The latest game in the Saints Row franchise was certainly not the best, especially since it was not a sequel, and it toned down much of the fun of the other games, among other things the community had issues with.
Now an Update for the game has been announced and looking at the list, it seems like it really is looking to fix most of these problems, HUD/UI combat changes, New features, Feature enhancements, several fixes, and more.
Here are a few points from the list:
- Enemies will no longer wait to engage the player 1 at a time in combat.
- Enemy hit chance is now temporarily reduced when the player crouches.
- Changed the crossbow weapon to use hit scan logic instead of behaving like a projectile weapon.
- Slightly improved the sounds indicating “low ammo.”
- Improved impact reactions associated with weapons typically viewed as “heavy.”
- Buffed low-level explosive skills to be more useful and fun throughout the game.
- Added visual elements to the HUD and the weapon wheel to indicate the current level of upgrade on a given weapon.
- Added text below the weapon wheel to indicate the requirements to complete the equipped weapon challenge.
- Added a full-screen tutorial to encourage players to utilize the upgrade system.
- New feature: emote wheel
- New feature: selfie mode
- Added extensive tech to automatically condense icons on the map when zooming out.
- Added hide player health ui option.
- Added hide vehicle health ui option.
