As transcribed by VGC, this is what Wingefors needed to say on the sport’s preliminary reception:
Personally, I had hoped for a higher reception to the sport […] It’s been very polarising. There are a whole lot of issues that might be mentioned intimately round it, however I’m with one hand blissful to see a lot of avid gamers and followers blissful, and on the similar time I’m a bit unhappy to additionally see followers not blissful, so it’s troublesome.
The corporate CEO was additionally fast to deal with the way forward for the franchise. Whereas it appears like no choices have been made simply but on what’s subsequent for Saints Row, the IP’s future does appear somewhat unsure.
I feel we have to watch for the quarterly report in November to have extra particulars round this […] We’re nonetheless pretty early in our launch window and nonetheless gathering knowledge, and there’s additionally bug fixing and extra content material coming.
Clearly you at all times need each instalment of any IP to be higher than the final one […] And what you do is, that is fairly a course of to judge your place, the result, and there are tons of of individuals engaged on this sport inside the group, so I nonetheless have a terrific belief in these individuals and I’m positive they are going to suggest issues for the long run.
For now, it is wanting like Saints Row is secure, at the very least till the earnings stories are available in. Embracer clearly nonetheless believes that developer Volition can ship on the IP in future, and we too hope the collection can discover its toes once more with one other instalment.
