What if Carlos was assigned with dealing with the Ronins, Shaundi with the Brotherhood, and Pierce with the Samedi? Gat still plays the same role in the Ronin arc.

What would change for each gang's arc?

Who would or wouldn't die?

WIP gameplay of PC Saints Row 2006

I think the joys of game development is all the wacky bugs you need to fix. One thing I accidently included was during player creation, the idle animation plays +blinking which I do like.

Yes I am aware of the FPS issues, I see it clearly, obviously the levels are not loading absolutely correctly and the subsystems need to be tweaked such the PVS system not taking so long.

The game is finished, its just going through and getting all the animations to work cleanly, the PEG textures to decode 100% and lighting to fully render correctly. Most of the FPS issues you are seeing are ongoing optimizations of how the engine renders the level every frame etc. Those are being corrected as we speak.

At this point, its mostly submodule tweaking and engine tweaking to make sure I meet my strict minimum fps of 60 at all times with frame times steady.

I know I said a few weeks for gameplay but I wanna show some under the hood of the game actually running natively on PC.

Cutscenes will be fixed, fps will be fixed, skips will be fixed etc.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica

Resident Evil Veronica will come out next year. Anyone here feeling nostalgic about Resident Evil: Code Veronica?

Theory: saints row and red faction do take place in the same universe, but the red faction games are in the timeline where the boss goes after killbane in sr3.

I know the devs have alleged that the references are just easter eggs and all, I don't care. The timeline adds up if you look at how things play out in the alt timeline. We know that in the timeline where the boss goes after killbane, earth does not get destroyed during the zin invasion, because of the enter the dominatrix DLC, because the saints defeated the Zin absurdly easily, and somehow Shaundi returned.

Beyond that we don't have any clear info on what happened next, but we do know that during SR2 ultor was already working on going to the moon, so it's reasonable to assume that about 20 years later, they were already there, maybe setting up, maybe already doing mining (I don't know how fast their tech allows them to make progress there).

Meanwhile, after the Zin invasion and the events of the dominatrix, the saints now have some space traveling technology, and a reason to prepare for more alien invasions, so they take it upon themselves to protect the world from extraterrestrial threats, and eventually rebrand themselves to earth defense force.

Saints Row 4's plot should have been Independence Day but with the Playa as the president.

Imagine the gameplay loop similar to SR1 and SR2 but with Playa as the President, personally leading humanity's resistance against the alien Zin Empire. The new gangs are led by people who pledge allegiance to Zinyak in exchange for vassalhood in his Empire. Your litunents are the survivor members of your government, each of them tasked with dealing with one of the gangs. Your cribs are no longer just for status and power but also the last bastions of human resistance. Imagine your character giving the franchises' iconic "It's Our Time Now" not as a gang leader but as humanity's last hope, broadcast to all human resistance and survivors. Saints Row series is about a power fantasy, and what could be a better fantasy than being the POTUS and actually helping humanity.

Instead in the actual game, your role as POTUS is just the prologue and then the Earth blows up. The rest of the game takes place in a lamer VR version of Steelport (I actually really like Steelport in SR3).
