Yeah, you’re probably right although it does kind of seem like they’re making it for fans of the second and third games since that’s what it resembles the most based on what I’ve seen of it. Those are my two favorite games in the series, I enjoyed the fourth game as well but it seemed more like a goofy spinoff than a true sequel.
I’ve been wanting another proper Saints Row game since the third one, and it looks like we’re finally getting it. My only real concern with it is its new cast of characters as they don’t look that appealing to me, but the game world and gameplay look good which are the most important aspects of an open world action game like this IMO.

Saints Row looks interesting - I think it & Gotham Knights are gonna be the 2 games I'm looking for deals on around or after BF.
Gotham Knights was the game that I was most interested in this year, but they decided to cancel the last gen console versions at the last minute despite it looking like a last gen game in every conceivable way. They claim that it became too technically advanced for last gen consoles, but I call BS on that based on what I’ve seen of the game. I think that they just wanted people to view it as a true current gen game instead of as a cross-gen one since cross-gen games have negative connotations associated with them. But no one is buying that it couldn’t have been on last gen consoles, it’s all marketing. Oh well, I guess that I won’t be able to play it until I get a PS5 which probably won’t be years from now when Grand Theft Auto VI comes out.
