I've been hoping for a grounded reboot since the third game. SR2 had my favorite story in the series. I didn't need to see the gang turn into an empire.
Just give me a found family story about goofy assholes turned ride or die comrades fighting other gangs and maybe a corrupt local law enforcement agency or something. I don't need futuristic fighter jets or superpowers, just solid gameplay, fun good guys and bad guys, and a good sense of progression that ends with the Saints being capable but not ridiculously overpowered.
          
          
Because when they stretch past the multiple year mark and households blend, why pretend they are a hookup?
