So a couple days a go there been rumors SR4 will get a remaster. Don't have any sources, I just saw many people talk about it on Saintscord and Twitter. Recently someone on Reddit found the game is getting an update on Steam
Source:
The icon was changed and the original name (in the database). Thanks to @F13 we know the icon is used by SR4 Re-Elected on Microsoft Store so I think the re-elected build is coming to Steam. The game was also renamed do Saints Row IV Legacy. There's also mentions the build will introduce crossplay.
Workshop build is pretty broken rn and playing co-op is hella buggy, porting re-elected build with crossplay sounds like a great idea, people could finally play together without any major problems but... there's something that worries me a lot: goodbye mods. It worries me the re-elected build will replace the workshop build, remove workshop, all over 400 mods and will no longer read custom vpp_pc files from the mods folder. I own the re-elected port on Microsoft store and I have to say the game isn't moddable. It's literally a console version of the game on PC... I have almost 1800h in this game thanks to mods and modding and I can't imagine playing the game without them (thanks god with still have the Gog version)
Anyway nothing is confirmed yet, maybe I worry too much but knowing Deep Silver they probably will ruin the game for me and for many people who enjoy the game with mods
Last thing it's basically a question: where the fuck is the SR2 patch?! It's been 3 fucking years since the announcement and I won't believe in that "devs are working in their free time" bullshit anymore. It's been months since last update and I know the current build of the game is in terrible state. Instead of porting crappy console version of SR4 that will die a week after a release they could put some work in the patch. People want it, I want it even if I'm not a big OF fan. After the reboot release, the game that made maaaany fans mad, fixing an old game sounds like a good idea to show that DS or Volition ain't bad companies right? Nooo, let's release re-erected on Steam...
(sorry for the slurs)
