Quote

“Please meet the President of the United States of America.”
Ahh, that’s more like it.

It was a ruse, to make the incredible wackiness that was about to unfold seem all the more silly. You, as the President, have been kidnapped by aliens and trapped in a Matrix-like recreation of the city of Steelport.

It’s silly, naturally, and little more than an excuse for the most insane leap into crazy the series has yet to make. Saints Row 2 was a little madder than the first, The Third was quite a hike after that, this… this is just ridiculous.

Quote

In our interview with Volition Inc’s Jim Boone, he said, rather bluntly, that this would be “the end” of Saints Row as we know it. As you might expect of a saga-ender the stakes have never been higher with an alien force running rampant and a plot-point that makes anything possible.

Quote

As well as being able to run faster, jump higher and punch harder, the player will also have other powers. Blast allows you to freeze enemies which can then be shattered, and telekinesis allows you to manipulate objects in the environment. Players will be encouraged to mix and match the powers also, for example, turning a car into a block of ice then throwing it at oncoming nuisances.

Fret not, guns are still very much a part of Saints Row IV, and we saw two new additions to the arsenal. First up was the inflate-o-ray, which could be seen in last week’s reveal trailer. This simply inflates enemies until they explode, no fuss but plenty of mess. The second new weapon is something I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to stop using…The dubstep gun. Fire it and a familiar wub wub will ring out, forcing the surrounding inhabitants of Steelport to dance whether they’re friend or foe. Cars too will begin bouncing to the music. The gun presumably does damage at some point, but I’ll put my hands up and admit that I didn’t notice due to laughing so much.

Quote

Players will now also be able to customise the look of all but their most exotic weapons. Special paint jobs or designs will be available through shops, the example of which we saw being a guitar case rocket launcher.

"Dubstep Gun"? Better call it the "Bass Cannon".

As far as pure wackiness and carnage goes, I haven't found anything that tops Burnout Revenge's crash mode. Too bad they never followed up on that. Some of the disasters you could cause in that game were glorious.

Hopefully they'll reboot it or something

So as long as we're wishing for shit, what they need to do is pay for the Red Faction rights, and have the next game be a bridge between the two series. Saint's Row: Red Faction. Full-on Mars destruction like RF:Guerilla, only with Saint's Row wackiness.

OR

Partner up with Deep Silver for a Saint's Row/Dead Island crossover. You could be whodoin' voodooin' dead bitches with sword dildos

Wish they'd sidestepped dubstep, but the trailer is three thumbs up other than that.

Think I might get SRIV at a midnight release and take the next day off. I've NEVER done that before ever. That's how hype i am for this shit.

Himu · « **Reply #45 on:** May 09, 2013, 11:04:03 PM »

Only thing I don't like is changing the weapon change menu to pause the action now. Hope it's optional.

cool breeze · « **Reply #46 on:** May 10, 2013, 06:40:53 AM »

Is there a flying power or is it only the super jump and gliding (like prototype)? and the ground pound move is straight out of space marine, and it is awesome there.

GTA

So there on day one.

chronovore · « **Reply #51 on:** May 31, 2013, 03:40:11 AM »

Day One is a given for any Borito, but is anyone else worried this will just be an expansion pack for SR: The Third?

Himu · « **Reply #52 on:** May 31, 2013, 11:51:54 AM »

I trust in Volition.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #53 on:** May 31, 2013, 11:55:17 AM »

Probably be like Dead Island: Riptide, where you can tell it has roots in being an expansion - so, shorter than an average SR game, but still tons of stuff to do.

chronovore · « **Reply #54 on:** May 31, 2013, 12:20:42 PM »

Have they stated if it is in Steelport again?

Steelport is a vr thing now hence the outlandish crazy shit because the narrative allows it. Think the Deckers mission Decker.Die and it's the entire game apparently.

chronovore · « **Reply #57 on:** June 01, 2013, 12:58:32 PM »

I am totally up for being a superhero in an urban landscape, jumping around and running, just as long as there are not 400 agility orbs.

Hmmm...it actually "only" costs $99. I was expecting at least $150 when I saw that. Kinda want....but I guess there's no PC version.
