Agents of Mayhem Reveal Trailer Reactions

Do we know that? I first assumed this too after the trailer, but it doesn't specify that you're playing as these characters. I may have missed an article, but there could still be a "player", with these characters as the npc's, unless I'm wrong. I'd be interested in knowing.

No you do get to play as them and you can customise them. Not sure if you customise their appearance but you customise their

I'm disappointed that there's no character creator, but aside from that, I'm keeping an open mind and waiting for gameplay footage.

Agents of Mayhem is a third-person shooter in which you can freely switch between three selected Super Agents in your squad. Each Agent has their own unique play-style, special abilities, and traversal options. From close range bruisers to long range specialists and everything in-between, it is up to you to customize your squad with the Agents you want! Gadgets also allow you to further customize the gameplay of each Agent, which can affect your squad’s dynamics as a direct result.

I don't believe you can customize each person but it's said there are tons of people to choose from. I'm okay with that especially considering that this isn't Saints Row 5. I'm VERY excited about this game.

It might be harder for me to get over if there isn't any. I'm also hoping for good ai.

I love the aesthetic (especially the hand drawn style of particles), music sounds good (hopefully there are licensed tracks) and voice acting is solid (especially since they outright acknowledge the "villain" in the trailer monologues a lot and isn't the main story focus), I'm hoping for the best.

I'm pretty addicted to character creators, but as long as they have a busty redhead I'll be happy.....they better have a busty red head!!!!!

No character creation, no gangs, generic sci-fi setting. Pretty much what I expected of Volition after it's post SR3 brain-drain.
If you had told me that Agents of Mayhem was Borderlands 3 I would have totally believed it.

Now some may say Volition don't have to make Saints Row. Which is true. But if they're going to make a new IP they should make a new IP and not disingenuously piggyback off Saints Row. You killed it, Volition. Let it rest in peace at least.

I did not like the trailer at all when I watched it, from the art style to the voices, but non-gameplay trailers are always hit or miss and, with me, this one missed. But I try to reserve judgement for actual gameplay since that's what it's really all about anyway and the gameplay I just watched on Twitch makes me feel a tad better about the game because it looks like it might be fun. I still need to see more, obviously, but that stream was a start.

Right. That shooting animation

My SR protagonist was also a badass redhead, so something like that would be good. Not a fan of the Johnny Gat/Hollywood style characters.
