"We love, but we also recognize those are games of a time," he said. Without getting specific about the series' past, studio development director Jim Boone said the Saints Row reboot will bring the series into the 2020's. Between memorable setpieces and lovable characters were moments of casual sexism and homophobia within its main cast and beyond-the sort of stuff that I breezed by in all media when I was a dumb 15-year-old. I remember laughing often at Saints Row The Third when I played it 10 years(!) ago, but it took some googling to remember just how embarrassingly edgy its writing was. What's probably not returning is the exact tone of humor that players might remember from Saints Row 3 and 4. It sounds like players will be busy with all those minigames, but Volition confirmed that some popular side activities from past games will make a return through opening businesses, like the ragdoll punishment minigame Insurance Fraud. I got the sense that these optional businesses will rake in extra money automatically, but you can also help out by operating businesses yourself (like delivering drugs in a food truck). Volition showed off a few examples, including a food truck dispatch that also peddles drugs, arms dealers, car repo shops, nightclubs, and laundromats. Creative director Briant Traficante told press in a closed briefing that Santo Ileso is "one of the largest cities we've built for a Saints Row game."Īs you grow the new Saints crew (company?), vacant lots across Santo Ileso can be purchased and turned into crooked businesses. I want to learn more about them, but I'm more excited about Santo Ileso itself, which basically looks like a truncated version of Las Vegas' desert region. Speaking only from the few minutes of cutscenes and gameplay I saw, the four feel like a proper friend group that accepts and supports each other, similar to Watch Dogs 2. Their appetite for chaos is reminiscent of the old gang in the best ways, but I detect less meanness and cynicism this time around. The new crew seems like a spirited bunch. I guess that means your mission is to "disrupt" crime? Volition talks about the burgeoning crew-a quartet that's tired of working for big criminal organizations that decide to start their own thing-more like a startup company than a gang. You will recruit additional nameless underlings as you expand your criminal empire with new businesses, but the story centers around the four Saints founders. Interestingly, Saints Row won't have an expanding cast of characters that join the core Saints crew over time.
