Saints Row IV Gets ‘Game of the Generation’ Edition, New ‘Hail to the Chief’ Trailer

Posted on September 1, 2013 at 2:50 pm

It’s pretty clear that Saints Row IV goes to be ridiculous. The former game within the series provided a number of juvenile humor and violence, and publisher Deep Silver was trying its best to capture that feel with over-the-top trailers. The Australian rejection of the sport over the “Alien Anal Probe” weapon was probably viewed as free advertising.

This week, Deep Silver and Volition announced that, besides parodying Grand Theft Auto-style games, they are going to even be parodying the sometimes ridiculous collector’s editions offered for games. The “Emperor Zinyak’s Game of the Generation Edition” of Saint’s Row IV might be available for fans in North America for $130.

The bundle comes with all the items present in either one of any other collector’s editions of Saints Row IV. The alternate box art and additional in-game content from the “Commander in Chief” edition of the sport in included, in addition to the 8-inch Johnny Gat Memorial statue, the Dubstep Doomsday Button, and the foot-long Dubstep Gun replica (complete with laser sight) present in the “Super Dangerous Wub Wub” edition of the sport. On top of that, the “Game of the Generation” edition comes with a “Display Case of Everlasting Glory” – a light-weight-up, rotating display case for the sport itself. Each display case could have an individually numbered plaque, and only 5,000 of the “Game of the Generation” bundles are being created.

In addition to the bundle announcement, the general “Hail to the Chief” trailer was released today. The last in a chain of very short trailers, it shows off a weapon called the “Bouncer Rifle.”

Your Madden 25 Ultimate Team Is Safe In Next-Gen

Posted on September 1, 2013 at 11:39 am

EA Sports’ free-to-play (with microtransactions) Ultimate Team mode is addictive, and Madden NFL 25 developer EA Tiburon is operating to will let you keep your progress within the mode in the event you move from the present-gen version to the following-gen one.

Ultimate Team players who own the present-gen version of Madden NFL 25 gets to transfer as much as 1,100 UT items over to the following-gen version (naturally only from PS3 to PS4 and Xbox 360 to Xbox One). This can be a one-time move that requires a web connection, an EA Origin account, and a PSN or Xbox Live account. You will get to transfer as much as 55 players, 45 items, and 1,000 reserve items inside the migration. Once transferred, you may use your UT cards for your current-gen system, but you won’t have the ability to trade or auction them.

Furthermore, when you own the Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition for the present generation, you can get six UT All Pro packs to be used on a single next-gen console.

Madden NFL 25 comes out on August 27 for current-gen systems and later this year for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Our Take
This is a superb technique to help out fans who can be spending money on both versions in addition to any Ultimate Team cards – especially since EA is under no obligation to try this. Hopefully it should help evangelize the mode and its growth.
