Saints Row 4 Announced for August


DeathscytheX

Saints Row is back and now with superpowers. Check out the trailer for Saints Row 4.

Official Press release from Deep Silver who took the property from the now defunct THQ

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.

Apparently Saints Row 4 will be the end of The Saints as we know them:

 

http://www.gamereactor.eu/news/82954/Next+Saints+Row+to+%22continue+in+a+different+direction%22/

 

Is this the end of the Saints Row series as it currently stands? The design director revealed that the series may continue, but this particular strand was concluding in the incoming game: "We're definitely considering Saints Row IV sort of the end of that saga of this character and the Saints as they are. So if there's any more future Saints Rows - which you know we always hope there will be, we hope there's fans for future games like that - they will probably continue in a different direction."

 

Saints Row 4 is going to conclude the storyline of the 3rd Street Saints..

As fun as this game will be, the super powers and virutal world is a little bonkers. They definitely couldn't continue this route. Super Powers are going to make vehicles useless along with most your weapons. They'll have to go back to their roots with some new characters.

To a certain extent I'm hoping for a reboot. I'd want them to focus on various other gangs to fight like they did in SR1&2 instead of the combined gangs of SR3 as one enemy gang. Or in the case of SR4 the exciting but bizarre concept of fighting aliens.

 

I'm also annoyed I never got to hunt down & kill Dex, reveal that Eric Gryphon is Richard Hughes, any plausible hatred Tera has for the Saints when they joined Ultor, or the return of EDF Scout.

 

I also feel a bit Baffled about Benjamin King joining The 3rd Street Saints after his (former) friend Julius Little was killed by The Main Character.

I should play Saints Row 1 & 2 at some point so I can fully understand the entire plot. Rebooting Saints Row could be a good idea. I really like combat vehicles, with super powers in the upcoming game, the vehicles will probably be pointless unless they have some batman style vehicles in it.

You're not going to get much understanding of the plot between 2&3 as any connection requires SR2's Downloadable Content when helping Eric Gryphon might be required. Though I guess there's always the radio commercials in SR3 that can easily state this.

 

The only other connections between 2&3 that I remember had to do with Voodoo as mentioned during the Zombie Mission, a Septic Truck that was mentioned during Professor Genki, & the death of Jessica during a STAG speech.

 

As for the connections with 1&2 there is only the one dealing with how SR1 ended, a mechanic, & whoever returned from the previous. Beyond that any thing else I had found is that 3rd Street Speeches play homage to SR1 & how someone dies in a way you would have. (Though I guess that would be 2 different ways.)

 

There's also always the spoilers from Kia about your former homies who have died.

 

But ultimately I'm still left with so many questions about Dex, Dane Vogel, & Eric Gryphon that from what I can tell from SR4 may (or will) go unanswered.

 

Finally Saints Row 1 is only available on Xbox 360 if you can buy a preowned copy. Saints Row 1 also lacks mission checkpoints so if you fail you start back at the beginning. And be prepared to earn respect before advancing the story in either Saint Row 1 or 2 if you buy them.

Thanks for all the info. :tup:

 

I wish they would have gone into some more back story about Johnny Gat in Saints Row the third.. Aside from the beginning were he dies saving the character and Shaundi, the game doesn't go into much detail at all about who he was or why he was pivotal member of the Saints.

A chunk of Johnny Gat's back story is mentioned in SR3. First part being when Pierce asked The Main Character during the mission where you modify a car & buy clothes. (This also implies that Pierce wasn't in SR1 since he wasn't) Another time in the disc locked content The Trouble With Clones. And a final bit of information from the radio commercial about Aisha.

 

But to basically sum all those up as already mentioned in SR3 in SR1 Gat was in charge of taking out The Vice Kings which also helped him fake Aisha's Death. Then is SR2 Aisha was killed off by The Ronin. Gat later gets his revenge on one of the leader's Shogo. (Though his clone Johnny Tag doesn't know this.) From what was of him in SR3 Gat was a lot less violent then he was in SR1&2.

 

Pure coincidence both The Vice Kings & The Ronin wear Yellow.

 

Some other things to note about Pierce & Shaundi.

 

Pierce mentioned the last time a big naked dude said he could help him it did not end well when first confronting Oleg. Assuming he didn't go to jail between 2&3 this would also be the same time he met Gat in prison. (Though I rather not spoil why Gat was in prison during SR2.)

 

The whole thing about there being 2 Shaundis' in SR4 is referencing back to how she looked & acted when she first appeared in SR2.

And now I don't know whether to be happy or annoyed since....

 

 

I was starting to think I was going find out what caused Shaundi to change so much between 2 & 3 with how she was acting to Gat's death. She pretty much had nothing go on between Gat & her in SR2. Then by SR3 she had changed drastically & even more so after Gat's death.

 

Between 2&3 I can currently only assume that Shaundi tried to fill in the hole in Gat's life that was caused by Aisha's death. Only to be turned down. So what does Shaundi do? Same thing she was doing prior to Aisha's death, sleeping with various men. Only this time around she's looking for her "Partner In Crime". And in the process becomes even more angry with who she can't have. Or so I've assumed what happened between 2&3....

 

Now I'm hoping that I'm wrong since its going to be awkward with Gat back from the dead.... Damn now I want Carlos back....

Maybe Gat isn't actually alive? If they are all in a matrix style system, maybe they created a new virtual Gat based off their memories?

 

Then again, there were hints in SR3 that Gat might have still been alive.

 

Interesting about Shaundi. I just assumed she had a thing with Gat in SR2 which was why she seemed like the most pissed off when he died or whenever he was mentioned.

How is this game? Anyone playing / enjoying it yet? Any major differences in terms of game play compared to SR3? Still have a cell phone menu to call in backup?

 

I'm playing it / enjoying it.

 

Your health doesn't automatically regenerate when near enemies. In that situation the easiest way to regain health is by killing the enemies. The Chop Shop version in this game rewards you with the vehicle you've stolen (None of them are customizable but they look awesome.) Some perks in Respect & Super Power Menu won't unlock until certain things are done. (Which is annoying since I wanted to turn on the collectible finder now instead of later.)

 

You don't have a cell phone anymore but you still have the menu.

      I've been getting ready for spring for the last couple months and its taken up a crazy amount of my free time. We expanded our garden to be really huge last september in preparation for growing fruit and veggies. Then we decided to expand it another 6 more feet in one direction which we finally got finished last weekend. It was alot of work because our garden has an almost 6 foot tall deer fence all around it. We hammered in u-posts into the ground and attached the deer net and buried the bottom of the net so nothing will burrow under it. I should do measurements at some point to figure out its total volume. Its huge. lol.
      We have 3 apple trees, 3 cherry trees, and 1 nectarine tree in there. We still have to move 3 of those trees into their permanent locations (they are only 1 or 2 year old trees so its still possible to dig them up) and we have to plant a new apricot tree in there. I prepped the two rows for veggies last month but theres alot of weed whacking to do still and plants to move. We have 4 grape vines, 4 blueberry bushes and multiple raspberry plants to move. I started a bunch of veggies from seed and those tomatoes are still in an unused bath tub in my house with a light over them getting bigger every day. I'm looking forward to getting everything planted and done so all this gardening can give me a break.

      Well my dryer broke after about 15 years and multiple repairs I've done over those years. I had to buy a new dryer. So far so good. I was finally able to get my laundry done again and my bathroom no longer smells like dirty socks and febreeze.

      FML my pressure tank is failing for my well. Its getting replaced next week. Getting a new whole house water filter installed too along with some new valves and safety upgrades. Props to the well company employee for giving me the tip of hooking up an air compressor to the pressure tank to put some air in the bladder to get the system gimping along until the repair work is done. I miss public water. lol.

      This has been a busy summer. I'm almost looking forward to winter so I can get a break from all the lawn mowing and outside projects. Hopefully the snow blower I bought this year works good so I'll have alot of free time this winter to get caught up on things. When I've had free time I've been playing Final Fantasy X over the last 5 months and I've somehow finally hit 100 hours on it. Lol. Only took me about half a year.  I still didn't beat it yet but I'm at the end game stuff now with the monster arena and omega ruins.
