Humble Bundle went slightly off piste and away from its indie roots with the Humble THQ Bundle, but it turns out getting loads of good video games for little money is broadly pleasant. Today it launched the Humble Deep Silver Bundle, offering the likes of Saints Row: The Third, Sacred 2, Dead Island Riptide and more, depending on how much you fancy paying.
Saints Row 4 is getting a limited-run "Game of the Generation" edition, which includes a light-up stand, velvet pouch, and numbered plaque.
Saints Row 4 is getting a season pass, which will include two mission packs (the first being Enter the Dominatrix) and an exclusive weapon.
The Saints Row 4 "Enter the Dominatrix" DLC will be coming 45 days after launch, and feature characters themselves giving wall-breaking commentary.
Look, I know, "spoilers" and all that, but Saints Row IV is a video game about the President of the US fighting aliens inside a computer simulation using superpowers and a gun which blasts dubstep--spoilers aren't that important. So here, a new trailer showing the return of Johnny Gat following his unfortunate demise in Saints Row: The Third.
One big drive in the recent crowdfunding bonanza has been a sentiment of "publishers can go rot", but publishers do also provide valuable services beyond developers' area of expertise. Wasteland 2 developer inXile today announced it's signed a distribution deal with publisher Deep Silver for the post-apocalyptic RPG's physical release and backer rewards.
If you bought a DLC season pass for Metro: Last Light (but why would you buy DLC unseen?), you may wonder what happened to the 'Faction Pack' DLC that was due in June. It'll finally arrive next Tuesday, July 16, Deep Silver announced today, with three new single-player missions. The publisher dropped more details on the other packs too.
The Saints Row series continues to get crazy, going from zombies and missions to Mars in The Third to a Saints president of the United States and and an alien invasion in Saints Row 4. So how do you top that? The game's design director says you don't.
Given that Saints Row IV stars the President of the United States, a trailer celebrating Independence Day was inevitable. But oh, as it's also about an alien invasion, it's also riffing on that other Independence Day, with a stirring speech so powerful even I, a Queen-fearing lobsterback, shed a tear of pride for our little country all growed up.
Saints Row 4 debuted its pre-order bonus costumes today, two sets of superhero duds called "Iron Rogue" and "Queen Amazonia."
