AWWWWW SHEEET

360/PS3/PC AS IS TRADITION

Quote:

According to the official Facebook page for the title, the head of the Saints has been elected President of the United States, leading the charge against an alien force in a struggle to save humanity. Players will "wield gargantuan superpowers" and have an "arsenal of alien weaponry and technology" at their disposal, as well as superpower abilities to leap buildings, outrun enemies and use telekinesis.

The page also refers to the developer as "Deep Silver Volition."

Deep Silver and Volition will be discussing Saints Row 4 in a presentation next week at PAX East in Boston, Mass..
Quote:

In the next open-world installment of Saints Row, Deep Silver Volition continues the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level – the leaders of the free world. In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. Wield gargantuan superpowers and fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak's mental grasp. Escape the simulation that's trapped the Saints crew, or die trying.

Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. Utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet.

Save the world, Saints Style.

Wait US president? Didn't your character declare Steelport it's own country are something like that at the end of 3? Or did they op to use the joke ending as canon?

Savio 03-15-2013 04:21 PM

I think it depends on which ending you took.

LoDownM 03-15-2013 05:45 PM

The storyline of 4 and the ending where you kill Killbane doesn't make any sense. That's the point I was trying to make.

The Destroyer 03-15-2013 05:55 PM

Just have to wonder if this is too zany. Time will tell.

Emperor Smeat 03-15-2013 06:01 PM

Somewhat surprised they actually went forward with making a whole game being inspired by one of the DLC packs from Saints Row 3.

whiteyford 03-15-2013 06:05 PM

Considering the entirety of SR3 could have been a DLC pack for SR2...Not shocking. They will probably trim more out for bonus packs and shit, too.

Emperor Smeat 03-20-2013 06:13 PM

Deep Silver is currently holding a public vote this week regarding what gets included for the Collector's Edition for the game.

There are about 19 items on the list ranging from in-game content to an actual game case described as a""ridiculously amazing glass display case with lights."

http://www.destructoid.com/vote-on-w...n-249089.phtml
The survey -> http://kwiksurveys.com/app/rendersur...081&refer=t.co

Emperor Smeat 03-22-2013 06:45 PM

Some details from PAX East:

* According to Volition they were actually working on two new Saints Row games before THQ went under although they deny that Saints Row IV is heavily influenced from the "Enter the Dominatrix" DLC pack for Saints Row 3.
http://www.destructoid.com/very-litt...v-249235.phtml

* Weapons can be customizable to go along with the upgrade system for weapons. Activities have been tweaked to now award medals based on performance and not based on levels like previous games. The new city/world is about the same size as Steelport.
http://www.destructoid.com/pax-becom...v-249355.phtml

* In terms of DLC plans, Volition hinted they are planning on doing something similar done with Saints Row 3 where it will be several packs and be a mixture of content, clothing, and weapon packs.
http://www.destructoid.com/saints-ro...--249353.phtml

whiteyford 03-22-2013 06:50 PM

Kinda torn on this, I know I'll buy it, just not sure if I'll preorder it and get the season pass if that's available, because as much as I'll bitch I'll end up getting the content dlc, or wait and get the complete edition down the line. As much as I bitched about 3s dlc I think the problem there was that I'd levelled up as I'd completed the game so there wasn't much of a challenge at that point, for all its flaws I did enjoy it, just think it was akin to Fable 3 where you knew it could've been better.

whiteyford 03-22-2013 06:51 PM

Looking forward to bitching about it with Kane Knight though.

"Enter the Dominatrix"

Emperor Smeat 04-24-2013 06:23 PM

The "Commander in Chief Edition" pre-order bonus was recently announced for the game:

Quote:

The included content features some patriotic items, including a “Screaming Eagle Jet” which will “fire rockets out of its talons and can invoke the Sonic Scream stack, leaving your enemies dazed and confused.” The upgraded edition also comes with an Uncle Sam Outfit along with the crazy and over the top ‘Merica weapon, which features “flamethrowers, ultra-powered dub step guns and rocket Launchers.”

whiteyford 04-27-2013 06:55 AM

Can see me throwing a strop with the dlc if it's anything like the last game, that might make me hold off buying it straight away if that's the case, although probably not because I'm an easily swayed Muppet.

I'm still looking forward to GTA V more. This looks like the Saints Row equivilent to Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. Yeah, it has a handful of new things in it but it seems a little too close to SR3 but with super powers. Understandable as it started as SR3 DLC. Now that it's a stand alone game, I'd have prefered an entirely new setting.
Unless it's sold at a low price and not the usual £40 - £50 new games go for.

Big Vic 05-10-2013 03:07 PM

But...New superpowers!

...That admittedly are basically the same as the ones in one of the DLC. Well, several of 'em, anyway.

...NEW!

Deep Silver revealed a special collector's edition for the game called "The Super Dangerous Wub Wub Edition" and costs about $100.

Quote:

This edition of the game will set you back $99.99 and includes all of the bonuses from the Commander and Chief Edition (Alternate box art, ‘Merica Weapon, Uncle Sam Suit, and Screaming Eagle Jet), as well as a 12″ Dubstep Gun replica, Dubstep Doomsday Button, and Johnny Gat Memorial Statue.

Deep Silver recently announced Gamestop and EB Games will be getting exclusive super hero costumes as part of their pre-order bonus.

http://d1vr6n66ssr06c.cloudfront.net...mes_header.jpg
Quote:

Both costumes—the Iron Rogue and Queen Amazonia—play into Saints Row IV‘s superhero motif, adding the obligatory ridiculous attire all superheroes are supposed to don. And, really, nothing screams “President of the United States” quite like a garishly purple knockoff of Wonder Woman’s outfit.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...hero-costumes/


The trophy and achievement list for the game was recently leaked online. The majority deal with story-based related stuff and "Kill X" amount type rewards.

Drakul 07-25-2013 01:38 PM

I had this preordered for awhile but cancelled it a few days ago. With GTA coming out the very next month, it seemed like a waste. Maybe when I'm through with GTA and need another "fix" of that kind of thing.

It's wrong I was tempted by that right?

Emperor Smeat 08-05-2013 06:28 PM

For those in Australia and want the game, the Australian version will be missing the ability to play co-op with international people and a single optional mission that revolves around alien narcotics.

Deep Silver states the reason for both is due to how different the Australian ratings board is compared to other boards.

When I finished Saints Row IV in 2013, I left the experience feeling incredibly sad. This time, however, it was for very different reasons. I was genuinely depressed to see the credits roll, because Saints Row IV, in contrast to its predecessor, had given me so much to fall in love with, reaching its conclusion could only ever end in disappointment.

It is with a bittersweet heart, then, that I declare Saints Row IV perhaps one of the best open world sandbox games you could ever hope to play, and practically a culmination of everything the genre's worked toward this generation.

Is that an exaggerated, hyperbolic, perhaps even pompous statement? Maybe so ... but does a series like Saints Row deserve anything less?

I was laughing out loud with actual noises emanating from my mouth within the first ten minutes of Saints Row IV, and the laughter rarely eased up for the rest of the adventure. Comedy in videogames is a tough nut to crack, but the loving parody, hyper-violent slapstick, and sheer audacity of Volition's latest makes it look effortless. Not only that, it tells an engrossing and surprisingly coherent story on top of all the silliness.

I'm buying the collectors edition of GTA V. I'm not spending £40 on SR4 only to spend £100 a month later on GTA V.

whiteyford 08-14-2013 04:26 PM

Saints Row was going for £30-35 on amazon last month, feel like GTA will be the bigger game in terms of scope but I dunno, just hasn't been screaming day one purchase for me, I'll get it though.

Drakul 08-14-2013 04:31 PM

It's sounding amazing to me. From the screens, videos and info I've heard/seen, it's reaching a point that I didn't think they could or would do the stuff they seem to be doing.
Not to mention multiplayer is called GTA Online and is supposedly going to be huge and looks like it might actually be a GTA MMO.

As awesome as SR3 was and as equally as awesome as SR4 looks, I don't think it can compete. One looks like a Big Mac, the other looks like steak with triple chocolate gatau for dessert.

whiteyford 08-14-2013 04:43 PM

SR3 for me was like Fable 3, it was spoiled by how much better it could of been than it actually was, but like an abused spouse I can't help coming back for more.

I think Saints Row will get arsed in a few weeks though, as fun as they all were once you got into the storyline you whored through it, GTA should be the meatier one but I do like my McDonalds.

VSG 08-14-2013 05:13 PM

Summed up SR3 to me. Game felt short, lackluster, and pretty high on itself. Same with Fable, but another topic.

whiteyford 08-15-2013 02:35 AM

I enjoyed both but you just knew they could of been so much better after the second games.

The Rogerer 08-15-2013 07:58 AM

I cancelled my pre-order after I read that the console versions are ropey. I have 3 on the PC and my computer can just about run that, so I will probably just play through that again and wait for this to go cheap on console.

VSG 08-19-2013 07:49 PM

As much as this decision may hurt me, I decided not to pre-order SR4 and wait for the Halloween/Winter sale instead. I have way too many games to play as it is.

whiteyford 08-20-2013 02:56 AM

Just put in a reserve at a Redbox for a rental of the game. First night is free for some reason. Going to pick it up whenever the the store is open and play the crap out of it. Might call out from work.

Ermaximus 08-20-2013 11:16 AM

Something about using an anal probe on aliens seems a bit...ironic.

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-21-2013 02:21 AM

Is the game supposed to be all pixelated or is it just my 360?

Fryza 08-21-2013 02:31 AM

Likely is that way for consoles, probably has a harder time loading it.

Looking right now, and not finding much on Google about it. Might just be the game still needs a patch to adjust and balance things out.
