However, for players who enjoy spending countless hours simply tinkering away with things such as eye shape and facial detailing, Saints Row Boss Factory is an incredibly fun game unto itself. The sheer number of options available to the player is staggering and can potentially overwhelm players. Some of the key highlights and areas of the customization suite, for me, were control over things such as “Muscle Definition” and Outfits. Very much in typical Saints Row fashion is the wacky “Modesty” options which allow players to use all sorts of weird emoticons to cover their Groin areas. The non-binary nature of the customization suite is also a welcome change of pace from standard RPGs that create rigid constructs for the players to play around with. Although the personality section is only restricted to the Voice and Emotes for the Boss, it is still a cool addition. Additionally, the hands-off preview event for Saints Row confirmed that players will be able to create multiple Bosses and switch between them on the fly and customise them even further once in the game.īoss Factory allows players to create multiple player characters and give them all unique facial and body features – as well as personalities. We played around with Boss Factory quite a bit, and it would appear that this is, in fact, a large chunk of the customization suite in the game. It would appear that Saints Row has similar ambitions, and before we know it, there will be all kinds of Bosses playing around in Saints Row – from superheroes to pop culture icons. Games like WWE 2K have showcased just the kind of wackiness, variety and innovation the community can come up with on their own once they have a deep-enough customisation suite. The number of options on display is honestly staggering – and we cannot wait to see what kind of community creations will be up on display once the game is out. The Boss Factory puts all of the features in the spotlight and lets players customize everything about their Boss’ look – from the muscle definition and veins to the kind of tan they would like their Boss to have. The devs dropped a pretty in-depth customisation suite trailer and it showed off a vast number of options for players to tinker with. One of the things that jump off the page when it comes to Saints Row is the emphasis on the customisation of the player-character.
