gameplay gives me sunset overdrive vibe

[AnimeHDFights]

black guy looks like a mix between the demoman from tf2 and tyreese from TWD

[Avenger]

I really wish this game wasn't made with a roster of characters. Character customization like SR with the ability to choose your primary ability would've been really cool. Still interested in seeing more though. The game looks good.

Overwatch+Crackdown+Saints Row=Agents of Mayhem...will play.

[roseloveslove]

I really wanted a saints row 5 game :(
And im kinda sad that they're moving on from the street gang part of the saints row universe.

[kyrridas]

"you can create an AoE field that slows down enemies caught inside...or you can fire a cannonball that kills them all" gee...i wonder which upgrade everyone is going to pick

[Gyrbae]

This is the first time since 2011 Volition has made a new map.

[xxstormxx]

If they dont make a good Saints Row game, this will break my heart more than my ex.

[DragonBallNationYTC]

"There's visual customization as well." *shows color swap*

[SOBEKCrocodileGod]

The environment and world look a lot better than the one from Saints Row 3 and 4 and I hear that there will be unique districts just like SR2

[TheArklyte]

So it's following the ending of Gat out of Hell dlc, where Earth is "reset"?

[InjusticeJosh]

Make saints row 3 backwards compatible

[ydaf]

um talk about a major overhaul, maybe I'll try it when it comes out. Really sad we're not getting a sr5 though.

[saintbooker]

No co-op and no character customization? Those were the things that made me love Saints Row. What the hell happened?

[shoteb]

So disappointing we could've had a Saints Row V

[werwer]

So is this an open world hero shooter? If so I'll need to see more before I can make an official judgement. As of this moment I'm not sure about the content of the game and whether it will actually be fun.

[JustAnotherLee]

You can certainly tell its a game made by the same people that bought us Saints Row so I'm interested just because of that, I'm also getting a little Crackdown Vibe.

Hoping to see some cool Saints Row refrences and maybe even surprise visit from Johnny or something :P

The crest on his chest looks like the Saints' Fleur de Lis

[SKy_the_Thunder]

"The Ministry of Pride, one of Legion's seven subsets..."
I see what you did there...

[SAITO]

so basically this is overwatch in a different packaging
