Oh, I'll grab this game, but certainly not anywhere near launch price. The fact that right now you can get SR3 (which is less than two years old) for $1 on PC or free with Playstation Plus makes anyone willing to spend $60 on the next game look a little foolish. I'm still kicking myself for buying SR3 when it came out on Steam for $35 (and then finding out it ran at a terrible, unplayable frame rate on my PC).

I agree.

I loved SR3...one of maybe 7 or 8 games I platinum'ed on PS3.

And this looks pretty cool, but I still can't picture paying full price or anywhere close for it.

This is getting really good pre-release buzz. Reviewers were apparently sent copies over a week ago, with the embargo lifting well ahead of release (a sign of confidence on the part of the publisher).

I want to play the hell out of this on day one. That doesn't make me foolish.

Make Your Own President In Saints Row IV's Inauguration Station

Hello there, Mr. President Smurf. Are you ready to become the leader of the free world when Saints Row IV launches on August 20? Of course you aren't. Not until you've been through the Inauguration Station.

Available today for the Xbox 360 and PC through Steam and August 13 on PlayStation 3, the Inauguration Station gives players early access to Saints Row IV's ridiculously deep character creation system. It's seriously stupid how much you can do with it, so getting a head-start is highly recommended.

You can even download your character from Saints Row III and polish it up for the fourth installment, should you choose.

That's awesome that we can import our characters, I really didn't want to start over. Maybe I'll mess around with this later.

Someone made a Walter White character

Did not see a Darth Maul or Judge Dredd yet...

Better hurry if you want this (and have a million dollars burning a hole in your pocket). Only one Super Dangerous Wad Wad Edition available!

I notice it says "New Toyota Prius", but doesn't specify the Lambo is new.

I was tempted to pre-order this for the 4th time...

no next gen = wait for super deal on Steam.

A million bucks, and the gun doesn't even work?!?!?

Embargo is up. 9/10 from Polygon: http://www.polygon.com/game/saints-row-4/9218

IGN – 7.3/10
Joystiq – 5/5
Game Informer – 8.5/10
CVG – 8/10
PCGN – 9/10
PlayStation Official Magazine UK – 6/10

For size:

Looks like something I will pick up sooner rather than later.

Yeah I want it.

Dtoid : 9.5

Yep, pre-ordered on Steam for $45

And no... I haven't finished any of the previous 3 games.... love sandboxing!

I finished 2 and 3 but haven't touched the DLC yet. I actually like 2 in some ways more than 3. Both great games for this gen and have changed my way of looking at sandbox games is gonna be hard to go back to GTA 4 and 5.

7.3 is lower than I expected from IGN but ill still be picking it up.

Out today, yo (8/20).

It's here!

It's gonna be a long wait 'til the price drop (and hoping they do special edition like SR3).
