Assuming  is finished with the Saints Row series, where do you suppose they will go next? Another FPS, maybe another space sim, or something entirely different.

[Hobbie]

Saints Row 5: Attack of the Vasudans.

EDIT: We know the Red Faction and Freespace universes are linked. The Subach Corporation was in Red Faction Guerrilla. Or it could be just an in joke. Actually, that's more likely.

[Phantom Hoover]

i mean it's not like we can conclusively rule out the GTA being the evolution of the Saints, is it?

[headdie]

is known for easter eggs as a general.

as for their next game, i would love to see a new space game but between market impressions and the dominance of Star Citizen i think it will be awhile before any of the established player delve into the genre

the studio currently has a lot of experience in 3rd person game development so probably something based on that experience with a new sci-fi setting would be cool

[Klaustrophobia]

I wouldn't mind another Red Faction game.

Shame that IP has been killed

[Rodo]

Maybe another attempt at horror game? btw, how did the last one go for them?

Spoiler for SR4

Spoiler:

The game ended with revelation of time travel. The series is not finished.

Technically, THQ killed it. There's no saying that Deep Silver couldn't resuscitate it. (Unless the remnants of THQ hold the IP rights and they didn't transfer with )

That's actually worth looking into. Where do the RF rights reside?

[Trivial Psychic]

No-one's brought up the idea of another Descent game.

[Phantom Hoover]

I'm thinking they're just going to do something new; most of their old work is now in some IP limbo or other from all the times they've changed hands.

Did Volition ever have the rights to the Descent franchise?

I could be very wrong but that went with Parallax iirc

[Scourge of Ages]

OK, so apparently Nordic Games purchased the Red Faction IP, and will most likely choose a developer to sell it to (hopefully ).

I don't know who owns the IP for the Descent series, but it was last seen with Interplay, and since they now completely own the Freespace IP, it could be assumed that Interplay does retain Descent itself.

[rubixcube]

Yeah, I think Interplay owns the rights to Descent, they were actually going to get G1M2 to develop a Descent for Wii ware title but I think that died

[Klaustrophobia]

Man, Descent has been out of my head for so long I pretty much forgot about it.  And ya know, I still haven't ever beaten any of them.  When I was first playing them, I was so young that the concept of saving and continuing a game was lost on me.  I was REALLY damn good at the first 3 or so levels though.  I think I eventually played 3 far enough to get both of the pyro variants.  And I remember some levels where most of the outside environment was purple.  I'm not sure if I legitimately obtained the black shark missile, or if I only ever had it from a cheat code.  I think what mainly stopped my progress in 1 and 2 was the mines just got so damn big and confusing it made playing tedious and I stopped.

[BloodEagle]

I actually wouldn't be terribly excited about a new Descent.

I wasn't terribly pleased with the change in direction from D2 to D3 (it was still a damned good game, mind you), and I would imagine that anything made today would be even further away from the core game than D3 was.
