Saints Row announced (PS4/Xbox/Epic, Aug 23 2022)

Damn Saints Row really fumbled the bag goin with this goofy route. They had a prime opportunity to capitalize off GTA dragging their feet for a decade and make some hard and fun shyt that will enjoyed for a long time, instead they went the safe fortnight route. Disappointing.. more disappointing that ill still probably cop this cause I still somewhat enjoyed 3-4 for what it was

Customization and Creation can be 2 totally different things though.

Creation means change everything from face, build etc

Customization may mean that they create the characters and you can change their outfits..

It’s a reboot so I’m sure the story is very different.

For me it looks closer to the OG trilogy than that dumb shyt they went into with aliens and super heroes and shyt.

Just hope they don’t force too much co-op stuff.

I was just expecting something more. It just doesn't resemble the Saints Row many of us enjoy. Reboots generally have the same elements that made the original good. Just doesn't seem that way.

im thinking its a case of marketing and developers having two different visions of the game more than anything can't be worse than the last Saints game anyways

It looks more like Watch Dogs 2 than Saints Row. But I'll still give it a shot. I'll wait to see how the game plays before I dismiss it.

This is what modernizing a franchise from 2000’s looks like

I hope Chuck D got paid for this shyt.

These are supposed to be gang members but every single one of them looks like they got a curfew at night and midterms in the morning.

What is with the hipster teenager vibe in some of these games now? Does that demographic even want to play this shyt?

Game looks like Kid Ink and Flo-Rida will be all over the soundtrack instead of Beanie Sigel and Apache.

Why does this shyt make SR3 look like a masterpiece in comparison?


What a disaster

Breh, it's not just games, but entertainment as a whole right now. There's a significant wave of entertainment featuring younger people as protagonists that look like these characters that are popular. There's probably a variety of reasons as to why, but I think it could be chalked up to two things. One is that people in the audience that see these characters as versions of themselves are far more active consumers of entertainment than most other age groups. The other is that content that features and is aimed at older/more mature audiences is starting to get pretty narrow in what it's about.

Nearly everything is about how marriage/corporate America/the legal system/your role in the economy fukking sucks, and content that strays from that runs the risk of getting shyt on for not being grounded, or realistic. It's a lot easier for you to get away with something lighthearted, with an "everything will work out in the end" type resolution if the cast looks like it came out of a CW show.

That said, I'll wait until there's some actual gameplay to work with. That trailer wasn't good, but CGI trailers don't really mean a whole lot to the game other than introducing character models. And even then, that shyt can change if it's that big of a deal.

Y’all acting like this franchise was always a complete shyt show

Saying "always" is a bit of a stretch, but if we're being up front, they have one or two games where they seemed to have gotten the balance right. Almost everyone agrees on SR2, SR3 is iffy, and even a lot of people who liked SR4 agreed that it was time for them to switch it up on the next one. If you count Agents of Mayhem, that's a 2/5 ratio. If this new one comes out and isn't good, it might be time to accept that this is a bad series that managed to get a couple of good ones out there.

This game better be amazing. I'm waiting for cinematic trailers for videos games to get played out. Just wait til you have actual gameplay.

In terms of the rest of your post;

I'm just tired of the "strong" bi-racial black woman look



And that fukking side swipe hairstyle in every video game

Agreed. It's almost like some of these developers are using black character models to check a box instead of bothering to find out that there's a variety of looks amongst us black folks.

They get bonus points for making them gay/lesbian

The girl in the game looks exactly like Rosario Dawson

I'm noticing, even in the "Black Girl Magic" era, most "black women" on mainstream TV, Movies and Video Games are biracial.
