I just came across this story saying it's releasing on Game Pass

Xbox announces arrival of 12 new games, including Saints Row and F1 Manager 2022

Is this correct? Can't see it anywhere else yet.

it doesn't say gamepass anywhere, that's just a release schedule for Xbox games

I'm an idiot...ignore me !

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

what an awful OT name

 

[ReBurn]

Saints Row 1 had a Vsync toggle on the original 360

Not at launch. They patched it in. The screen tearing was awful before they added the toggle. Then you got to choose between screen tearing or unstable framerate.

Fuck all the modes idiocy.
Make 2 modes. 4k and 1440p. And offer vrr unlock for both. That’s it.
And all these modes idiocy makes developers shaft the 4k30 mode. No. It does not have to be so slow and laggy. Demons souls have 75ms more lag than 30fps bloodborne. That’s because demons souls 4k mode falls on ps5 system level lazy vsync.
And that’s how some 30fps games behave. Not all though. Uncharted or Astro are both good at 30fps

For this time I agree with you on that, especially if you "target" some FPS and pass it to a customer, to choose something which is either going to be blurry or in shitty framerate and absolve yourself from the guilt of shitty codebase. From videos I've seen this game runs like Saints 2 on X360.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

When’s the embargo for reviews?

This looks like it’s coming in hot.

 

[Arun1910]

Any Metacritic review speculations? I'm gonna go with 65.

Looks like hot shit to me unfortunately, was hoping for a step up in quality but nothing I've seen impresses me so far. Looks like old saints with a face-lift. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[RyuCookingSomeRice]

I was a huge fan of Saints Row, but its sad to see the writing on the wall and some in ignorance of that.

Remember Agents of Mayhem guys? Another recent Volition trash game.

We are far from the days of Saints Row 2 and three, or Red Faction Guerilla.

 

[PlayofSparta]

Yeah I had some hopes but after watching the ending jesus...
Only thread that are positive is from reee and I know why now

No that's just a generic "here's what's coming out this week" news release.

On topic:

Surprisingly, my copy has already shipped before the games actual release date, which is highly unusual. Normally I always have to wait a few days *after* release.

I'm honestly really surprised to see anyone pre ordering this.

I expected some new innovation to Saints after waiting so long but I can't see any.

Maybe of course you're fine with more of the same but I can see this in the bargain bin and/or game pass in a few months.

They dangle shiny fidelity 4k mode in your face but then you realize how laggy and broken slow it is compared to blurry mode .... yeah great choice

 

[wtftad]

A great looking OT, thanks for the work you put into making it!

It's a rental. I'm not going to put a full price down for this either lol. Or for most games coming soon for that matter.

 

[Ogbert]

This is going to be an absolute train wreck.

Can.

Not.

Wait.

If the game scores high: "Figures, paid reviews" and long rants about why they are wrong

If the game scores low: "I knew! Trash game!" and similar comments.

If the game scores high I'm going straight to Skill Up to learn the truth

This, but with wokeness also being the reason for both cases.

I just bought the old 360 game...
With Elisa Dushku.

Thanks for the excuse to google her and see what she looks like these days. She was born almost the same day and year as me.

Scores are mixed.

Lots of highs and lots of lows. Sitting at just under 70 average.

The pre-load is now downloading a 16 GB update.

Guessing that's the big day 1 patch.

Let's see how much it fixes

Nothing. Game is still buggy as hell.

If someone told me that this game was a 360 game, I'd be inclined to believe them. (no offense intended though, you did a decent job with the character creator)

You have big balls sir.

You have big balls sir.

Thank you for the gold but my balls are medium, perky and neatly parked beneath the shaft.

That's way more details that i needed.

Yo evilore, is there a way to revoke some gold?

Only thread that are positive is from reee and I know why now

Reee is hilarious, people directly quoting criticisms from reviews and then replying, "this is exactly what I want, can't wait!"

 

[lostinblue]

It's so people don't have time to cancel their pre-orders.

Well they can keep spending money on this dog shit but the majority always win out and this shit is fast getting on most peoples tits.

 

[The_Mike]

yea i do notice in certain games theres input delay when game on 30fps, im not sure why.

I havent played a 30 fps game that hasn't feel somewhat tanky.

The input is just too noticeable. (at least for me, but Im also heavy competitive)

 

[lh032]

i bought the game day 1 and received few days ago, now im waiting for several patches before jumping in lol
