The alien invasion gives Volition more freedom to create weird content

As the launch date for Saints Row 4 is drawing near, the team at developer Volition is delivering yet another diary with information on the way the impressive superpowers of the game were created and the new choices added to the arsenal of the player character.

The footage features opinions and information from Jim Boone, a senior producer, Steve Jaros, creative director, Steve Quirk, art director, John Brunkhart, weapons designer and David Payne, lead weapons artist.

The core game experience will focus on the fight against an alien invasion and allows the developers to add a number of ludicrous powers and weapons to the series, which is already known for its over-the-top humor.

The arsenal includes a weapon that fires black holes and one that delivers dubstep to enemies.

Saints Row 4 will be out on the PC and on current-gen consoles on August 20 in North America and three days later in Europe.
