure thing! Deep Silver is actually tying to expand after all.

 

[Hip Hop]

Hope they put time in the city/map if it is Saints Row because every single iteration of it has been atrocious. One of the worst designs in open world games. Ruins the games for me.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

On a tangentially related note, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number should have been titled Hotline Miami 3: Wrong Number.

They should make Saints Row 6, be arrogant as fuck and skip a whole numbered installment.

Damn straight!
