Saints Row reboot :|

to the point of not even having fucking garages where you could cram whatever you could fit in there, instead you get shitty outdoor parking spaces that were sometimes vaguely possible to store 2 vehicles there, often it'd glitch out and you'd lose something

How's the loop?

One of the best things about GTAIII and VC were unlocks. The loop was start on an island, then you collect hidden tapes or whatever and then unlock new stuff like free weapons at your hideout. This gives you even more reason to explore. Then you unlock new island and get access to new hidden stuff to unlock even more. It's an addictive formula for me that GTAIV toned down because pigeons don't have a reward every 10 pigeons or so like with hidden tapes. It breaks the formula for me and it's one of many GTAIV's flaws.

I like the simulation tone but it has to be tip top and GTAIV, while a worthwhile experiment, didn't full fulfill the metric. That said RDR1 succeeded where IV didn't.

I think it had much fewer interiors too, like massively walking back the intricacy of san andreas

Tbf that's NYC. There are barely garages here.

I liked the outdoor parking, felt more natural.
The glitch wasn't really a function of it (the game doesn't care if you have a polygonal model of a garage around the spot marked for saving your vehicles) since the glitch of disappearing vehicles was also in the old GTAs as well as in GTAV with enclosed garages.

it was a function of it, since the AI and physics meant that any weird thing that happened nearby could knock your saved cars off the parking spaces, if NPCs decided to start driving crazy or bumped into them or whatnot, especially with the more physics heavy engine

it was also just plain a lot less space, being able to possibly save 2 vehicles if you're lucky as opposed to 4

The dregs of this shitty forum, 14 years on, have finely broken me. Later y'all, you all suck and have shitty taste.

[Trent Dole]

It's less holier than thou and more "God these people share this hobby with me and I fucking hate them, what does this say about me as an individual?"

It means you happen to like a mass market thing and some of the masses suck shit.

We better still be able to go to Freckle Bitches……!

Saints Row wouldn’t be Saints Row without customization, so of course this game will have tons of customization!  We’ve built the biggest customization suite of any Saints Row game; we have the most in-depth character creator ever seen in a Saints game. You can create exactly who you want to play as – whether that’s a stone-cold killer or a fantastic looking freakshow. There are eight customizable voices you can give to the Boss – four male and four female – all sound great, and again more choice than we’ve offered in other Saints Row games.  And also, you’ll be pleased to hear, layered clothing is BACK! Well done to the eagle eyed of you that picked up on that.  In terms of vehicles, we have a HUGE array of customization options to dig in to – and any vehicle you customize will be safely stored in a garage.  There’s a lot to look forward to and much more to come, including some big surprises that we can’t share just yet, as well as some features that are sure to make jaws drop.

ALSO ERA: Allowing male/female genitalia on atypical bodies is dog whistling transphobia as it allows gamergate to LARP as trans.

Saints Row 3/4 had the sex appeal slider which basically functioned in the same way.

They're called FBs now and Rim Jobs became Jim Robs.

I thought this was sarcasm, but nope - it's real.

At this point, why even bother. Just create a new fucking IP and let Saints Row rot in peace.

NOOOOOOO!!!

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

its funny satire guys, you just didnt realise yet, wait until the reveal

[Don Rumata]

I assume FB is still the same, just shortened in the logo.

[Svejk]

I dunno.. nothing in the reveal or anything that points to this as being an M rated game, unless I missed something otherwise.  They maybe shooting for a Teen rating?  Why would they change it otherwise?

[benjipwns]

Why would they change it otherwise?

Evolving standards.

[Don Rumata]

A more mature humor.
Like getting rid of Donut Drake.

Tell me that isn't GTA-style humor!

screenshots above show she used to be scantily clad and is now sexless, completely covered in a chef's outfit

She also looks like she has an undercut.

[Joe Molotov]

Still has a 420 reference tho.

[HardcoreRetro]

Route 69 was probably too edgy.

[MMaRsu]

Probably cant even smoke weed anymore 😡

[porkbun]

It will be in vape form only.

The 90s called...

Only the dankest of Delta 8.

Why, did they hear about the new Matrix movie?

[Don Rumata]

That's cause pot's getting legalized all over, so it's not that edgy anymore.

[Himu]

We need to bring misogyny back to games.

hey, remember Hannibal:

Leaked footage from the game.

[HardcoreRetro]

It pretty much looked like Saints Row 3 from the footage that was shown in that vid. I'll see if I can find a backup.

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintsRow/comments/pr1tir/original_saints_row_leak_by_srdominatrix/

You can watch it there.

[benjipwns]

It looks alright, though the city looks a little barren at times, apparently this is pre-alpha if I read that thread correctly so whatever I guess.

[chronovore]

I feel like I've totally missed out on SR2... The first one was so blah and meh back then, I had zero interest in SR2.  Wasn't even gonna care for SR3 until it was free on PS+ and bork insisted I play it... I did and totally had one of the biggest blasts in my gaming memory...  I had no idea.

If you thought the first one was blah I dont know why you would like the second one

1 was better than GTA IV in a lot of ways

First one was a bunch of guys in Champagne, IL, making what they thought was gangbanger GTA game, without a sense of humor. They studiously avoided several GTA gameplay mechanics, likely suspecting it would awaken something litigious in Rockstar.

When GTA IV finally came out, it abandoned all the R3 side missions that made the PS2 era games so fun for many open-world enthusiasts. Volition seized on this and made SR2 largely based on side missions AND made the game fully playable in Co-Op, which any network engineer can tell you is a remarkable feat. (It unfortunately launched with a shit-ton of bugs.)

Elsewhere in this thread, it was mentioned that Gat Out of Hell also re-used the SR2 or SR3 maps, but I do not recall this being true. Some assets may have been re-used, but the map itself was a hellscape which required a number of vertical traversal gameplay additions.

[Borealis]

New stuff out from Gameinformer coverage, looking better to me.

[HardcoreRetro]

[Sho Nuff]

Looks good to me

[pilonv1]

Agreed, looks good and very familiar. Really excited for this.

[Bebpo]

Setting looks really good.

I need to know if this is AA or AAA so that i can make a better decision.
If this is AAA then damn man you couldn't even beat ubisofts standards. If this is AA then its decent.

[Don Rumata]

Looks much better than Steelport, though not exactly to a level where you can flex with a "just walk around" video, compared to the level where world building's at in 2021 open worlds.
I like the skyline at night though, if the game's fun it should do well.

Personally i would've gone with something a bit more vertically complex, to aid the gameplay.

I still want to see a lot more gameplay, but I also admit that the only reason I'm not already confirmed in for this is the EGS exclusivity period. I can wait a year for Steam.

Idk, looks like GTAV and right now the only sandbox city game that looks like GTAV quality visuals is...GTAV and maybe Watchdogs Legion but that game sucks. I'll gladly take a GTAV nice looking city sandbox in a new location.

[Bebpo]

Actually nevermind. I was watching that video on my phone but on my PC it definitely looks more like Saints Row 3/4/5 engine with a better lit daytime setting than GTAV.

Still looks fine even if it's not pushing anything tech-wise.

[HardcoreRetro]

If you played the Saints Row 3 remaster, it basically looks like that. That one had the enhanced lighting and HDR support as well.

[chronovore]

The remaster was likely their testbed for engine performance. I'm excited to think about going back to the Row.

I'm still waiting for Hitman 3's exclusivity to end. Not sure I can do so with Saints Row if this is as good as 2 or 3.

[pilonv1]

Driving and gunplay. Think I'm fully on board with this now.

[Beezy]

I'm there day one

[HardcoreRetro]

Why do they keep calling stuff like that pre-alpha? This looks like the finished product before the gold mastering. I hope they at least increase the crowd density.

[Don Rumata]

Looks.. fine.
So far they didn't really show anything that stands out, tbh.

[porkbun]

I liked the move where you can get out from the car and rid eon the roof.  Reminded me of Wheelman, which was actually a pretty fun open world game.
