Saints Row 4 Announce Teaser

[[V] IdolNinja]

I'm calling it now, somewhere in this game we're going to see the catchphrase: "United Saints of America".

Look at the emblem on the presidential car.

Saints Row IV Trailer Analysis

 

[[V] IdolNinja]

I snapped 43 Screenshots from the trailer and added comments. Some of this info was from the trailer analysis, and some of it is my own:

Part I: Game mechanics and non-spoilery pics

New suit and robot dance taunt

New pants

Flopping wang physics with black censor bar. This is something that Volition wanted to do for SRTT and ended up pulling it (no pun intended) at the last minute and using the SR2 mosaic. This likely means that super crazy breast bouncing is in as well that suffered the same fate.

Super powers running

Super powers running with a Flash outfit

loltrinity

Player leaping into the air getting ready to ground pound with his fist

Ground pound connects

Freeze palm blast

Freeze palm blast effect on npc

Shattering frozen npc with a punch like Subzero in Mortal Kombat

Super uppercut sends npcs flying similar to Saints Row 1 drunken punching

Super uppercut connect and sends npc flying. You can see his shoes in the top right

More super uppercut

Super kick also sends npc flying straight up

Fuck yeah! Telekinesis!

Flight

More flight

Looks like the 1920s mobster car from the SR2 DLC

Monster truck returns!

X-2 Phantom returning. Also, VR symbols on the cop car and road signs

Hard to see in the pic, but watch the trailer again for this part. Hydraulics are back!

Laser rifle

Laser rifle and Space Amazon suit from one of the outfit dlc packs

Laser pistol with scope

Looks to be the laser pistol sans scope

Guitar case machine gun from the movie Desperado. Hopefully we get a rocket launcher version as well!

Gun that inflates/expands npc's heads. Looks like super fun times. Please god let us be able to use this on our coop partner.

Fuck yeah! Mechs!

You are definitely piloting it in this part of the trailer. I really hope we can customize them too.

Part II: Story conjecture and pics

Sepia toned politics shot.

Another sepia tone pic. The house interior is a big clue that we're in the past and that there is some kind of time travel mechanic. Perhaps the aliens went back in time to make you not-President and you have to go correct it like Star Trek First Contact. Also, that looks like a custom walk animation. Custom walks may be reinstated from sr2!

I disagree with xFL1PPYx that this is whored mode. It has the same sepia filter as the time travel pics, and is likely story related instead. Something possibly with the mutated Saints Flow.

Saints Flow can fight aftermath. Once again, see the filter on it.

Looks like a boss alien. Possibly the final fight against Zinyak. Cool cape. Player slides underneath him.

Player comes up behind and uses Tai-Chi to redirect force and flip the alien. Looks very Matrix-y like the dojo training.

More fight stuff with player's legs locked around the alien's neck, likely about to flip spin him.

Fighting aliens in Kinzie's warehouse crib

Looks to be a stationary turret section

Possible cutscene that may be showing a new crib and secret service homies

Player going into (or coming out of) the VR booth. It's likely that the superpowers will be available only in VR.

Huge mutated Saints Flow can that we originally saw on the EtD news release

I hope I can import a Saints Row 3 save along with everything I've unlocked. After seeing some SR3 DLC costumes in the trailer it looks like a possibility.

 

[BadMadScientist]

At first I thought that car on the right looked like a Blade Runner's spinner (just without those "front wheels").

Guitar case machine gun from the movie Desperado. Hopefully we get a rocket launcher version as well!

In worst scenario, we'll have to mod that in

Overall, can't wait to play it. If game has cheap giant monsters, retro-scifi laser guns, aliens, space amazons and super powers, then it's got to be my kind of game. Let's see if April 1st is going to reveal some more info.

EDIT: Also, that poster with limo is jaw-dropping.

EDIT 2: Sorry for double edit, but this is quite interesting (found on official SRTT board) and hasn't been posted here yet AFAIK:

"That expansion was canceled and elements of it were rolled into Saints Row 4," a spokesperson for publisher Deep Silver tells Joystiq. "There will be a director's cut of Enter the Dominatrix released as DLC when SR4 comes out."

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/15/saints-row-4-release-date-august-20

So we'll have a DLC showing off how the original EtD was going to look like? After we beat the main story that had elements of "upgraded" EtD?

For those sepia filter images, I'm thinking that it isn't time travel, but rather you begin the first mission doing a tour of presidency? It would make sense, seeing as the boss is in a fancy suit, with a fancy limo and the banners everywhere. Also I'm guessing that the place you are all guessing as a new crib is the white house.

"That expansion was canceled and elements of it were rolled into Saints Row 4," a spokesperson for publisher Deep Silver tells Joystiq. "There will be a director's cut of Enter the Dominatrix released as DLC when SR4 comes out."

Oh good, I hope that doesn't mean they're planning on doing day one DLC. I'm already a bit skeptical about the quality of this game just from the amount of recycled art assets I've seen already. I really hope this doesn't turn out to be a hacky, half-baked sequel full of more ripoff DLC packs and gameplay gimmicks that can only be used in one mission. Volition, show us some new character customization options! Show us some new city locations!

somebody claiming to be close to Volition posted this on NeoGAF

For what it is worth, to those suggesting this game is lazy, or still shows its DLC roots... I just want to say that I'm close to the team and they have absolutely slaved away to make sure neither is true.

There was sooooo much thought that went into Steelport's reinvention, to account for verticality, new methods of navigation, etc... that it really is essentially a new environment. Plus, the team, and I mean a full and proper development team, has been working on it so completely and for longer than people suspect, to make sure that it is not remotely the game SR3.5 might have once been.

the way he mentions both verticality and new methods of navigation makes me hope for ladder climbing similar to GTA4, since Steelport was littered with ladders

Also, check the rims on those cop cars. Would be neat if I can have those under my car.

All of those pictures above are spray tag logos from SR2. Also, the statue is the angel statue from Saints HQ in SR2. The rest of the building really doesn't look anything at all like the HQ though. I wonder what that's all about.
