Not everyone at Saints Row developer Volition was enthusiastic about the liberal use of porn stars in past games in the series, a new interview has revealed.
Speaking with Edge, Saints Row associate producer Kate Nelson explained that publisher THQ was responsible for the presence of porn stars in past games, something she and others at Volition didn't necessarily appreciate.
"I did not always love how much THQ put an emphasis on porn stars," Nelson explained. "In Saints Row 2 and Saints Row 3 there was an emphasis on the penthouse girls, and earlier Tera Patrick. I think it's important in marketing games to make sure that the essence of the game is what's being marketed, and I think the porn star angle didn't really fit in with what Saints Row is at heart, which is a parody. We like to poke fun."
