I look forward to future open-world titles supporting player creation, as I think the idea of personalizing your game experience is going to spread like wild fire. I'm pleased to say that our player-creation feature is extremely robust, matching (and sometimes surpassing) those aforementioned sports titles in the sheer number of options the player can tweak. Therefore, we conducted a lot of research into what other titles were doing and built upon that to give the player enough options to build whomever they wanted. Even though we're the first ones in this genre to support this feature, we wanted to do it right. We decided early on that in order to do player creation right, we'd want to give the player as many options as some of those big-name sports brands that are released year after year. Player creation is the backbone of our entire customization feature. In today's diary I'll discuss the design philosophies behind player creation/customization and vehicle customization. Hi, my name is Christopher Stockman, Design Director for Saints Row. Today, Design Director Christopher Stockman serves up the skinny on character and car customization.
