Saints Row developers on the initial revelation reaction

The next fila of Santos The volition video game is a restart with a new cast and stage, which is something that is known from the initial revelation. However, not everyone has been fans of this fact and the announcement was received with a non -insignificant negative reaction. As part of a recent interview, the developers of Volition, Kenzie Lindgren, an associate designer of UX, and Damien Allen, the main designer, offered an answer to the violent reaction, explaining that fila de Santos remains largely himself.

"It definitely still feels like Saints Row, even if they are not the same characters, even if it is not the same stage, even if it is not exactly the same as before, it feels like Saints Row," said Lindgren. He said eurogamer in the aforementioned interview. «I feel that every time I enter the game, either only customization (because customization is a large part), either traveling through the city, either with wings suits and doing the missions, it feels like Saints Row. And I think it is worth taking a look if you are an older player, but also for a newer player to discover that feeling for the first time ».

"I really think the feeling of the Saints Row franchise is alive and well," said Allen in the same interview. «If you are a veteran, if you played one or the four previous games, there will be something for you to enjoy, [be that] transverse mechanics, the new things we have added or a world that is more vibrant and unique than anything we have had in the past".

Based on our own preview of recent non -intervention of fila de Santos, it is difficult to say exactly how the video game is played, but it is incredibly clear that it shares the entire important DNA of the previous titles of Saints Row. If the general elements of Saints Row as a franchise are criminal companies carried out extravagantly and with extreme personalization amounts, it certainly seems to have implanted both thoroughly.

«I think there was always a part of me and maybe even other people in the study that they always knew that it was going to be a bit difficult at the beginning, because [Old] the saints will not return... I think that was always going to be Something controversial, ”added Lindgren in the same eurogamer interview. «It is a bit frustrating to see [initial reactions] when you know what you are doing and when we are not ready to reveal everything. And that can be something to happen a lot.
