I don’t blame Volition with their attempt to reboot Saints Row.
Cooler than most GTA missions themselves. Saints Row features some of the coolest missions I’ve ever seen in a GTA-inspired game. All I know is that I have finally played the full product and, while I do have a lot of complaints regarding the series’ new direction, they were right: this is still Saints Row, and a damn good open world game to boot. Was this the reason they delayed the game by nearly half a year, from its original February release date? Did they add more content to win people over with a more familiar feel? That I’ll never know. They wanted to show us that, yes, this would still be a Saints Row game at heart. It was a pretty bad reveal trailer, but Volition wouldn’t give up so easily. Clearly, it avoided the franchise’s absurdism in favor of a “millennial” approach, looking more like a mix between Fortnite and the “how do you do fellow kids” vibe from Far Cry: New Dawn. It looked like a ton of things, EXCEPT the Saints Row I knew and loved. Back when it was first announced, I cringed at its reveal trailer. The brand new reboot of the Saints Row franchise is a perfect example of this statement. They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
