The games center on an initially unnamed player-created character (later nicknamed "the Boss") who joins the 3rd Street Saints by chance and helps them defeat enemy gangs in city-wide turf wars.

The first four games in the Saints Row series were set primarily in two fictional locales-Stilwater and Steelport-which are loosely based on real American cities.
Due to early entries being labeled as Grand Theft Auto clones, the developers sought to create a more distinctive experience from the third game onwards, with a heavy focus on over-the-top gameplay, popular culture homages, parodies, and self-referential humor these changes have been controversial among fans of the original games. Most of the gameplay revolves around driving and shooting, with occasional role-playing elements. Gameplay in the Saints Row games focuses on an open world where the player can complete missions to progress an overall story, as well as engage in various side activities. The series follows the 3rd Street Saints, a fictional street gang originally operating out of the Saint's Row district, hence the series' title. I’m excited to share this news with you and I hope at least some of you are equally excited to learn about Drifter.Saints Row is a series of action-adventure video games created by Volition and published by THQ and Deep Silver.

That said, I hope that once it finally arrives on PS4 and PS Vita that it is welcomed by the community as a worthy addition to the PlayStation family. Today, thanks to the amazing developer relations people at Sony and their support of independent developers such as myself, despite being nearly 20 years later, I’m proud and honoured to finally say that I’m making games for PlayStation.ĭespite being a huge undertaking these past few years and still under development, Drifter is closing in on completion and early feedback seems to indicate that people are already really enjoying the game and I can safely assume that the finished whole will be even better. Sadly I was never able to get one so that dream remained just a dream, or so I thought at the time. So much so I’m sure I probably wore out the pages of that magazine the number of times I read that article. That kit was called the Net Yaroze and at the time it made me realize that making games for consoles was within my reach and I wanted one desperately. On a more personal note, to explain what I meant earlier when I said that Drifter coming to PlayStation was fulfilling another dream of mine was that when I was younger and originally thinking about making my own games I remember reading in a magazine about a special PlayStation development kit for hobbyist game developers.
In addition to this you’ll also be able to develop your pilot’s skills to get the most out of whatever profession you choose to pursue. As for those who prefer to use their ship’s weapons to make a living we offer such things as bounty hunting, combat and escort missions, and even piracy if you feel like running afoul of the law. To that end, we are designing the game to support a multitude of play-styles which cater to as many people who like games like Drifter as possible.įor those who want to take a more peaceful and serene approach to making their way through the galaxy we offer things like classic space trading, crafting, salvaging, exploration and mining. In a game as expansive as Drifter, especially because almost everything is procedurally-generated, it is our job to try and make the game world feel alive and give the player as much choice as possible when it comes to how they might want to play the game. In addition to this huge sandbox to play in Drifter will also feature a hand crafted series of story missions which will the player can embark upon to both advance their character as well as learn more about the backstory of the Drifter universe. In the game you take on the role of a spaceship captain attempting to eke out a living among the stars by trading goods between star systems, hunting pirates for bounties, mining asteroids for valuable ore, or even becoming a pirate yourself.
A massive galaxy to exploreĭrifter is an open-world sandbox space trading game with a procedurally-generated galaxy 100,000 light years across made up of tens of thousands of star systems to explore and features an original soundtrack by composer Danny Baranowsky. Drifter is that game, and now I’m happy to say that another dream of mine is being fulfilled: Drifter is coming to PS4 and PS Vita. In fact, it’s long been a dream of mine to take all of what I enjoyed about those sorts of games and try and create my own game in the genre. While growing up I was always fascinated by space exploration and I was especially fond of the many videogames set in space such as Frontier, Starflight and Privateer.
