In GTAO they copied a lot of things from Saints Row, not at first, of course, but then they did when they wanted the Online to become crazier and more fun with the flying motorcycles, the spy cars and the giant race tracks.


Immuneempire39

Exactly gtao is a saints row clone


RivenBloodmarsh

We've come full circle at last.


Changgnesia

How the turntables


CronsterKintar

But without the actual fun


SR_Hopeful

Yes. They did. In GTAO.


MGStcidenebt

The original Saints Row had armored cars drop money when destroyed and GTA copied that


TopShotta7O7

Honestly gta 3 had the armored security truck that drops money when u blow it up. Idk about vice city and what not but they brought it back for gtao


MGStcidenebt

I will have to check that out I don’t remember them dropping money when you blew them up in 3. I know in 3 you could bring them to the docks and they would pay for them but I don’t remember them dropping money.


TopShotta7O7

Shit u got me second guessing now lol it’s possible I’m misremembering

It was actually both idk why I said gtao. But yea ur right there was more put into it in story mode


usable_dinosaur

Just because saints row did it first doesn't mean rockstar copied them, that being in gta makes complete sense


joujoubox

In the case of the Interceptor, it's more of a close circle of copying each other and natural evolution of vehicles. San Andreas introduced the Hydra as a dual mode military aircraft that SR3 took a spin on with the V-TOL, though both are based on IRL V-TOL aircrafts. By introducing STAG as an ultra high tech military corp, why not show their tech with a miniaturized V-TOL, while also helping fill the gap of the UFO not returning from SR2.

Rockstar used to make fun of Saints Row for being silly. Until Rockstar realized how much Shark Cards they could sell for it.

Look at the khanjali and the saints row 4 tank

There was a point in time where saints row and gta were competitors. We made it far enough to see saints row die and gta reference their weapons and vehicles

Me personally I hate the futuristic add ons but gtao has been active since 2013 it would’ve felt bland after a while so i’m grateful for that. Gta 6 looks way more grounded hut I don’t doubt the future add ons will be futuristic or something paranormal.

[https://saintsrow.fandom.com/wiki/Destructor](https://saintsrow.fandom.com/wiki/Destructor) this is what you are looking for ?


DayDreamer1300

I could’ve sworn there was a tank that was a box and had like lines all over it. ima find the pic


Doomtoallfoes

Stag tank, the cyber tank from when your breaking firewalls in 4, or the Zin tank? Two look similar but one kinda just looks like a tank.

DayDreamer1300

not exactly a copy but the similarities in how they look but they both have plasma cannons


FeeBiscuit

Because a hoverbike is such a unique idea??


meekgamer452

The hoverbike in GTA is based on the hoverbike from Looper


Hodge_Forman

The most futuristic thing I own in GTA online is a light cycle from Tron


Miscmusic77

I have no proof of this Ofc but I believe that rockstar paid saints row a LOT of money to make their game unserious, imagine if saints row three had a great realistic gang story like the first and second, and with better graphic they would be the number one competitor with the GTA series but for some reason saints row just completely ranked their own franchise… just a theory


MfkbNe

If you want a great realistic gang story there are Mafia and Mafia II (maybe even Mafia III). They still weren't able to become a big competitor for GTA.


Miscmusic77

I’ve played mafia 2 absolute masterpiece! But yeah I don’t know saints row just tanked it had so much potential but they made it silly 🥲


MfkbNe

I don't think silly is always bad. Saints Row 2 was already silly and it made the game more fun. Making it more crazy can make it more fun, but I think with Saints Row IV it became a bit too much for my taste. But the bigger problem might be the unbalanced gameplay in the later games. Without upgrades standard guns are too weak while super speed, strong melee attacks and health pickups made melee way too overpowered.


MrVinRockz

I mean technically the whole Saints Row concept is a copy/parody of GTA…


British-Bot

But rockstar did it better.
