Randy Pitchford on the "tug of war" between creativity and business

(Gamesindustry.biz) The Gearbox head also tells us that gun violence wouldn't be as big an issue if the NRA acted more like the ESRB

After the ACM debacle I just have a hard time believing anything Gearbox says.

i disagree. i like him. he's a gamer and he seems like a really cool guy.

dwight i wouldn't get too huffy about congress passing anything. i don't think you've seen our congress lately.

Imperator115bc4065d ago

leave it to f*cking rebel to disagree....
follow upon footstep of man with no honor and see
balls ripped away from f*cking sack.

No one gives a sh!t what you say Randy,NO ONE!

BX814066d ago

Yeah, I was just about to say that. This cat should just shut his mouth for a long time and put something good out and hope everyone forgives!

"Imagine if the NRA was actually advocating for gun laws; imagine if the NRA had the same relationship with the gun industry that the ESRB has with the game industry."

Annnd there goes my last ounce of respect for Randy Pitchford. Typical Austin liberal douchebag. I swear, Travis County is like a big blue turd in the middle of the great red awesome punch bowl that is Texas.

Yes Randy, all gun violence is CLEARLY the NRA's fault. DAMN THEM and their belief in personal freedom and gun education advocacy and not wanting Congress to pass even MORE RESTRICTIVE gun laws that only affect law-abiding citizens and that criminals will ignore because, you know... they're CRIMINALS. /s

Neither the NRA or ESRB has any business, let alone right, to be meddling in either of their respective industries.

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.

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.

They haven't handled comedy well since Burke left.
