None of them have anything like this, and it is the pure absurdity combined with an unparallelled entertainment value that has always made the Saints Row series an absolute must play.Īnother huge selling point for Saints Row has been the insane level of customization the game allows. Early previews have also shown off an Inflate-O-Ray, which causes an enemy’s head and eyes to balloon to cartoonish proportions before exploding in a rain of blood and guts. It is absolutely insane and I need to get my hands on one immediately (in the game of course). “What is a Dubstep Gun?” you might ask the game, to which the game will respond with, “WUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUB GET OUT THERE WHY AREN’T YOU HAVING FUN YET?” The Dubstep Gun sends out all dubstep wub wubs you can handle, and it forces those in its target range to bust out their sweetest dance moves and cars to immediately start operating their hydraulics. Instead, Saints Row IV prefers to provide you with incredibly unique and wonderfully bizarre weapons like the Dubstep Gun before howling like a maniac and throwing you right into the action. Saints Row 4 laughs at realism, and knows that any time spent in realistic gunplay is time you could spend slapping on a purple thong and pelvic thrusting into the face of enemies and common sense. The big trend in shooters for the past decade or so has been to focus on making the games feel as realistic as possible, putting you in real world type environments and providing you with an arsenal of actual guns. The developers knew that this is the precise reason people love these games so much, and this next installment looks to amp up both the huge sandbox and crazy, borderline absurd gameplay. In a class of samey, generic shooters, the Saints Row series has always been that crazy kid sitting in the corner, eating paste and screaming about aliens. Volition is still in charge and ready to bring a whole new level of off the wall absurdity to the newest title in the series. Everything about the demonstration felt like classic, crazy Saints Row from the beginning, most likely because the change in publisher did not result with a change to the development studio responsible for the series. The Saints Row series might have a new publisher, but you wouldn’t be able to tell after watching the gameplay demonstration for Saints Row IV we received at PAX.
