Everything you need to know: No co-op, no multiplayer No character customization/creation Plot not directly related to Saints Row games, only universe with corporation names/logos [editline]2nd April 2017[/editline] That's right, not only is it not actually Saints Row, but it's also got a "team of heroes" thing going on and there's no MP whatsoever, only switching between 3 characters like a lego game or Trine, except again, those had co op Edit: I was extremely hyped for this when I saw the trailer and read about it but then when I watched an interview they talked about this "switch between 3 characters" stuff and I took a look at the steam page and IdolNinja was responding to co-op questions with definite answers of it not having it. A real shame. This game looks made for it, I could've given up character creation since Hollywood already looks and acts like my usual guy, but no co-op is a deal breaker. I really hope they weren't planning for selling this at $30+
everything i hate about saints row and nothing i love about saints row
Sorta hoping their next game would have been Saints Row 5-0 for a variety of reasons. Though this kinda makes me worried it'll do poorly and Volition will get shuttered.
Another thing I think is slightly stupid, the game seems to play like Disney Infinity (not a bad thing! the combat portion of DI 2 and 3 is actually pretty fun) and the trailer even looks like a Big Hero 6 type theme. But they decided to limit their audience anyway with "AHOY MOTHERFUCKERS" As a fan of Saints Row, I don't mind at all, but they probably would've been able to reach a larger market if they left it kid friendly despite the small references to SR such as Ultor and the Fluer De Lys logo.
I'm kinda interested in it because I enjoyed 4's superpower direction and would like to see that expanded upon, but no co-op is a huge dealbreaker for me because that's half the fun.
Literally all they have to do is announce a co-op mode to make this worth thinking about I think it's laughable they even considered not having one, let alone definitely saying they won't. Why even have the Overwatch style hero team thing if there's not gonna be a team?? Their justification for this was something like "we want the player to experience the feeling of controlling an entire organization" which is just a load Edit: I think in a gameplay interview at IGN or something they also talked about forcing the player to mix it up kind of like Trine/LEGO does, but good luck balancing that if you're gonna have like 12+ characters where you have to pick 3 at a time to bring with you
You switch between 3 heroes, right? If it was 2-player co-op, you could have 2 heroes each, meaning you get a net gain in versatility but are forced to then coordinate with each other a bit more closely to take advantage. It's probably far too late in development for that now, though.
My predictions are a massive flop and then announcing a co op mode or sequel/dlc with co op within 6 months
Thanks Volition, I've been a long time fan of your games since the early days of Saints Row 1, over time I even accepted how different and limited Saints Row: The Third felt, but fuck this shit, don't even care.
i know people are disappointed in this but im kinda glad they're making this wacky stuff a separate franchise, it paves the way for them to make the next Saints Row more like the older games. let's hope that's their plan. the wacky stuff is really fun, i think it just has a different audience.
Not super interested. What they should be doing, and maybe they are and they're trying to push this too? Is just, take it back to saint's row 2 and then avoid jumping the shark and going full wacky mode. The next Saint's Row takes place immediately after Saint's Row 2 only in this universe The Saints told Ultor to go fuck themselves and never became corporate sell outs. If you have to justify it handwave that it's because that's what Gat wanted and God granted it. Also Zenyak trips and fucking dies so no alien invasion.
I have practically 0 interest in this without a coop mode. I've been enjoying Saints Row coop since I was like 12 playing an unoptimized Saints Row 2 at 15 FPS on my out-of-date PC with a friend, and we've played every Saints Row since.
I found it amusing how I went from Saints Row 1 to 2 not knowing that wearing gang colours no longer meant anything, didn't take me too long to figure that out but I did wear purple clothing at first.
Saints Row 4 was such a shitshow, it was pretty much SR3 but with cheat codes and felt like it had mods they had some pretty cool ideas but the whole thing was just fuck-awful [editline]2nd April 2017[/editline] SR4 could have been a DLC update pack and it'd make no difference. In fact, it'd have been better that way
[QUOTE]No character customization/creation[/QUOTE] yeah no, I'm gonna play saints row 3 now.
looks fun

From what I've been reading, this game isn't even -previewing- well
[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;52054949]Saints Row IV does recycle a lot of content but it's super fun, much better than Saints Row The Third.[/QUOTE] It is a ton of fun, but sadly the recycling made it get pretty boring pretty fast. For 10 maybe 15$ it'd be worth it but anything more would be awful [editline]3rd April 2017[/editline] I mean flying around like an asshole and shooting people with everything they got is great but it feels like SR3. SR3 is fun but I already played it, you know?
