Saints Row 4 Gameplay Trailer: Different From Grant Theft Auto? [VIDEO] Rumors Suggest Volition Game Different From Rockstar Car-Stealing Saga
Saints Row 4 will have a different gameplay style from Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto saga, suggests Game Front, citing the games newest capabilities.
Watch a video of the trailer here:
"The preview confirms that Saints Row 4 is letting the wheels fly off the Grand Theft Auto car entirely, perhaps finally establishing itself as a distinct experience from Rockstar's similar car-stealing open-world title," the website writes.
"Not necessarily by bringing anything new to the table, mind you, (though there is one bona fide new element I hope everyone else copies), but via adoption of an "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to humor, gameplay and story that tops even the slap-happy approach of Saints Row 3."
Saints Row 4 is infused with capabilities that allow users to kill enemies in the game using tactics unheard of before, including aiming a weapon at someone that will eventually make their head explode.
Volition will release the game on August 20 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The developer has not announced changes for next-generation consoles Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
"But in the month and a half since my first hands-on with Saints Row 4, I was able to play it on the floor at E3 2013 and I've now spent several days with the preview build," writes a reporter for Game Front.
"As a result, I've reevaluated some of what looked to me at the time like flaws, and I'm largely expecting it to be as fun and replayable as its predecessors."
