Saints Row IV's lead designer Scott Phillips talks to us about 4 player co-op, Johnny Gat and the crazy weapons and customisation in Saints Row IV.
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.
"But like one instance would be the sad death of Michael Heart Duncan meant that we had to recast that role."
So doesn't this mean Benjamin King is back?
I wonder if Dex is coming back too after the DLC in SR2.
Gat coming back? They have to make some big explaination if he does come back after what they did to him and they confirmed he was dead so if he does come back i can only see it as trying to win the fans back after the reactions to the SR IV trailer but i don't think it will help that much.
I do wish they put it in a new setting, Steelport wasn't an interesting city.
