Loved Saints Row III. This looks as crazy and over the top as 3 was!

Will definitely keep an eye on this!

Because that's exactly what it is. This is the content from the cancelled SR3 xpac + SR3 asset re-use + some new stuff. It's really Saints Row 3.5 "cashgrab before next-gen Edition".

As long as it has enough missions and interesting side things to do I don't care if its the same graphics/city/engine/... PC version is probably going to be pretty cheap at launch with GMG deals anyway :)

then why name it Saints Row 4?? couldnt they come up with a title like "Saints Row: Retaliation" :|

new number to me represents a true sequel which this clearly isnt

People get way too caught up in this nonsense. Not putting a number on it seems disingenuous to me. Do people really think Assassin's Creed 3 was Assassin's Creed 3? Every sequel is a "cash grab" if that's how you want to look at it.

That is simply commentary on the name. Re-used assets, recycled DLC, etc. are different issues.

I enjoyed 2, but I thought 3 missed the mark, big time. This just looks like all the slices they couldnt sell you for 3. What the hell happened?

If I'm understanding it correctly, some of the content is from a canceled DLC for SR3. I'm still okay with them extrapolating that into a full title if it has the content and the chops. We'll see.

I'm happy enough that they're in good shape after THQ blew up.

THQ just went under and there's already a Saints Row 4? Meanwhile not a word on Devil's Third, a game that actually looks new and interesting :(

Quick cashgrab planted right before GTA V's launch.

So... what you're saying is you have little-to-no confidence in Rockstar Games? Because they're notorious for not announcing games until they're practically done and if you get any early warning ("preview") of their game, it's because it actually ran late.

Everyone calling this a "cash grab", doesn't know shit about a struggling developer's attempt to take control of the content they actually spent their hard lives making. Publishers "cash grab", because they have resources to put another team (besides the core team) on some cheap off-shoot. Struggling developers don't "cash grab", they work and work hard to give the public games that they hope and pray resonate and sell enough for them to be able to do it again.

Uh, Volition is developing this game though, so I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about.
