Deep Silver and Volition have released a new trailer in celebration of Independence Day July 4th, after all that's the day that the aliens invade and America shoots them all down right?

Now I know a lot of gamers believe that Volition have gone a little too over the top in their latest outing for the Saints, but you know what, come September 17th we have the chance of playing an inherently dramatic game when Grand Theft Auto V comes out, until then, why can't we just let our hair down and have some fun in Saints Row IV! If you're all for fun like we are, then take a gander at their latest trailer. By the way, if you didn't get it I was joking about Independence Day...

The trailer looks absolutely fantastic and not only alludes to Mass Effect but some great science fiction, now with some more fabulous new gameplay shown to us, Saints Row IV is ticking all of my boxes!

In Saints Row IV the head of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States, however a catastrophic alien invasion transports the gang to a bizarro-Steelport that you will have to escape whilst defending yourself from the invading alien empire the Zin with superhuman powers and an arsenal of alien weaponry.

With more ridiculous crazy action, enhanced customisation, and the ability to leap over buildings, outrun cars and send enemies flying with telekinetic powers it is set to be the most insane instalment of the Saints Row series yet!

Saints Row IV is scheduled for a release August 23rd 2013 on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Windows PC, and can be pre-ordered now to obtain the Commander in Chief edition on top of the Standard and Collector's Edition, if you didn't catch our preview of the game from E3 be sure to give it a look!
