No, not really - although that was the original plan - just put them in charge of the entire nation, give them Dubstep weapons, mechs, superpowers and.
Give the 3rd Street Saints a dragon to fly. So, with THQ gone, and Deep Silver now picking up the publishing reins for developer Volition, how does Saints Row 4 raise the bar from having Burt Reynolds on speed dial, a dildo bat weapon and singing zombies? It's simple. Saints Row: The Third successfully managed to redefine the franchise and carve out a niche in the sandbox arena by offering, extreme and over-the-top visuals and gameplay scenarios, with the primary focus being simply on crazy fun and just plain crazy. And you can do it with your character from 'Saints Row: The Third'. Yeah, an indie developer could just shove a box in a closet somewhere and call it a day but Microsoft and Sony don't let you do that (or didn't, at least).There are no dragons unfortunately, but in 'Saints Row 4' the president of the United States (you) will have to fight UFOs. Whereas if they actually have to have a colocated server somewhere running this thing, the baseline overhead for keeping the server up and running would be much more significant. If this was set up as a properly run AWS or Google Compute instance, then if it was only being used by a few players than the actual usage bill would come out to a rounding error. I think the videogame industry's relatively slow uptake on cloud technology is going to hurt games, especially from the last generation. I suspect that is still true today but it matters a lot less since Microsoft has rolled out Azure servers specifically for use on Xbox Live. Click to shrink.I don't have specifics, but Microsoft was rather strict in regards to what external servers were allowed to be connected to Xbox Live, which added significant overhead (in regards to the hardware used, datacenters where servers could be hosted, and so on).
