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

Using "POLICE SHOTGUN" on Police… I guess you gotta match the weapon to the crime…?  :P

The car combat looks pretty fun, a bit like Burnout with Takedowns. Tethering could open up a lot of possibilities too.

I think it will benefit from the fact that urban open world games have had only GTA V for something like 10 years now.

On the Xbox 360, when the first saints row came out, everyone was hungry for this type of game, and Volition beat Rockstar to the market for that generation. At the very least, I think people are craving something fresh now.

And 3 watch dogs, Just Cause, hell, even Cyberpunk had that shit... but open world just isn't much of a rarified mechanic anymore.
I just think that very basic shooting mechanics and floaty arcade driving, in what looks like a pretty basic map, isn't going to be very exciting in 2021, for a lot of people.
I think the customization is the make-it-or-break-it element, because even Crackdown had something more to offer than basic driving&shooting.

It wouldn't surprise me if there were more people excited to play the remasters of GTA than this, tbh.

As excited as I am for it, I do agree that it needs some sort of hook besides woke millenials as protagonists, which was something they did well with the previous titles. Part of me hopes they're holding something back but it's missing something over the top that has been a characteristic of previous titles.

Was pointed out elsewhere, but one thing I hope they address is that parts of SR3 and especially SR4 story missions just felt like pseudo activities or intros/tutorials to them. By moving that to property acqusitions, I hope these missions end up being closer to the SR2 side of things, emphasis on stakes and mechanics etc. you wouldn't find in activities or the open world.

It is surprising to see the lack of videos about protag customisation. This has always been something SR smashed other open worlds out of the park with, and I think there's really not enough showing or talking about it from Volition. Seriously.

I'm also very meh on it, but I also haven't really played anything open world like this since Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell except for Just Cause 3. So I'm still looking forward to it (on Steam) just because of Volition's track record.

My problem with the SJW-Woke-Millennial gang thing is not, like Nintex, that it's any of those things but just that it looks like a boring execution of those things. What they've shown so far plays the trope almost entirely straight rather than as the setup for jokes about the gang and 2-3-4 were all jokes about the gang except The Boss, and the joke about The Boss was basically how serious and straight-forward they remained as all these insane things happened. I'm hoping that that stuff is in the game though, before The Third came out we didn't know any of the comedic hooks for Oleg and Kinsey and they were only shown as straight-forward characters. It'd be a real misfire for them to make the major three non-player characters be so lame by trying to make us think they're cool.

I should probably play more (than the hour I have) Agents of Mayhem to see how they handled the characters in that, my initial impressions were that they were trying too hard to make you like every character and think they're cool.

Sole reason I'm interested. I don't care about the woke vs anti-woke debate here, but I have wanted a GTA3 style urban open-world game for a long time.

Saints Row will no longer release on the originally announced date of 25th February 2022, instead it will launch worldwide on 23rd August 2022.
Translation: "We never thought we'd make this date but thanks for the pre-order money suckers"

Quote
Our priority is to create the best Saints Row game yet and, if we released on the original date, it wouldn’t be up to the standards we’ve set ourselves, and that you’re expecting and deserve. The team just need more time to do our vision justice; we’re doing some fine tuning and there won’t be much change in the game outside of overall quality and polish.
Translation: "This game is a hot mess, we'll salvage what we can but you bought GTA Trilogy right?"

Quote
In all honesty, we underestimated the impact COVID would have on our schedule, although everyone adapted very quickly to the working from home arrangement and continued to be incredibly productive.
Translation: "QA was left idle on ZOOM calls the devs forgot about. It was a big fucking mess and there was no direction. People suddenly left because they could work from home for any company they wanted"

Quote
However, due to the size and scope of our new Saints Row, it’s become apparent that to create the best game possible, we need to give our team longer to perfect their craft.
Translation: "We have to cut some stuff, how the hell is this going to run on Xbox One?"

Quote
As mentioned when we announced Saints Row in August, this will be the biggest and best Saints Row game ever and, in order to achieve our goal, we’ve settled upon a generous, yet essential amount of time to realise our ambitions.
Translation: "We have no idea how long this is going to take or what the end result will be like"

Quote
Rest assured, there will not be any changes to the story or the characters or anything that we’ve lovingly imagined over the last few years and already shared with you.
Translation: "What's done is done I guess" 

Quote
Over the past two years, all corners of the entertainment industry have been affected/impacted in one way or another. As gamers ourselves, we know what it feels like to have something delayed which you’ve been looking forward to; it’s frustrating and you feel disappointed. But we also know that when we finally get Saints Row in your hands, it will have been worth the wait. It’s our absolute priority to get this right.
Translation: "Maybe we can salvage this thing with a day one patch or maybe not if you have to wait long enough you'll buy it anyway"

Keep it strange,

Kinda odd that they're only just now supposedly having to deal with the ramifications of COVID compared to three months ago when they announced the February date. I guess I had assumed this game had already been in development for like three years or so.

Open world games in particular needing extra time for polish isn't a wild idea anyway, but they probably weren't too sad about exiting the mortar fire.

:huh

a rim job is a colloquialism for analingus, but naming a car customisation shops that might imply that they will do a job on your rims, as in that is their specialisation.
It is a pun.

Jim Robs suggests nothing about the type of business it might be, and the only implication is that the owner Jim might be a thief.


If you had a fictional garden tools shop and you called it "Cheap Hoes", you would be making a business that plausibly does what the name implies, but also punning on a more common usage of the phrase.

If you then renamed it "Heap Choes" its not the same joke. Its not funnier.

For me it does feel like the timing of it's release is a sweet spot.  With all the fantasy, horror and space games flooding the market currently, this may feel old school fresh again..  My optimism for this has been slowly increasing again.  I just hope they have zany shit like driving the cougar around type missions. 

Tweaked my bitch up and uploaded to share.  I need to snag a screen shot next time.
