Saint’s Row: future games will have “different direction”
Speaking with GameReactor Saint’s Row 4′s design director Scott Phillips explained the studio’s thought process when fleshing out the game.
“I remember telling people: ‘I don’t know how we’re going to top this. We’ve got a mission on Mars, we’ve got a heli-carrier, we’ve got zombies. Where do we go from here?’” he recalled.
“But everybody took a vacation, we came back, started fresh, and very quickly we came up with: ‘Well we’ve got to have… let’s do superpowers. It’s something we’ve always been talking about. Wouldn’t it be great to run as fast as a car, or jump over a building, or be able to pick up somebody with your mind and throw them across the city.’
“Things started snowballing from there. You know, fighting aliens came out of that because we needed an enemy that properly fights you, and then being the President felt like the next logical step from being a celebrity. So it all sort of came together. We definitely have a mentality of like: ‘Alright, we did that last time. We’ve got to that, plus one. We’ve got to do better than that this time.’”
As the team pushed the boat out when coming up with Saint’s Row 4 concepts, Phillips added that if there is to be a fifth game, the studio would have to re-appraise the format and head in a new direction, “We’re definitely considering Saints Row IV sort of the end of that saga of this character and the Saints as they are.
“So if there’s any more future Saints Rows – which you know we always hope there will be, we hope there’s fans for future games like that – they will probably continue in a different direction.”
Would you like to see a fifth Saint’s Row game? If so, what would you like to see from the project? Let us know below.

KatsumiTidesdawBDBTHE-ALLSTARDEVIL-248 I remember playing as a saints row gangster not a superhero for me the series ended when the showed the trailer for the 4th game. IMO
Same here, Saints Row 4 isnt Saints Row anymore...
Even Saints Row 3 isn't :/
Saints row 1 and 2 where pretty gangster. Then with the 3rd one they screwed everything up.
The third one wasn't too bad in my opinion. It gets a lot more hate then it deserves. Saints row 2 was better though.
number 2 was better however i think that 4 looks amazing

imgurItsXile I have never played a saints row game in my life. Maybe this will convince me too.
The games are silly, if you like that, you'll love the series.
how are they "silly"?. Just because they do not appeal to you does not mean that they are silly

Tinnie They need to go back to the "gang" days the games are just silly now. They use to have such a deep convincing story that was fun to play over and over. The new games are boring and dull
the whole gang thing was getting a bit boring to be honest. Im glad they did something new

Everyone is obviously entitled to their opinion and my opinion is similar to the majority of others - Saints row 1 & Saints row 2 were the best Saints row games. Saints row the third was just turning a brilliant game into a branch off prototype frankly, i didn't like prototype either, just leave the superpowers to the movies and go back to the gang era. The majority of people would prefer to be in gang wars than fly over buildings -_-.
