This is a sub-page of Saints Row (2022).

Homie Icons#

Unused Homie icons for Pierce (ui_homie_pierce) and Shaundi (ui_homie_shaundi), from before the game's new main characters phase. They reuse their real-life artwork from the Saints Row: The Third marketing, likely as a placeholder.

SR2022_PierceHomieIcon.pngSR2022_ShaundiHomieIcon.png

An unused Homie icon for the scrapped protagonist's customizable mother (ui_homie_boss_mom). Her icon is reused from this concept art.

An unused Homie icon for the boss (ui_homie_boss), depicting an earlier design for the preset, with a different hairstyle and face.

An unused Homie icon (ui_homie_snickerdoodle) for...Snickerdoodle? It looks different in design, having different ears and thinner face.

It is worth noting that a quadruped pet recruit was considered, originally as a dog before it was scrapped due to quadrupeds not being programmed properly, until it returned as overworld NPCs in the form of coyotes.

Map Icons#

Discoveries#

An earlier icon for the Photo Discovery icon (map_discoveries_photo). Final uses map_discoveries_photoB, with an image next to the camera.

A scrapped map "Discovery" for a Firetruck (likely the Blaze), instead of appearing as a Side Hustle. They do appear in the final except without hose water.

A discovery icon for snakes, likely for the scrapped Venom Juice diversion. In the final game, the desert of Santo Ileso is a completely snake-free zone.

Don't make a messsssss~

An icon for dive spots, which may have functioned similar to dumpster diving except in the water.

A scrapped discovery internally called "Fast Identity". Maybe it was to do with credit cards at banks?

An icon for a pole dancer (map_discoveries_stripper), likely intended for the scrapped pole-dancing diversion.

Stores#

An icon for a car garage, according to the filename, rather than a car dealer. The graphic would be used in the V1.2 update, albeit purple.

An icon for a scrapped surgeon store. Likely scrapped in favor of the surgery being easily accessible via the phone.

Icon likely intended for a yard sale store, despite the filename saying "unknown".

UI Graphics#

An early logo of Saints Row, as ui_dev_launcher_sr5_logo. This is likely from when the Cinco naming was dropped.

Early Loading Crest#

A crest intended for the loading screens.

Early Main Menu#

Found in some .lua and vint.doc files is the early belt buckle logo main menu screen (ui_mm_bg_buckle) from the Saints Row Cinco phase of development.

Early Crib Menu#

A background for the crib menu, likely for the Ventures feature.

Placeholder DLC Thumbnails#

Some placeholder DLC thumbnails, recycled from concept art, but interestingly the top left one shows an unused design.

Shops#

A scrapped outdoor stall for Teabags of London (ui_banner_teabags), which is an actual building in the city.

Multiplayer#

Scrapped graphics for a multiplayer mode (ui_bms_vs).

Selfie Feature#

Cut features of the Selfie mode.

Weapons#

Two slightly filtered graphics of weapons consisting of a gun and...tacos?

Real Estate Phone App#

Cut background for a cut "real estate" phone app, from unreleased concept art. What's most interestingly though is that the scrapped Masako Multinational vehicles can be spotted!

Other#

An unused set of graphics called traffic_stop, with "VIOLATION" and "MOVING" on it. It's likely to do with the police.

Placeholder Graphics#

Placeholder texture (ui_temp_full_screen_texture) for a full screen.

A rather slap-dashed texture for a vehicle logo as ui_vehicle_logo_missing

Placeholder texture for a district banner (ui_temp_district_banner). Strangely, this was removed in an update.

Placeholder textures for a customization (empire_temp_cust_reward) and ability reward (empire_temp_ability_reward) for Empire building.

SR2022_empire_temp_cust_reward.pngSR2022_empire_temp_ability_reward.png

A rather fancy-looking placeholder logo texture for a store called ui_store_temp_logo_van

A temporary location logo found amongst the graphics for the Map (ui_bms_map). This was removed in an update.

A placeholder texture for an agent (ui_agent_test_portrait), likely an Agents of Mayhem leftover.

Early Perks#

There's a handful of scrapped Perks in this graphic file, including a... peculiar placeholder graphic.

  • There's a scrapped Perk for a Human Shield ability, which was likely replaced with a similar one in the final.
  • Molotovs were originally going to be in the game as usable weapons, but got scrapped.
