Saints Row Reboot Trailer Gets More and More Popular
The debut trailer for Saints Row Reboot is going viral on YouTube, but fans don't seem to be very happy with the game's new direction.
The Saints Row reboot was heralded as one of the biggest announcements during the Gamescom Live Opening Ceremony. The trailer for the game shows a new gang of young characters trying to rule the title's new territory. While initial previews of the game were positive, fans reacted in exactly the opposite way.
If you look at the like-dislike ratio for any trailer upload on YouTube, it turns out that they are all pretty typical. The official download from the Saints Row YouTube channel has 14000 dislikes and over 11000 likes. The same goes for trailer downloads through the PlayStation and Xbox channels.
Many of the comments on the video show how people feel about the game. One YouTuber wrote: “I think the characters in this game are really saints as they look like they would never commit a crime in their lives.
Pretty much every social media platform is filled to the brim with gamers complaining about the new Saints Row and its change in tone. Everything from the lack of purple to the game's logo has been heavily criticized by fans. Other players began to criticize the art style of the game, claiming that it is similar to the last season of Fortnite.
Some YouTubers have also released videos of their own discussing why they didn't like the Saints Row trailer, with much of the criticism centered on the fact that the younger characters don't look like gangsters and that the tone has shifted from a serious gop stop to a softer approach. .
