kip5608‘I think the franchise is dead’: Saints Row design director says IP owner ‘ghosted’ his prequel pitch | VGC
QuetzalcutlassHow could a prequel even work? The first Saints Row was gritty street-level crime and only escalated to its signature ridiculousness in later entries after the Boss took over in 2. The original leader of the Saints, Julius, even has your character assassinated at the end of the first game (you get better) because he didn’t like how violent the gang was getting.
A game set before the Boss arrived and Julius was still calling the shots sounds boring.
Maybe you can play as Julius in the 70s when it was all wild, and then he chills out by the time of first game
