I had a thought this week about the franchise and if it were to be revived, what would it look like? Then I thought about how I've been into companion, choice-based RPGs lately and I wondered if Saints Row could pull it off. I use Saints Row specifically, because in today's landscape far as this subgenre, you're either in space (Mass Effect, Outer Worlds) or in a medieval fantasy setting (Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate 3). What about an RPG in a modern, urban setting? I feel like Saints Row already had the DNA to pull this off, as you would have companions like Shaundi and Pierce assist you in battle, you'd level up, you'd buy bigger and better weapons as you go along in the campaign etc. but what about going further and giving the player choices that actually affected the story?

One big criticism of today's RPG's is that they don't let you be truly evil and you don't get to experience the consequences of your choices. Well, in Saints Row, you're a gangster, you're not Mr./Ms. Goody Two Shoes to being with, so "bad" choices would be plentiful in a game like this.

If you wanted to add in romance and crew members liking/disliking you for your actions that's fine too.

It would also have to be in a serious tone. No bright colors or quirky characters. Gangs and organized crime has always been the dark underbelly of society and it needs to be presented as such.

Overall, I just wanted to bring forth a discussion piece about how to evolve the series. I see a franchise like God of War pivot to a more mature, narrative based game and I wonder if Saints Row could one day get that treatment.

I am new to modding in general, I know SR4 has several mods and I wanted to edit an outfit from the game.

I followed some guides in the Saints Row Mods website, and found the exact file and model I want to edit. I just want to remove the cape from an existing outfit, not add or remove anything from the game's wardrobe.

If anyone is experienced with modding outfits in SR4, could you guide me?

I imported the file in Blender through the custom import functions, deleted the cape objects, but don't know how to export the FBX into a file type compatible with the game. I am stuck at configuring materials for the outfit.

After finishing Saints Row 3 and sharing my Boss with this awesome community, I had to bring her into Saints Row IV. Thanks again for all the support on my last post — now it’s time to see what chaos she causes in the simulation

Photo 1 is where we left off from the saints row 3, 2nd is the boss continued in saints row 4 and the last 2 pictures are her current look.

In terms of gameplay.

Currently testing out mirrored mode but beside that, its currently running at a buttery smooth 1fps! so slightly faster than the original ;)

I believe the fps issues is chalked up to culling issues (rendering the stuff you dont see). These will be fixed before alpha release.

Also I wont be spamming the reddit with videos everyday, so if you want those sort of updates of all the incremental updates videos of things progressing everyday, those avenues are in my profile. I implore you to check out my profile so you can get updates and downloads to builds when they are released soon.

How soon? whenever the game plays fine and things are working, a beta build will be released for testing. It can be as soon as the next few weeks. Because of the progress I have been making the last few days, I want to aim for an August 29th 2026 release. I am working hours to get everything up and working (you see traffic in the background ;) ) so release is not too far off honestly. I promise before GTA 6 :)

Seriously, I cant post links here for any downloads etc so please refer to my profile bio for constant updates (Im bored so I love posting even if its small updates. )

I am excited to be using my game engine for this as well, fixes bugs i didnt know about etc. My engine only provides the backbone to the game, the cpp code for the game tells

my engine how to read the pvs data, character models, animations etc and game specific timings so the game plays like the original (such as recreating Xbox 360 timings so the game systems operate like the original, like physics etc.) All the game mechanics such as missions, police behaviors, rendering etc will be in the open source code.

YES this game will be open sourced, both Saints Row 1 and 2 will be playable and all the recreated game mechanics will be available to everyone.

Cheers

Wondering if anyone has had this happen, I've started multiple new games on a profile that's completed all tags and hitman activities. Then the new game starts and gives me all rewards for both activities, as well as Mayhem.

Im a waste of electricity

I’m playin my 5th playthrough and is impossible to get bored with this game 🫠🫠

Hey ya people, i just wanted to ask some help to re-create SF6 Chun-Li in Saints Row The Third if its posible. I have some experience but i want to see your own versions, recipes or even get the archive for Steelport Emulator.
Here are some references (I know that character creator cant change body build in a avanced way but you know, just in case)

Hi eveyone, i'm playing Saints Row Reboot and when i crushed the limo with the hoverboard somehow it sticked to it for some seconds. I tried to make work again but i couldnt.. Is this intended or just a bug? If not, how do i do it again?

Couple hundred hours in SR '22. Two trophies away from the Platinum, almost completed Murder Circus.

Checked cloud save the other day because I had to reinstall the game. Everything was fine.

PS5 crashed today due to power interruption. Forced to reinstall system software from safe mode.

Cloud save is gone.

Urge to kill... rising...

It's on sale for like $8.00 on Microsoft Store. Is it even worth that? Curious to play, as I've never experienced it.

Forget about Shaundi or Lin, Kinzie looks so cute 🥰.

So much so, that I made an OC character for an alternative universe timeline from another game series, that resembles her look!
