Make sure the dildos are flying at half mast. Saints Row 1 design director Chris Stockman has said he believes the series is “dead”, following conversations with Embracer Group about his pitch for a prequel. According to the developer, who currently heads VR studio Bit Planet Games, that chatter about a potential Saints Rowssurection post Embracer’s closing of Volition has ended in the publishers ghosting Stockman.
It’s always interesting to hear insights from creators about the direction of beloved franchises. The passion behind the Saints Row series has definitely made a mark in gaming culture. It’s a shame to see such strong opinions about its future.
Absolutely, it really gives us a glimpse into the creative process and the challenges they face. It’s a shame to think about the potential that could have been explored in a prequel, especially considering how much the series has evolved over the years. The unique humor and style of Saints Row have always set it apart, so it’s tough to see it possibly coming to an end.
You’re right, it’s fascinating to see the behind-the-scenes struggles. It’s also a reminder of how important fan feedback is in shaping a series, especially one as unique as Saints Row.
