[QUOTE=NachoPiggy;50399498]I think you are misinterpreting my post. :v:
I'm aware that THQ published Shadow of Chernobyl and the original Metro 2033, and like the Saint's Row franchise, when THQ went bankrupt Deep Silver published the rest of the games of the series, while retaining the same developers. The point I was making is people earlier were blaming Deep Silver for the game's quality, forgetting that they're just publishers and aren't really directly responsible for the game's design and development.[/QUOTE]
While true in some aspects, some publishers do have a say in the direction a game is developed. A publisher can tell you to change massive parts of your game because they don't think they would appeal to a "modern" audience, and not going by their word basically means you're giving up potential financial support.
However, Deep Silver seems to be the complete opposite of this so far. They let developers do what they want and only really seem to help with marketing and funding. This is a great boon for skilled developers (4A, Volition), but for inexperienced developers that need more direction and support (Eutechnyx, devs who made Ride to Hell), it essentially becomes a nightmare. You have to put out a game at some point, even if it is a complete mess.
Publishers are a good and bad thing in the games industry. It mostly just depends on what publisher you go with.
and to be frank, Deep Silver are a relatively good small-time publisher compared to some other out there, some of the Japanese publishers you'd think IntiCreates and Comcept could've dealt with are just out and out trash nowadays. and it says something when Inafune's attempts to crowdfund Red Ash failed but got the game taken up for publishing by a chinese mobile phone game company.
Meanwhile, Red Ash

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;50396305]2013-present means they have only done SRIV, which can fuck off tbh[/QUOTE]
I-I liked SRIV...
I thought it was a really solid superhero game.
Even then... they really didn't even do it, SRIV was already well into production when THQ bit the bullet.
Didn't SRIV get turned into the DLC that SR3 was going to get?
[QUOTE=Xonax;50402236]Didn't SRIV get turned into the DLC that SR3 was going to get?[/QUOTE]
Other way round I believe.
It started as a DLC but then just became its own game.
And then SRIV got DLC making light that it started as DLC.
SRIV was going to be an expansion pack.

I have hundreds of hours in SR3, having 90% of IV being the same game copy pasted but just with powers was extremely disappointing, it was originally a dlc for 3 which is exactly what it felt like even as a fully released sequel
The only good parts of IV were the places where they actually bothered to make new assets, like the white house and simulation missions

So, would SRIV be good if one hasn't played 3rd game, or should one stick with SR3?

Saints Row 4 is a good game to get during a sale IMO. The story is fun (though if you weren't a fan of how SR3 went by the end you won't like 4), and some of the stuff is really cool. There are quite a few 'DLC missions' in it though, like short, weird missions where nothing really happens.
If you like the wackier side of SR3, or you like super hero games like Infamous or Prototype then you'll probably enjoy SR4. Though I definitely say wait for the summer sales.
I didn't really care for the story which is a shame, and the Steelport map is still just kind of boring imo, but the movement powers were really fun to fuck around with. Prototype still did it better, but unlike Prototype SR4 has coop.
Just who is Vernon supposed to be anyway? it's certainly not the character that shows up on the screen

Sonic tried to save him but Mighty No. 9, the recently announced Mega Man show, and the prom nights were all simply too much for poor Rock.

for the price it's asking for, it ain't bad. had a lot of love put into it and it shows, though personally I thought it got repetitive after a while, and the story's nothing to bark at. but it's worth a try, I think.

I think it really helped that I played IV before 3, because I had a blast with it. The powers eventually got repetitive after several hours, but I at least didn't feel like I was retreading old ground in Steelport like it sounds like a lot of people did.

Yes, the MN9 promos are expecting you to keep track of their lore.

That's just sad and pathetic.

Is it bad that despite being at the very beginning of the game's development from three years ago, this engine evaluation test looks better than the final product? Even despite the stock UE3 explosion effects and the lack of any real stylized factors outside of model work.
I hope some sort of postmortem gets published because I'm just genuine curious what the fuck happened during development.
The "for all platforms" thing is their kickstarter campaign's fault, really, like why would you force yourself onto QA hell by making the game for all sorts of dated and portable consoles.
I backed the all digital tier, got to play the beta, followed the development here and there, didn't quite regret it.
Ever since their collab with Deep Silver, things just... go wrong in all directions.
i know it's beating a dead horse considering my previous post, but still

I wonder if the change to Beck's body color (from gray-ish to white) was because he was blending in too much with the backgrounds.

How did they take almost 2 years to do that.
This is actually fucking my brain up right now.

They delayed the game a [I]shit ton[/I] because of alleged multiplayer problems. Development of the game is a trainwreck.

In that case they should have just scraped multiplayer, I'd much whether have the old visuals + some rushed scoreboard or nothing than the new visuals + multiplayer.
