Zoraptor Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Dunno, I think the most that I get out of those SR trailers is that it's another game (or product in general) that would probably be significantly better received if it wasn't piggybacking a pre existing brand. You don't really get any sense that the game is as self aware as its predecessor either. GTA clones are inherently silly if you spend any time at all thinking about them and SR2-4 was pretty good at leaning into the stupidities of the genre. SR2 a bit less so but, well, septic tank missions... But, nobody liked SR3 just because the Deckers/ Morningstar/ Luchadores wore silly costumes and no one will like the gangs in the reboot just because they wear silly costumes, it's all the other stuff that made people enjoy SR3. And while those games were absolute replete with appalling stereotypes (and all the original games' Saints were appalling people by any objective measure) the appalling stereotypes were applied completely without fear or favour. Ironically, the new cast already seems to be made up of stereotypes, just without the self awareness. (I wouldn't want an out and out parody, SR4 went too far that direction as it is, but one of the big appeals of SR2-4 was that they were aware that the whole thing was inherently silly, in much the same way that a good Roger Moore Bond film knew the whole premise was kind of ridiculous but leant into that as an asset rather than a handicap) 2 hours ago, Mamoulian War said: Well, I completely lost my interest, when the lead developer told in interview, that the main character would be so likeable, you would love to invite them to your living room To be fair, that was clearly meant idiomatically- ie you'd invite them into your living room, by playing the game with them in it rather than literally have them over for a cup of tea and biscuits or whatever.

I'm still mad they didn't return that voice for SR4. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Keyrock Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 I used Spicy Latina voice in SR2, Russian Immigrant in SR3, and Southern Belle in SR4. The latter 2 were good voices, but they weren't nearly as good as Spicy Latina. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

I basically recreated my SR2 boss in SR3 (as much as possible given the different engine) and was annoyed I couldn't do the same in SR4. I wanted the same Boss who'd fought the Sons of Samedi in a super drug induced high (ending with falling over a couch) in Saints Row 2 and who sung along to "What I got" with Pierce in Saints Row 3 to be president in Saints Row 4.
