SQUEEE!

Teaser Trailer

Fake Edit:  For clarification.  SQUEEE!

Looks like an August 23 release.  The trailer makes me think this may be the last installment though, which makes me kinda sad.

I have a feeling that they'll reboot the franchise after this - where do you go once you've gone from a just jumped-in scrub in Stillwater to being the President fighting aliens with superpowers?  I can't imagine them axing it completely, since Deep Silver just bought the IP and Volition (though admittedly at a fire sale price).  A reboot may not be a bad thing, though - my favorite is still 2 (pity about the PC port of that one).

[Lakov_Sanite]

I came.

Well, you have to keep getting crazier. So instead of giant dildo-bats or midgets in hotdog suits, you combine them into some sort of midget-hotdog-'sicle Though, I could see a reboot going on, sure. Maybe a series (fair warning, the following are awful ideas and would be even more awful if not for being in the context of SR) from another perspective starting with the 1st, like either leading one of the other gangs in an alternate story or having to be one of the lackies in any of the gangs (which would be especially cool if it could import save game decisions from the 3rd one to determine how big of a dick the boss is in the new perspective). Or fuck, the lost chapters of Johnny Gat who was saved by the aliens of SR4 during the plane crash in SR3 .

Yeah, I did prefer 2 over 3, but only played on PC. Sure it had a little consolitis, but it was much better than some other games while also being entertaining as fuck. Sad part is there's no SR1 for PC, so I missed that one entirely.

[goishen]

Yah, looks good.   My only hope is that we have three different gangs to fight in this one, instead of three different gangs allied against us.  I've only played SR3, but have heard that's the way it was in SR2.   Hopefully they bring that back.  I was convinced that they wouldn't bring this out unless Volition showed them a near finished product or a product that they thought would sell well.   In other words, I thought that they were just going in for the talent that worked for Volition.   Glad to see it, whatever the case.

[Paelos]

SR3 gave me a solid 50 something hours of enjoyment. If this is in the same vein I'm in.

[Signe]

Happy tears.

[Stormwaltz]

I am more excited about this than today's announcement of the next Civ5 expansion. (And I've been playing Civ for... holy CRAP, 20 years.? Fuck, I'm old...)

More crack, more Crackdown. WIN.

[Nonentity]

Incredibly excited about this. Infamous and Saint's Row The Third are the only two open-world-ish style games I've ever beaten, and I'm hoping I get bits of Infamous sprinkled in there with the superpowers.

"According to the official Facebook page for the title, the head of the Saints has been elected President of the United States, leading the charge against an alien force in a struggle to save humanity. Players will "wield gargantuan superpowers" and have an "arsenal of alien weaponry and technology" at their disposal, as well as the ability to leap buildings, outrun enemies and use telekinesis."

[cironian]

I expect lots of ridiculously unbalanced powers, added just because they are or look cool. And that's a good thing, for this type of game.

[MisterNoisy]

New trailer:  'Meet the President'.  New melee attacks and some alien designs.

[Pezzle]

I love Saint's Row III.  The game is still installed and I go back for murder time, fun time!

[Reborne]

When I first saw this, it was like someone had bugged my apartment.

I loved getting to run around and fireball things in the Saint's Flow enhanced part of 3.
I said that if I could do that for the entire game then I would enjoy it more than making cars dance. (For any of you who have no idea what I mean, check out the parking job of my screenshot on steam "Like a glove". Yes, that car is still and stable)

I'm right there with all of you.

The only things I could think of that would make another game tie in work so well is if the reboot started you out as one of the people that made The Syndicate big enough in another part of the world that they thought they could walk in and buy out most of the city in 3.

I've got one from Just Cause 2 where I somehow parked on someone's balcony.

[Stormwaltz]

Biotic Renegade President Shepard don't give a shit. He does what he wants.

Biotic Renegade President Shepard don't give a shit. He does what he wants. 

I actually said this in my head using a lisp.

Nice 

This sort of thing is a friendly competition among my friends.
That and seeing who can flip each others cars in borderlands.

Shows off some guns, activities and some of the superhero stuff.

Makes the superhero-y stuff in Crackdown look tame.

[Lounge]

This game could probably be subtitled "There are no bad ideas"... I would love to see the list of things too ridiculous that didn't make the cut from the brainstorming session.

[Rendakor]

That list should be "None."

[HaemishM]

Dub step gun is my favorite part of that video. So much laughter inspiring awesome.

[cironian]

WANT!

[Signe]

Me too.  Even if there's no more purple dildo.  I love this game.  More than likely, I'll get it for the xBox, though.  I've been looking at computers... it's really hard for me to game on this laptop... and what's with Steam being pre-installed on some of them?  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[Bzalthek]

I don't think I could play these types of games on controllers though. 

The steam thing really depends on if the computer can play those games (graphics wise usually).  Because steam is a pretty good distributor of impulse buys. 

[Signe]

I do have it from Steam for the PC, too, if it's awkward with the xBox.

[HaemishM]

Fuck yeah. 

[Paelos]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! 

[Sky]

Yep, this will be wild.

And I hope with this so over the top it reboots with V to be another start from nothing nobody gang type thing.

Or it goes bananas and is a sci fi super hero Saints take over the galaxy and you're the Galactic Emperor and rips off sci fi tropes.

[Ingmar]

Keith David as ... 

[Surlyboi]

Benjamin Motherfucking King

[Segoris]

They could not have picked a better actor for Keith David, bravo.

[koro]

Should have gone with Kevin Michael Richardson instead, IMO.

[Surlyboi]

Have you ever seen Keith David in real life? He used to live in my neighborhood.

Three words. Green. Velour. Tracksuit.
