I get the sense that Volition wants to keep telling over-the-top, funny stories while leaving its mean streak behind. What I've seen so far more-or-less tracks with this. We had a different kind of story that we wanted to tell.' But that tone is not something that we feel like we want to do today. 'They made sense within that era, and we were able to do things that felt good back then. 'We love, but we also recognize those are games of a time,' he said.

Without getting specific about the series' past, studio development director Jim Boone said the Saints Row reboot will bring the series into the 2020's. Between memorable setpieces and lovable characters were moments of casual sexism and homophobia within its main cast and beyond-the sort of stuff that I breezed by in all media when I was a dumb 15-year-old. I remember laughing often at Saints Row The Third when I played it 10 years(!) ago, but it took some googling to remember just how embarrassingly edgy its writing was. What's probably not returning is the exact tone of humor that players might remember from Saints Row 3 and 4. It sounds like players will be busy with all those minigames, but Volition confirmed that some popular side activities from past games will make a return through opening businesses, like the ragdoll punishment minigame Insurance Fraud. I got the sense that these optional businesses will rake in extra money automatically, but you can also help out by operating businesses yourself (like delivering drugs in a food truck).

Volition showed off a few examples, including a food truck dispatch that also peddles drugs, arms dealers, car repo shops, nightclubs, and laundromats. As you grow the new Saints crew (company?), vacant lots across Santo Ileso can be purchased and turned into crooked businesses.
