[@ToastyBits]

I wonder if the clone idea from Saints Row Prime ended up turning into the Trouble with Clones dlc for Saints Row The Third. It depends on what happened first. Also, Gat Outta Hell had you recruiting some of hell's worst occupants, which is part of the idea for Prime where Johnny revives a bunch of humanity's greatest villains and figures.

[@majormercer21]

That's a good theory but no the trouble with clones DLC was actually hinting at Saints row Prime that's why the Narrator winks at the Camera at the end of the DLC because it was hinting to Saints row Prime but we didn't get anything from that sadly

The Moneyshot Pack for SR3 actually did have to do with Moneyshot, you originally were able to unlock items in Moneyshot that would be brought over to SR3 kinda like what other XBLA games were doing around the time, obviously Moneyshot's cancellation made them just release those items as a DLC instead so they weren't wasted.

Troy didn't go through all that undercover work to be mislabelled as troy bradstreet

[@mnemonicsix6331]

Saints row 1 and 2 just have such unique Style, that I haven’t seen in videos games since San Andreas. Every game in general afterwords have the most White Washed Worlds

[@zphyr6780]

I feel like if they really want to save the series they should bring back the undercover cop storyline. That would’ve worked so well for a Saints Row game and would’ve been perfect for the reboot instead the garbage we actually got

[@TheBl00D1u5t]

It would be interesting to go over cancelled projects from other franchises as well, like Final Fantasy or Assassins creed. I'm sure there are some other interesting gems out there.

[@Arrrash]

I absolutely loved the og saints row games

[@AliBazz]

No doubt!

[@TheVaultDweller33]

Why did they cancel the saints row undercover game that sounds like an amazing concept and a nice change but not the over the top changes we got with saints row the third and saints row IV ☹️

[@cyberredpandas1903]

Technically by completely rebooting the series they kept Gat Out Of Hell cannon.

[@Matt-md5yt]

Spooky thought

[@rayojordan2838]

Agents of mayhem is Direct reference to one of the options we got to choose in saints row 4 was to start the world over agents of mayhem the agents just being saints row members In a alternative world... gat out of hell was one of the options aswell.. Gat out if hell was supposed to be a dlc that turned into a full game.. But one can see that the game is short just like a dlc add on...

[@sinnersprayers]

@@rayojordan2838it's a stand alone dlc tho

[@inductivegrunt94]

I honestly would have loved to see Saints Row Undercover and Moneyshot made into proper games. The Saints Row series was one I enjoyed very much and I would have loved to see more games in the main Saints Row series.

[@tacticalcircumvention2889]

Just think: those weren't good enough to publish but agents of mayhem and the reboot were. Kill me.

[@0000song0000]

I honestly, honestly would LOVE if THQ did just a direct competition to EA's Sims, just the personalization they offered on Saints Row2 was MILES away from what EA's been doing with the Sims

[@SwiKeyMTC]

​​@@tacticalcircumvention2889HQ hasn't been a company in a while. At least not the THQ we knew.

[@SwiKeyMTC]

​@@tacticalcircumvention2889kind of unfair tbh, during that time they were in their prime and by the time AOM and the Definitive edition came out they were on the banks of collapse and had no choice but to release the games weather they were good or not.

[@Ilias24.]

For sure better then dogwater reboot

[@RND_Gaming]

Idk if it counts but I’ve also heard that agents of mayhem originally started as a saints row game being titled “Saints Row: Agents of mayhem” before shorting down to just “Agents of mayhem”

[@conradojavier7547]

Saints Row Prime would have been like a Saints Row's Snyder Cut or Rocky vs Drago, or Godfather Coda.

[@conradojavier7547]

The Cancelled SR3 DLC Morphed into Saints Row 4.

[@RokushoHasashi]

I love the first 3 Saints Row games. Saints Row The Fall, Undercover, Money Shot, and the Cooler would have been cool Saints Row games. The Cooler would of been a cool SR3 DLC. I never knew Saints Row had a Wii port 😮. Saints Row: Prime would of been cool and most likely better than the Saints Row Reboot 💯

[@TheItalianoAssassino]

I'm a massive Saints Row fan and had no idea there were so many games in development wtf 😂

[@vinegar4556]

Upon hearing about Prime's existence, I honestly felt a little sad that we might have had a chance at a proper SR4 that IV itself just did not provide... Uh... Prime honestly sounds like it would have been just as bad as IV from the story alone, so I suppose it isn't much of a loss.

[@chuckyzrevenge]

It would have probably been a little bit better than 4 only because a new mechanics

I hope one day we get another Gangsta Saints Row like 1 and 2, specially like 2 But without the shitty boss battles lmao

[@WhiteJarrah]

With a title like _Saints Row: Undercover,_ I can't help but think of the _Driver_ series given that in the first three games you play as an undercover cop.

[@gingeftw6556]

The original 2 games always get the most love but I did enjoy the 3rd even if they didn’t keep the tone or ruthlessness of the boss, so to of missed out on this one as the 4th is a shame. It coulda been the thing to add grit again even with the topic of cloning involved, like if the boss had any hope of stopping Gat he had to find a place in himself he hadn’t been to in a long time and in the process alienated some of the newer crew members who’d never seen them like that before. Maybe Gat coulda brought Carlos back just to torture him to death all over again for putting Ayisha in harms way and that’s what tips him into his old ways 🤷‍♂️😅

50 cent in a saints row game sounds alot like the game we actually got ''50 cent blood on the sand''

[@ProxyDoug]

Money Shot seems clearly inspired by the Wanted movie.

[@MiltonGagliardi]

I wish Volition took all they had from Undercover and made it a proper modern game, maybe taking some of the leftovers from SR Part Four (like the cover mechanics and parkour). It's a shame this will never happen.

[@Matt-md5yt]

Rocket sloth covering saints Row? It's weird but awesome.

[@JohnMaddenq]

they could drop the psp version when your the cop with more missions and bigger map for next gen boom company revived

[@blueface6069]

Money shot looks really cool. Wish we got it, and part 4 instead of what we got.

[@Biotear]

God damn I wish they had gone for the retcon thing instead of the full reboot. We could of had something actually good.

[@original__gmebvy]

The reboot is the retcon ending from Gat out of Hell. AOM is also part of this retcon, since the OG Saints crew became the one thing they despised, a law enforcement agency known as M.A.Y.H.E.M.

[@hellhound01]

The first saints row port for PS3 was also cancelled

[@paulcrow7642]

Saints row prime sounds so good

[@dbw.william991]

Saints row : undercover or the fall basically looks like it was cancelled because it looks way too similar to San Andreas especially when you aim to kill someone

[@ENNEN420]

[@ItsOscar]

Saints Row Undercover sounded like it had a lot of potential smh

[@Landser]

What I wish they would do is just go off from Saints Row 2, redo everything and make it right and better. And instead of making it some weird wacky alien world where the Boss or Playa becomes some president, make them like a gang leader and branch out to other cities with a good storyline and characters.

[@gamer07_]

In your previous Xbox vid you missed a bunch of games that were and are going to be big releases for the series X

[@jarontjones]

It’s sad that we will never get another Saints Row game. All they had to do with the reboot was go back the the saints roots and make a title akin to SR1 and SR2.

[@jamielama7716]

Rest in Peace Saints Row. 1 and 2 definitely needed to be rebooted.

This is random asf but they should lowkey make a saints row New York or Chicago or a sumn, use a big well known city with real gang culture and implement the saints and actually make the game closer to number 1 and 2 with better graphics n all that. Random though but I feel like it would slap

[@_SYDGAMING_]

TURN INTO MEGA MEGA MEGA Denji Sentai MEGARANGER. I know that theme anywhere

[@MrAdamFC]

With how rushed the reboot felt. I wonder if the original idea was to build off the cancelled Saints row prime given that information came out regarding Agents of Mayhem having a dedicated map/ mission editor and the team's emphasis on this being the '' Best and biggest saints row to date''. It would be curious to see how a shift in tone, engine and console ended up with the project being a glorified test map in the end.

[@valenityworld]

I actually have the unfinished build of Saints Row: Money Shot on my 360, don’t ask how, I just have it. The game is extremely unfinished (unfinished textures, unfinished maps, some maps aren’t even done causing it to load the first stage by default when trying to access unfinished stages)

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

Well, I don't regret that we didn't saw these games and they were cancelled. But what I regret 100% is 1. That Saints Row 1 were never released on any other platform, including PC, for everyone to enjoy and 2. That Saints Row 2 has very, VERY bad optimization on PC. Like, my PC should be more than enough to play Saints Row 2, with it's washed out and plastic graphics and mostly empty and bland open world, but in reality the port is so bad that, I can only make this game run good in the prologue of the game. But after that, FPS falls down from 60 to 30, and hen to 20, 15 and eventually to 5. And after that, game can just freeze and stop working. Like, come on! GTA San Andreas has more detailed world AND I can even put some mods that would make draw distance too far, and those that makes all objects load in distance very far and fast from the player, and it will work smooth. But then comes Saints Row 2 and shows me a middle finger. It ain't cool. And it is sad that the guy, who were trying to repair the game few years ago has passed away, cause I have been wanting to play this game for many years, and all I have is that crappy PC port that doesn't work properly. Well, at least I played Saints Row 3 and 4. Those were fun.

I don't know if Cleopatra deserves to be in the company of Stalin and Genghis Khan.

[@OtakunSenju]

Its just awful that they chose to make a dlc the fourt game in the series which began as the downfall to saints row because it pretty much killed the future to the origional saints row with its ending. Honestly it would have been way smarter to push saints row 4 as dlc as origionaly planned and wait out for a new game then compete with GTA which we all know had more popularity than saints row. I mean the hype that GTA V generated was massive when it was anounced back 2011.

[@cameronb7161]

I like the idea behind SR Prime more than what we got with SR 4. I know the fanbase would've still hated it because it was wacky and "not gangsta", but It sounded fun.

[@khingofswordz43]

My ideal "Saints Row 5" would be.....(Cut Scene)....a new "Player" protagonist would be watching a bad movie....(The Events Of Of 2022 Reboot). "Player" would shoot the tv set & start the storyline & game play from there. It would take place in Sunny "Miami" fictional version I would call it "Beach City". It would have all new Saints to connect with, 4 new gangs plus Swat.A ruthless Russian gang, a Black Gang, a Italian Mob - ish gang, a All Female Syndicate, & a British gang. New music, new customizations, new weapons, cars, safe houses & business rackets. New & returning side quests like Fight Club, Boat Drug Running, Street Races, Rival Business Sabotages, Swim & Water Ski Races, Drug & Weapons Running, Easter Eggs Hunts & Gang Recruiting. The music would be consistent of 80's 90's & Current variety mixes, including new talk radio. If we gonna do this then we gonna have to kill off all the old Saints & create new fresh non woke or hipster characters & bring in serious characters. It have funny moments but the game would return to it's hardcore gang element. 🍸🧊🍸🧊🍸🧊🍸

i just recently played through the series having not touched it in so many years and i gotta say.... i didnt want to stop playing the games, normally i play a game for a couple hours then swap to something else but no, i would play all day and not want to stop SR1 is easily the worst of the bunch, so much so i threw on cheats to get through it easier since its unforgiving if you die in missions, but still a fun time SR2 is where i did not want to stop playing, so good, however i did take a break after i beat it so i wouldnt get burnt out. SR3 i also didnt want to stop playing, my favorite i think in the series, but could swap with 2 depending on my mood SR4 while i enjoy the movement and gameplay, yes its not really a saints row game IMO but its still extremely fun and entertaining. i took another break after this one GooH, its...meh, short standalone DLC type thing for SR4 where you just do activities to get Satan mad, playing as Gat or Kinzie is awesome though havent played agents of mayhem or the reboot
