Saints Row 4 is out now; here’s our Saints Row 4 review.
Although now cut due to expense, Saints Row 4 was originally to end with a three minute-long Bollywood-style dance number.
Speaking on a panel at Comic-Con, Volition’s creative director Steve Jaros said “”It was on our schedule and we were trying to do it the right way [but] the stars didn’t line up.”
The team had been behind the idea, even tracking down “the right Bollywood song” and beginning the dance’s choreography. What sank it was the estimated cost the motion capture team came back with, apparently three minutes of characters dancing is mighty expensive.
