This actually looks like it brings up the insanity enough to make it interesting again. Loved 2 & 3. Hope to god that the Dead Island guys don't somehow poison it. :P
I don't know about you guys, but I've always thought that one of the downsides to being president of the United States is that you only ever get to wear boring-ass suits, and your public life basically has to be PG-rated and inoffensive eternally thereafter.
If I were president, I'd want a motherfucking Tron bike, and a hot dog costume, and the ability to surf on top of a limo in my skivvies, plus maybe bullet-time superpowers to fight UFOs, just because.
And now I'll get to do all that as the most gangsta chief executive ever, it looks like. In a game, anyway.

Am I the only one who is pissed of about the inclusion of superpowers but not having the ability to buy capes? Or Fireman helmets? This is just silly, the only superhero you can really imitate is the Flash which they included in the trailer.
I really hope they can manage to make a cape. It was silly enough that the trenchcoat from The Third was always going in and out of your legs. Functional capes aren´t impossible, Arkham games manage capes.

"The president has been kidnapped by aliens. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?"
"Bitch, I AM the president!"
Oh, I will so be looking forward to this one. The second & third Saints Row games kicked absolute ass, & I'm hoping this one will as well. Their greatest strength was their gradual ability to eschew reality in favor of pure fun...and where the third went off the chain, this one looks like its going to take that chain, piss on it, burn it, & then use it in some form of twisted prop comedy.
My only concern is the length...without any unique stories in the side missions or need to gain respect to unlock story missions, The Third felt a bit short, which was its only true flaw.
On the other hand, this looks like it has the potential for somenice parodies of games like inFamous & Prototype as well, so again, sign me up!
Also, props to the official promo image. Pure awesome right there.

@SlyDante777 It also felt nicer to build up a gang and customize it in the second one. Also when I tried to make my dude from saints 2 in the third it looked like all of his clothes were made of pajama material. Outside of that I enjoy the hell out this series. I can only hope I can make ridiculous policies and strong arm congress to pass them using gunfights and dildo swords.

@vangald @SlyDante777 I agree with you that the last game felt short compared to SR2 - that was its only real flaw. The whole political angle really could've been fleshed out more, but it looks like this'll take care of it.
Hopefully they'll figure out what the "canonical" ending of the last game was. I'm guessing it's the one which ended with the movie spoof.

... is it me, or was that faster than the usual turnaround for the series?
But who cares, since SR3 was one of the best games I've ever played. I'm glad that they managed to survive the THQ implosion.

@step5555 Yeah, the only thing I'm concerned with is I hope it's not just a complete redump of all the assets from the last game. Even Saints Row 2 beefed up Stilwater to have a more exploratory element. Either way, I'm glad the Saints are going to get another go.

@step5555 Well, the game originally began as a planned DLC pack for The Third called Enter the Dominatrix, where your character would become a superhero, but was cancelled once they had enough ideas to just build a whole-new game, I believe. Hence the insanity you see before you.

@SlyDante777 @step5555 I'd much rather pay for a full-priced, full-featured game anyway. What I saw of the DLC for the last game didn't interest me all that much.

@SlyDante777 @step5555 I can dig it. I am not fond of DLC too much for most games (with some exceptions). So I like the idea of either putting it all in the first or release a full sequel or expansion.
