It's ok. It's not that special, though.

I still don't like the VR premise - that basically gives them an out to say, "The last 20 hours? They don't count."

His worries that I assured weren't that the game will not be like the awesome SR3, but rather that it is a desperate and cheap quasi sequel. Meaning that it will be a 60 dollar SR3 with a dub step gun and some new items and abilities.

You seem to be excited for that cheapness and that's fine by me, more power to you, but it is in fact cheapness, which is what the dude was worried about. And I'm certain because the "game" is set in the same town, has the same aesthetic and animations and engine, was initially planned as downloadable content for SR3, and based on the fact that all the developer had to showcase in their trailers was super powers and new guns, those additions don't exactly qualify for a new full price sequel. Unless it was desperate and cheap, which is what I've confirmed here today.

You seem to be speaking in a lot of absolutes about things you can't possibly know yet.

And this misconception that all of SRIV was at one point DLC for 3 is getting old. Considering how quickly, after they announced the Dominatrix DLC, they cancelled it and said they'd include it in SRIV, it's insane to think that they were already done with it and just decided to make it standalone. That couldn't possibly be the case.

@shagge: What do you see in that video?

I am no Sith, my good man!

I had the same thought, actually. I only played Saints Row 3, but it was as a Kanye West lookalike. This boxart doesn't represent SR to me.

It's not bad boxart, but my Saints Row experience will be a lot more of me and Pierce, hopefully.

@zeforgotten: yah I really liked Kinzie

It's alright. Also, Kinzie sucks.

@jouseldelka: I see an iterative sequel. There's nothing wrong with not rebuilding everything from the ground up each time.

I'm not saying that it's not disappointing that it's Steelport again, with some heavy reusing of assets. I'm just saying that it's more than a little presumptuous to say that you know the quality of the final game, or the true circumstances of its development, based on what's been shown.

I love the box art, I just wish I was more excited about this game.

Just take my money now! Such a great cover.

Its not that its just the DLC thing, it is also the fact it is set in the same city with just some alien add-ons from what I have seen. It just seems very remiscent of the sequel to Crackdown. It really seems as if they are pushing out a new game far too fast and I haven't seen anything to disabuse me of the notion that the final product will be compromised. Of course, as I said, I could be wrong and the game will be excellent, but nothing points to that at the moment. The only thing people seem to be excited about is the dubstep gun, which honestly, is an OK joke which will tire very quickly.

This is coming from someone who really enjoyed the SR3 where I thought their crude humour had enough bite, subtlety and some genuine invention. It is a really hard line to tread and once you fall over the other side it just becomes crass and borish. I realise that trailers are generally not a good way to judge humour in games as they reliably go for the lowest common denominator so I am prepared to give the game a pass until I see reviews or get to play it but I am not hopeful at the moment.

AMERICA!!!!

I like the idea of the artwork, but not the style of it. The graphical style of SRIII went more cartoonish than it's predecessors. I wish the promo art did the same.

In a sea of horrible generic covers... no one should talk bad about this one. At least some effort was put into it.

Watch a gameplay video. It actually looks more like Crackdown 3 than Saints Row 4.

as some one who plays as the mexican female it kinda sucks but looks good otherwise

I love the cover. Worried about the quality of the game....expansion turned full title, sold to the highest bidder. I really hope it comes together in the end!
