Oh don’t get me wrong, I love them as well. I’m just saying that if we’re able to recruit NPCs into the Saints and have them join our crew, those who don’t like them won’t feel like they’re stuck with them.

The more I look back at Kevin riding up to the Panteros and chatting with them, the more I think that this is exactly what the Saints would do. And the car chase is straight out of SR3. The Saints are back. They may not be who we’re familiar with, but they are here.

Does it really matter if we leave them in the hideout though? Since the story and themes would literally revolve around them and you'd see them in every cutscene and main story mission. Yeah we may be able to recruit people like you said, but it wouldn't really have much of an impact on the story in any meaningful way, if we go by the older games homies system.

Hmm, good point. I stand corrected.

Yeah, I know. I'm just bringing it up, because when I look through most of the comments on here and YT, I can hardly find anyone who likes Kevin at all. Which is a shame, because he's my favorite of the new 3.

Personality-wise, I love all 3 of them and can't choose a winner. It's literally the Cyber Genki helmet that gives him the win. I've never seen a cute emoji face work so well with a cocky personality.

I just hope there's one tradition Volition haven't kept.

Zombie Lin, Zombie Carlos, Zombie Gat...

Though the idea of a Zombie Kevin with a zombified version of the Emoji Helmet does sound pretty damn awesome, I'd still rather have him alive.

However all 3 of them have traits similar to the 3 previous Saints.

Neenah - Lin... Both seem to be experienced street racers.

Eli - Carlos... Both seem willing to help, but lack confidence.

Kevin - Gat... No explanation needed.

So hopefully that doesn't mean all 3 are going to be killed off.

In every game, there's always been one gang that seems to take priority.

Saints Row Classic: The Vice Kings had the longest Story Arc and were even affiliated with the Stilwater PD.

Saints Row 2: The Brotherhood had the most impact on the Saints dynamics by killing Carlos, forcing Shaundi and Pierce to take time out of dealing with the Ronin and SOS to focus on the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood even intimidated Ultor into releasing all the locked up Brotherhood members.

Saints Row The Third: The Luchadores managed to frame the Saints for destroying the Bridge in Stilwater and disrupted Johnny's funeral in the process. They even tried to take on STAG despite the fact that they already lost the city to the Saints.

I hope that these Panteros are the Saints primary rival in this game.

One of them is gonna die, knowing our track record.

SR1- Lin
SR2- Carlos
SR3- Gat (before we found out what had happened)
SR4- Josh Burk, DeWyntr sisters, and Oleg

So…yeah…

At any rate, from what I heard from MrSaintsGodzilla, what we saw was nothing like what he played in Volition.

Well if one of them does die, I at least hope we get the Zombie version of them as a Homie.

I'm wondering, why the PC version is ONLY on Epic Games but NOT on Steam?!?

Epic has been promising developers a better cut of the profits under the stipulation that the games they host be exclusive to their crackerbox game store for at least a year before it can also be put on Steam. They apparently refuse to host games on their store that go on Steam first. It's an understandable, yet rather asinine, gamble especially when the Epic Games Store is floundering as it is.

SaintsGodzilla is under an NDA and probably buddy-buddy with the company so of course he's not going to badmouth the game. Just like what happened in previous titles where people claimed it was "nothing like" what we would see... Remember when people said Fallout 76 would be like Fallout New Vegas? Fun times.
 
What saintsgodzilla saw was very early gameplay of the game, and the gameplay we saw, as well as the gameplay they talked about in interviews, looks and sounds solid. He said this trailer is not representative of the game he saw at all.

Would it really be so bad if it was?

I didn't see a problem with the trailer. Character introductions, scenes involving multiple locations that do not at all feel as bland and dull as Steelport, an awesome car chase scene, and even a look at one of the main enemy gangs. Not to mention all the different weapon types we got to get a glimpse of.

It's a shame boats won't be returning since we're in a desert, but I only ever used boats in the Missions that required them anyway. I rarely ever used them in free roam.

Though Johnny Gat is not returning, I wouldn't be surprised if a DLC was released giving Kevin a Gat-Style outfit & haircut.

Oh, the big question is... Will there be mission replay? I don't want to have to start a fresh save and do all the activities and such all over again just to be able to replay the main story.



I haven't stopped watching the trailer since it was released. If Volition don't release a trailer showing off some actual gameplay soon, I'll have to find out how much money they'd accept to let me have the game by the end of this week.



6 months... I'll be counting the Nano-seconds until it's release.

Honestly, I can't tell much at all about the gameplay from the trailer. I do wonder just how similar or different the game is going to be from Agents of Mayhem, which was set in the SR universe - yet I don't see people praising it for that. Until I see somebody actually playing the game, with all the HUD and customization and dildobats and all of that, I think I'm going to reserve judgment.

I would humbly beseech Volition to make the publicly available modding tools a little easier to use for both dev and user, especially since we won't have the Steam Workshop stuff for at least a year. And as customization is touted as a big thing, I'd hope that some of the previous games' limitations might be loosened up - eg more than 10 eyecolors.
