First Saints Row 4 Dev Diary

Supposedly, the review embargo for this lifts on August 16, four days before release. That's got to be a good sign, right?

I would think so. Surely if this game were as bad as all of the haters think it is, they would hold off until release day in order to get some blind buys.

I just hope half of the missions aren't the side missions being introduced. That is the worst part of 3.

judging by what little footage I've seen, a few activities are used as part of a larger story mission in order to introduce how the simulation works. Of course, that also could've been for the E3 demo only. In any case, IdolNinja seemed to enjoy the story, so I doubt that's a problem this time around.
 
Even though the embargo is early, all the reviewers have already beaten it lol. They sent out the review copies super early. I guess that shows really high confidence.
 
On game trailers they said they'd have a review up on the 14th...
That dev diary was cool, man I really can't wait
 
DUDE!! That video was great. Do all of the videos end with quotes you can put on a wall?

"We're definitely turning the tables on the aliens. For all the misery they've inflected on the human race. Being able to use the anal probe on them seems only just."
"We don't want the player to jump through our hoops, we want to jump through the player's hoops."

I saw a video of the real Dub Step gun, that gun is going to be a icon.

I posted this in the Morgan Freeman thread but I'm still wondering (where is the OT anyway?).


If I pre ordered this on amazon I'm not going to get the TF2 weapon skins am I?

If not I guess I can cancel and get it on steam but it's cheaper for me on amazon so it's a question of $5 or extra weapon skins. I hope the modding scene is able to make skins when things are said and done. Catdog rocket launcher would be nice.



Idolninja (Saints Row modder) said:
Dubstep gun mod for GTAIV

It’s nowhere near as cool as the SRIV one, but still pretty neat:

I can’t wait for the upcoming SDK tools that will allow the Saints Row modding community to finally rival the amazing stuff that GTA modding scene puts out.

I really hope mods for this game blow up like skyrim. Not many open world games support mods, and when they do (in Bethesda case) the games become priceless. Heck I don't mod but I'd even try to do something to customize the game a bit more.

I like the part in the video about that weapon. "He wanted us to remove it, we left it in though" hah.
 
I don't like making threads on gaf. I made one recently for a walkthrough with Rev games.

Here is another walkthrough [u.be/SIsf_7M[/url] < hmm never before seen mission walkthrough, may spoil. I'm watching it anyway, I can't wait, the story stuff seem to have nice production values. Looks great.

Doing OTs seem like busy stuff. Having to update stuff and collecting information. Maybe the SR4 thread should be no nonsense. Straight to the point, cool pictures of the cover art and a collection of walkthroughs dev diaries, and trailers.

Edit: wait what the crap, these guys are posting videos from the game, walkthrough Part1?? NDA? what the crap!

Edit2: Dude this game looks so good. Dat first mission. Volition? /bow I can't wait to see what Volition do on next gen consoles/pc.

Edit3: Removed video, too epic, you guys will see when you get the game. Big spoiler stuff on the beginning of the game. Giant bomb is going to loooooove this game!
 
I think people are calling this Saints Row 3.5 is because this type of game would have been considered an expansion pack years ago. I mean, look at the Liberty City Stories. Its almost the same thing but those were only 10 bucks at launch.

Still, I hope its a good game. Saints Row 2 was one of my favorites this gen but 3 just didn't do it for me.

This is still brought up even after multiple impressions (from people who were critical of the game at first) stating that it's a completely new, full fledged experience. I mean, I get where it's coming from but that seemed to be debunked a long time ago.
 
Haven't watched any of these vids, trying to decide if I wanna go in semi blind or just consume all media available

I've decided to go in blind. All the big moments in SR3 were spoiled for me as I waited quite some time to dive into that game. Wish I could have all that back.

NEXT WEEK!

Go in blind and have your mind blown. If you want to get a taste of what I just saw, mix the first mission of SR3 and the final mission of SR3 where you have to save 2 people (vague example measuring the epicness, not a spoiler. I used final mission of SR3 because of the impact of the music used to heighten the dramatic mood). So darn epic. It's like GOW2, this is only the first mission type of thing.

Show me the part in Liberty City Stories where I got superpowers and fucked up aliens. No really. Must have missed that bit.

Blind it is!
 
Embargo lifts tomorrow at 6am PST/9am EST/2pm BST/3pm GMT.

I have such the perfect screen from the game to mostly describe my experience of the game (finished it last night), but it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I missed the video. Interested to see what mission it was. :P
 
I've got one question for the people who've already played the game:

Will I still miss the taxi insta-travel option? I loved SR3, but I didn't like having to drive every single time I wanted to start an activity.

Zero Saints Thirty

I was in a rush and posting/editing as the video played. I think it's the very first mission when you start the game. The main character isn't revealed yet. They didn't have more than that one mission, I thought they had review copies and was going through the whole game. One other channel had a lot of videos up though.

This is the first one Spoiler Alert guys! I watched this one about 4 times. PC version btw.

The second channel with a part 1-4+ maybe up on their channel. Deep Silver gave him a review copy. Could be breaking NDA or maybe he has permission to show the first hour or so.
Spoiler Alert Dudetts Console version it seem.
 
Looking at the video for the 6th time, Volition struck gold with their use of familiar music at key points for missions. Them feels.
 
I think this may interest you:

Lots of numbers, just to give you an example:

10 different words for crotch exist in the SRIV character customization code.

Hah I like it. I guess it's finally time for me to 100% the SR3 areas. I held back from 100% because I wanted enemies to still walk around. I have a week to do so. I'm sure new and improved mods will keep SR3 around even after SR4, but it's time for me to finish stuff in that game.

Edit: SR3 OT for comparison or a template if someone other than the guy that claimed OT does it.

A lot of stuff is coming and I guess a OT will naturally form if that guy is MIA. There will be a review thread at least. I can't wait to see more without spoiling the epic stuff. Mainly stuff like Giant Bomb first look where they have commentary and stuff.
