I just cant understand why they want to reboot the series at all, I mean is this what big budget gaming has come to? Yawn.

I would like to know your thoughts on where the series would go after Gat Out of Hell if not a reboot. Because only two of the endings lead to anything that could be a new game in the series: The reboot ending and the "The Siants invade an alien planet" ending.

how about just ending it there and never doing another Saints Row game?

I have yet to see a AAA studio with the fortitude to do that. If the series entry is profitable, it gets a sequel. If it was once profitable but no longer is, then it gets a reboot a decade later.
Maybe From Software has that fortitude? The day I see a Dark Souls 4 will be a sad day for me.

Did I just fall into a wormhole to 2008 or what here. AAA gaming has been all about reboots and franchises for most of this millenium.

They'll just pull a Bethesda and relaunch every Souls game on each new generation with a minor graphical update.

Film industry is pretty much the same. Spiderman anyone?

I'd expect that a Saints Row reboot can easily be as close to, or as different from, the original Saints Row as Bloodborne was from Dark Souls. I love From, but I wouldn't exactly say that they have shown an enormous range in the games they make.

I haven't played Bloodborne, but while you can draw a pretty much straight line from King's Field to the Souls games to Sekiro in how the games are designed and themed, they also feel fairly different in how they play. King's Field games are immersive dungeon crawlers. The Souls games are an evolution of that, but with more of an emphasis on (relatively) slow tactical combat and a metroidvania approach to level design. Sekiro plays more like Tenchu and requires you to be more aggressive and learn the rhythm of the combat.

Spiderman is quite the hat trick. It's a sequel of a reboot set in two overlapping franchises.
"Should we make a sequel, a reboot, or a franchise film?"
"How about a sequel to a reboot in
two franchises!?"
"Whoa!"
