Saints Row Outlines Three Expansions, Three Major Updates Through August 2023

Should have just gave up on the title and remade part 2.

Just let it die. Remaster the first games, possibly up to 4, with no censorship nonsense, and put it in a single collection. I’ll buy it.

Zero interest in the game but good for those that bought the game.

Soooo wait for the inevitable complete package. Got it. Lol

Did they sell a season pass before release that promised this content and thus makes them legally responsible for delivering it (or issue refunds)? If yes, I wonder whether they're now regretting committing to it.

So 2 expansions to the game with a third TBD, a murder circus (possibly updated murder game show), and some robust patches.

So wait for August to get the complete game.

Now all they need to do is patch in better writing and give us proper saints row radio music - I expect 80s classics, hard rock and reggae...not a load of modern crap noone gives a hoot about 🙂

Oh yeah i remember i bought the Ultimate Edition and totally didn't regret that 🙄

I feel like I'm going to buy this in a few years for around £3.50 on the ps store.

Looking forward to playing it one day. Agents of Mayhem was also barked at and has proven to be pretty damn fun.

@Americansamurai1 yeah, like fans said Squeenix "should have just remade FFVII" instead of FFXIII.🙄😏

If anything, the first game would be arguably more topical as a remake candidate, considering that the original never got anywhere past XB360.

This has to be the least deserving game support ever made.

@Golem25 yes

I can see these getting as little effort put in as the actual game i mean they already have people's money and you know for a fact they are mad people rightly lambasted the game, 100% nobody who worked on saints row 1 up to 4 worked on this game, it is like one of those unity games on steam.

@nhSnork pretty sure ff13 is universally hated and when they did remake 7 it was universally loved and sold great, but ok?

I'm not super surprised they're supporting the game further. Volition was working on this for ages. The only way they're going to recoup anything on this game now is getting repeat sales from existing customers and trying to change the game's overall narrative in the community. Will they do that? I kind of doubt it, but hopefully, for Volition's sake as a studio, they do.

Just remaster saints row 1 and make it available on PlayStation, I'll buy it.

This whole package will be like 8 bucks around Christmas probably

@BeerIsAwesome You're not alone though.
It's fun to me too and I'll be playing through all the expansions.
While complaints on all the tech problems and graphics were valid, I'm an old gamer. I lived through PSone games.I can survive any graphic hurdles.
I had the benefit of having a gamer wife, so I had a co-op partner to laugh at the glitches with, but underneath it all it was still fun.
I thought the crew, your gang cast, all had great chemistry and were individually distinct, personalities and all.
I do think many people remember the old Saints Rows with rose colored glasses.
Saints Row 1 was terrible, a boring GTA ripoff.
Saints Row 2 was the best for it's humor, but it was a tech mess and weak graphics for even it's time. It had more glitches than nearly anything that came out back then.
Saints Row 3 was good, but too short. You could blast through the entire game in like 6 hours. Though as far as the series low bar goes, it ran and looked the best in the series.
4 was a joke. A bug ridden mess where they just threw whatever the heck in the game and the sailing in the air erased the need for cars..
So the game's were never technical marvels.
The company already announced awhile back that because of sales, they were shelving the series to die.

"4 was a joke"

Asha: "I tried your energy drink the other day."
Pierce: "Really!? What did you think?"
Asha: "About a decade ago I was lost behind enemy lines. My entire team was dead. I thought it was over for me. One night, I happened upon an enemy encampment."
Asha: "I was half-mad from starvation and fear. I couldn't think; I most certainly couldn't fight. They took me captive; put me in a pit six feet beneath the earth."
Asha: "I had nothing to drink but my own urine, and nothing to eat but the insects that occasionally skittered into the hole. It was my first real glimpse into the darkness that can reside in a human heart."
Pierce: "Hey, whoa, *****, but uh... what does that have to do with Saints Flow?"
Asha: "I'd rather relive those days than drink another one."
Pierce: "Well did you try the grape?"

Sorry, 4 will always be my favorite. Glad to hear about the new game expansions though!

@ironcrow86 That stuck out to me like a sore thumb how bad the soundtrack was!

@ceedj 4 is underrated. It has it's flaws, given it was developed within THQ's death spiral, but it's a clear love letter to the series.

Oh good! I enjoyed my playthrough (the new crew is more human feeling to me. A bunch of smart people down on their luck. Boss is still crazy though) and was disappointed to hear that support might be cut. I will put my money where my mouth is and show support.

And this is what happens when you release a game a year before it’s ready.

This might actually turn out to be a decent game in the end, but almost nobody will care because of the poor reception at launch. It’s good for the people that did buy it at launch — they might actually get the game they paid for. But even most of them have probably already played enough of the game by now, and moved on to other releases. I highly doubt that this game will get a second chance, like No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 have gotten.

I’ll probably get my money’s worth out of it when I buy it for $10 in another year or two.

@KidBoruto Exactly. I have a buddy who bought it on a whim after being a fan of the old titles. He literally said it's the same game but a bit prettier.

That doesn't scream "spend $60-70" to me. If it had been released at a lower price point, it prolly woulda sold better.

But now I'll just wait. These games always see steep discounts a year or 2 after release. I have patience.

@Americansamurai1 "universally hated" is yet another fan myth about one of the franchise's biggest-selling flagships that earned itself two whole sequels and whose cast were licensed for commercials even years later. Meanwhile, the "universally loved" VIIR faces its own share of fan barks for things like daring to twist and literally "remake" the original's plot.

Why? I don't understand why they're dumping more money into this broken game?

@MFTWrecks it's broken though. Unless they released some seriously thorough patches. Watched someone play it and the game just decided that you couldn't do damage to any enemy.

@Impossibilium the writing will still be terrible
