The attitude at the SR3 board was one of disappointment, and I was active there for several months. You can't revise history, so don't try.

SR2 was the peak of the franchise; this is just a fact, though the sales numbers were in part due to the lack of ad spots (their ads were great, just not run enough). They wanted to go back to that, but tried to appeal to a younger audience. It made sense on paper; it's just that there's not a big enough audience. The people I've talked to enjoyed the reboot more than SR3 - SR3 was the kind of game you play once, because man is it boring on replays, and there's absolutely nothing to do outside of missions. Steelport is an atrocious sandbox with no character or soul.

Santo Ileso at least has some character to it, as you can differentiate the areas pretty easily. It just didn't go far enough establishing itself.
