New gameplay video from IGN

See now I am just going to end up being disappointed, because I remember saying to myself after beating SR4 "man I sure wish I could upgrade glide to flight", and now that they have a flight mode in this standalone "expansion" that'll be exclusive to it and not the main SR4 game... *sigh*

Best thing they could do with this is reward the people who have bought the main SR4 game and let them use the content from Gat out of Hell (after finishing it) in the main SR4 game!

yeah like knifes it l be great yo

I remember THQ did something similar back with W40k Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising expansion, you can buy the expansion only and get access to 1 faction, new campaign and new game modes (all new stuff from expansion) but if you have the base game it will integrate with it. They advertise it as standalone expansion as well and I hope this is similar to it.

I believe Chaos rising is an expansion, not stand alone. For that to happens in Saints Row 4 we will have to install SR:GOOH in the same folder as SR4 which will make a catastrophic mess. Since it's a stand alone, having SR4 is optional, so GOOH must have its own data (.bin or whatever) but when the two game united for the sake of your request both data will be overwritten. your modded customized_item will absolutely be gone.
See, that's why a game can't be a stand alone and an expansion at the same time.
But if you okay with the other way around, opening SR4 content from GOOH, that is absolutely possible and a lot of game already did that.

It is standalone, if it is not standalone the Steam store page will have a nice orange box saying stating that you need the base game. For example the RACE: Caterham Expansion pack: http://store.steampowered.com/app/4290/

It has "Notice: Requires 'Race: The WTCC Game' in order to play the Caterham Expansion." written on it while Chaos Rising doesnt have any: http://store.steampowered.com/app/20570/

It will be catastrophic for the modding scene but that actually expands the game which what an expansion should do but it is cutting it off from the base game for GOOH case, it is just a standalone DLC where Idol confirmed it (should be another thread). I would prefer it more if it is part of the base game where I can carry over the existing stuff to the new city.

Thanks for the correction.

I know it will be fun, and i hope Volition hear you because like i think GOOH is kinda waste of money. But then again, the possibility is too low. The base game is strictly hardcoded. If they want to add new stuff to that i think they have to overwrite everything, and that is unlikely.

It is confirmed that GOOH will not be tied to SR4 in anyway, nothing from SR4 is available in GOOH and vice versa, except Boss which will be imported through SR4 saves.

I doubt Volition going to make a expansion for the existing SR4 from the looks of it, it seem like the next thing is either brand new IP or another SR game (Maybe). GOOH is more of a small budget size game, something like the Far Cry Blood Dragon. Small and cheap and gave you an idea of what the main full game is about. I'll buy it on day 1 but still a little bit disappointed that it isnt expanding the base SR4. Hope mods could port those area over 1 day.
