Check out 2o2p's exclusive video interview with Randy Pitchford, the president and CEO of Gearbox Software, as he goes in depth about what to expect for the release of Borderlands 2.
In this interview:
• Caustic Cavers
• Preorder Premier Club gets free access to 5th Character
• 5th Character is the Mecromancer (builds kick ass mechs)
• They are building her as the game goes through certification. Should be completed months after release.
• Limited Additions selling out rapidly.
• Shows off Gunzerker Gameplay.
• Guinness book of world records for most guns. Talks about his favorite class.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
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.
