Saints Row IV - From the Crack House to the White House - Games

[QUOTE=Cone;41564471]that gun needs to be in more things. i'm surprised it hasn't made it into a bunch of cyberpunk movies already, it looks like something straight out of Blade Runner[/QUOTE] Probably cause it was a hulking piece of shit that couldn't cycle properly unless you used EXACTLY the correct .357 Magnum rounds. :v: [sp]Though yeah I totally love it too for it's looks.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Megafan;41561663]He's allowed to be critical of how the game looks, though. Personally I think it looks rather good and will be buying it, but even I would say that fundamentally it's the same city as SR3, with some minor additions. Obviously SR2 did this as well for the most part with Stilwater, and the new movement mechanics with superpowers in SR4 may be a game-changer, but I'm not going to base my whole evaluation of 'is this good or not' on IdolNinja's opinion.[/QUOTE] I'll grant you the point about the city because so little is known, but I'm basing my opinion off of everybody who has played the game, IdolNinja included. I haven't seen a single overall negative opinion apart from minor criticisms from people who have played the game for a substantial amount of time. A few of the people who played it are even going so far as to predict a possible GOTY contender. We just talk about Mr. Ninja because he goes to FP sometimes and he's the person who has supplied us with the most in-depth information and the most solidly formed opinions and criticisms.

So what if the gun sucks, it makes it in anyway because it looks cool.

Also it's in SRIV :v: Which I love since it definitely fits The Boss' personality.

He thought it was SR 3.5 too, and now he's giving quite a bit of praise to the game. So if anything, that gives me a positive feeling about this game. Saints Row Mods' other admin Minimaul also seemed just as impressed.

[IMG]http://puu.sh/3JMxD.png[/IMG] Believe me,i'm crying too. But more because of your comments.

Just cuz [img]http://images.wikia.com/saintsrow/images/d/da/Best_Laid_Plans_Johnny_Gat.png[/img]

It may not be identical, strictly speaking, but it may feel that way after going through it for more than 8 hours. If the streets are the same, the buildings the same, every location basically the same, just with vertical structures placed overhead and a different enemy set condensed into one 'gang', that seems very lazy. Of course none of us has been able to really sit down and analyze how similar the SR4 version of Steelport is to the SR3 version aside from what is immediately apparent (to my knowledge Idol hasn't done so), and if nothing else the new activities should still be fun, so I'm not just dismissing the new work they did. All I'm saying is I'm still skeptical of how 'new' it is.

Well, if anything at all, it sounds like a fun game so far. [editline]23rd July 2013[/editline] I think Idol has played like 60-70 hours of the preview build (I could be wrong), but I don't remember if he's commented on Steelport.

Wasn't it already established that simulated Steelport is only a portion of the game? There's all this nightmare realms, real-life missions, etc.

[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;41566148]Wasn't it already established that simulated Steelport is only a portion of the game?

Hell, I'm pretty sure most if not all of the Nightmare Realms will just be a portion of the map specifically tuned to that character. I'm probably wrong on both accounts, but you can't assume things like that.

Specially the segment with the flying ship in this massive looking mainframe.

[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;41566148]Wasn't it already established that simulated Steelport is only a portion of the game?

Simulated Steelport is probably the Sandbox map.

How much does it cost to pre-order SR4? Are there any special editions? I cannot access steam atm

[QUOTE=riki2cool;41566508]How much does it cost to pre-order SR4? Are there any special editions? I cannot access steam atm[/QUOTE] On PC there's just the TF2 bonuses/commander in chief stuff. It's $50, but you can get it for $45 if you own SR3 on Steam. On Xbox and PS3 there's a special edition called The Super Dangerous Wub Wub Edition.

You also get these two outfits everyone already forgot about : [IMG]http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2855109/saints-row-4-pre-order-costumes-body_960.jpg[/IMG]

Holy shit yesyesyesyesyesyesYES! I have a subscription for Power Unlimited (a Dutch gaming magazine) and this month's issue came with a poster that has the most amazing boxart ever in poster form! (It's a thumbnail) I'm geniunely happy,it looks so fucking awesome. Especially with all the details in the background,like the alien ships and the mascot tearing the Washington Monument apart.

At least 15-20 of the preview was just goofing around in free roam and coop. I couldn't get enough and can't wait to play it again on release. For reals. I've talked about my feelings about Steelport in-depth in all of the articles. The bottom line is that it's nowhere near as good as SR2 Stilwater, but better than SRTT's Steelport.

You know, it's starting to bother me how the model that they use for promos looks nothing like ingame Johnny Gat.

That "GAT IS BACK" poster barely even looked like him.

The promo images don't even look like DDK.

None of the promos look anything like their in game models IMO.

The Boss was worst off in Saints Row:The Third, because his promo art looked NOTHING like his default appearance

[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;41568539]The Boss was worst off in Saints Row:The Third, because his promo art looked NOTHING like his default appearance[/QUOTE] Pretty sure they were made before any in-game models were decided. Default boss probably went through many changes.

He eventually just straight up became Sterling Archer.

I like pompadour and fro haircuts and Gat has a mix of them in SR3, it fits well. Of course, he is better as a character in SR2. Hoping he'll be the same in SRIV.

I don't like the look of Gat in 3 and 4. He looks too, "plastic-like". The gat from 1 and 2 looked much better.
