Saints Row Reboot is set to release in a few months from now. So far we have got to know about the various destinations, districts of Santo Ileso, and how these districts actually look like and have also got to see a bit of the gameplay. Anyway, now with the latest video that got posted, named SAINTS ROW Criminal Ventures, we finally get to see what kind of activities can the players partake in with the new, upcoming Saints Row Reboot. And, from this new video, it seems that lots of old favorites are making their way back into the Saints Row reboot. This includes Let’s Pretend stores, and also the Insurance Fraud missions. One thing to note is that these are the side missions. So, these are not a part of the main campaign or storyline.
The Criminal Ventures are a spin on the organized crime operations in Santo Ileso. This is one of the main gameplay systems in the upcoming game. There are various criminal businesses that the players can own. And, depending on the one they end up choosing the rewards, characters, and even gameplay would be different. We even got to know about a few of the Criminal Ventures that there are going to be in the game.
Firstly, it is the Bright Future Disposal Facility. In here the Saints earn a good chunk of cash by illegally disposing of corporation’s toxic wastes. Then, the video also showed Let’s Pretend. It is where you gather your crew to pull off the various heists, and you also play as the getaway driver after the heist is done. Finally, we also get to see the Shady Oaks Medical Centre. Using this, the players can finally do the infamous Insurance Fraud missions that were available back in the 2006 Saints Row game. The concept of these Insurance Fraud missions is to get hit by as many vehicles as possible, claiming a lot of insurance money for yourself. Once the player character is hit by a vehicle, the ragdoll direction can be controlled to some extent and the aim is to be get hit by as many other vehicles as possible in order to get the most amount of money.
These Criminal Ventures result in a wide variety of fun and interesting activities. Definitely, something that the players would like to do every now and then. Not to mention, some of these can be very good for getting something specific. There will be fifteen of these activities, and more will be coming with future updates.
