They will allow the Saints to operate in the city, but they want a massive chunk of the profits in return. The Saints have moved onto new pastures, namely, the city of Steelport, which is run by a criminal outfit called the Syndicate, and its the Syndicate that acts as the big baddy. They’re criminals, but they’re rich and famous. The Saints Row gang has become a media-savvy enterprise, complete with PR, a branded energy drink, and dim-witted fans who’ll beg for autographs from the gangsters while being held hostage by said gangsters.
The Saints have moved on from their humble beginnings and the city of Stilwater is now a distant memory.
If you’re a stranger to Saints Row: The Third – perhaps your introduction to the Saints was in the fourth game – let me tell you why it’s such a fun, yet insane, game. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’ll save you a read and tell you straight: yes, it looks better, and yes, it runs better, and yes, it’s still a damn good game and you should buy it if you want to play it again. You just want to know if it looks pretty and runs better than it ever did on the PS3 and Xbox 360. If you’ve played Saints Row: The Third before, you already know what’s what. But does it hold a place in the here and now, in a world where Saints Row 4 exists? Saints Row: The Third is still grounded in some kind of actual reality, so there’s no leaping over buildings in a single bound, or running up the side of them for that matter. The fourth game gives you super-human abilities inside a matrix-like reality. It’s like playing an entirely different franchise. I’ve played the hell out of Saints Row 4 on PS4, and going back to Saints Row 3, remastered or not, is always going to be a weird downgrade. Now, it’s impossible not to compare Saints Row: The Third Remastered with Saints Row 4. It wasn’t trying to be a GTA-style game, it was its own thing.
Saints Row: The Third, marked a big turning point for Volition’s ambitions, and it was from here that Saints Row took on a life of its own. The first two games were, for the most part, straight-shooting open-world crime stories, though with a bit of silliness to set them apart from the franchise they were borrowing heavily from. The first two games really did try to go toe-to-toe with the Grand Theft Auto series.
Saints Row games are mental, but they weren’t always that way.
