Saints Row reboot

Looking good

The earlier trailer didn’t appear to go down well. This looks alright. Is it releasing on previous gen consoles? The city skyline could do with a few more skyscrapers.

[pilonv1]

It did say pre-alpha, but is on Xbone and PS4 as well. Epic Game Store exclusive too which is not ideal but I can live with.

Was the original trailer the one where the "gangsters" really just look like a bunch of instagram influencers and hipsters? Or am I thinking of something else?

[pilonv1]

Yes, looked a bit like the Watch Dogs cast to me. They're all customisable so that doesn't bother me.

Here's a combat video too

Some more gameplay. The sideswiping reminds me of Burnout and the tethering part could be a lot of fun in the open world

This looks good. They say the driving feels good. The bike looked a bit awkward in motion. I'm still blown away by how good every single vehicle feels during my first and recent GTA5 playthrough (and ongoing GTAO career).

I skipped about 2mims in to where they ditched the car, the on foot combat actually looks great compared to GTAV (which I'm currently playing). Not sure if I'd get it yet, I remember not being very impressed with the original when it launched.

Delayed until August 2022

Looks good but if this wasn't called Saints Row I wouldn't be that interested. Hopefully some user created videos of the dumb shit you can do come out soon because this looks pretty forced so far.

[pilonv1]

Reviews are all over the place, seems like a buggy mess. Some of it I watched on Twitch looked ok but I'm not paying $80 for it on Epic. Should be $30 by Xmas at this rate.

Looks so bad, 360 gen gameplay and last gen visuals. Doesn't help the characters are screwed up because they decided to take the franchise in the woke direction.

Easy pass.

[flipswitch]

Yeah. Pretty disappointing remake. I think it was the original Saints Row that pushed me to get a 360 back in the day. Good old days.

[Peppermint Lounge]

I was bummed at the Saints Row reviews but here's an alternate take. Not as bad as many are saying?

Game is fine. Yes it does have bugs but damn, it is fun. Stupid fun much like the previous 2 in the franchise.
