The studio behind the ”beautifully stupid” Saints Row IV gives a quick glimpse into what goes on behind closed doors at Volition, like staff meetings discussing the merits of giant purple dildo bats. Tough day.
We get quick airtime with Senior Producer Jim Boone, Creative Director Steve Jaros, and Lighting Lead Chris Claflin. Saints Row IV brings a close to the series as it is.
Saints Row began life as a ‘proud’ clone of Grand Theft Auto that embraced just a little more of the silly, but then Saints Row 2 went even further into crazy town.
With Saints Row IV the studio just cut loose with all kinds of crazy fantastical ideas, with the game’s plot excusing practically anything as to why. It releases on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 August 20th in the US, 23rd in EU.
