The Saints Row series has always been a little bit psychotic and a little bit crazy but this latest trailer has me wondering if the developers behind it have finally jumped the shark as Saints Row 4 now appears to have you playing as the president of America and fighting an alien invasion.
It’s all a little silly and while I hope it’s going to be a great time I can’t help but feel wary of the new direction the series is taking.
In all honesty it actually reminds me a little of Far Cry 3’s Blood Dragon DLC which was also incredibly crazy but that was marketed as a bit of a joke.. this is a multi-million dollar franchise and are there enough people out there willing to pay full price for something this insane?
I’m sure we’ll see more information about this title at E3 and will obviously bring you more information then.. but for now what do you think?
It’s worth noting this will be the first non-THQ Saints Row to be released…

To quote the writers from “SUPERNATURAL”: “it is only considered jumping the shark when you come down again.”

After the last Saints Row had Burt Reynolds as the mayor, it can only go upwards, playing as the President of the US of A woot 🙂

Also, Blood Dragon wasn’t full price, it was 30% of full price.

This looks stupid. Of course, after buying SR3 and playing it for about 15 minutes I felt as though it was money poorly spent. So maybe SR fans will like this. I ain’t one of them. This looks dumb. I apologize to those whom I’ve offended.
