So, the new artwork that came out is actually pretty bitchin'.



Looks like Matt Miller in the back behind Pierce, and Shaundi next to Kinzie (ugh) on the bottom, with Viola at the back. I like the eagle crest. Looks like an old school action movie. Too bad the real game will be nothing like that. I remember the rooftop helipad promo pics for SR3 that made it look like a slick crime action game filled with booze, money and guns. This artwork looks like some Dark Knight Rises type ****. And what are we ACTUALLY getting? Saints Row 3 with aliens. No new city, no new graphics, nothing.

@Shadow.... Did you think they would do it ANY OTHER WAY??? Look at games now a days. CoD Black Ops 2 has a new system where if you want something in multiplayer you can buy it. If you want more slots for things on your guns you can buy them with real money. Battlefield 4 is implementing a system where you can do that with EVERYTHING in game. If there's a god weapon in game because of a glitch, you'll be able to buy it and keep if. If you want to level up quickly, you will be able to buy a character that is max leveled with all the unlocks and perks that go with it. Want to be on the leader boards? You can buy a spot on them.
 
The future of gaming is shitty and I hate where it's going.
Gaming used to be about having fun, now it's all about the money companies are making.

Gaming has always been about money. But the game makers used to give a **** **** about their product. Look at GTA V and games like Watch Dogs. They look incredible. Because they took their time with it, made it the best it can possibly be. Now look at SR IV. **** sake, it's just DLC made into a full game. There's literally nothing major changed other than some flying alien ships and more cartoony antics. Even IGN said in their Rewind Theater that it looks like it could be SR3.

I mean, this is hitting new lows here.

The description for SR4 doesn't even sound like a new game.  It still sounds like a DLC pack for SR3, and it looks like it too.

SR4 has all the ingredients needed to be a massive bomb:

No innovation from previous installment?  Check

Little to no new gameplay?  Check

Recycled game assets?  Check

More terrible writing and insultingly immature content?  Check

Rushed development time?  Check

Release date a mere 3 weeks before the release of the highly anticipated next installment of the biggest sandbox title in the business?  Check

Yea, it's going down in flames.

After the worthless waste of money that was SR3, I had a tiny ray of hope that Volition might realize how terrible SR3 was and redeem themselves with SR4, but that's gone.

I suppose it was naive to think, even for a second, that anyone at Volition would actually put forth effort when they could, instead, hand out crayons to third graders and let them write the story, AND dialogue no less, and then just plug the third graders' work into SR3's game engine, and then get back to their normal routine of spending every day at the office drunk as a skunk instead of trying to make a good game.

Look at SR and SR2, how the city changed. In SR Stilwater was just a small little town and in 2 it was HUGE and awesome. There was so much to do and I spent literally COUNTLESS hours just driving around. I never got bored of SR2, never. SR3? I got bored of it by the 2nd mission in. Do you know how many times I beat SR2 start to finish? 3 times. That's it... I had more than 1000 hours in my very first save game for SR2 and the other two were no different. Why did I play again? Because of how much replay value the game had. It took for **** ever to beat that game. SR3 it took me 4 hours to beat start to finish. 8 hours to do all the story missions and the side mission/mini games. More than 1000 hours for one and less than 10 for another. The series went from the rise to power of gang to whatever it is today. I was looking forward to SR3 until I played it... It wasn't even like a bad joke, but a nightmare. How **** stupid it was.

The series went from the rise to power of gang to whatever it is today. I was looking forward to SR3 until I played it... It wasn't even like a bad joke, but a nightmare. How **** stupid it was.

I'm actually more inclined to support the over the top action if it wasn't so **** cartoonish. I love over the top action. I was one of the people giving crazy ideas for SR3 before it was even announced. I was giving out **** like flying jet boards and flying helicarrier-like fortresses to be used as cribs. Hell, one of the only things I loved about SR3 was the Specter. I love **** like that. I mean if they turned SR IV into, like, making The Saints into Cobra from G.I. Joe and making them fight whole countries, I'm all for it. So the opening bank robbery, plane mission, and the national guard armory raid were pretty kickass missions to me. But as long as it's not stupid bullshit. But when you fuckin' introduce aliens and **** like this



You just lose me. Everyone here knows I hate TheFitnessGuru3 on the SRF. But one thing I can agree with him on is that the series needs to evolve as it goes on. The first two games are about gangs. And they were both great, so it makes sense to move onto bigger things. SR3 COULD'VE been that. From how they were previewing SR3 with it's first "Power" trailer, I thought we were getting that. Evolution of the Saints. From the projects to counting billions in pool parties, diamonds, weed, champagne and a massive criminal empire, while blowing **** up. Flying executive planes and ****. You know, LIKE ON THE GODDAMN PROMOTIONAL ARTWORK. Know what I heard when I saw this artwork for the first time?



All I heard was "Black & Yellow". Rich, successful type ****.

"Yeah, uh-huh
You know what it is
Everything I do, I do it big
Yeah uh-huh
Screaming, that's nothin'
When I pulled out the lot
That's stuntin'
Reppin' up my town
When you see me you know everything
I put it down from my whip to my diamonds


But we got none of that, really. No, instead we got horrible, unlikeable characters, pointless missions, very few fun ones, awful story, and really no replay value, in addition to them killing off Johnny in the worst way possible to insult the fans (no ****) and killing off the main bad guy we thought was going to be awesome within the first hour of gameplay and in the most anticlimactic way. The actual game was so **** stupid, they completely misled people. And IF they did that with SR3, they could've moved on to the Cobra **** in SR4. Evolution.

Am I in favor of laser weapons, flying jet bikes, helicarriers, and military grade hardware and turning the Saints into a Cobra-esque group? Yeah.

Do I want dildo bats, farts in jars, cartoony characters, mollusk launchers, Genki, childish jokes and little to no seriousness? No.

It's a shame. It really is. Who knows, maybe they'll actually WORK on SR V. But I doubt it. Like MK said, I actually had a LITTLE hope in them. Looks like the series is totally dead now. Final nail in the coffin.

I just know that SR4 needs less wang in my face is a big disgrace.

Just watched the announce trailer and it does look like an add on turned sequel (I thought they would at least re work...i dunno...something). At least Ubisoft had the decency to push their AC2 engine as far as they could and introduce new **** with each Ezio game, but goddamn this looks sad. I wouldn't buy just because I'm not going to buy THE SAME **** GAME all over again. I saw so much copy pasta in that trailer, you could slap it on a plate, call it spaghetti and I wouldn't know the **** difference. Fuckin' A man.

I won't be buying it, at least not until it's in the bargain bin for $10, so a week after GTA V comes out maybe.  HA!

I've give it some crucial thought and decided not to give up yet

i mean yeah it's saints row meets war of the worlds but it still might be fantastic if the superpowers are fun some are telekenisis, super jump, fast running speed and powerful punches

No i'm not crazy and still disappointed with how **** turned out but no sense in hating what you can't change.

so far me and cali are the only ones who feel the same way thats why we bros before hoes :) everybody else is free to join us.

As for AC4 black flag, it features blackbeard, the most awesome of pirate bosses and you get to sail the open seas looking for buried treasures and harpooning whales when you're not on a ship your exploring the caribbean islands. I don't buy AC games anymore but if after renting i may consider buying.

You know, you can spend awhile away from this forum and come back without missing anything.

SR3 bashing. Now SR4 bashing. Good to keep with the times.
Don't like me? Odds on the feeling is mutual.
I don't give a **** what you think.
