Who’s behind the wheel on development for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel? Everyone

When Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel was announced on April 9, Gearbox Software said it was being co-developed by themselves and 2K Australia. That seemed pretty clear. But then stories were written in the press that made things sound a little murkier.

It's hard for me to believe that Borderlands 2 -- while a fun game! -- is the best-selling product in 2K's history. Wow.

It's OK -- they're trying so hard to make sure we know it's not Borderlands 3, that I know not to set any expectations for this.

GhostTurtle3650d ago

True. Unfortunately its release window is around Destinys and my ps4 needs some loving. Heres to BL3!

darkronin2293650d ago

Even though I've only played Borderlands 1 (BL2 has been sitting in my backlog for awhile now), I kinda feel burnt out on the series. I'll probably pass on this.

cfc783650d ago

Same here i liked Borderlands but after playing a few hours of BL2 i felt like id been here before the game was way to similar.

Ripsta7th3650d ago (Edited 3650d ago )

So you guys are critizing a game after playing for a few hours???? BL2 was so much better than the first. Playing coop w friends also helps

porkChop3650d ago

That's exactly how I felt. It was pretty much Borderlands 1.5 to me.

@ Ripsta7th

I just gave my opinion on BL2 like your opinion is BL2 was so much better than the first game and for the record i played it all the way through and my opinion hasn't changed.

RedDeadLB3650d ago (Edited 3650d ago )

Wow. It seems like I'm one of the people who found Borderlands 2 to be a MUCH better game than the first one, both aesthetically and gameplay wise. I finished Borderlands 1 with my friend and I was ultimately "meh" about it.

Now I'm playing Borderlands 2 with the same friend and the game is much more challenging, open and full of content and missions! Not to mention, much more fun. And a much better port than Blands 1 was.

2K Australia usually works very closely with 2K Marin

They helped Develop

PS3 version of Bioshock
Bioshock 2
The Burreu: Xcom Declassified

porkChop3650d ago

So basically they don't have a very good track record... BioShock was a mess on PS3 at release, and The Bureau was trash.

Borderlands 4 And Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 2 Leaked

Multiple future Gearbox Software projects, including Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 2 have been spotted.

Kaii150d ago

Hopefully, they fired the entire writing team after B3 cause that dialogue was truly atrocious.

jeromeface149d ago

doubtful... this is gearbox we're talking about.. Randy thinks everything the studio does is gold because he has a bad concept of reality

DrDoomer149d ago

FFS make something else. If you can't make anything new, at least bring back Brothers In Arms or something.

-Foxtrot149d ago

I know it will never happen (for obvious story reasons that's happened) but I wish we could play the original Vault hunters again with new abilities you could choose to develop in a skill branch. Never really felt I could get behind most of them after the first game, especially move wise. Lilith's phase walk will always be the best to me.

Speaking of Lilith, I'm kind of wondering how they'll get around the whole Siren thing since they wrote themselves into a corner saying there's "only 6 Sirens in the entire universe" and now thanks to Borderlines 3 they apparently pass on their abilities meaning once we see each of 6 powers available that's it, no new brand new ones. I don't know why they don't just say there's more than 6 since all of them in the ENTIRE Universe just conveniently coming to Pandora is a bit strange.

BrainSyphoned149d ago

That's super easy to get around. Each person that has the skill could have their own personal spin on it. There could be a new power that morphs them into something else. One of the weapon manufacturers could experiment on 5 of the Sirens and the 6th would have to fight a horde of siren powered bad guys to rescue the others. Fiction has been there and done that with power more complex or simple thousands of times before.

As for revisting the first game? That would be totally unlike the gaming industry to reboot a series...

Tina's Wonderland loot was not rewarding.

MadLad622d ago

They haven't handled comedy well since Burke left.
