The fact that Volition was (supposedly) shocked at the backlash makes me wonder just how many of the people who made the first 3 SR games are still around. Those guys wouldn’t be surprised that their fans disliked this mess
I would say the first two because the third is when the departure from the original style began but I still agree it's crazy to think how much the series has changed.
Look at what is happening to rainbow six siege as a game im leaving after 5 years of playing im done ubisofy doesn't listen to the fans at all all of their games dont listen to the fans so after r6 extraction im done with ubisoft thsts all we can do as gamers
"Rest assured there will not be any changes to the story or the characters.." Oh come on Jim! That's the exact reason why every SR fan HATES your reboot and why the backlash happened in the first place! Hell, it's not even the story really, it's the characters! It's your cringe worthy, "hello fellow children" characters lol
Speak for yourselves Some of us aren't stuck in 2006 with our heads up our asses, pissing and moan because characters we hardly know anything about don't fit specific standards. Get over it already
@@haus_o_slaughter628 Why don't you take your own advice and get over the people "pissing and moaning". Not everyone is a mindless naïve NPC that shares a hivemind opinion.
I dunno brother. Imagine we all loved OG saints row and then saints row 2 comes out. Then they show us the new characrers which are Shaundie (a hippie/druggie slut) Pierce (a pussy + Dex super-light) and Carlos (some kid with a brother) compared to the OGs we would be pissed. At least these new guys are actual characters with history and backstory. Then we have boss battles like a katana fight. A Voodoo battle. And they go out of their way to either take the OG characters out of commission for the majority of the game unless you do a certain gang arc first, like Gat, kill them, like Aisha, or make them an activity unlockable, like Troy. On top of that SR2 literally took out all the gangsta elements under the guise of "Ultor Renovation" but thats just a story element that explained why Stilwater was no longer as gangsta not why the devs chose to take out the gangsta elements in the first place on their SECOND game. I think Nostalgia + misinformation is affecting alot of minds right now. Its like you want to hate the game. I'm a huge saints row fan. Played the first two countless times and have a middling opinion of both SRTT and SRIV. I enjoyed GOOH but that game was waay to short and barely a saints row game. This game looks better than 3 onwards and while I think 1 and 2 had a good story, they both had gameplay elements that somehow make it too easy and unplayable by today standards. If you want the franchise to die with this game, then don't buy it. They are obviously not gonna change anything story or character related. (And they really shouldnt because giving into fan pressure is always a bad idea) however, if you want a future chance of a saints row revitalization then you have to give this game a chance and give your criticisms after playing it. Then at least your criticisms have weight and the developers will then have the budget to make future corrections. Otherwise you are asking for a game thats already in the final stages of development to re do major parts of the game just because you are triggered by some character designs thus creating a half baked game with a lot of potential bugs and losing waay more game because of it. Let it play out and critique after otherwise you'll be hurting a franchise you love just because you are offended by some design choices.
Exactly, most fans have every right to be angry at voliton, they obviously know what they were doing with that graffiti wall, trying to tease fans into thinking that there was an going to be an gangster like saints row game again. They put themselves in this mess
Let me make a comparison. Saints Row Reboot: "Get the f*** away from my friends!" Saints Row 2: "Your son never should've f***** with my friends." *Jumps off boat before an explosion* Even when the protagonist mentioned friends in the older games, they still sounded badass.
Honestly when he said that he clearly showed a bias because that's exactly how the older games acted, even the cast of the older ones look similar to the new one
"our game is broken and buggy as shit, and due to the fact we aren't a high profile studio like Rockstar along with the fact we went out of our way to piss off our long term fan base... we can't afford to put out broken and buggy piece of shit. We've been working hard to produce the BEST boring, average, outdated, overdone, 3rd Person open world game possible! We hope you actually give a shit and give us money!"
the collection was a broken mess also it was missng things that were in the originals rockstar didint even work on it them selves they had some mobile studio do it its absolute trash
Delayed? Should've been cancelled. The Volition who made great games like: Red Faction 1, The Punisher, and Saints Row 1&2 is long gone. Another studio bites the dust.
GTA has gone downhill with 5 but it's nowhere near dead. All they have to do is announce GTA 6 and the world will stop to listen. GTA is that big. Saints Row is nothing compared to it. If a GTA game gets delayed EVERYONE knows, but I didn't even know SR got a delay until today. I didn't even know its release date. Hex is right nobody cares about this crap
@@haus_o_slaughter628 He never said anything about expectations just that that's what it would take to convince him and can you blame him? Regardless of whether you like or dislike reboot it's undoubtedly very polarizing.
They're not shocked that the video was so poorly received, they're shocked because they found out that the crowd they're pandering to was the minority the whole time. Also, I live in Alabama, I'd love to work at Volition as their Cringometer.
Pr disastor + 6 month delay = maximum lvl's of damage control. Having a "diverse" workforce requires having people on both sides of the political fence, and from the pr. material we've seen so far its clear the current team is mainly hired on ethnicity and sexual orientation, instead of talent that can keep personal politics and work separated. In Denmark we have an old saying "hvis du ikke vil høre må du føle" which roughly translates into "if you don't want to listen, you'll have to feel the consequences of it". I gave up on giving feedback to Volition years ago, and I have very little hope or sympathy Volition Games in the future.
Volition is still primarily made up of boomer white dudes, with a few fresh diversity quotas here and there. They're simply trying to act ''grown up'' like their peers in games industry, where they're ashamed of games they made just 10 years ago.
@@charmingpeasant9834 I was referring to the people hired to meet said "diversity quotas," meaning all of Volition's devs are corny, including said "boomer white dudes."
Well well well, we've moved in time, and it looks like that delay did them barely any favours. Almost makes me wonder what did they spend those 6 months on. It certainly wasn't to nullify the cringe, I got that feeling...
Updated / Cut and polished contents will be 1.Boss Has two Mom's 2.Nina Man is identified as a women 3.Kevin is basically oly London 4. ill be yeeted out of existence if I say this so use your imagination.
You deserve way more of subscribers. There is a lot more thought and research put into this compared to other larger channels which talk a lot but end up saying nothing of substance.
I shit you not, up until seeing the title of your video, I completly forgot that the Saints Row Reboot existed....I'll give it an hour or two, I'm sure I'll forget again.
Volition have a serious case if constipation. Their physician said what prescribed laxative will take six months to work. As a result new Saints Row game was delayed.
@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 First of all, Mafia was always rather niche and while the third game was bad and sold well, Mafia Definitive Edition was good and sold badly. The original devs are gone and we haven't gotten a new game for five years. According to internet rumours, no new Mafia is being developed and I suspect 2K are looking for more profitable endeavours. I would be shocked if new Mafia game was announced in the coming years, unless it was 2K's attempt to make their own GTA Online.
@@JamesJJSMilton Or could've rebooted the third and call it "Saints Row 3" with the old font, or Saints Row 4 and GOOH were actually gangstas in space sequels. There were so many ways they could've went.
Hilarious I legit forgot Saints Row 5 was coming out. The reveal proved it was going to suck so hard. All the fake/woke Twitter accounts saying they love the new direction have moved on just like us. Unless they change everything about the story and characters there’s no way this will sell.
This guy is golden. Goes to suggest hiring a "CRINGE FARMER" from Alabama or some other rural Red state. Freaking golden. Wish every developer did this. Hire that "Cringe Farmer" to barometer every videogame release.
They made Watch Dogs 2 without the hacking, the urban environment, and very probably with worse gangs. What does that leave the game with beyond an open world and some basic character customization, like every other game has?
@@afh7170 Exactly. 1 & 2 have great customization. 3 & 4 are par for open world games with the clothes, while the character creator is par with role playing games. There was a major downgrade between 2 & 3, but there were also some sacrifices from 1 to 2 (jewelry, especially rings).
I remember there was an interview about Saints Row 2 and one of the developers had said there was content which was considered too crass during the time in development
Hardware Limitation.. i know feature from SR1 being Cut for the SR2.. but you see SR3 dude.. they cut a Lot of content they put into them with the reason... The game Cannot run above 20 FPS.. and even they wanted to cut a Lot more really sadddd.
@@YZY_Fox21 Saints Row 1 and 2 only had a horrible framerate when too many gangs and police were on screen the same thing happened with Destroy All Humans 1 and 2. Saints Row the thirds framerate was as bad as Destroy All Humans path of the furon
Good point about them knowing that most people dont like the new characters and the tone, therefore Volition needing to mention that they wont be changed.
Do you remember that SR2 mission "Bad Trip"? It ends with the Boss passing out on the floor, stoned off his ass. I was sincerely hoping SR5 would start with the Boss waking up from that scene, and everything from SR3 to AoM was just a drug-fueled dream.
That or the Boss wakes up in a bath-tub somewhere just as Shaundi, Gat & Pierce break down the door and the exchange is like: "Boss!? You alright?!" "What the fuck?! Oh, oh yeah, I'm fine....remind me to never to shoot up bath salts again though."
I can respect one's convictions if they're genuine, even if they're terribly informed or simply against mine. I cannot respect a company that intentionally tries to change their work to satisfy outrage. Because one way or another, the final product will not be something ANYONE really wants.
Honestly I don’t think delaying the game will save it tbh as first impressions matter a lot especially these days in gaming and pretty much everyone either hates the reboot or finds it bland and boring and the hype for the game is pretty much already dead at this point, not to mention volition fought with fans after the backlash making the situation much worse for themselves in the long run, in the end it’s sad and funny as a saints row fan watching volition starting to panic realising they can’t have another Agents of Mayhem again and have now dug themselves a hole to big to get out of.
@@diffsnicker6570 the thing is they need this game to sell well or volition will pretty much go bankrupt hence why they are now trying to make sure this game sells well (which I doubt it will imo as nobody is interested in the game at all but only time will tell), another possible reason why they may have delayed the game tro from what some people believe is because of Elden Ring coming out around the same time SR Reboot was supposed to come out originally which I all can say about that is that they dodged one bullet by delaying the game.
@@MartinMorning2 Nice comments which you drop man its true that not a whole million people can buy this game a lot of people will find another game to play instead of this 1 I don't know how the hell volition will save this game but man like everyone said volition just shoot themselves in the foot and will suffer more money lost then agent's of mayhem for sure.
@@reborn6h19 definitely, this is their last chance to make bank and so far it’s not going well at all for Volition, especially after they lied to the true fans with the graffiti wall thing and said their going back to the roots (which is never a good sign when devs say that, look what happened to dead rising 4) and also got mad that no one liked the game after the reveal trailer, honestly the saddest thing about this is I don’t think they can get out of the hole they dug themselves in and I think deep silver knows this too since they been trying to milk the game as much as they can.
Could you make more videos talking about other triple a game companies and the bullshit corporate that goes behind their studios? I love hearing you talk about this stuff
They going back to the drawing board for sure. Covid my a**. Nobody cared about the first trailer besides hating the new "sjw/he doesn’t wear a shirt i don’t now why" direction. "We don’t back down", "fans are haters" No one pre ordered. What a desaster. Maybe giving the license to someone else would be better…or they changing everything which would be funny.
I'm sure the 15 people still looking forward to it will be very understanding Why don't they make the next Halo game in a desert with teenagers trying to pay off their galactic college space loans
This game will bomb when it’s come out and they know it. They can act all high and mighty and be like “wE WoNT BaCK dOwN” but they know they killed any hype for this game and I can’t wait for the reality check to come and hit them hard because at this time I’m getting sick and tired of this joke. Bring back the old saints not this dollar store BK kids club, Soy boys beta slop.
I love how this college thing stuck even tho thats not at all what these characters are. Its like when the hard left or right read a headline and without reading the article spread misinformation based off nothing
@@kmshana94 not at all what the characters are? But volition literally said that was one of their motivations lol. I know it's not the only motivation or trait, it's just hilarious how they went out of their way to say "these guys started the saints to pay off their student loans" like lol, that's such a pathetically shameless way to try and market to young people. They could've just said something like "oh they were poor, they couldn't make ends meet, so they turned to crime to survive" and everyone would've been cool with it. Same message, just less cringe
Best about this channel, you learn more than intended. A bit of every part, psychology, economics and bussiness, culture. I expected less and gratified but getting the expectation blown away. I need to rewatch from time to time.
I believe the “re-boot” should have started after saints row 2, call it saints row 3 and we already off to a good start.. saints row the third was the downfall of the series, 1 + 2 were unreal
Nah man most people feel sr3 was the best,only thing they did wrong was kill off gat. I think they should make sr5 but in the opening scene we see Pierce wakeing the boss up like "yo you was having a bad dream" and basically start where sr3 left off. Then all they would have to do is go on a mission to find jonny.
@@J-Patt-H8 third WAS a decent game when it came out. And now it’s a eh game that is kinda fun to play and has SOME funny humour. I played saints row 2 last year and enjoyed it so much more than the third only thing holding it back is the abysmal port which needed a mod to be even playable.
@@baizuo_6246 3 had better graphics,quality of life improvements and the story fit perfectly with the other 2 games as each sr game elevates the status of the boss\saints. But honestly story wise their all good even 1 but the gameplay of 1and 2 are soooo out dated at this point. If you haven't played 1 I highly recommend it for the story if nothing else,its kinda like gta 3 no lead voice actor and cars only but you get to see the start of it all and it had an allstar voice cast wich honestly was probably the best of all the games. But in 3 we got to play as the saints at the height of their power,4 went too far...........good game just shouldn't have been sr.
@@J-Patt-H8 if you think Saints Row 3 was the best then I take it you’ve pre-ordered the new one already and didn’t play the first 2 at the time they were out..
The customization is the one thing they didn't remove. Unfortunately, you will likely be a hipster kid no matter what, and even If you can make a real Saints Row MC, the supporting cast will still be hipster kids.
I've said it once and I'll say it again, there has to be something going on internally or even between Volition and Deep Silver. Either a disagreement about the direction of the project, or Volition being forced to do something they *don't* want to do, or something else along these lines. Guess only time will tell.
Nah man, I read their Twitter comments after delay announcment, they are replying questions like " We love the creative choices we have made, we are confident in them, so they will not be changing." and i saw some cringe replies too.. I cant stay more than 1 minute in Saints Row Twitter account.
@@unclejack8530 why would the company reply with that if that wasn't how they really felt? You know they could just ignore the comments and play it safer that way but they didn't so it makes more sense that they really mean it when they made those replies.
The best way to make the "Chess Club" not cringe, is to make them grow up, make them realize being a criminal is not fun and lol, something happends, and they got to act serious, being a criminal will let you Lose alot (like Mafia or GTA 4 told you) They can grow up, they can give Kevin a fricking shirt, because "LoL KEVIN HAS NO SHIRT, Because random funny" is not a valid reason, if he had Alot of Tattoos like the Brotherhood, i would understand why, but he is more pale than a shaved Coconut.
If Volition is surprised at fans balking at the kind of characters that Saints Row 1-4 was satirizing, they're beyond hope, and we can just consign another franchise to the graveyard. I've already buried Star Wars, Star Trek, and Terminator, this will be no problem.
To me, it would have to be completely 180 to me considering buying it. Yes, that means those characters would have to be gone and replaced with real Saints and the character creator would have to be rehauled to have the actual option to choose male or female. As it is now (yes I played with it for hours) you can't create a type of woman with it I want. So much of that "you can make the boss of your own anything you want" because you literally can't. It's just not possible to carve a woman and a man from the same tree. I might add that this wasn't a problem in previous games.
I want to punch someone whenever I hear them bring up that ridiculous Myamoto quote, between Duke Nukem Forever and Cyberpunk 2077 assuming that a videogame is eventually good just because it gets delayed is the biggest lie in the industry. If anything a game that gets stuck in development hell is less likely to impress than a rushed game, as by the time it's finally out it's unlikely that it's even developed by the same people let alone that they're motivated enough to see it through properly. Not to mention the tech behind it would have already aged significantly by then. Also, I'd remind you that some of the best games ever made were created in 2 years or less, case in point the GTA trilogy (the original one not the shitty remasters/remakes/whatever). However, regardless of what his reasoning is I think delaying this game is probably the best decision Boone made in his life, even if the bar isn't exactly high.
extremely well done intro briefly showcasing what people can buy instead that’s arguably worth both their time and money while the reboot clearly isn’t worth either. it’ll die after its first game. i remember when cyberpunk got delayed 20 times because of a need for “quality and polish,” and we see just how much of that there was. the modern industry convinced? forced? forced me to buy older, or retro, games; mainly the ones i enjoyed from my childhood, but i’ve bought other classics i’ve never played. the kids coming up will never know what an all around solid and not so greedy gaming industry that released quality games on release looks like.
I love how their reason is to give the players some justice for the game, yet literally has bad come backs to every criticism they get and also says that they wont change anything while saying they will make a good game for people in the twitter posts lmao
You're absolutely right when you assert that they're "mildly editing" the story content during this delay. Which, funnily enough, actually makes me respect Volition even less than I did after seeing the new direction they were taking the Saints Row franchise. There's nothing I hold higher than artistic integrity, no matter how much I dislike said art. And so there's nothing I loathe more than wavering conviction. Especially when prompted by the almighty dollar.
@@haus_o_slaughter628 I have no idea with Op is going on about but I do agree with the idea that any piece of work with this type of tendency must be erased regardless of its intentional or not
It would be better if they just remastered the original saints row and saints row 2. Change nothing about the stories. Keep the original sounds (radio and dialogue). I'm sure us nostalgic fans would buy a $40 remaster that included all dlcs. They could also with that make new dlcs about the core members of the saints. Maybe 2 hour to 5 hour prequel stories about gat, julius, DeX, lin, troy, pierce and Shaundie. Idk just my ideas. Trying to erase what will be a bad reboot from my mind.
I'm not buying it cuz no johnny gat, peirce, and shaundi etc... I dont wanna here those excuses "it's a reboot they can do whatever" imagine rebooting halloween without Michael Myers or nightmare on elm street without freddy. You can reboot and keep some of the same characters that people love and introduce new ones. Completely changing the characters and slapping saints row as the title is very scummy and seen as a cash grab. We asked for a more gangster themed game like 1 and 2. Dont give me the excuse "gangsters are not a very popular thing in today's age" go look at a modern hip hop/rap video and look at the views and see what's in the videos. Hip hop is the biggest genere out there so to say it's a thing of the past is stupid. I'm alienated from the franchise that I once loved but now.. idc if it dies. I'm not buying the game idc how good the customization is... nostalgia makes money and it's not the saints row I grew up with. I love the 3rd street saints but not saints row.
I also think they moved the release date from February 2022 to August 2022 because of all the better games that would outshine it also being released in February 2022 like Horizon Forbidden West and Destiny 2. They said that they're still keeping the characters and story. PS - They don't care about broadening their views - they're trying to influence gamers to their own world view. I also don't think they care about the money lost if no one buys it - whoever told them to make their game woke has probably paid them enough money so they can afford to be snarky towards the fans who hate this reboot.
If this Flops and Worst than 3,4 and GoH probably Volition Will take another shortcut.. the only way is making Remastered For the SR1,and 2 if they're not.. The end of Volition Career is Near.
makes me question if jim boon was even there working on the original saints row 1 and 2 games. he seems to not care at all about the shift the series has taken to the point it does not look like 1 and 2. i preferred 2 especially the start up music when you are on the title screen and the pause music.
Man, i love your take on video games :D One of the rare UA-cam Channel that actually have common sense... I hope this channel gets bigger, it deserves big recognition. Salute from Turkey!
Me and my boyfriend played Saint Row The Third Remastered, of course it was truly fun and I enjoyed every single aspect of it and when i heard there was so much in Saints Row 2-- I want to switch over to that game to play. I never seen the trailer of those games, so hearing there's a new Saint Row game coming out, I was thinking of getting it only to discover the trailer was boring to keep up and then looked at the old trailers. Comparing them together even made me dissapointed even if I am a new player-
Personally I think the sr3 remaster is appallingly bad, it removes or lacks content from the original and has a myriad of issues that were either not present in the first game, or are just unacceptable for a "Remaster" in my opinion. Which is a shame I wanted to play through a beefed up sr3 but next time I want to play I'll just have to see if theres a graphical overhaul mod for 3 which there likely is. Anyways for saints row 2, I don't know what platform you were playing 3r on but if its pc then I do suggest picking it up next time its on sale because it goes for really cheap on steam and when the PC Re-release comes out all sr2 owners will get the free upgrade. Well thats if it ever comes out, its been 3-4 years since they announced they were working on it, and Mike Watson, The main guy working on it, died last year RIP. Ah and if you didn't know SR2's pc port is infamously broken but there are fixes. And the Re-release is supposed to add all the missing DLC thats currently defacto exclusive to console. And speaking of console if thats where you are playing the game on, the xbox is probably the best choice since it has back-compat with the newer consoles. Not sure what playstations situation with the game is
Man you completely hit your self an 10k very very soon my homie make sure you hit yourself to 9k and reach then 10k man congratulations you doing well Hexagon and for sure true the saints row 2022 got a an real issue of bugs but I don't think a lot of the people but I will say half will try this but not a lot of people will not buy this game from day 1 in August you will see half of saints row fans buy others nah but let's see in 6 months time what the game turns out to be👍🏿
How can a studio that thought this was a great idea to begin with have the capability to fix this. I'm picturing soyfaces and feminists trying to make a game that gives the same vibe as SR2 and I dont see it coming from these people. The game is cringe because the employees are cringe. They're making a game in their image, and sadly they think their consumers are all from the twitter bubble.
The delaying of the game is probably the smartest move volition has done lately. The original release date was on the same day as when Elden Ring was going to release. If they woukd have stuck to that release date then the SR Reboot would have been SLAUGHTERED by Elden Ring in sales. NGL, I'm kind of disappointed that we won't get to see that bloodbath happen.
Jim Boone: Hey guys, we hear you, The game sucks, but rest assured, we are going to take an extra six months to try and get you to forget the shitty things we are not going to fix
I think they destroyed this beloved franchise. Starting with saints row the third when they started moving away from what people loved. The only way to salvage this game is to start from scratch
@Pachakuti [パチャクテ] it only sold more because of the exposure sr2 got it. Sr2 wasn’t a famous release but it grew in fame over time. Only people who think of sr3 as the highlight of the series are people who only played 3. Real fans recognize it’s better even if they started on 3.
@Pachakuti [パチャクテ] it isn’t, just sold a lot on its release. All long time fans were disappointed. Only people who got what they wanted were people who just ent running and gunning and little story
@Pachakuti [パチャクテ] the biggest reason sr the third sold more is the marketing bro it had the best marketing out of all the sr games but let's not be delusional sr the third is trash story wise
This isn’t cringe to them. They actually think what they have is badass and wanted. I love Saints Row but it IS dead. It died the day SR3 was released.
The fact that Volition was (supposedly) shocked at the backlash makes me wonder just how many of the people who made the first 3 SR games are still around. Those guys wouldn’t be surprised that their fans disliked this mess
I would say the first two because the third is when the departure from the original style began but I still agree it's crazy to think how much the series has changed.

Saints Row 2: "Your son never should've f***** with my friends." *Jumps off boat before an explosion*
Even when the protagonist mentioned friends in the older games, they still sounded badass.
Exactly then this new 1 right what we just heard 🙄😄😄
Every employee at Volition should just go back and play SR2
Honestly when he said that he clearly showed a bias because that's exactly how the older games acted, even the cast of the older ones look similar to the new one
@@fauxgucci4621 on god, how do you mess up a reboots storyline of all thing?
Today I was replaying the second game and got to the Ronin missions, exactly my thoughts haha
"our game is broken and buggy as shit, and due to the fact we aren't a high profile studio like Rockstar along with the fact we went out of our way to piss off our long term fan base... we can't afford to put out broken and buggy piece of shit. We've been working hard to produce the BEST boring, average, outdated, overdone, 3rd Person open world game possible! We hope you actually give a shit and give us money!"
💯
Thank you for this translation 👍🏽
I mean given the fact that rockstar willingly put out the definitive collection I would say thats false
@@breezy3176 nah they can put out pieces of shit and still profit from sales. Volition doesn't have nearly enough clout to get away with that.
the collection was a broken mess also it was missng things that were in the originals rockstar didint even work on it them selves they had some mobile studio do it its absolute trash
Delayed? Should've been cancelled. The Volition who made great games like: Red Faction 1, The Punisher, and Saints Row 1&2 is long gone.
Another studio bites the dust.
i didn't know they made punisher. what a great game. they understood the character and the story. the interrogation mode is fun. what a shame.
Saints Row just like the GTA franchise is dead.
And instead of doing what the remaining fans want they virtue signal to non-existent fans.
GTA has gone downhill with 5 but it's nowhere near dead. All they have to do is announce GTA 6 and the world will stop to listen. GTA is that big. Saints Row is nothing compared to it. If a GTA game gets delayed EVERYONE knows, but I didn't even know SR got a delay until today. I didn't even know its release date. Hex is right nobody cares about this crap
Of course it's COVID's "fault". ROFL
And I still don't care unless they manage to change the cast and rewrite the game in 6 months
So you're expecting something both unrealistic and ridiculous
Shocking

@@BryanAFC It is but there are people who see it in a positive light as well.
Intro was hilarious 🤣, It really did capture the feeling of the community's total apathetic disregard for the reboot.
They're not shocked that the video was so poorly received, they're shocked because they found out that the crowd they're pandering to was the minority the whole time. Also, I live in Alabama, I'd love to work at Volition as their Cringometer.
Pr disastor + 6 month delay = maximum lvl's of damage control.
Having a "diverse" workforce requires having people on both sides of the political fence, and from the pr. material we've seen so far its clear the current team is mainly hired on ethnicity and sexual orientation, instead of talent that can keep personal politics and work separated.
In Denmark we have an old saying "hvis du ikke vil høre må du føle" which roughly translates into "if you don't want to listen, you'll have to feel the consequences of it".
I gave up on giving feedback to Volition years ago, and I have very little hope or sympathy Volition Games in the future.
Volition is still primarily made up of boomer white dudes, with a few fresh diversity quotas here and there.
They're simply trying to act ''grown up'' like their peers in games industry, where they're ashamed of games they made just 10 years ago.

Agreed this is some quality shit. I'm honestly surprised

Definitely though more people need to watch the other videos rather than just saints row ones.
The Saints Row reboot honestly looks like a rip off of Watch Dogs 2, but worse
I fear that if Volition "cut the cringe" so to speak, there wouldn't be much of a game left at this point.. I guess we'll see.
Päätit sit puhua faktoja
So many modern games would end up better if they had at least one normal person on staff.
The game bombed so hard Volition's parent company lost stock value. I think it's time for a victory lap.
I doubt they could even figure out what is and isn't cringe.
This reboot is dead in the water man
"How many bugs does this game have?" That's a good question, considering how broken it was at release
If they want to make the best Saints Row game, remaster Saints Row 2
Can't wait to hear you break down just how much of a shit-show this game is now that it's released.
Yup. Flippy gave up on the woke on it so the Hexagon is our only hope for long review about this trash fire reboot
ah yes, my new favorite channel has once again uploaded
I shit you not, up until seeing the title of your video, I completly forgot that the Saints Row Reboot existed....I'll give it an hour or two, I'm sure I'll forget again.
Volition have a serious case if constipation. Their physician said what prescribed laxative will take six months to work. As a result new Saints Row game was delayed.
*In the future... When you guys comment "This video is outdated" you proved his point.*
GTA is dead...

@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 First of all, Mafia was always rather niche and while the third game was bad and sold well, Mafia Definitive Edition was good and sold badly. The original devs are gone and we haven't gotten a new game for five years. According to internet rumours, no new Mafia is being developed and I suspect 2K are looking for more profitable endeavours. I would be shocked if new Mafia game was announced in the coming years, unless it was 2K's attempt to make their own GTA Online.
They’re delaying the inevitable…. They’re just polishing a turd 💩 at this point 🚮🚮🚮 #NotMySaintsRow #AintsRow
Calling the new characters "The chess club" is probably the best possible nickname for the reboot.
They could’ve just did a prequel with you playing as Julius and that would’ve been amazing
They could have just gone back in time and had you play the boss just after SR2.
@@JamesJJSMilton
Or could've rebooted the third and call it "Saints Row 3" with the old font, or Saints Row 4 and GOOH were actually gangstas in space sequels. There were so many ways they could've went.
Or just retcon 3, 4 and GoH as Perice's shitty movies.
It could of been if they actually cared about their own franchise.
Hilarious I legit forgot Saints Row 5 was coming out. The reveal proved it was going to suck so hard. All the fake/woke Twitter accounts saying they love the new direction have moved on just like us. Unless they change everything about the story and characters there’s no way this will sell.
i had the feeling it would be delayed, the footage they showed a while ago wasnt looking good at all imo
This guy is golden. Goes to suggest hiring a "CRINGE FARMER" from Alabama or some other rural Red state. Freaking golden. Wish every developer did this. Hire that "Cringe Farmer" to barometer every videogame release.
You want to save the game? Have an in game Kyle Rittenhouse mow down the main cast with an AR15.
the dislikes are the ones that always wanted to play as hipster kids instead of gangsters
They already have a hipster kids series. It's called Watchdogs.
Cancel the game at this point
Enjoy digging your grave Volition you earned your tombstone lol
Agreed!
All they have to do to guarantee success is making a game around Johnny Gat, but make sure his character has frosted tips.
This game makes gat out of hell look like a gangster game...
They made Watch Dogs 2 without the hacking, the urban environment, and very probably with worse gangs. What does that leave the game with beyond an open world and some basic character customization, like every other game has?
Despite how shit this game will be i disagree, Saints row customisation has always been faaaaar ahead of the competition (character creation anyways)
@@afh7170 Not since 3.
@@cjamesfort it's litterly the same in 4
@@afh7170 Exactly. 1 & 2 have great customization. 3 & 4 are par for open world games with the clothes, while the character creator is par with role playing games.
There was a major downgrade between 2 & 3, but there were also some sacrifices from 1 to 2 (jewelry, especially rings).
Should’ve given us a Saints Row 2 remastered with its multiplayer.
Or that extra delayed time should be used to give the Reboot a bloody multiplayer.
I remember there was an interview about Saints Row 2 and one of the developers had said there was content which was considered too crass during the time in development
Hardware Limitation.. i know feature from SR1 being Cut for the SR2.. but you see SR3 dude.. they cut a Lot of content they put into them with the reason... The game Cannot run above 20 FPS.. and even they wanted to cut a Lot more really sadddd.
@@YZY_Fox21 Saints Row 1 and 2 only had a horrible framerate when too many gangs and police were on screen the same thing happened with Destroy All Humans 1 and 2. Saints Row the thirds framerate was as bad as Destroy All Humans path of the furon
Good point about them knowing that most people dont like the new characters and the tone,
therefore Volition needing to mention that they wont be changed.
Wait they were shocked people didn't like garbage
13:06 BRO YOU DID THAT VOICE SO PERFECTLY
Honestly, I forgot saints row reboot was a thing until I saw your video.
Do you remember that SR2 mission "Bad Trip"? It ends with the Boss passing out on the floor, stoned off his ass.
I was sincerely hoping SR5 would start with the Boss waking up from that scene, and everything from SR3 to AoM was just a drug-fueled dream.
That or the Boss wakes up in a bath-tub somewhere just as Shaundi, Gat & Pierce break down the door and the exchange is like:
"Boss!? You alright?!"
"What the fuck?! Oh, oh yeah, I'm fine....remind me to never to shoot up bath salts again though."
Actually this is a really good idea.
And I was waiting desperately for Saints Row 2077, 76, or 2042, or whatever. The game industry never treated a gamer so badly. SO SAD.
I can respect one's convictions if they're genuine, even if they're terribly informed or simply against mine.
I cannot respect a company that intentionally tries to change their work to satisfy outrage. Because one way or another, the final product will not be something ANYONE really wants.
Honestly I don’t think delaying the game will save it tbh as first impressions matter a lot especially these days in gaming and pretty much everyone either hates the reboot or finds it bland and boring and the hype for the game is pretty much already dead at this point, not to mention volition fought with fans after the backlash making the situation much worse for themselves in the long run, in the end it’s sad and funny as a saints row fan watching volition starting to panic realising they can’t have another Agents of Mayhem again and have now dug themselves a hole to big to get out of.
Bro my thing is how they are treating us the fans, at this point they could make the best game ever made and I still wouldn't buy it out of spite
@@diffsnicker6570 the thing is they need this game to sell well or volition will pretty much go bankrupt hence why they are now trying to make sure this game sells well (which I doubt it will imo as nobody is interested in the game at all but only time will tell), another possible reason why they may have delayed the game tro from what some people believe is because of Elden Ring coming out around the same time SR Reboot was supposed to come out originally which I all can say about that is that they dodged one bullet by delaying the game.
@@MartinMorning2 that makes sense also stalker 2 is coming out around that time too very tough competition indeed
@@MartinMorning2 Nice comments which you drop man its true that not a whole million people can buy this game a lot of people will find another game to play instead of this 1 I don't know how the hell volition will save this game but man like everyone said volition just shoot themselves in the foot and will suffer more money lost then agent's of mayhem for sure.
@@reborn6h19 definitely, this is their last chance to make bank and so far it’s not going well at all for Volition, especially after they lied to the true fans with the graffiti wall thing and said their going back to the roots (which is never a good sign when devs say that, look what happened to dead rising 4) and also got mad that no one liked the game after the reveal trailer, honestly the saddest thing about this is I don’t think they can get out of the hole they dug themselves in and I think deep silver knows this too since they been trying to milk the game as much as they can.

I believe the “re-boot” should have started after saints row 2, call it saints row 3 and we already off to a good start.. saints row the third was the downfall of the series, 1 + 2 were unreal
Nah man most people feel sr3 was the best,only thing they did wrong was kill off gat. I think they should make sr5 but in the opening scene we see Pierce wakeing the boss up like "yo you was having a bad dream" and basically start where sr3 left off. Then all they would have to do is go on a mission to find jonny.

@@baizuo_6246 3 had better graphics,quality of life improvements and the story fit perfectly with the other 2 games as each sr game elevates the status of the boss\saints.

If you haven't played 1 I highly recommend it for the story if nothing else,its kinda like gta 3 no lead voice actor and cars only but you get to see the start of it all and it had an allstar voice cast wich honestly was probably the best of all the games.

Either a disagreement about the direction of the project, or Volition being forced to do something they *don't* want to do, or something else along these lines.

The best way to make the "Chess Club" not cringe, is to make them grow up, make them realize being a criminal is not fun and lol, something happends, and they got to act serious, being a criminal will let you Lose alot (like Mafia or GTA 4 told you)
They can grow up, they can give Kevin a fricking shirt, because "LoL KEVIN HAS NO SHIRT, Because random funny" is not a valid reason, if he had Alot of Tattoos like the Brotherhood, i would understand why, but he is more pale than a shaved Coconut.
Maaaan the lumps in their throats must be their noses if they were genuinely shocked at the reception. Rip volition
The reboot came out!!! Where you at? We need a video from you.
If Volition is surprised at fans balking at the kind of characters that Saints Row 1-4 was satirizing, they're beyond hope, and we can just consign another franchise to the graveyard. I've already buried Star Wars, Star Trek, and Terminator, this will be no problem.
To me, it would have to be completely 180 to me considering buying it. Yes, that means those characters would have to be gone and replaced with real Saints and the character creator would have to be rehauled to have the actual option to choose male or female. As it is now (yes I played with it for hours) you can't create a type of woman with it I want. So much of that "you can make the boss of your own anything you want" because you literally can't. It's just not possible to carve a woman and a man from the same tree. I might add that this wasn't a problem in previous games.
I want to punch someone whenever I hear them bring up that ridiculous Myamoto quote, between Duke Nukem Forever and Cyberpunk 2077 assuming that a videogame is eventually good just because it gets delayed is the biggest lie in the industry. If anything a game that gets stuck in development hell is less likely to impress than a rushed game, as by the time it's finally out it's unlikely that it's even developed by the same people let alone that they're motivated enough to see it through properly. Not to mention the tech behind it would have already aged significantly by then. Also, I'd remind you that some of the best games ever made were created in 2 years or less, case in point the GTA trilogy (the original one not the shitty remasters/remakes/whatever).
However, regardless of what his reasoning is I think delaying this game is probably the best decision Boone made in his life, even if the bar isn't exactly high.
extremely well done intro briefly showcasing what people can buy instead that’s arguably worth both their time and money while the reboot clearly isn’t worth either. it’ll die after its first game. i remember when cyberpunk got delayed 20 times because of a need for “quality and polish,” and we see just how much of that there was.
the modern industry convinced? forced? forced me to buy older, or retro, games; mainly the ones i enjoyed from my childhood, but i’ve bought other classics i’ve never played. the kids coming up will never know what an all around solid and not so greedy gaming industry that released quality games on release looks like.
Lets hope it keeps being delayed time and time again, but still, top notch quality your video sir, keep this up.
I love how their reason is to give the players some justice for the game, yet literally has bad come backs to every criticism they get and also says that they wont change anything while saying they will make a good game for people in the twitter posts lmao
You're absolutely right when you assert that they're "mildly editing" the story content during this delay. Which, funnily enough, actually makes me respect Volition even less than I did after seeing the new direction they were taking the Saints Row franchise. There's nothing I hold higher than artistic integrity, no matter how much I dislike said art. And so there's nothing I loathe more than wavering conviction. Especially when prompted by the almighty dollar.
Well i would say its just using constructive criticism dog if no one likes your art why would you make it

It would be better if they just remastered the original saints row and saints row 2. Change nothing about the stories. Keep the original sounds (radio and dialogue). I'm sure us nostalgic fans would buy a $40 remaster that included all dlcs. They could also with that make new dlcs about the core members of the saints. Maybe 2 hour to 5 hour prequel stories about gat, julius, DeX, lin, troy, pierce and Shaundie.
Idk just my ideas. Trying to erase what will be a bad reboot from my mind.
If I were to Reboot Saints Row the RIGHT Way, Make Jonathan Gat the Protagonist.
I'm not buying it cuz no johnny gat, peirce, and shaundi etc... I dont wanna here those excuses "it's a reboot they can do whatever" imagine rebooting halloween without Michael Myers or nightmare on elm street without freddy. You can reboot and keep some of the same characters that people love and introduce new ones. Completely changing the characters and slapping saints row as the title is very scummy and seen as a cash grab. We asked for a more gangster themed game like 1 and 2. Dont give me the excuse "gangsters are not a very popular thing in today's age" go look at a modern hip hop/rap video and look at the views and see what's in the videos. Hip hop is the biggest genere out there so to say it's a thing of the past is stupid. I'm alienated from the franchise that I once loved but now.. idc if it dies. I'm not buying the game idc how good the customization is... nostalgia makes money and it's not the saints row I grew up with. I love the 3rd street saints but not saints row.
Very well said! This is exactly how i feel with "Saints Row" and other unrelated games...*cough* _MetalSlug._
That cringe-o-meter idea is genius.
I also think they moved the release date from February 2022 to August 2022 because of all the better games that would outshine it also being released in February 2022 like Horizon Forbidden West and Destiny 2. They said that they're still keeping the characters and story.
PS - They don't care about broadening their views - they're trying to influence gamers to their own world view. I also don't think they care about the money lost if no one buys it - whoever told them to make their game woke has probably paid them enough money so they can afford to be snarky towards the fans who hate this reboot.
If this Flops and Worst than 3,4 and GoH probably Volition Will take another shortcut.. the only way is making Remastered For the SR1,and 2 if they're not.. The end of Volition Career is Near.
Freakin subbed. Damn fine video. You're really good at this man.
I wish they didn’t delay this game. The only real real way for Volition to get the message is for it to sputter and die.
makes me question if jim boon was even there working on the original saints row 1 and 2 games. he seems to not care at all about the shift the series has taken to the point it does not look like 1 and 2. i preferred 2 especially the start up music when you are on the title screen and the pause music.

Salute from Turkey!
my expectations for this game are literally sinking by the day 🥲
This is why I'm ignoring Saints Row 2022 and play Elden ring when that comes out in two and a half weeks
Me and my boyfriend played Saint Row The Third Remastered, of course it was truly fun and I enjoyed every single aspect of it and when i heard there was so much in Saints Row 2-- I want to switch over to that game to play.
I never seen the trailer of those games, so hearing there's a new Saint Row game coming out, I was thinking of getting it only to discover the trailer was boring to keep up and then looked at the old trailers. Comparing them together even made me dissapointed even if I am a new player-
Personally I think the sr3 remaster is appallingly bad, it removes or lacks content from the original and has a myriad of issues that were either not present in the first game, or are just unacceptable for a "Remaster" in my opinion. Which is a shame I wanted to play through a beefed up sr3 but next time I want to play I'll just have to see if theres a graphical overhaul mod for 3 which there likely is.
Anyways for saints row 2, I don't know what platform you were playing 3r on but if its pc then I do suggest picking it up next time its on sale because it goes for really cheap on steam and when the PC Re-release comes out all sr2 owners will get the free upgrade. Well thats if it ever comes out, its been 3-4 years since they announced they were working on it, and Mike Watson, The main guy working on it, died last year RIP. Ah and if you didn't know SR2's pc port is infamously broken but there are fixes. And the Re-release is supposed to add all the missing DLC thats currently defacto exclusive to console. And speaking of console if thats where you are playing the game on, the xbox is probably the best choice since it has back-compat with the newer consoles. Not sure what playstations situation with the game is
Man you completely hit your self an 10k very very soon my homie make sure you hit yourself to 9k and reach then 10k man congratulations you doing well Hexagon and for sure true the saints row 2022 got a an real issue of bugs but I don't think a lot of the people but I will say half will try this but not a lot of people will not buy this game from day 1 in August you will see half of saints row fans buy others nah but let's see in 6 months time what the game turns out to be👍🏿
How can a studio that thought this was a great idea to begin with have the capability to fix this. I'm picturing soyfaces and feminists trying to make a game that gives the same vibe as SR2 and I dont see it coming from these people. The game is cringe because the employees are cringe. They're making a game in their image, and sadly they think their consumers are all from the twitter bubble.
So many other things to be playing at the moment and Saints Row ain't one

after gta trilogy failed, this could be a good thing for the saints row reboot to not make the same mistakes.
The delaying of the game is probably the smartest move volition has done lately. The original release date was on the same day as when Elden Ring was going to release. If they woukd have stuck to that release date then the SR Reboot would have been SLAUGHTERED by Elden Ring in sales. NGL, I'm kind of disappointed that we won't get to see that bloodbath happen.

@@YZY_Fox21 the driving and car phyisics looks like the game Taxi, pre alpha or not these developers are bad and I dont think they will better it..
Not always. Streets of Rage 4 has a generic story, but the gameplay is great, and the soundtrack is AMAZING!
I think they destroyed this beloved franchise. Starting with saints row the third when they started moving away from what people loved. The only way to salvage this game is to start from scratch
@Pachakuti [パチャクテ] it only sold more because of the exposure sr2 got it. Sr2 wasn’t a famous release but it grew in fame over time. Only people who think of sr3 as the highlight of the series are people who only played 3. Real fans recognize it’s better even if they started on 3.
@Pachakuti [パチャクテ] it isn’t, just sold a lot on its release. All long time fans were disappointed. Only people who got what they wanted were people who just ent running and gunning and little story
@Pachakuti [パチャクテ] the biggest reason sr the third sold more is the marketing bro it had the best marketing out of all the sr games but let's not be delusional sr the third is trash story wise
This isn’t cringe to them. They actually think what they have is badass and wanted. I love Saints Row but it IS dead. It died the day SR3 was released.
