Well Volition... you've somehow gone and exceeded my expectations.

This game looks even more flat-out crazy than Saints Row 3 was, and I loved that game.

I'm definitely looking forward to more over-the top Saints Row action.

Well it's obvious they did in fact turn an expansion in to a sequel. But I don't care! God I need more Saints Row so bad.

As a guy who didn't like Saints Row 2 and passed on 3, this trailer made me more excited for 4. Common sandbox crime games bore me, but the ones with fun traversal mechanics like Just Cause 2 has kept me entertained for a long time, so this is about the best thing that could happen. Still, not loving the systems. Are all melee attacks just pre-baked finishing moves? Are all your guns insta-kills against everyone but bosses, on which I presume they won't have any effect? I'm hopeful, and it's good to see a superpowered sandbox game that's not as gross as Prototype, but maybe I should just pick up that instead if this has worse mechanics.

Where's the 'rocket launcher guitar case' stance?

My thoughts exactly. If you're gonna ape the guitar case, you gotta have the stance.

Honestly, looks like Prototype 3 more than a Saints Row 4. The guns in the beginning are sweet, but the superpowers a slightly underwhelming. Also, the 'in the compooper' conceit is a little lame - that just gives them an out whenever they want to take it. Obviously, games aren't real, but yet another layer of not-realness really puts me off.

Hmm The whole super powers takes away the need to use cars or guns... You gotta find a good balance overall. Prototype is dead for a reason, and this is looking more and more like that. I liked SR3, was a fun / funny game, but where will it go next? It's nothing like part 1 and 2... Call it something else.

I'm not loving how're you're in the exact same city. Gives it a real, this is just repackaged DLC feel. If you're the President, shouldn't you be in Washington D.C.?

I worry that the super powers are going to negate any need/desire to use the vehicles. Otherwise, looks like a dumb good time.

Not necessarily. But I don't think they have it in them to make a vehicle as fun as the Crackdown SUV.

Anyone else think the narrator sounds like Gabe Newell?

It made for a funny image in my head.

Laughed pretty hard at the dubstep gun. But then I realized I would have laughed harder had I not known about it until I was given it in the final product. Stopped watching right there, I want to be surprised,

I loved SR III and this looks like a ton of fun, but it's really disappointing how it takes place in the same city...makes it feel like an expansion.

I'm surprised more people aren't bummed about that. Can you imagine the flack GTA V would take if it took place in the same city as GTA IV?

This wasn't very exciting. The game really looks like a glorified expansion pack to SR3.

I did like seeing the super powers, but I've already played Crackdown.

Edit: Narrator didn't help AT ALL.

The stupid Zombies that don't like this game should go play some more COD. They are the prime reason game companies don't make anything different. I can't stand Zombie Sheep sh*tHeads that buy the same crap over and over. How much BattleField and COD, or BlackOps can anyone play!

What the banana brained naysayers need to do is sit back and watch everyone else have fun.

SR4 is progressing in the only logical way it could more insane and more fun!!

The good thing about sandbox games are all the options there are to have fun with the game, if you don't like Superpowers use guns, if you don't like guns use Powers, if you don't like a particular gun don't use it.

Remember the one time I jumped out of a plane, shot a bunch of dudes, grabbed a girl, dropped the girl shot the window out of the plane, jumped through the plane killed the bad guy, and jumped out of the back.

Im pretty awesome...

I never really played much of saints row 3, i could'nt really get into it. But one of the most memorable gaming experiances ive ever had is playing co-op with my friend and beating him with a dildo. He would try to run away but i always got him. He would respond with shooting the tazer at me. Through tears of laughter we continued this for hours. I have a feeling i may need to get this game just for the dubstep gun.

Dupstep is a weird beast, I hate it as music to listen to but when it's integrated in a game I kind of love it.
