Today Deep Silver and Volition released an in-game walkthrough from the pre-alpha version of Saints Row IV based on the demo shown during the latest PAX East.

Senior Producer Jim Boone from Volition will lead you through the urban chaos of virtual Steelport. In the upcoming Saints Row IV for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC, not only will you greet your citizens as President of the USA with friendly... punches, but you'll also have some mind-boggling weapons will also be at your disposal. Make your people dance to the funky beats of your Dubstep Gun and literally kill them with music! Weapons now not only can be upgraded; this time you will be also able to change their looks.
In Saints Row IV you will encounter enemies that are certainly...out of this world! Blast them to pieces... either with your super Mech... or your superpowers!


Saints Row IV launches August 20th, 2013 across North and Latin America and August 23rd worldwide.

In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. Wield gargantuan superpowers and fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak’s mental grasp. Escape the simulation that’s trapped the Saints crew, or die trying. Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. Utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet.

So, I wasn't big into any of these, but best I understand they dropped the ball with 3. This look like it will redeem it?

Don't know why the article doesn't have the video along with it. It was there when I created it.

I saw Mike Diva and Corridor Digital going back and forth about them ripping off Dubstep Guns.

Can I just say that Saint's Row IV has actually been really awesome and tons of fun, for reasons I don't want to spoil.  I haven't finished it yet, but I will soon and have a review up by the August 14th embargo date.

 

Without going into too much detail, it is pretty different from the previous games, as they are going more into the wacky direction started in 3 (and to a smaller extent in 2), but there are just so many awesome things in it, and great references and humor.

 

To be honest I think SR2 had the best balance of awesome/serious and wacky/fun.  SR1 tried to be super serious with some humor (kind of like GTA IV), but 2 got a bit more tongue-in-cheek while still being badass.  3 was a departure into the over-the-top silliness territory.  It was cool, but just started getting more and more out there.  Good, crazy fun, but not quite as much like the Saints Row of old anymore.  IV kind of takes that further.
