You can definitely tell that that was going to be an expansion for the third one. To me, this just reeks of a cash-grab, they most likely just put whatever was cut from Saints Row 3 to one big mix and turned it into a fourth Saints Row game.

I’m in two minds about it.
We already know that Saints Row 4 started off as a DLC pack for SR3, but when they realized how huge it was getting they decided it would be better to flesh it out into a full game instead. So yeah, in a way it is going to be stuff cut from SR3. I’m also worried how soon this is being released after SR3 – normally full games take much longer to develop.
On the other hand, we know that a big portion of development for SR3 was in building an entirely new graphics engine to replace the janky one from SR2; since they’re using the same engine for SR4 that’s likely to offset their development time considerably. And I honestly couldn’t say if I would be that bothered by it having content cut from SR3 – as long as it’s
new content and it’s made well how is that a problem?
I think it comes down to whether or not they put the same effort into fleshing out the characters and missions as they did in SR3. SR3 was a great game, and if they can nail the formula a second time then who can say that’s a bad thing?
