Not as good as the nut punch trailer from Saint's Row 3.

As if it would ever take only 30 seconds to watch anything with this video player.

Guys, they're trying to hard. This is going to be some grating shit. I can feel it in my bones.

100%

I have a really bad feeling this is going to be missing the magic of The Third.

This is how I have felt. Which makes me sad, because I would like this game to be fun and crazy again. I guess time will tell if they can pull it off again.

Saint's Row 2 was fantastic and the pinnacle of the series thus far. SR3 was a bit too much over the top but still quite good. We will see where this goes. Also, I am very tired of dubstep in trailers.

This reminded me of those Gamestop commercials where they make the game do something crazy with the "Power of Gamestop".

I could never get into the zany humor of Saints Row 3, and it looks like it's the same tone here.

Terrible.

Siding with terrible, as has been all the SR4 content shown so far.

Meh.

Loved Saints Row: The Third but was hoping they'd take this in a different direction. Will pass on SR4 and grab GTAV instead.

I hope I spend over 70 hours with this game like I did with Saints Row the Third. That game was soo good in so many ways.

That dubstep Hail to the Chief is actually pretty funny.

I'm sick of these vast amazing cinematic trailers that are obviously not gameplay footage! When will we get to see what the actual game will look like?

I don't do the SR games. I still feel though from the trailers alone SR 2 had a Bad Guy that made the Mohawk guy from Far Cry 3 a veritable Boy Scout. And I can see why SR 3 took off like it did, but I am just too old for it I guess. I wish Volition luck,..especially now. They are legitimate competition to GTA by doing their own take.

Just to say it I am not excited for GTA 5 either. Vice City seems to have been my high water mark despite later investment.

I don't understand the negativity towards it. Did half of you seriously watch this trailer, or just click the link, only to bitch that you don't like SR4? Good Lord.

I still think the original SR4 reveal video was the best. This one didn't really do anything for me.

Good content for a trailer, but they dragged it out. They should have squeezed it into 10 seconds.

Remember when Saints Row was about gangs and shit? Volition sure doesn't.

And thank goodness for that!

Looks exactly as what it started out as - An expansion pack for SR3. Only $60.

I didn't like SR3 as much as most people did. I thought SR2 hit the sweet spot of crazy shit going on and a sandboxy gang banging game. I also hated how linear the missions were structured and the themed gangs were lame. You basically beat the last boss an hour into the game and spend the rest of it fighting mexican wrestlers and cyber dudes.

That sounds like a selling point to me! =D
