Cut content
Rock Paper Shotgun’s cut-content piece, read with Wikipedia, says the first six months aimed at an undercover cop inside the Saints, then that pitch was dropped. Also cut: freegunning along walls and between cars, a cover system, and competitive multiplayer.
Followers concept
The search “followers concept” does not land on a single document I can quote. It may be early homie art. I am not going to describe a cancelled follower mode as if I had the design doc. The homies that shipped are on the homies page.
The Cutting Room Floor was blocked when this was researched, so I am not padding the list with unseen entries. Two sources, and an open question on the followers phrase.
FAQ
Was there competitive multiplayer?
It was cut. The shipped game is two-player co-op only.
