Whats your opinion on the trailer of saints row 4?

I’m totally psyched for SR4 and I plan on getting it when it when it comes out. I think the hate that SR4, not to mention SR3, has been getting is unjust. People getting angry about the aliens and superpowers need to calm down. The Saints Row series has always had a supernatural element. In fact, the Red Faction series, that takes place on Mars, is in the same universe as SR. So it’s not totally unfounded that the Saints would rub elbows with alien creatures before too long.

As for those complaining about the “goofiness” of the 3rd and the apparent continuation in the 4th, I must admit that I agree with them, but to an extent. Yes, SR2 was MUCH better at balancing gritty story telling and slapstick antics than SR:TT but it’s still a fun game that, on it’s own, has many strong points.

Saints Row IV Coming in August

Deep Silver today announced the impending release of the newest entry in its pimp-slappin’ series, Saints Row IV, coming to consoles and PC in North America on Aug. 20, and in all other territories on Aug. 23.

The subhead on the press release? “Saints Row IV Announced, Bitchez.” Classy, no?

In this installment, the leader of the Saints has been elected President of the United States, which sounds like an arguably better version of reality than what we’ve had for the past decade or so. There’s an alien invasion to deal with, sci-fi weaponry to exploit, superpowers to be abused, and probably plenty of bitches and hos to slap around — and we’re not just talking about Congress.

In the next open-world installment of Saints Row, Volition continues the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level – the leaders of the free world. In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. Wield gargantuan superpowers and fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak’s mental grasp. Escape the simulation that’s trapped the Saints crew, or die trying.

Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. Utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet.
