I thought it was another hero shooter watching that trailer.

 

[Ushay]

Not sure what to make of that. Needs gameplay.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Digging the trailer. Looks like Overwatch mixed with The Division with Saints Row's irreverent humor (and it seems to be a Saints Row spinoff?)

AHOY, MOTHERFUCKAS!

 

[bobbychalkers]

Yeah there's no way this isn't Saint's Row related. That logo IS the Third Street Saints.

Not to mention the Ultor names in the com.

 

[Breads]

Pretty cool seeing 2d composite effects in there but yeah.... this is no game in this trailer.

Yeah there's no way this isn't Saint's Row related. That logo IS the Third Street Saints.

There was a giant purple fleur de lis at the end with a character exclaiming "A street gang? Hardly." . Is this in doubt?

 

[fastballspecial]

Cinemtatic trailers are such a waste of money. Why not just reveal the game when there's some actual game to show?

 

[Chamber]

CG-only trailer. No gameplay.

 

[Hexa]

I literally had no idea what to expect after seeing the trailer but was fearing the worst that it would be a MOBA. That it's a single player game still working on Volition's strengths from Saint's Row does instill more confidence in me so still interested. That was such a pointless trailer though. lol

 

[glaurung]

*scrolls down the first page*

Fuse reference located. Good. Interesting video though.

 

[tilomite!]

That didn't explain much.

 

[Kurdel]

Love the art style, looking forward to this!

The Hollyood stuntman skill is genius, can't believe we haven't seen it before.

 

[Mechanized]

This looks... rad? Awesome!

 

[Chuck]

Someone should count how many times they say "Saturday morning cartoons" during their E3 coverage. Might top 1000.

 

[Falifax]

Can you do the Stone Cold Stunner in this game?

 

[True Fire]

This game looks amazing. Yet another colorful and fun AAA game this generation. We've finally defeated Call of Duty.

 

[dex3108]

My reaction is

 

[AgentLampshade]

Pick your squad of 3 highly skilled and iconic characters...

I'm out.

 

[Nirolak]

1.) I like the art style. It's oddly Gearbox, but it looks nice.

2.) The idea seems like it could have a lot of cool gameplay opportunities.

3.) The writing was really bad compared to Saints Row, and really bad in general.

4.) Removing co-op removes a lot of the appeal for me.

 

[Bloodporne]

Based on the trailer in general, the art style, dialog and mention of open-world, this looks like one of the least interesting games I can possibly imagine being announced.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

This reminds me of the Mercenaries games. Does this game have anything to do with Saints row? Because that logo in the trailer...,

 

[Dominator]

That was pretty bad and wayyyyyy too long. But, seems like it's part of Saints Row somehow and if the gameplay is good I'll definitely give it a shot whenever it comes out.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Who thought that was a good idea for a trailer?

 

[Bate]

This is what teenagers are supposed to like these days? Or what the Volition marketing and their focus group testing thinks they like? Whatever is the case, the trailer looks remarkably bland and boring.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

5 minutes ago I was burned out on the Saints Row franchise. Now I wish they would have just made another one. I can't stand the whole cartoon hero shooter art style that seems to be in a lot of recent games. I mean I fucking hate it. Also I'm tired of open world games.

Yeah, that seems to be the default art style these days and it's an immediate turn-off for me. I have nothing against a cartoony style (love Wind Waker) but somehow in a lot of current AAA games they manage to make it look lifeless.

 

[rhandino]

I will buy and enjoy this just like I did with Saint Row 3 and 4 (haven't played the first 2) but I am a tiny bit concerned about this:

Inspired by an assortment of past and present pop culture revolving around super heroes, comics and Saturday morning cartoons

They say inspiried but most of the times is out of nowhere direct reference to something blatant so I hope the humor improve this time around BUT it's not a deal breaker, I enjoyed the in your face humor of the other games

 

[Jawbreaker]

Hm. I don't know how to feel about this one yet. I'll need more info and some gameplay.

 

[Mediking]

Actually looks cool!

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Kinda reminds me of this.

If this is an open-world action game like Saint's Row, then I'm down.

Now you made me cry

 

[Data West]

Well... We'll always have Saint's Row 2.

 

[mikeGFG]

The Saints Row Cinematic Universe

 

[kami_sama]

Looks cool. Gameplay would have been preferred, but it's not as bad as some of you make it to be.

Also, I didn't think until the last moment it was a Saint's Row sequel.

 

[flaxknuckles]

I went into the trailer with an open mind but that did nothing for me. Find have to see gameplay I guess.

 

[_woLf]

That trailer sure makes it look like it's going to be night-only, just like SR4 was.

Note: that was one of my absolute least favorite things about that game. If that's the case here, I couldn't care less how good the game is, I'm out. That shit just irritates me.

I am curious why they didn't call it Saint's Row 5, because that's obviously what this game is, or what it started as. Same style of humor that is getting a bit old to me, similar art style to 3/4, same color scheme...

 

[Ban Puncher]

I thought Battleborn did poorly so why is it getting a sequel?

 

[tcrunch]

Some real boundaries being pushed here.

 

[ItsTheNew]

Considering how well saints row 4 played and how well the powers controlled, I'm down. Can't wait to see real gameplay!

 

[OniBarubary]

I like Volition's work quite a bit, love the Saint's Row series and the direction it went but...this does not instill me with a lot of good feelings.

 

[Son Of D]

Surprised it's a single player game. Thought it was going to be an online shooter like Overwatch/Battleborn etc. with that name.

It's up on Amazon with more details:

"Iconic characters"

Someone's been to the Ubisoft marketing school.

 

[Tecnniqe]

So the PC screen at the end got Ultor on them and that logo looks very SR style-ish.

Alright alright.

Now show me what we're actually doing.

 

[iavi]

They're spinning off the superpower saints row into it's own brand?

 

[kurahador]

Indifference towards the setting, but the visual style is nice. Reminds me of some games during ps2 days.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

Note: I would honestly have been more excited for a Saints Row 2 Remastered announcement, but I loved SR2 and SR3 and really liked Guerrilla and SRIV, so I'm willing to trust Volition on this new IP and get it as soon as it comes out. Their games might have some jank or performance problems, but the gameplay is typically always very fun.

 

[dreamfall]

It looks okay? I guess?

I think the heroes have a lot of personality - I just don't know what I was expecting. A new crime game or typical Saints maybe. This looks neat, definitely can't wait to see some gameplay- it's got a much more cartoonish vibe, maybe like Sunset Overdrive.

Here's hoping it's great!

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Golly can you imagine how boring this industry would be without CGI trailers

I dunno that trailer was still pretty bad.

Hope the gameplay is shown at e3.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Obviously hard to judge from a CGI reveal, but the promise of single player team gameplay is exciting. Plus, more open world stuff from the Saints Row team is fine by me.

I also like the artstyle. More directly cel-shaded than Saints, and with more color. Definitely has a 90s comic book vibe.

 

[Kurdel]

No co-op is unthinkable, holy shit.

But hey, if they can do more with the GTAV character swapping I am all in.

 

[Impossiburu]

The trailer felt like Battleborn DLC for a while there.

 

[outunderthestars]

Ok, Day one!

Off of a CG trailer? Man, marketing departments must love you.

 

[Jb]

That trailer was way too long and generic but the elevator pitch IGN posted sounds interesting.

 

[Breads]

Who thought that was a good idea for a trailer?

Didn't see Deep Silver's last trailer, huh?
