Saints Row Should Introduce New Activities Alongside The Old Ones

With the Saints Row reboot releasing on August 26, there are sure to be a plethora of things to do as there were in older entries. One of the best things to do in any Saints Row title are the Activities strewn throughout a given map, providing a fun break from the main storyline. These tend to vary between one another, acting as a means for players to earn cash and respect — which helps unlock new items to purchase.

All the Saints Row titles have some great activities that will hopefully make their way into the next game. There are standard activities one would expect to see in any open-world game, such as «Hitman,» in which players locate and kill a specific target located somewhere on the map; or «Mayhem,» in which players do as much damage as possible to the surrounding area to rack up points. However, there's also room for new and exciting activities that innovate upon the formula, as have been seen in multiple Saints Row games.

For example, the Genki activities included in Saints Row: The Third are insane, unique takes on average gameplay, taking place in a reality competition show set within the Saints Row universe. The Genki-Bowl 7 in particular had crazy competitions that felt like a true game within a game. With the upcoming title being a reboot of the series' tone as well, players could see intricate activities that, while more realistic than cartoonish, still feel uniquely created. The Saints Row reboot's realistic reimagining of the series may work to its benefit in this regard.

As The Boss, the player's primary job is to be a strong gang leader. There are going to be a lot of intricacies to the crime world in Santo Ileso that
