That August date at the end is new no? It's been delayed twice now already.

That August date at the end is new no? It's been delayed twice now already.

No, it was announced for that date the last time it was delayed. Pretty sure it was only delayed once (last month).

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Look at the heads.

 

[Salz01]

This game should be free to play. The characters are still stupid.

 

[lem0n]

Put it on Game Pass and I'll give it a go but that's not the Saints Row I know and love..

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Graphics look better now, but I don't know if I have any appetite for the Saint Row tone anymore.

You're in luck, because it seems to be completely devoid from this boring game.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I dunno, I think it looks pretty fun! Just a daft, knockabout GTA clone like it’s always been.

 

[Mossybrew]

This looks like dumb fun and I'm totally buying it day one.

 

[Skull-Knight]

 

[Concern]

If I could be one of Los Panteros I'd be more inclined to play rather than the snowflake gang we got.

I think it looks really fun. What's the matter? I swear, some of you guys complain about every fucking thing about video game.

Is it the enthusiast gaming forum or the depressive gaming forum.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Art sytle looks horrible and side characters too but everything else looks fun. At least you can customize most stuff.

I think I order the notorious Edition with the season pass. This will be an Open World game that I will dive in for weeks.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

That's one cringe trying to be funny video.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Can't believe people are actually waking up in the morning, going to work, working on this game and getting paid for doing it. What a waste.

 

[Valt7786]

Can't believe people are actually waking up in the morning, going to work, working on this game and getting paid for doing it. What a waste.

Just remember, people are doing that to work on stuff like Diablo Immortal, the next WoW expansion and whatever that "Cycle around taking picture of flowers" thing was at the state of play.

 

[Ravi_elite]

The gameplay from what I've seen is completely trash compared to the first Saints Row..

Can't even quick switch your weapons

They moved the shotgun slot in the weapon wheel

The hud is lame

So many things wrong with this Saints Row that it shouldn't be a Saints Row

The fact they are going to try and tie a multiplayer component to this gameplay is just absolute trash when you compare this to the movement, shooting, and multiplayer of the first Saints Row

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Jack Videogames]

Looks like the kind of game that will be 7€ in two months time

 

[Flutta]

What a disgusting game. Should be banned WW.

 

[M1987]

It looks awful

 

[Dr.Morris79]

You can tell old hands had to make way for this new generation of morons. It looks pretty bad

 

[SJRB]

The longest and most stiff cutscene about a guy entering a building I have ever seen.

How the fuck is this almost 3 minutes long, lol

 

[Mephisto40]

Why are they even investing time and money into this?

 

[ahtlas7]

 

[Roman Empire]

Is Saints still relevant? It feels so cringe to the point of feeling secondhand embarrassment from watching it.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

IGN has your exclusive first look at several of the new Criminal Ventures in the Saints Row reboot, including the adrenaline-enhanced return of longtime favorite Insurance Fraud. Saints Row will be released on August 23 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

 

[R6Rider]

Game is looking like it will be really fun to play. Can't wait!

On another note, why does it sound like the commentary for that video was recorded inside a bathroom?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

It was. They were trying to flush this turd.

 

[Aure]

Terrible, just terrible.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Notorious edition day one.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

The game looks pretty unimpressive visually, it looks decidedly last gen and not like a late last gen game. But it does look like it's shaping up to be pretty fun. Still skeptical though

 

[lem0n]

Thankfully it looks more like Saints Row than I was thinking it would. Cautiously optimistic but will wait for impressions I think.

 

[lovetalkgames]

Crazy they’re just now catching up to GTA V.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Let’s see. Firstly, the Saints are a group of fucking gangsters. They should look and act like such, not like a bunch of priviledged college kids. Secondly, the game looks like it came straight out of the brown bloom of the 7th generation. The Saints Row series has always been highly, absurdly colorful and over the top. Three - It looks like it was written by a bunch of mentally ill folks (slacktivists). There is no charm of the original series.

I hate rap, I hate gangsters, I hate that whole ”culture”, yet Saints Row still was able to grab me and make me have a hell of a lot of fun. This? This looks terrible.

At least they already confirmed story DLC.
Unlike Recyclestar that shit on SP in GTAV.

 

[ShaquilleOatmeal]

That's Saints Row alright.

Volition has to be one of the least innovative studios when it comes to a franchise running on multiple sequels.

Maybe it's a good thing Guillermo Del Toro's INSANE was canceled.

All harsh words, but I'm still buying this fucking monstrosity of a game to get me through August.

 

[Bluecondor]

The criminal ventures look pretty fun, and we haven't had a third person open world crime game for awhile, so I can definitely handle the activities being dated, etc.

Please tell me that we don't have to play as the character from the IGN criminal ventures video the entire game. I understand they are going for more of a Watch Dogs vibe for the new Saints, but I'm hoping we at least get to customize our character the way we want.

 

[March Climber]

I think they just didn't know where to take things once super powers were introduced, which makes sense because it's hard to one-up that concept. The only thing I can think of is the Saints doing high octane missions around the world, like a 007 or Mission Impossible movie, or better yet taking things to space. Both of those wouldn't be the the open world city game fans want it to be though.

Nice! I love customization in third person games, so this will be fun.

Well, you probably can create a regular character and you get to destroy all these privileged college kids. So maybe the game is self aware and that's what it is? Ahah idk, for me these game are about pillaging and moving around doing exaggerated stunts, flying, shooting and explosions.

[Nydius]

I am glad to see Insurance Fraud is back. Possibly one of my favorite Saints Row minigame activities. It's like someone said "What if we took Burnout's crash mode and did the same thing... with a human!". Alas, I'm still less than impressed with what I've seen so far. I don't think it'll flop as bad as Agents of Mayhem but I don't think it's going to do as well as Saints Row 2 or 3. Just seems too... dated and iterative and cartoony while also stripping away the "fuck you, we don't care who we offend" charm of the original franchise.

I'll probably buy it on sale which, honestly, I suspect the game will be half off by Thanksgiving holiday/Black Friday.

 

[tusharngf]

looks fun.. i have this on my wishlist

 

[unclbenn]

looks great. im kinda getting some "just cause" vibes with the mayhem.

It's all of the above. It's a gaming forum. It's even for crybabies like you!
