it does lean heavily on having played Psychonauts 1 (and even the VR game honestly)
they recap it of course
it's a direct continuation of the 1st game

Their marketing is REALLY bad
and the devs know it
they're trying to do damage control on Twitter
Their publisher is fucking them HARD
the game is on the SR3 Remastered engine
which is a big oof
This is such a budget title
Jesus Christ
I don't know how you make a game in this genre
with tech this old
and using the Saints Row IP, and NOTHING from the IP itself
they've thrown out everything from SR1-3 that made those games good or fun
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Their marketing is REALLY bad
how did they fuck up marketing
I think the new game will be fine in that it plays like SR3 (a 10 year old game) and is chuckle worthy
Not emphasizing the customization at all
and I don't just mean the MC
Devs want to focus on the variety and variations of the gangs, weapons, cars, missions, activities, hideouts, etc.
instead, the publisher keeps focusing on nonesense no one cares about
"the South West postcard-esc vistas"
"the diversity"
"relatable teenage cast"
"become self-made"
none of those are Saints Row, and the devs KNOW it
SR2's main character was a black guy
Yeah, their gamescom presentation... I almost didn't recognize it was going to be saints row before the title drop
this is not Spooky shitting on them for being woke and picking that retarded VA to be their marketing girl
(though that is dumb for other reasons)
It looks like Watchdogs 2.5, but with 10 year old graphics
what was shown wasn't saints row
and what will hurt the most, is their setting is VERY similar to Cyberpunks
and CP2077, for all its faults, looks damn good out in the desert
Saints Row 2022 does not
Saint's Row is one of my favorite franchises I think
or at least, has a lot of nostalgia for me
it looked like generic fortnite-esque
idk why the publisher is fucking this game so hard
I don't think it's a great game underneath
who is the pub again
The Embracer Group
which means this will also be Epic Exclusive
who the fucks that
lolrip
swedish
one of the biggest publishers
they merged like 10 smaller ones together
they own a LOT of stuff
its nordic/thq
and Koch/Gearbox
Coffee Stain
Saber
it's the Euro version of Tencent
they just got gearbox in feb huh
yeah after Microsoft bought Bethesda
they've been gobbling up everyone else
shit that means this company owns the borderlands movie that will never come out and in fact does not exist
lol
what was the peak of saints row anyway 2? 3?
1st half of 3
imo
before it gets too silly
SR3, back in 2011 was such a fun game
SR2 with mods is great too, don't get me wrong
and SR2 had way better story/characters
but 3 was just so much fun, especially at the start
Gat out of Hell was fun in a silly sory of way
and ended with resetting the world, so they could reboot the franchise
in a meta sort of way that Rob would have liked
