Game news Saints Row (2022): A GTA-like one with unlimited customization options
The flagship of the Volition studios is getting a facelift with an official remake in August 2021. This open-world action-adventure game, under a sober title Saints Row, traces the origins and future of North America’s craziest gang. Quickly presenting its concept and its specificities, this GTA-like remains silent on its customization options … in all its forms.
The Style Empire
The Saints Row franchise has always gone above and beyond to provide players with the most extensive and rich customization options possible, even if it means often falling into the big 100% assumed everything. Saints Row version 2022 pushes this playful dimension to its climax by striving for nothing more or less than “ultimate freedom”. Whether it’s weapons, clothing, avatars, gang members and vehicles, the title of Volition is brimming with creativity to speak to those of the most important interested… the players.
The adventure begins by creating an avatar. If it is possible to start with a preset to make your life easier, Saints Row strongly invites you to make the character editor yours and let go to create a Big Boss in your image (or not for that matter). Height, weight, morphology, face, skin, eyes, hair, teeth, prosthesis and of course gender… almost everything is customizable. Note that players are not forced to choose between a man and a woman, and can decide to give birth to a hero without a particular gender.
The style of your character, and your crew by extension, also depends on the outfits you dare to put on and according to Volition studios there is something for everyone. Artists have had a field day pushing sartorial eccentricities to the last limits of (good) taste. Everything is allowed or almost provided that you dare to stroll through the streets of Santo Ileso. You will have to make a choice between the hundreds (or more) of pants, tops, headwear, shoes and even underwear. Finally, a voice and various celebrations complete this personal and necessarily improbable desired style.
Gas, guns and home
Volition studios don’t seem to stop there and bring the point home by integrating more and more customization options for all things weapon, vehicle, and your habitat. To cross the districts of Santo Ileso at full speed, All types of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, boats, jet skis, etc.) are on sale and highly customizable to remember the great times of the Need for Speed franchise. We should also not forget the gameplay options with various ‘signature’ capabilities to evade law enforcement and this is just one example of many others.
Gunsmithing is unbeatable and lets the imagination of the “toad guerrillas” speak the gunpowder with art and manner.Dozens of firearms, but not only, enrich your gang’s arsenal, an arsenal to customize to gain power and complete your playful approach to Saints Row. It is indeed possible to change elements of weapons, switch between different materials and colors and even unlock ‘reference’ styles… like El Mariachi for Antonio Banderas fans.
All you have to do is house all these little people, your clothes, your vehicles and your weapons. To do this, Volition studios allow you to build and then furnish a headquarters (or HQ) to suit you. Symbolizing your rise and your control over the city, this place allows you to manage your newly created crime empire, buy concessions (14 in total) to start different businesses and manage your gang members. In a word like a hashtag, #BeYourOwnBoss.
Choose your destiny with Saints Row on August 23, 2022 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
