Out of curiosity, I also asked Loftus if there was anything partway through the game that we should anticipate, something unexpected. “I can’t talk about it just yet, but there’s a great piece of content that we haven’t shown off yet,” was his understandably vague reply. While Loftus couldn’t speak to the roadmap for the reboot as far as future DLC, patches, and updates, he did respond to the possibility of cross-play co-op: “We want as many people as possible to play Saints Row and that’s one of the ways to do it, so we’ll look to that in the future.” That said, co-op play is untethered two-player online, but only cross-gen. Enemies can be pretty tough even on the middle Entrepreneur difficulty setting, and being able to revive each other was the primary way we both got through the session fast enough to explore all the other side hustles and activities. One of the best parts of my hands-on session was playing the game in co-op with Paulmichael Contreras, a colleague at PlayStation LifeStyle. It’s unclear if you can change the costumes for Eli, Kevin, and Neenah individually, but at least there are options to make them look more badass than their default skins. I didn’t complete enough story-critical missions within the four hours to reach that point, but Loftus confirmed that you can alter the outfits for them and the rest of the Saints gang through Crew Customization. Since Saints Row 2, players could unlock the option for Gang Customization. If the issue was about how Eli, Kevin, and Neenah looked, perhaps there was a way to change it. We retain the criminal sandbox of what Saints Row has always been, which is gunplay, car chases, the wild moments.” Loftus also suggested that appearances aren’t everything when it comes to the new Saints: “I think maybe people respond perhaps to the look of the characters a certain way, but the actions you’re doing within the game are criminal. It’s a crew of criminals who are starting drug operations, using Chalupracabra taco trucks selling drugs all throughout the city. ![]() When asked about what he would say to those who are hesitant about the reboot, Loftus explained: “It’s all in how you look at it. I suggested in my preview that these roommates being naive and relatively untested is part of the origin story, a good opportunity for cool character arcs, but first impressions can be everything. #Interview i am gangster driverBut even then, many agree that the new crew members for the Saints - the driver with an art degree Neenah, the businessman with a bowtie Erik, and the always shirtless DJ Kevin - don’t seem like they’re badass commanders. Those who prefer the attitude of Saints Row 1 and 2 want the reboot to be closer to those games, whereas those who enjoyed the over-the-top craziness of Saints Row 3 and 4 don’t mind the direction of the reboot as much. He was a man, a human being like the rest of us.To put some context on what “not gangster enough” means, there’s a schism. He did some shit and he didn't do some shit. The stories I've heard of Pac from folks many of you have seen if you ever watched a music video or documentary of him, tell the tale of a man who was right down the middle. Why it always comes down to 2Pac being the realest dude alive or the softest dude alive all stems from misinformation and people wanting to paint him in a light they want him to be remembered by. He would be inspired by these things, he would build stories around them at times to fill in the gaps that he could not from his own experiences. Yeah he was a black panther and could connect to the urban community beautifully, but his entourage did a lot of the dirty work, lived the life and had the background that he talked about in a lot of his more "gangster" songs. I think if you want to be real about who he was as a person then you have to accept that not everything he did and told us about was the truth. He shot the cops because they initiated the altercation (read up on it), he was defending himself like any of us here would have done in that situation. Though he had court cases against him and didn't have the cleanest record, some of the things about him like shooting the two cops are over exaggerated. It's not a matter of extremes that most people like to put it when talking about Pac. u/SFThirdStrike is right in which he says that most people say it just to shit on him, and that is a crime. ![]() In time the aspects of his life that were fake became apart of who he as he began to act these things out rather than just say them. He gave people what they wanted to hear and see then watched them eat it up. ![]()
