So why did Volition decide to completely reboot the franchise with Saints Row? During a preview event for the game’s story, Volition Creative Director Brian Traficante shed some light on why they decided to reboot the franchise, and the challenges that presented.
Traficante continued to elaborate on how the reboot will maintain the same DNA as the previous games, later stating that the game falls between Saints Row 2 and 3 in regards to how its humor and seriousness are balanced.
Approaching the new Saints Row game with all the things the previous games have done and what it has meant to people has really been a challenge. To make sure it is more than just a spiritual successor, to make sure it is a Saints Row game tried and true, that is the goal.
