Saints Row is now available for Windows via the
Epic Games Store
and for consoles, offering the latest installment in the open-world action
series. If you missed it, we
posted a roundup of
reviews yesterday. The
live
action launch trailer is an interesting choice, given the loose relationship
the series has always had with reality. So you know how the Fast and Furious
series is said to be all about family? Turns out Saints Row is all about
community:
Because really, beyond the cash, guns, cash, pimped-out rides,
and cash, the Saints are really about one thing: community. This generation of
Saints is no different. Will they blast the city with bazooka-fueled chaos and
hijack your car straight from gliding in a wingsuit? Sure, but they do it with
love. Of course, this is nothing new to the folks living in Santo Ileso.
Help Santo Ileso keep it weird with the game’s Boss Factory character creation
suite. As one of the most robust character creators in gaming, Boss Factory
pushes players to experiment with every part of your Boss, expressing themselves
as they truly want to be seen. If you want to ditch the cowboy getup and go for
something a bit more classy, say, a purple suit or a head-to-toe coat of gold
spray paint, it can be done anytime, anywhere. Smash that customization button
and take total design control of the new Saints HQ and the gang themselves.
Dress up your gangsters, decide what they ride, and trick out your pad. You’re
the boss, and what you say
goes.
