Yeah, trust me, they've hinted enough to where you know the human population will never truly die, just the Earth itself remains the issue. Will Saints Row V go through time to save the planet? Or will Volition go fully Sci-fi and have the Human Race repopulate on another planet? Only Volition will know.
What do you think about the Boss of the Third Street Saints? *Spoiler alert!*

To be honest, the formula "take down 3 gangs plus random organization" gets tiring after 2 games (I'd say 3 but I never played SR1). There are of course other ways to handle gang warfare than the SR1/2/TT route, but if a SRV is likely to happen, gangs are too small a threat.
SR2's Boss would feel wrong in TT and IV: mind you, I loved to play the badass/sociopath, yet stagnation is never good for characters, especially for the main ones. At least they tried to evolve the Boss, I'll give the devil his due: the outcome is open for debate but it's not like they didn't try.

Not to mention that this has been done as well with GTA 1 to at least San Andreas (stopped playing GTA since then).
Though, if they REALLY go and scale the game up, you can replace 'Gang' with competing Empires who now believe they can overtake the former Zin Empire's place as Intergalactic Rulers, if they don't go with Time Travel that is.
And I agree, people change (well, generally speaking) so I like how they have tried this for SRTT/IV (I base this on what's being discussed in this thread as I haven't played pre-TT Saints Row).
I'd say, give SR2 a shot - it's very cheap on Steam and you get all the fixes you need from this very site, just remember to save very often. Ok, its engine might be stone-age now but it's still a ton of fun.
As for Empires - yeah, I thought that too myself but then I was like «Uh, that's basically the same stuff with a different make-up». Really, I have no clue where SR is going after IV, which is not a bad thing after all
Sci fi? I like that.
Anyway since saints row 3 it was clear that Volition was taking that way for Sr Series.
And the Boss still keep his crazyness. He may be caring, but if necessary he will return the cold man we knew in Sr2 (I never played Sr1, I don't know how is it).
Vol has alot of areas they can go with R5. From fighting other empires to time travling. For me, the future of SR looks great. Though I would love if Vol ported Saints Row 1 to the PC, please guys or at least release the dlc for SR2 PC port so I don't have to rely on my friends house to play SR/SR2.
To be honest? SR1, the Playa seemed more like a guy just following orders.....In fact most of the deranged stuff was Johnny asking you to help him out or somebody telling the Playa that you should use this instead of that. So really the Playa seemed..Normal. In fact really the most psychotic the Playa got was when Johnny was running rampant. That and he doesn't mind Murder all that much with the few things that he does say.
SR2? By far more psychotic than he was before. There are hints that suggested s/he always had that persona, though it emphasizes more in 2.
But yeah, somewhere on this very discussion somebody said that 'Julius is an idiot for blowing up the Playa', and I do agree, as in my mind, Julius blowing up the Playa merely brought the psychotic out more. In my mind, Julius created the monster when he tried to kill it.
Plus Julius simply pushed all his mistakes on the Playa which is why I feel nothing for him. He made mistakes and instead of accepting it, he blamed the Boss for it. Don't get me wrong, Boss is not perfect and she does do some questionable stuff(as Asha says in her audio log) but fricken Julius made them look like the boogeyman when that was simply not the case(at least in SR1)
Indeed. Instead the rest of the folks here are right, all Julius had to do was tell the man to stand down. He would have grunted and grumbled, but when you're the man that built the gang and Johnny and the Playa were two of the most loyal guys there, you weren't going to have trouble. Technically Troy even seemed to not mind the Saints, and he was an undercover cop. Only Dex would have been a problem really.
I always felt that Troy still had some attachment to the Saints, you could see it did hurt to do some of this stuff and even tried to protect the Saints at some moments(see Ronin casino robbery) and even accepts bribery from the Saints so I always see Troy doing his job, while also trying to help the Saints when he can, unlike Dex and Julius who where traitors.
Really hope he's in one of the pods.
