Gi - Last week, the next entry in the Saints Row franchise was announced. Saints Row 4 will release on Aug 20 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. The news came seemingly out of no where because only the tiniest bit of information said that Volition working on the next Saints Row when the Dominatrix DLC for Saints the Third was scrapped. That came last June, but no official announcement was made about the fourth game.
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
all i have to say is 'GTAV'
It does look wild but to much like the other one
Yeah sorry GTA will always be the king of sandboxes.
I hate anything that's on something or is the _____ of ______.
Two reasons why I'll pass on it:
1- SR3's biggest draw was purple dildos while SR2's was the silliness perfectly balanced with serious and good writing; SR4 being released barely a year and a half after, plus the fact that they made a SR3 DLC into SR4 instead, shows it will be more of the same (if you're realistically optimistic).
2- Grand Theft Auto 5. Rockstar is going to wind up pounding Volition into the dirt and past a few layers of crust since most will be opting for spending $60 on GTA over Saints Dildo 2 (I mean, "Saints Row 4"). SR2 showed very serious potential in becoming a major competitor to GTA and SR3 would have had Volition not gone full retard with it.
