Since a new SR has been announced as being in "deep" development, how would YOU make the next Saints Row game?
For example, would you continue the story (how the fuck would that even be possible after 4?) or would you go full-blown reboot?
the obvious answer is they shouldn't make another one at all

Start the game with Shaundi waking you up and saying " Were you having that dream where we take over the universe again?" and set it after the events of 2.
Reboot it.
Leave behind the style of 3 and 4, return to 2
As well as being a standard gta clone, make it also a strategy game where you battle for territory and gang dominance
You can recruit notorious gangsters/criminals into the saints but some have conflict with each other meaning you have to carefully choose lieutenants as some will refuse or join other gangs depending on who's currently in the saints.
More focus on your crew members, think ME2 loyalty missions but instead of one mission it's a questline
REMINDER
If you even remotely enjoyed Saints Row 3 or 4 you need to fuck off back to redddit
It would be like this

Shit I forgot this happened. What happened to this series?
Set it in the 90s and put in rappers from that era as characters
Soft reboot where you're not the current boss, instead you're a rising gang member beside Julius and Benjamin King in the Vice Kings in the 80s.

I just like the better graphics and humour :C
I wanna play 2 again (played on a 360 and ps3), but its pretty buggy from what i understand. is it still worth buying on Steam?
I tried pirating it on PC back in the day, but that was a whole other mess
They'd have to make a different name for the game since it's not about the Saints.
How does We Was Kings sound?
There's a mod to fix it.
It was announced in THQ's financial report.

>since it's not about the Saints
The Saints were named after Saints Row, which would still be a place in Stilwater, just called it "Saints Row 0" or "Saints Row: Before the Saints" or some dumb shit.
Does it fix the weird speed thing?
and is it able to run on win 10?
Saints Row: Kings of the Third Street.
No idea, I just know there's a mod to make the PC version not so botched.
This sounds cool, especially if there was something similar to the Nemesis System.
So San Andreas?
Take out the over-the-top fourth wall breaking silliness and bring back the tone of SR2.
The reason SR2 was hilarious was because you had this character that could be made as cool or goofy as you wanted them to look, and then they acted like total badasses with over-the-top action and drama scenes. It was a mixture of "this shit is crazy and ridiculous" to the audience, but the characters in the world took it completely 100% dead serious and plausible. It's sort of like how Baki treats its characters and world, you have people pulling grenades in fights and snapping nerves with their fingers but everyone acts like it's totally normal and serious and that's what makes it hilarious. Please stop with the Deadpool levels of fourthwall breaking "lolsorandumb!" leddit tier and try-hard adult humor.
Also, make it a reboot with full environment destruction since we all know Red Faction is dead in the water.
Oh fuck, I just realized if they chose to make it a WACKY COMEDY again, the humor would be fucking insufferable, far more than anything in some of 3 and and ALL of 4.
Humor in media has rapidly changed in the past few years. It's louder and more obnoxious than ever.
I hope they reel it back, but I'm sure they won't.
Yes but more east coast
INB4 even further gimped create a character and somehow even less buildings you can enter.
There won't be any interiors and you know it.
saints row powertools is what you want for the speedup bug. You'll have to configure it manually with a custom save file included on its web page but it works. GotR is pretty much for the rest of the bugs.
Reboot the serie to stillwater, and you are the true boss, you can hire gangsters, purchase cribs, buy new vehicules for your gang, it would be an ongoing war against other gang, like you can steal convoy of weapons, or make your gangsters escape from prison
>Stillwater
Indeed, there were maybe 3 at most outside of the copy pasta shops they had.
Used to be my favorite franchise, but SR and Volition and eat shit. Hell I hope they go bankrupt before this shit even releases
You just know they'll make it EGS exclusive to avoid that happening.
There won't even be store interiors. You'll activate the store UI by interacting with the door.
cant wait for the companion phone app to defend your hoods on the go.
Start it as a reboot of SR1. Play it straight for a while. Let the gamer get suckered in to believing it is dead serious. And then BOOM, time machine with President and company suddenly appear, and the wackyness starts up.
What an awful idea.
I'd make it like Star Wars and the gang is on a tattooine type planet.
Honestly, they should keep going with a sequel to #4 They should have a variety of play areas.
They should also have team multiplayer online modes or something. Or some type of online city RPG.
This is like that time they pulled that "not in a million years" thing with DmC
Saints Row 3 was the only one I played so far. It's the only game released on a Nintendo system
Explain to me why it's bad?
It feels like I'm out of the loop with the character relationships, but the game so far is fun.
it's not bad, it's a great fun game. it's a significant tonal shift from sr2, with a smaller world, less fleshed out storyline and less customization, so a lot of fans of the earlier game are disappoint.
It's hard to explain but I'll try.
People loved SR2 because it was, to put it really bluntly, a San Andreas clone in a time when GTA had dropped anything remotely fun.
It had plenty of silly elements but the core of the game was played straight which not only allowed the silly things to shine, but also made the dark moments of the story really impactful. Compare the funeral cutscenes from both games and you'll see what I mean.
Volition basically abandoned the seriousness which didn't sit well with a lot of people, not to mention the lack of effort put into the world compared to the previous game.
The They Live and Metal Gear parodies were pure kino in SR4
Midquel between 2 and 3, or sounds fun too
I found SR2 in a thrift shop and played through it recently, it was pretty good, I was thinking about getting SR3 or 4 recently but if 5 is going to come out I will consider it, SR2 was good but it needed to have some deeper mechanics. I like this idea. Although if it went too serious it would suck as well, flying planes and shit is fun.
I recommend 3, but not 4.
3 has some lame comedy, but ir's actually pretty solid in a lot of ways. I'm still surprised at how much there is to do in that game compared to something like GTA V.
4 has so many horible aspects. Cars and weapons are useless because you have superpowers, which could've been cool, but the controls feel too stiff. High flying jumping should feel satisfying, but it isn't.
4 also takes place at night for the ENTIRE game. No bright skies, no weather variety. Just night for your entire playthrough. Garbage.
Gat Out of Hell isn't even worth mentioning.
If they make it like 2 (the only good one) I'd probably buy it.
It's gonna be gay as fuck. Don't get your hopes up.
Go to school, study hard, and get a masters degree so you can run big video game companies and fix the industry instead.
Perfect.
