Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford, as one of the few currently vocal about the strengths of the Wii U, has continued his glowing praise of the system and unique controller.
Multiple future Gearbox Software projects, including Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 2 have been spotted.
Hopefully, they fired the entire writing team after B3 cause that dialogue was truly atrocious.
doubtful... this is gearbox we're talking about.. Randy thinks everything the studio does is gold because he has a bad concept of reality
FFS make something else. If you can't make anything new, at least bring back Brothers In Arms or something.
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.
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...
Good news for Gearbox and Pinball Fans. Zen Studios today announced a partnership with fellow Embracer Group developer Gearbox Software to bring classic game series to life in pinball form with Gearbox® Pinball. This three-pack of digital tables is set for release when Zen’s new Pinball FX platform hits PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series x/s.
“Future experiences [are] already under development at Gearbox," says Randy Pitchford
I'm actually surprised by this, I feel like it came and went very quickly without too much interest
but good to see!
Well, it was relatively short and no True Vault Hunter mode to replay the campaign. The DLC was horribly short, lame and overpriced, which didn't help.
Probably had a significantly smaller budget, so it was able to smash lower targets while not being immensely popular.
I wonder how Borderlands 3 did overall as well. I've seen that game for under $15 multiple times (and in multiple clearance racks for $5).
A sequel will need a lot of work. They didn't lean nearly enough into the fantasy elements, which left the combat feeling like Borderlands rather than a new franchise. The end game is trash, there's no new game plus, no proper DLC/expansions, etc. The drop rates for loot were god awful.
It had a lot of great ideas but in terms of gameplay it felt way too safe, like Gearbox was too scared to stray too far from Borderlands.
I legit thought it was intended to be dlc at first for b3 which kind of explains why it didn't
Yeah, fuck those drop rates. Trying to farm for something specific was futile. Especially for the armor. Need to match 2 classes instead of 1, and then there's the whole Ascended, Primordial, etc thing that made it even harder. Add another class into it later lowered the chances even further. They really needed to tailor drops so you had a better chance of getting your own classes drops.
This is why I stopped playing. I'd spend an hour or two every day farming, filling my inventory, loading up loot bunnies with crystals, and consistently get nothing to show for it after a month of trying to get an upgrade for one piece of gear.
Good to hear.
I guess I will have to brush up on my FPS skills.
Randy just said that "the best looking console version of Aliens: Colonial Marines is going to be on Wii U"
I guess this looks like the Wii U might be a lot more powerful than some people are saying.
This is positive news for Nintendo Elite supporters.
Another professional has just gone on record to praise the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system tablet control functions. Also mentioning that the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system edition will be the superior version of the Alien CM title. Graphically and gameplay wise.
I am looking forward to see what advantages come with my day one purchase of this title, and what the new innovative tablet controller can do for me. I hope each and every one of you also get to experience the unique gameplay innovations that will be presented to us exclusively on the Nintendo version of this promising title.
Up to this point, this amazing looking title looks to be a fine compliment to the Nintendo brand. A great addition to the forever growing Nintendo library, and will stand up well to the future Nintendo Wii U entertainment system exclusive offerings that will soon be presented to us come this E3 2012 and beyond.
Pitchford also mentions that the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system is a true powerful next generation device. Which should give the hopefulls on the fence peace at mind, peace that was very much needed judging from the comments of the last few weeks.
Have a blessed day and happy gaming.
Rated E For Everyone
We'll see that at E3
"...from Nintendo."
The article title is completely misleading and taken out of context. He didn't say it's the "best FPS controller ever." He said, "it's the best FPS controller from Nintendo ever." Which isn't saying much.
