Saints Row 4

Saints Row 4

And it looks just like the previous trash with below par graphics and generally daft stupid Gameplay.........Pass

And on a serious note .......Why would i want to buy a game like this on my shiny new Playstation 4 when it looks like something on a Playstation 1.

It does indeed look, shee-eye-tuh! Graphically at least. They can't be seriously expecting people to pay full price for that?

People will say on many occasions its not all about graphics and in some cases that may well be true,but to buy a game that looks like that on either a Playstation 3 thats been out a full 6 years or a new Playstation 4 is a insult to next generation gaming machines.

Why would anyone that has just upgraded to a Playstation 4 and its power be satisfied with what Saints Row 4 looks like,i don't even see a slight improvement from the previous one that came out a few years back.

GTA nailed these types of games and Saints Row has always been the poor mans version and should get with the program or at least up the anti.

I bought the last Saints Row as i watched many trailers and videos,sadly when i got the game i realised that the actual look never even got close to the video clips.

Deep Silver are the publishers the same as the recent Dead Island Riptide Junk.....So hence the clue,could have been worse i guess and it could have been gearbox software

Yeah, Deep Silver. Makes me shudder.

I bought the Saints Row2
That was a box of [censored]

I've got to be honest, I never played Saints Row 1 or any of the GTA games, but I really enjoyed Saints Row 2, just for the mucking about. I bought it for a tenner from PC world and spent most of my spare time nicking planes, buzzing the tower and then crash landing them on the freeway head on.....whilst wearing a mankini of course.

Saints Row 3 I picked up for 25 quid and lost interest after 3 hours. It was all too samey.

Haven't played Saints but I can totally recommend GTA San Andreas for laughs, which is why I'm so optimistic about GTA V. Graphics are very dates though for San Andreas but graphics ain't everything as Timey would say! Actually, GTA IV isn't bad at all. One of the stand out features of the GTA games is the awesome music, so many good tunes and such diversity. If the new game fails to deliver decent music there will be much weeping and many riots, I expect!

The game is not about the graphics, this quote sums up Saints row 4 ' It�s absurd to the point of stupidity, but it�s a knowing stupidity that�s crafted by geniuses'

You buy the game for the stupid things you can do, quite alot goes beyond alot of peoples taste but thats what makes the game different from GTA etc.

stupidity that�s crafted by geniuses'

You call Violation Geniuses .......I don't think so

There are only a handful of developers you could apply that quote to and they are not one of them.

Any game i buy has to have decent graphics else its game over before i even start playing it,with all the technology and next generation consoles around the corner it should be a standard thing in any given game regardless of how stupid it is or not.

Its a quote taken from a article, you either like the game series or not but it has sold very well, so their is a market for it.

As for graphics being the main thing for anygame, yes they are important but so is storyline /gameplay as without those the best graphics in the world will not improve a bad game.

My point is when i invest in a new Playstation 4 and something like Saints Row 4 comes along and looks like a playstation 2 game then the interest for me anyway is just not there.

I understand the market for these games but in this day and age at least make something that looks half decent and not something that looks like it could have been on a machine 7 years ago.

Developers have got very very lazy and only a handful have the big budgets and seem to push the boundaries and get the best out of these machines,rockstar,sucker punch,naughty dog,ubisoft are such developers but games like Alien Colonial Marines and gearbox just about show the worse in developers and the fact they think they can release utter trash based on a brilliant film franchise and get away with it.

Its not a case of developers being lazy alot of games its their design style in how they look visually, sure everyone could go to the lenghts crytek and dice have done but they dont all have the budget and time to afford to do it or if it even fits in with the game design.

Alien Colonial marines was Sega's fault, they should have kept a tighter watch on Gearbox but they did not and allowed them to ship the game out to multiple studio's and then decided to release it in the state that it was.

Sega were not the developer but the publishers and Gearbox made the tripe,i agree Sega should not have released it but obviously they want there money back.

The first part of my post was separate from the second, gearbox used the money to make borderlands 2 and farmed the work out and just finished the game off to get it out the door both are to blame.

Though at least we did get borderlands 2 which is a really good game.
