Saints Row: Episode IV

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Saints Row IV.

2012#

As shown in a Development build from 2012, a year before Saint's Row IVs eventual release, a few changes were present. These include the original title being known as Saint's Row: Episode IV- a tongue in cheek reference to Star War's titling- and the opening meta disclaimer being one that is somewhat reminiscent to those from games such as High on Life, or even films such as Fight Club. This disclaimer is as follows:

Saint's Row: Episode IV is a game and not real. Any characters, locations, and names in this game are entirely fictional. This game also contains objectionable language and simulated acts of violence and therefore probably shouldn't be played by anyone that takes themselves too seriously.

The original plot of Saint's Row IV was far from what the game ended up becoming- Ultor had cloned Adolf Hitler, Genghis Khan and Cleopatra, who in turn would have lead all of the rival gangs in the game, similar to the original structure present in the first three games.. without the addition of Hitler at least. This may have been cut due to the tastelessness of the addition, or simply the fact that this was before the plot was merged with cut Saint's Row: The Third DLC: Enter The Dominatrix.
