Saints Row IV

[Klo]

It seems the first trailer for Saints Row IV has emerged.

While it did get slightly repetitive, I enjoyed SR3 quite a lot, and I enjoyed the superhero DLC which this seems to be playing off, so hopefully it's good!

Glad to see this didn't go down with THQ.

I'll pass this time, SR2 was poor and SR3 wasn't much better, which was a shame because I wanted to like them if only to give me my GTA fix. This one looks even more over-the-top and with GTA5 due the month after, I'm not sure it'll sell as well as the previous ones either. That they've managed to release SR2, SR3 and now SR4 in the time between GTA4 and GTA5 says it all for me really.

But what games are on the same level as GTA 4/5 really?

Saints Row was never about being more serious like the GTA's, its meant to be an over the top parody, that is most of the fun!

I can't wait for GTA5, and this looks good as well. Nothing wrong with wanting to play both

Don't get me wrong it's a crazy game, but when you make a new game in the franchise it HAS to be better, they went backwards and left out a lot of the things that was loved in SR2, clothing for example SR fans were promised that SR3 would build upon the customization which was a flat out lie it went backwards and took away many many options and customizations.

I do like the new engine, but it felt like a half assed rushed job just to get $$$ so much left out and forgotten that could have easily made it one of the best games for this gen of consoles.

and that reason alone is why I wont bother with IV, I'm starting to get tired of devs & publishers taking the P out of customers and fans.

But from the looks of it most people enjoyed Saints Row 3 quite a lot, so I don't think they feel they have had the 'p' taken out of them.

For me at least, customisation is not very important at all. I only changed clothing once throughout SR3, and only made a few custom cars before I got bored of it.
