Hopefully this will allow them to build a bigger (better) version of that boring brown Steelport and bring back some essentials like clothing layers, cribs that actually differentiate between another and activities like FUZZ and Crowd Control back.
So Saints Row 4 : Enter the Dominatrix? ...Sounds good to me.
But they need to step up their game, 'cause The Third was no where near as good as SR2.

As long as the Saints get to set-trip with thugs from beyond the stars, engage in drive-bys in Destroy! saucers and spray paint tag moons and planetoids after they escape from the Dominatrix as well as make ample use of their cloning technology pinched from the Morningstar,then I'll be all for rolling the expansion into a full semi-sequel game.
Maybe they'll get all of the zaniness out of their systems this way and move on to a more focused proper sequel later.

I enjoyed the heck out of Saints Row 3. I'll probably end up buying the next game at launch, matter of fact, instead of just renting them like I usually do. What the heck are they going to do story-wise, though?Have your avatar unwittingly responsible for unleashing Armageddon on whatever city you're in, and spend the game taking back neighborhoods from gangs of demons and dragons?
VOLITION!
Look at the 2nd game, it had the right amount of humor, content and tone.
AND BRING BACK THE SHIT THROWING TRUCK!

I never got around to buying SR3, I might purchase this however. I'd like to be able to get a taste for what the game is about without paying for the full game or getting a demo. More companies should do this, stand alone DLC that doesn't require the game to play it.
GAME OF 2013.
The Third was absolutely incredible and so smart about what it was. DON'T FUCK THIS UP THQ.

Crazy. Over the top. Nonsense. I want these things in Saints Row 4. Saints Row 3 had that awesome introduction missions, but sadly you had to wait till the 3rd and final act for it to really show the promise it had during the first 3 missions.
I enjoyed saints row 3 from what I played of it at my sisters house I have yet to get it myself I look forward to this it sounds fun
One one hand I was looking forward to seeing a real expansion for SR3 since the DLC packs have been very disappointing but on the other hand I'm not unhappy about a totally new game. I really hope they're able to recapture more of what made SR2 fun because for as "over-the-top" as SR3 got a lot of times it felt fake and like they were trying too hard.
Sorry Volition but no. You got me on the "fool me once" thing it won't happen again. IF it actually turns out to be a good game I'll wait for the GOTY or buy used.
I still prefer Saints Row. The characters and story were crazy but it was coherent and I actually cared. Story in SR3 was just there to be there. The bit of Saints Row 2 that was still grounded in some form of reality helped make those crazy moments shine.
Plus, it's a lot more fun to mess around with crazy weapons and tanks and stuff when you've earned them and they're a rare pleasure. Like in GTA Vice City where you have to bust into a military base to grab the attack heli or get a 6 star wanted level to grab a tank.
Within the first few missions of SR3, I've got a penthouse, guided missiles and an attack helicopter. And the tank is a mini mission I can do at any time.
Customization took a step back too.

Saint's Row 3 was a fun game, but the fact that it felt that 90% of the game was DLC made it an unacceptable excuse for a game. If Volition/THQ continues with this trend, consider me done with them.
Saints Row The Third was fun...but it did feel lacking. From clothing to car choices and even mission variety. They have a *SPOILER* zombie island built into the game after you progress so far. My friend and I had fun just running through there playing "survival" which was more fun than some of the missions and side missions provided at that point.
If Saints Row really wants to WOW people I think they should follow games like Infamous 2 and allow their players to create their own missions and share them. Expand the game a bit more that way. They did good by removing the traditional multiplayer, now they need to innovate. SR2 was great, put the SR3 polish on it and I'd still be playing it...
Sorry end rant, just played a bit of SR3 last night, had fun but mostly because I was just goofing off. I played the Gangstas in Space dlc again and really enjoyed the very first mission. Breaking into the base, the whole warzone feeling...I wish all missions were like that lol.

Come to think of it, if this is a sequel of any kind, they are going to have to either pick a canon ending of Saint's Row the Third or use an old save bonus to determine who lived or dies and what condition Steelport was left in as a starting point.
That makes this news even more interesting now.

While I liked SR3, I really missed a lot of what made SR2 the best. I certainly hope they can bring back the SR2 feel.
Your fans wanted a not shit game riddled with dlc that was obviously meant to be on there in the first place. Bought saints on launch day, but will likely not buy another saints row product after this.
"The Third was set to have "forty weeks" of downloadable content, a plan that I felt reduced the quality of the main game"
Ummm.... the fuck you talking about? I haven't bought any DLC for SR3 and I still got 50 highly-enjoyable hours out of it and definitely felt it was a quality game. If extra DLC can ADD to that, so much the better.

Saints Row the Third was one of my fave games this year.... I can't wait to see what they do with another sequel with Rubin at the helm..

It made it worse because it made it very obvious that a lot of the reason why SRTT felt lacking was because of them taking out content. Not to mention when you saw stuff like the Penthouse DLC releasing, it just made me cringe that this was the game supported such a travesty of a piece of DLC. Knowing that people were actually happily buying it.
I mean, I'm not one to criticize a game for taking content away from the full game as DLC because you usually don't know for sure, but I definitely felt that with SRTT. It added to SRTT's fake, soulless, style over substance vibe

The only DLC I got for SR3 was that awesome vehicle pack that came with the tank, VTOL, and armored car, and the Nyte Blade Pack
I bought the season pass for SR3 maybe a week after the game launched without a second thought. Won't be doing that again with this company. Kinda sad too, being such a fan of the original 2.
The reason the 3rd game was shorter then the 2nd one is because you didn't need any respect to do missions
Yay! Another sequel to Saint's Row that will incorporate the silly nature of the franchise. At least one more playful romp before things get for serious!
@SeymourDuncan17
You pretty much took the words right outta my mouth.
SRTT was a huge disappointment, Steelport was a shallow city and there was barley any content compared to SR2 (NO SOCKS WTF?!)
I hope SR4 will bring the fun back... in a different city too, Steelport sucked.

also dont make the activities missions in the beginning, such a waste of time and missions. bring back fight club(you know a reason to use that new hnad to hand fighting) also DONT make the enemies swarm so easily and get rid of the brutes.
more weapons, more vehicles, more activities, more clothing options. better city thats not bland and uninteresting to drive in. needs more diverse locations like mountains and valleys and so on. and just because something is over the top doesnt mean it needs dick and fart jokes every 5sec. you can be over the top with out all the flailing penises.

Hmmm, this could go either way. Either they have recognized a way to get back to making the game cool, or they are kicking off a new wave of "DLC turned into full-price sequels." Guess we'll see!
Tekbunny: the core game was awesome, however the massive DLC and lack of content made it feel lacking but still enjoyable.
SeymourDuncan17: No one is forcing you to buy the DLC, stop goinf on the HURR DURR DEEELLCEE IZ BAWD bandwaggon and think about your own investment
Actual comment: If Rubin is true to his word this expansion could be better than Saints Row 2

The whole dlc thing kind of pissed me off. Just give me a grand game where act 2 isn't about unlocking side activities.
""When it comes to Saints Row, it's clear our fans want bigger, better, and even more over the top..."
I always wondered if Jason Rubin had ever played Saints Row 2. Now I know he hasn't.

It was like having a high quality steak cooked a little too long and without any seasoning or side dishes. It wasn't terrible, but I knew I was being ripped off all the same.

I think Volition has kind of lost the direction entirely with this series.
SR1 and SR2 had a huge element of humor, but the game itself wasn't defined by it in the way 3 seemed to have. They still were grounded with bits of reality, the humor was the icing on the cake.
It just feels like Volition/THQ are trying to go full Troma with all this, rather than keeping it balanced out.

I'm not any sort of "bandwagon". I more than have a reason to hate certain DLC's. And again, I'm not usually the one to hate on DLC.
Capcom charging 3 (or more, I think) dollars for cheats in DR2:OTR (why are we now PAYING for CHEAT CODES!?!??!), those Penthouse babes for SRTT (that look like default customs with basic clothing), etc.
That kind of DLC is bad.
And I could also go into the gang clothing, ninja costumes and hot dog suits now being only available through buying them separately and how that's bad. Because we had those in SR1/2 on-disc. It's nuts.

I liked the third. The new engine was great. Combat felt fantastic. But THQ fucked us with the season pass and all the little dlcs. That wasn't good dlc. It was stripped out bullshit dlc and I feel sorry for those that actually bought it. I won't personally fall for it again (thqs dlc). I really hope this knocks it out the park. I've been jonesing to play 3 since my Xbox died. Refused to buy it at $60 again, since I bought the collector's edition, the guide (that hoverbike hnnng) and the season pass. Fuckers still $60 too.
