Just make SR3
You don't need to pretend that SRTT+ has merit.

This. No remasters, no remakes, just the original version of 2 on PC that actually works and everyone will be happy.

>In that interview, Stockman called on Embracer to reach out to him personally, promising that he could get the band back together and "turn the franchise around" with a return-to-roots '70s prequel, tapping into the heart and soul of the original two games.

>Well, as it turns out, Embracer did reach out. Stockman claimed on Reddit two days ago that he had been asked to create a pitch for a Saints Row prequel.

SR4 is a bad standalone game.
SR1+SR2 are a good series that deserved a proper SR3 that wasn't the SR3 we got.
That's about all there is to it. Anything after SR4 isn't worth talking about.
SR3 is retarded as fuck cringe over the top nonsense which should have stayed in Borderlands, and which lead to shit like Fortnite and retarded skins in Call of Duty. Maybe SR3 wasn't THE catalyst but it was certainly a contributor. Fuck that game.

NTA, but I still remember:
-the bank heist in the beginning where you end up shooting up mooks on top of a vault dragged around by a helicopter.
-escaping from the syndicate airplane and free-falling, struggling to get a parachute.
-having Shaunti kidnapped, choosing to save her and going through mooks and defusing bombs with "Holding out for a hero" blasting in the background.
-being drugged at a sex club and escaping by riding a chariot pulled by a gimp and being chased by S&M freaks.

I had lots of fun playing SR3 coop with a friend, we laughed our assess off for most of the game.

Has this guy even made a game since SR1? I'd rather they do a full expanded remake of SR2 and have that be the reboot for a new series. Expanded map, expanded weapon roster, more cribs, more customization across the board etc. Branching storylines and narrative choices and the like.

SR was what you played during the gaps in GTA releases, and that's all.

>>724716562
To be fair, I think this dude was only involved with the first game, which wasn't as good as the 2nd but was pretty good nonetheless.

translation: we won't make it gay and lame this time! (they'll still make it gay and lame)

I liked that SR2 embraced you being a psycho, then SR3 just turned him into a HAHA SO WACKY.
Just let the franchise die.

>>724711847
Nah, SR4 is a pretty decent Saints Row game. Far better than SR3, at least. The side activity and mission structure was better represented than SR3, and the gameplay's solid even if most vehicles are made irrelevant. The biggest thing is also the story, as it somehow actually does way better at taking that mix of serious and wacky than SR3 ever did. Despite being in space and the enemies being aliens, I could much more genuinely believe in the conflict, The Boss taking it seriously, and having a genuine hatred of Zinyak than what could be said for Killbane or even Philip--despite thinking those assholes killed Johnny.

Like the only reason to hate on SR4 is because it is sci-fi, but it somehow absolutely managed Saints Row in space. If it was given a full dev cycle instead of being pieced together after revamping their original concept, I genuinely believe it could've been the best in the series.

>>724708781
too little, too late.
>>724709124
3 was acceptable at best, but it was the beginning of the end 4 just took it to its natural conclusion. 1 and 2 are the only games I'd replay again.

>>724709691
AC Mirage is unironically a pretty faithful return to the AC1 formula - but it exposed a fatal flaw in the "return to your roots" idea - why the fuck would I pay $60 for a game that I can already play and doesn't have the nostalgia of the original; so no one bought it

>>724718950
>hy the fuck would I pay $60 for a game that I can already play and doesn't have the nostalgia of the original; so no one bought it
Presumably better graphics?
I'd buy SR2 (for the 4th time I think) even if they only updated the NPC graphics and left the rest alone.

They already told the fans of the original to fuck off and they had no audience for the reboot and whatever the other game they made was called
Who would this even be for?

Weren't they already trying going back to its roots with the last game?

>SR3
Where the series found it's niche at being crazier than GTA, but ultimately a disappointing game because it's like they didn't respect what came before in SR2.
>SR4
The series' high point. Story campaign is literally just paying homage to SR 1 - 3, with Superpowers from Crackdown. It had the craziness from SR2, paid homage to the roots of the series, the only thing missing was some of the grittiness from SR2. It needs to take itself seriously more often.

I remember playing SR4 and realizing that I never drove any of the cars anymore and getting disappointed... until I realized that Superpowers are cooler than driving another stupid car mission that describes 99% of GTA missions. I care about these criminal sandbox games because I like Story, Characters, Dialogue, and Setpieces. SR4 isn't better in story or characters, but it beats any GTA's gameplay or setpieces. I'd rather replay SR4 than GTA4 or GTA5. Hell, I'd rather play SR4 over RDR 1 or 2.

>>724708781
If only they didn't go full fucking retard 3 times, each more damaging than the last, they could have struck gold.

12 years without a new GTA game, and a lot fewer GTA clones on the market, Volition could have made bank, like Palworld did to Pokemon. Instead they committed suicide.

But will we be able to get a heckin mugmosa?

Saints Row 1 was just a cashgrab clone to get money from people who wanted to play HD GTA before HD GTA was available.

Saints Row 2 and 3 were an attempt to make an HD GTA that was wackier than San Andreas because GTAIV being serious and grounded alienated people who just wanted to have fun, which was not a problem with GTA V.

There might have been a place for the series during the long gap between GTA V and VI but the games they released during were all shit and they were never going to match R* production values regardless. Now GTA VI is almost here and everyone who remembers the first three SRs is in their mid-20s or older. Dead franchise.

Does SR4 not exist in your universe?

kek. it is funny though when someone thinks just listing aspects of a game and calling them each shit is somehow more of an argument than just saying the game is shit in general

GTA V killed Saints Row. There's no room for them to bring it back unless GTA VI gets way too far up its own ass again like IV did.

SR peaked at 2, it had the best city, radio, minigames, progression, everything. 3 and 4 were fun because they had a ton of QOL and some meme moments

>>724708781

>>724721874
4 was, at the very least, a decent Crackdown knockoff. Steelport was basically unchanged and thus still garbage, but the superpowers made getting around and such more enjoyable. 3 is just bad, the only thing it really has going for it are some setpiece missions.

The dlcs for it weren't really any better. You remember genkibowl? The DLC about activities where 3 of the 4 were just reskins? Yeah, fuckin' hell. At least you could easily replay them, unlike the missions for the other 2 dlcs, I guess.

>>724721767
With 1000 year dev times, I'm pretty sure both can share the market.
SR was killed by very very poor handling of the franchise.

>>724711781

>>724709124
SR3 didn't get a single thing of why SR2 was good. All the silliness in SR2 was confined to side activities while the main story was like a good Hollywood action movie, over the top but played straight and never stops taking itself seriously. SR3 is like a parody of SR2, goes so far over the top it becomes absurd and tries so very badly to make you laugh all the time but it was written by a 12 year old for whom the word "dildo" is the funnies shit ever, also it gets rid of arguably the two most popular characters in SR2 right away. Gameplay wise SR3 actually loses customization that was in SR2 and the music is a significant step down, otherwise they're both barely passable third person shooters that get by on being open world.

>>724722551
This is what happens whenever a series runs too long. It becomes a parody of itself as the people making it don't understand why people liked it.

>>724721797
it's so funny that everyone is wearing matching colors, and then there's the girl just wearing whatever

>>724709124
SR3 was made with a hard deadline in mind since THQ was betting everything on it to save them from bankruptcy. Volition had a subforum that covered dev stuff, there was a lot of compromising done to hit the release date. Gat dying wasn't supposed to happen. Syndicate infighting over leadership after Philippe died was supposed to be bigger cause they were originally a 5 gang group instead of just 3. Bunch of other stuff as well though obviously since Volition's site is gone it's not easy to check anymore. Also SR4 wasn't supposed to use the same map, they were forced to by the publisher to cut costs. Don't like how SR3 turned out but stuff like that sucks. Also it's retarded that THQ's CEO took shots at how dumb/childish/embarrassing SR3 turned out to be when he's a big reason it turned out the way it did.

>>724721740
If you just say 'Game is shit', then its' defenders will just say 'nuh uh, is good'
If you say a part of the game is shit, then its' defenders have to try and defend that part of the game. If they say that Steelport is not a shit city, they out themselves as tasteless retards.

>>724708781

>never stops taking itself seriously
The voodoo boss begs to differ

The spouse is gonna look really weird because the nerves in my hand aren’t really functioning right now so I’m just dictating it.
What I want to say first is that we didn’t kill idle ninja or we didn’t do anything like that what happened was we were gonna move back to the patch with a smaller development team after the reboot finish development when the reboot finish development we got shut down that’s what happened.
Now first talk about pitching a reboot it won’t happen if you were there in the offices during the years prior to 2022 prior to agents of mayhem, even like as far back as SR4 you could not pitch something without someone far above you looking at it and going no we need to change that. I think a prequel is a really good idea. I think that can revitalize the franchise a bit, but it won’t actually happen because nobody had those upper levels wants a prequel they want this sort of mass appeal type game, which is what 2022 was trying to be and ultimately failed to be that but the reason why came out so confused and half baked is because of that failure to really make anything, anyone wanted to make it was just a series of ideas that were vaguely mass appeal but not really.

All the hope in the world to pitch I know a lot of people really wanted to go back to Benjamin King and Julius but I do not think it will happen and I really don’t think any new SR stuff will happen for a while. I think the franchise is done for now.

It doesn't excite anyone. You judge people by their actions, not their words, and game devs have, overall, just been huge fuckups for the last 15-20 years.

-Getting drugged up at S&M club and then you have to escape on gimp chariot while being chased by local coomers
-Wrestling match against Killbane, and if you pull off his mask, he starts beating shit out of his goons over his hurt pride
-Chasing Killbane through entire city in one of endings and beating him up so bad you snap his neck in half and later Pierce asks if it was worth it over saving Shaundi in bitter tone

>the mod developer passed away and they couldn't even be bothered to patch in his mostly completed efforts/work.
The staff assigned to work on the patch were part of the final team for the reboot. Guys who did bugfixes and worked in ensuring content worked on all platforms.
When 2022 development ended with the final DLC, a chunk of those staff would be moved to the patch. The guys above 86'd the whole company though which is why the patch will never get finished.

>>724725128
Because of the track record of those swedish fucks. Compare violition games before and after their ownership. Compare KCD before and after.

Also, marketing is their department, and they tried the "haters gonna hate" bullshit for saints row gay edition.

Finally, we have what the current president of Saber interactive said about working with them.

>Embracer even allowed a dev to do a Q&A on 4(+4)chan.
And then publicly apologized said it was a mistake that they'll never allow again.

Saints Row 3 was literally just them throwing cool ideas and dramatic contrivances at the wall. It's absurd in the way that Demolition Man or The Fifth Element were. If that stuff appeals to you, you'll like Saints Row the Third. If it doesn't, you'll be disappointed. It's all in service of making Morningstar, the Luchadores, the Deckers and STAG, and the sections of Steelport they occupy, all meaningfully different.
Each part of the game feels different, which wasn't necessarily true of SR2.
The whole point of taking a less serious tone was to shake off allegations of being a GTA clone, which had itself become far more serious and cinematic, which also held true with GTA V, at least until Online went off the rails entirely. (And ironically, became more like Saints Row the Third, long after Saints Row had receded as a franchise.)

The truth is, silly can still be compelling if you do it right. You have to treat it like it's all just part of life for the characters. Which Saints Row the Third did, for the most part. Whedonist self-awareness wasn't a major part of the writing.

>>724708781

>Saints Row 3 was literally just them throwing cool ideas and dramatic contrivances at the wall. It's absurd in the way that Demolition Man or The Fifth Element were.
SRTT has nothing on either Demolition Man nor Fifth Element.
Steelport is infamously a city that lacks distinctiveness barring set-pieces.
It's got nothing on Stilwater where every area felt meaningfully different.

I only remember the aesthetics of the actual gangs in 2 for the most part. It wasn't really reflected in the areas they controlled. Even though the Brotherhood were different from the Samedi, who were different from the Ronin, where their respective missions took place usually felt interchangeable, unless it was the one or two setpieces that were set up to reflect the gang's aesthetic. The only faction that really felt distinctive was Ultor, obviously.

In Saints Row the Third, you don't have that problem. Even though the syndicate members themselves are more visually unified, the areas they inhabit are a lot more recognizable.

Morningstar are associated with the center of the city and most of the tall buildings with bright lights. The Deckers are associated with cold, unassuming industrial spaces. And the Luchadores are associated with the dirty, rundown and impoverished parts of the city. All three of them tend to have their theme colors as a pervasive tint. Morningstar areas feel red, Decker areas feel blue, and Luchador areas feel green. I remember getting off track when I first played the game, years ago, and I realized I was in a part of the city I wasn't supposed to go to yet, because everything started turning sickly and green. I didn't need a TURN AROUND NOW, or an instant wanted level to tell me there was nothing out there yet.
You don't really get that in SR2. Harder enemies you haven't been introduced to yet will just suddenly show up and you'll be caught off guard.

The only things I remember from the map of 3/steelport are the central area (since it's got all the skyscrapers and such), the powerplant in the NW section, and the casino in the SW section.

I don't even remembers what the fucks on the east side of the map, other than the brothel or whatever for that one zimos mission.

SR1+SR2 are fun goof games capitalizing on San Andreas, SR3 and SR4 are perfectly NATURAL progressions of the original games. Stupid fun goof stories/characters just turned goofier and more ridiculous. Idiots here pretending there is some canon of realism that has to be protected and restored from the first 2 games are imbeciles. This joke series turning to aliens, hell, the white house is natural as SNL doing different sketches every week. The woke shit SR was closest to the original than 3 and 4, it wasn't shit because it didn't capture the "essence" of SR, it was just boring woke shit.

One of 3's front and center songs is even a rap song by a black guy.

3 had a solid idea (Crime but Celebrity), and had potential to show the difference between street gangs and legitimate international crime syndicates, but missed the mark pretty hard and the linear progression didn't help with the gangs either.
Reboot had a pretty shit idea from the start, because crime IS business and you have to be ruthless. Trying to make it a power of friendship story in a crime game is stupid. We don't even focus on the actual gang aspect much, just the main people!

Actual fucking retard alert. SR2 Stilwater is probably one of the most diverse, varied and interactive crime simulator maps, period. There's literally no inch of that make without its own unique character and hidden fun activities.
Shitport from SR3 - 4 might as well be Minecraft-tier randomly generated map of skyscraper and run-down apartment blocs lifted from a beta map of Liberty City from GTA IV. It's actually that soulless. The fucking pseudo Las Vegas/Phoenix in the remake has more character.

None of these are actually valid points though. "The Deckers are associated with cold, unassuming industrial spaces.The Luchadores with dirty, rundown and impoverished parts." Are you kidding me? Literally ALL of the town looked like that outside the cluster of skyscrapers in dowtown. What fucking color grading? Red, green and blue instead of SR2's red, green and... yellow?
SR2 gangs many not have always fit thematically with the territories they controlled (see the Brotherhood in Chinatown, for instance) but at least they controlled actual living, breathing, distinct city neighborhoods instead of randomly generated 'Generic American City Packs (Bundle)' asset from some online store.

The only gang whose territory stands out in my mind in 3 is the morning star, because the central island is the only part of the map that's visually distinct from the rest. Everything else looks pretty much the same. The deckers and luchadores (or w/e) have their landmarks (the power plant and casino, respectively), but that absolutely doesn't make up for the lack of visual variety between the districts.

It's kind of amazing how lazy maps have been since then.
Stilwater had an underground mall, caverns, secret laboratory, airport, police station, church, many diverse shops, cribs, parking garages, casinos, an airport, and other buildings to enter. Districts that ranged from suburbs to trailer parks to high end shops to industrial areas to marinas to univeristy housing to china town.
GTAV probably had more types of areas due to its' sheer size, but SR2 had life everywhere on top of that.
Oh, there was a drive in movie theatre too. Just because.

In 2 you were a crazy gang boss in a way less crazy world, this gave your insanity some depth and allowed the story to have some serious moments with emotional weight.
In 3 they listened to the feedback of people praising the zany elements of 2 and put those in the forefront. So instead of being a game that has a hidden giant dildo bat you could go and look for it became a game about a giant dildo bat. While 3 was still fun, it was also the beginning of the end.

>>724738408
Retard.

SR1 and SR2 had serious main plots with wacky side stories. Shit like Insurance Fraud and soiling buildings with shit from a septic tank were reprieves from shit like the constant warfare between the gangs of Stilwater, a man's girlfriend getting crushed to death by a monster truck as revenge for him killing your informant and close friend along with a comrade saving you from drowning only to die herself. It's very dark on the whole and to say otherwise proves you've never played the game or you are a retard that can't pay attention to the very obvious story there.


SR3 got rid of any semblance of drama or most of ti and just made it about retarded memes from the 2010s that no one remembers now and likewise the game is pretty much forgotten due to how fucking dated it it. SR4 doubled down on it and got rid of any semblance on a story. SR1 and SR2 are the only games in the series with any sort of vision or creativity put into it.

>>724747768

That's one boss in 2 versus the entire campaign of 3. I'm not defending that boss so much as saying there's a difference between one boss/section in the main story that's weird but the res is played straight versus the entire main plot being the equivalent of Lolsorandum Simulator 2012.

Even a 90s prequel would be too much as saints row was so rooted in the 2000s culture and San Andreas was already the 90s gang concept. Saints Row being mid 2000s and GTA IV late 2000s.

>>724748820
The Playa/Boss was never a sociopath. He only did really fucked up shit if someone messed with his friends or the fabric of the gang as a whole. Like the shit with Jessica and Shogo only happened because Maero keelhauled Carlos and Junichi killed Aisha while that little bastard Shogo crashed her funeral. He even went to Maero early on and asked for an alliance. Also The Playa/Boss is chill with most of The Saints, he will give them shit sure but is very forgiving given everything. I mean he let Ben King walk away, and Troy off the hook.

>>724710046
Do they even know the lore of these games? The Saints were a fairly new gang in the first game and the only way I could see anything like this happening is if they make it about King and Julius starting the Vice Kings. Unless there is some retcon bullshit where they say "ackshually there was a gang called The Saints before that and they were rivals to the VKs. Or they will set it in their retarded reboot world that everyone hated.

>Playa gets his revenge for Mako's bad offer by forcing Donnie to sabotage multiple Brotherhood cars and kill multiple Brotherhood members
They're gang members, not philanthropists. And Maero could have just played ball. He knew what he was doing.
>Playa then follows this up by stealing radioactive waste and putting it into Maero tattoo Ink. Which is exact reason why they then targeted Carlos
He asked for it and Carlos deserved better.
>There was also the bartender that was flirting with Playa and he immediately uses her as a human shield to duck Ultor security
He never stops doing that though.

As I said, playa in 2 was a sociopath and less engaging to play with.
Playa in 3 was revenge minded as well over the syndicate, but they didn't make them a total asshole.

>based on the 70's
Yeah, right, I'm sure it would be just like 1 and 2 where people casually use the word "nigga", retain the same style of humor e.g. pedestrians saying shit like "I should have married a white woman, they take more shit" and have hidden signs like sr2 did that said "All flight attendants are to be groped/harassed at least once every flight". Any actual return to form for this game would be impossible for a series like this in the current age.

>>724750694
>It's okay to escalate it because reasons
Yeah, if you have a reason then it is.
>He deserved it but my boy is a dindu
When did I say he didn't do anything? Would you want that to happen to your buddy that helped break you out of jail?
>It's okay to needlessly get someone killed
Maero could have just took the deal, but I suppose you have to huff copium and pretend that was never an option. The irony about you bitching about someone else using strawman and then doing it yourself is not lost.
>As I said, playa in 2 was a sociopath and less engaging to play with
No you're just a pussy that thinks street gangs are supposed to be whacky hugbox shit. Why don't you play the reboot game. That seems more your speed.

>from the producter/director of old game comes old game but better this time!

So you just enjoy playing as a sociopath, I enjoyed the more laid back stuff.
At least you made it clear where you stand. Oh wait, you don't because you're too much of a pussy to admit playa in 2 is a sociopath.

There was no retaliation after playa killed a bunch of brotherhood with the car booms, palya instantly escalated by going after Mareo directly immediately afterwards.

There is nothing about this that looks in anyway good and given how cancer the industry there is no hope for this. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and just call you a retard and not a shill since I do not think Embracer would hire the subhuman shitmen of the subcontinent just to do damage control for a article.

You can always spot when the pussies get mad

Should've just had Crisis on Infinite Gyatts and had Saints row go interdimensional, they've already got multiple universes now. If they're not at least as over to top as SR3 the entire thing is dead before it gets off the ground, might as well parody some other giant media clusterfucks.

Which was in retaliation for playa escalating with the radioactive ink, which happened immediately after killing a bunch of brotherhood.

This is why you don't make games for pussies, they will want everything to be lame and gay.

>>724755408

Stop projecting
>Which was in retaliation for Maero trying to fuck them over.
And that was done with the killing of the brotherhood, the radioactive ink was clear escalation by playa and you're going to ignore that because it's a smoking gun playa tee'd up Carlos's death.
>This is why you don't make games for pussies
Glad you're finally admitting you're a sociopath and that playa in 2 was a sociopath too.

Mind breaking retards is easy because you just have to get them into a loop of neurotic behavior and let themselves go into a tizzy like this.

It wasn't Maero learned nothing from that since he could just get more people and cars.
>Glad you're finally admitting you're a sociopath
Notice how the pussy has to curl in on himself and make things up to cope. He will soon enter his own neurotic fantasy world where nothing said here will be addressed and it will just be his own version of what happened.

Notice how whenever something strikes a nerve the pussy has to then say it back to me. I called him a pussy he cries that I am a pussy, I point out he is crying "no u" and projecting, he says that I am doing the same, Its all he can do because he has the mental capacity of a child.
>not letting someone fuck with you makes you a sociopath
This is why you are a pussy, what were they supposed to just let Maero boss them around? Make friends and let him use them as fodder and do chores? I suppose you would like that since it would be "relatable"
>see above

In his cowardice he needs to pretend that he has people that agree with him because he cant stand on his own. Or perhaps he is referring to the voices in his head that tell him he is right.

Is that not what the reboot a couple years ago was? Either way, just let this poor franchise die already. SR3 was an execution, 4 was a burial, and Gay Out of Hell was some crackhead pissing on its gravestone. I can’t think of a bad enough analogy for what the recent reboot was

Volition is dead
Deep Silver fucked everything
Shitty millennial writing made the reboot the most corniest faggy shit imaginable
Marketing team left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, including the dedicated fanbase
Rumours that the disgruntled devs behind that shitty reboot made burner accounts on various social media sites, (most specifically twitter) to shill or defend the game despite the negative press it was getting and pathetically attack those who were shitting on it for how bad it looked.

No matter how many chances you give this series to redeem itself, the next game is going to be shit. There will never be a good Saints Row game again like the first two.

Furthermore, if they're going to make a prequel like how Ben and Julius formed the Vice Kings, I bet you money that during the middle of development it's going to somehow end up being the most attention grabbing sensory overloading zoomer shit you'll see with stupid pop culture references dashed with a bit of Sci Fi bullshit because you know that stupid fat fuck Jim Boone likes to shoehorn scifi shit into a game meant to be a street gang taking over turfs. Don't forget to add the Subway Surfers footage at the bottom of the screen to keep the zoomer and ipad babbies attention.


>TLDR
The series much like it's developer studio, is dead, son. Just wait for GTA 6.

>>724709421
3 plays way better than 2 and the story is honestly not bad, they just went for something much less serious.
The reboot was the true death of the franchise, a shame because they completely wasted the setting and the concept, I liked the desert city and the idea that the members all come from each of the rival gangs, but the game is shit and the story is worsw.
