Saint’s Row the Third: “I don’t think we want to go back to sanity”
When we got the chance to get a word with Saint's Row the Third's Lead Designer Scott Phillips we asked him if there was any chance the Saint's Row franchise might ever become a little less over the top.
XG247( Sam Clay):Do you think Saint’s Row can never go back to sanity?
Scott Phillips: I don’t think we want to go back to sanity. Once you go insane, you’re insane, I think that’s perfectly fine and I’m glad that we have refined our direction enough with Saint’s Row the Third that we know what type of game we want to be making, I think with Saint’s Row 1&2 we kind of had an idea about where some of the gameplay was over the top but with Saint’s Row the Third, we wanted cohesion, we wanted the story and the gameplay and the art and the city to feel like one experience.
Just what we wanted to hear! Leave the normality to GTA, we love Saint's Row's approach to the sandbox genre and we wouldn't have them do it any other way.
