He's also the vice president of the united states.

Heres the link the sr4 e3 trailer. This game is the one I am most looking forward to this year.

he should come back as Julius Little cause saints row 2 was the best saints row game!

That trailer was pretty funny. Wasn't Keith David also in the first two Saints Row games as a different character?

He has was already in the Saints Row series! Another franchise forgetting its own mythology.

Didn't Keith David already voice Julius in the Saint's Row universe? I wonder if they'll refer to that at all and make a slightly meta joke about it.

Funny ass trailer.

'You have a plan?'

'We're getting the band back together and then we're gonna kill Zeniac.'

'That's not a plan that's a goal!'

Man, that was actually a really great trailer. I'm constantly tossing and turning with this game; on one hand it starts to look so much better than SRTT, but then something else about this game crops up and it feels like it's trying way too hard this time around. I dunno, still excited to find out in August.

I have a feeling they're still very much aware of David's past in the series. Given that there's actually going to be two Shaundis, I have to imagine they'll write a few jokes referring to David's Julius character as well, if they don't just revive him for whatever the fuck's sake anyway.

Also,

Benjamin 'Motherfucking' King is back in town...

Oh my god, everything about this game makes me want it. Now they just need Kevin Michael Richardson as the main villain.

Deja-vu... I'm sure I've said that before. But hey, not any less true if so!

I want this game.

That trailer was PRETTY GOOD

More pressingly, The Boss in SR1/2 was a bald black dude.

Actually, the default player character in SR1 was a blonde white guy.

Goddamn, what a great trailer. I'm more excited for this game than I thought I would be.

I was really hoping they would bring back Johnny Gat. Maybe they still will and are keeping it a secret? Probably not, but one can hope.

Amazing. I'm so glad that Kinzie is back in the game. She was my favourite supporting character and I don't think she get's enough love

Considering my 'Player' has always been 'FemPlayer' as I've always preferred the voice work (and I heard nothing in that trailer to make me change my mind), I'm seriously hoping that all the player customisation will still be in there and that they haven't locked down the avatar to the box cover dude.

Seeing as how much of that trailer was spent with the avatar nude, I'm guessing I'll be spending most of the games opening playing as the equivalent of a Sim in the shower if the female model is still available.

The return of dreadlock Shaundi from Saints Row 2.

I'm back in!

YES.

Oh, the character customization is there. Saints Row has always limited their marketing to a default character save when they're specifically calling out the customization.

I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE THIS IS GOING TO BE GAME OF THE YEAR!

It's the part he was born to play.

I'm sorry, I thought this was America?

The 'That's not a plan, that's a goal!' line basically sold me on the entire game.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TAKE THIS MUCH AWESOME

Also, I am extremely excited about the return of Benjamin King. Plus, SR2 Shaundi coming back is pretty great. Curious what ending this goes off of from SR3...

Judging by this trailer. This game is going to be nothing like Saints row 1/2. And that is fine by me.

@sweep: @yummylee: I was kidding. Saints Row is the first franchise I'd expect to throw away and reference this.

Since Shaundi's alive I was going to say that it must be the Gangstas in Space ending, but then I remembered this is all just a fantasy setting anywhoo soooo... Hopefully they'll use that as an opportunity to bring Gat back as well -- and I mean Gat, not that hulking Johnny Tag thing from the SRTT DLC.

Hell, bring back Lin and Carlos as well, just have a big ole get together of every Saints Row character ever!

Oh shit! That's the guy from The Cape!

If Carlos was missing his face, that would be so fucking amazing

Now that was a pretty funny trailer way better than the other "nonese" they've shown

I would be down for all of these things. You know, they never did resolve Dex, and Troy's still a cop...And hey, if we did get hulking Gat, maybe that means we would also get back Aisha-Pierce, which is more than worth it.

Hey jeff just saw this an tweeted it.

Awesome trailer. I'm just hoping that Keith David isn't this game's "Burt Reynolds." Keep something up your sleeve.

So good. I love Volition so much right now.

Not sure if that's sarcasm or not, but I'll be honest, someone recognizing that voice (while on a gaming website) from that show and not from Halo or Mass Effect is kinda shocking to me.

That's why there needs to be a sarcasm font, but the movie The Thing is probably the first thing that pops into my head when I think Keith David.

GOTY

Agree with you there for the sarcasm font. Comic sans maybe?

This trailer finally made me excited for Saints Row 4.

It seems to me they should have introduced it as "Keith David plays Keith David as Vice President Keith David in SR4".

??

@oldenglishc: I'm always torn for memorable Keith David work, you've got The Thing for sure, then They Life but you've also got his amazingly creepy role as a pimp in Requiem for a Dream and his VO work in Gargoyles in the mid nineties, Guy's prolific!

What are you talking about? Keith David wasn't in The Cape.

@wiseblood: I really Britta'd that one.
