New ‘Saints Row 4’ Trailer is Completely Absurd!

Saints Row has come a long way since its debut. Starting off as a GTA clone exclusive to the new (at the time) Xbox 360, the game evolved from a Rockstar wannabe and became more and more outrageous. And by outrageous, I mean becoming a gangster celebrity while beating rivals to death with farts in a jar and a giant dong called “The Penetrator” in the most recent title. Because nothing’s more gangsta than a fart in a jar.

It’s safe to say that the game doesn’t take itself too seriously. So it’s no surprise that the upcoming Saints Row 4 will feature some ridiculous new features. But after scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as weapons are concerned, (as seen by the above examples,) developer Volition will literally have to go out of this world.

As President of the United States, the Saints leader is abducted by aliens and must use his newfound super powers to defeat them. And yes, I did just type that. When powers won’t cut it, you could always resort to your inflating ray that makes enemies pop driving a bipedal mech, or just go to town with the Dubstep gun. No one can resist the power of Dubstep.

Think I’m making this up? Watch the newest trailer which walks us through these early features of the game. If this is where the game is at now, I can’t imagine how crazy the final build will be when it’s released on August 20th, practically going head to head with its initial inspiration in GTA V. But I think its safe to say that the Saints have “grown” enough to stand on their own.
