Saints Row is all about customization

The new Saints Row‘s release date draws closer, and we’re learning more about the game. Last week, I got an extended look at the game, and I’ve had one big takeaway: Playing involves a hefty amount of customization menus. That’s not inherently a good or bad thing, and it’s in keeping with the rest of the series. The developers want you to know that you can customize everything.

To be clear, that wasn’t the only thing I saw of the game. I got to see a few quests in action, including an extended police chase — in which the Boss has to pause to gun down some presumptuous members of a rival gang, natch — and a mission with new homie Neenah. The devs also showed off the wingsuit gameplay. I’ll reiterate my previous reassurance that it looks just as Saints Row-wacky as ever. Neenah’s mission involves wrecking up a giant factory because a rival gang dinged her car, a typically Saint-like overreaction.
