IMO, the only «Saints Row» about this trailer is the purple color and that bad guy. “Your” crew looks like straight out Watch_Dogs 2 or from that new Arkane Studios game, Bloodfall (or Redrain, can’t remember the name; that 4 player vampire hunting), ticking all the diversity boxes, but all having the same quirky personality. And personally, not a fan of that uwu helmet, not sure why that character wasn’t shot on site (this is the first thing i would do in a game).
I haven’t seen any gameplay yet, so i’ll wait for that. But first impression is bad. Personally, i was hoping that they’ll go back to Saints Row 2 setting/plot-wise (more dark, serious tone, but with some humor at least). I can’t imagine Volition pulling off another interesting character like Carlos [spoiler]and the killing him in a gruesome way and turning him into a zombie[/spoiler]. I don’t even think they’ll give you a lot of options with customization (like breast size and so on). Especially, if you take their recent track record into account. Saints Row IV was ok at best, but Gat Out Of Hell and Agents Of Mayhem were just terrible.
I sincerely hope i will be proven wrong when the game will be released.
