[Ploid 3.0]

Big fan of this studio, I hope it involves a ton of destruction with Geomod for current gen!

 

[Marcel]

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.

That's fine. I just think the self-awareness the recent Saints Row games have going on makes them more appealing than, say, a game where you spray poop from the poop truck and boy is poop funny.

 

[V_Ben]

For real, if they're really making a new Saints Row game, then I hope it's some kind of stupid adventure that takes place after SR4, with all the implications of that.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I am excited. If its saints row I hope it has some physics based gameplay or destruction or is something completely new and unexpected.

 

[Nordicus]

Summoner 3.

It won't be Summoner 3.

But I want it to be Summoner 3.

I want it to be Summoner 3 as well. I've not played 1, which was probably most people's favorite, but 2 was a fun and original action RPG

 

[Sulik2]

There is no chance this is Freespace 3 is there?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Hope its not SR or RF series..

It definitely won't be Red Faction - that belongs to Nordic Games now.

Saints Row MOBA.

Well, Deep Silver have made a Dead Island MOBA, so anything's possible I guess.


Personally, I'm not a fan of the Saints Row series, but I enjoyed Red Faction Guerilla. I hope for something new from them, but it probably won't be.

 

[Maffis]

Next-gen Red Faction plz

edit: ah nvm, they dont own it anymore

 

[aerts1js]

Freespace 3?

 

[Sceptic]

I'm ready for Saints Row 6!

 

[JaseC]

Next-gen Red Faction plz

edit: ah nvm, they dont own it anymore

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

.

 

[Prezhulio]

Hopefully something that showcases a new iteration of their destructibility tech from RFG, but I'm not holding my breath.

Sr3&4 were great so I'm excited to see what they are working on, even if it is sr5!

 

[Ocelott]

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

Agreed... I wish SR2 servers where still up

 

[likedamaster]

Enjoyed every SR, but I'm ready for something else. Bring it on!

 

[Kresnik258]

I want it to be Summoner 3 as well. I've not played 1, which was probably most people's favorite, but 2 was a fun and original action RPG

I'm not a fan of Summoner 1 either. The second game, however, is probably one of my favourite of all time. It's an amazing action-RPG and I really hoped there would be a follow-up in a similar vein.

 

[SparkTR]

Freespace 3 please.

 

[McLovin]

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

lol they could say stuff like i cant believe that thing we did worked! Sure things are sharper, smoother, and 60fps. But at least everything is back to normal.

 

[UnrealEck]

Red Faction remake.
Or a new one that's actually good.

 

[Marcel]

Just start it right at the "end" of Saints Row V and then it goes into the sixth game, constantly referring to obtuse backstory from V that you have no clue about. It'd be grand.

 

[TheAdmiester]

If this is like the first two games then I'm buying it day one. If it's yet another game just like SR3, well... I guess I just won't support SR anymore.

 

[VE3TRO]

Would hope for a Red Faction reboot rather than Saints Row.

 

[War Raichu]

a tongue-in-cheek reboot of Saints Row 1 would be a great way to bring back Stilwater and series favorites while still maintaining the humor they've developed.

I just hope it's next-gen, though. The last thing we need is yet another SR game hindered by current-gen tech.

 

[Marcel]

So you want a worse game that also performs like shit? I guess you'll always have the first two.

 

[sixteen-bit]

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

With Freespace thrown in for good measure.

 

[AgentLampshade]

This is ridiculous as hell and something I can totally see them doing.

And I love it.

 

[TheAdmiester]

So you want a worse game that also performs like shit? I guess you'll always have the first two.

The only shit performance was a) in the rain on consoles and b) on SR2 PC. I managed to look past that because they were fantastic games that were far more entertaining than the shit we call their "sequels".

EDIT: I'm still holding out hope that SR5 has the character wake up from the coma they went into at the end of SR1, having the events of all of the other games just being a dream while also being an excuse for the world being back to normal (and a return to Stilwater please, Steelport was tiny and bland as fuck)

 

[Dick Justice]

So you want a worse game that also performs like shit? I guess you'll always have the first two.

No he wants a good game that isn't constantly going "lol so random", has a compelling story, better customization, a game world that's not bland as fuck, activities that don't masquerade as story missions. Y'know, not Saints Row 3 and 4.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

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

True, but why would Deep Silver farm out their premier development studio to make a game for an IP owned by a different publisher? Particularly when they're obviously keen to (quite sensibly) build up their own stable of IPs.

 

[Castef]

Time for Summoner 3!

 

[Violence Jack]

Saints Row 5. Saints in Time. It's coming, and they're going to pull some Doctor Who/Days of Future Past alternate timeline junk in order to reboot the series. Watch and see.

 

[Marcel]

Saints Row 5. Saints in Time. It's coming.

Not sure if you heard but they're skipping 5 and going directly to 6. Definitely not going back to 1 and 2, thank god.

 

[Metroidvania]

Honestly, I liked SR2's style/flow more. The poop jokes and shit got a bit old, granted, but it was fun to be a sociopath that wasn't being pushed as apologetic like Niko.

Crazy for the sake of crazy can only support itself for so long, and in the transition to Steelport in SR3, Volition definitely felt like it lost a bit of the nuance that made SR2 so amazing for me.

Loss of/dumbing down side activities, loss of customization options, collection options, Story (neutering the boss)...Steelport felt less like a world, it felt artificially designed. Stillwater (in SR2, at least, obv. SR1 was rougher) definitely felt more organic.

SR4 was better, because superpowers make everything better, but the slicked-up presentation often didn't actually run any better.

Kinda this, honestly.

 

[epmode]

Freespace spiritual successor pls. PLS.

Saints Row 823962349664 would be nice too, I guess.

Basically, Saints Row 1 and 2 were fantastic games in a shit game engine, 3 and 4 were god-awful games running in a much better engine. If they remade the first two games in the newer engine I'd be so happy. Either way with the amount of praise the shit ones got, it's not looking likely that the next one (if there is a next one) will be good, which is rather sad.

 

[JaseC]

Sure, Deep Silver's own plans for Volition in all likelihood would certainly prove to be a roadblock. That's why I was sure to say:

[Nordic owning the IP] by itself doesn't preclude a Red Faction title, though, as Nordic has no development studios of its own.

 

[Goteki_45]

Red Faction Remastered

 

[Squire]

I wouldn't be surprised to see them do a spin-off game starring Kinzie.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

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

This is an amazing idea.

I'll be at PAX, we may check this out.

 

[Sinatar]

Deep Silver doesn't own the Freespace IP, so stop asking.

Agreed. SR3+ was Michael Bayed far, far too much. Didn't need it at all.

 

[Concept17]

Awesome news. Easily one of the best devs out there, that I would kill to work for.

If it's more saints row, I hope they bring it back down to earth. The over the top craziness was fun, but the series needs to go back to what it was in 2/early parts of 3.

A new IP would be great. Anything these guys do and I'll be there.

 

[Corto]

Deep Silver doesn't own the Freespace IP, so stop asking.

Didn't remember that one. Just checked. Interplay bought it for only $7500?! Damn!

Spiritual successor! Space sim fans are turbo whales. $$$

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Time for Summoner 3!

The first Summoner has a special place in my heart and I would love to see another Summoner game. I don't think it'll happen though, just a hunch.

 

[Love Deterrence]

Can't wait to find out what it is!!!! Saints Row V would be amazing!

 

[Sojgat]

Johnny Gat: The Game

Whatever it is, it will most likely be awesome. Love Volition.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Spiritual successor! Space sim fans are turbo whales. $$$

What they can do is introduce space combat to Saints Row V as a test and if the mini-game gets the good response then THAT can be spun off into it''s own series

 

[Enduin]

I really want Freespace but I know the chances are slim.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

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.

This.

The first game was garbage and the only reason anyone played it is GTA4 was miles off.

 

[Dysun]

I don't know how they can top Saints Row 4. Taking back powers would be hard to get used to again
