NowGamer: The Gearbox president has spoken up about the infamous Aliens: Colonial Marines demo at E3.
“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.
Pitchford mentions that they're currently working on a Brothers in Arms game, but also suggests that the game is in early development.
It's been way too long. They cancelled BiA: Furious 4 to make Battleborn and look how that turned out. Though I do hope this new entry is more like the proper BiA games, rather than F4 which was basically Borderlands meets Inglorious Basterds.
FINALLY!
Please let it be true to the series. Don't wreck it like Rainbow 6. Can we get at least one tactical single player shooter with squad commands?
Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.
The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.
The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.
He is still being dishonest.
Sure the final product can turn out different (worse in this case).
The problem is pretending afterwards that it's still the same as the first showing.THAT'S the issue.
This guy has close to ZERO credibility... even with Bordelands 1 and 2 on his curriculum. DKF and A:CM represents great franchises that himself stated being a fan and he let this go to sale.
Too much mud on his name right now.
The alternative is to never lie about the actual look of the game. no more bullshots no more Pre-rendered or CGI trailers and pretending they're taken from actual gameplay. cause sooner or later thousands of gamers would swarm towards their favourite forum and denounce the scam
They fucked up
Defiant to the end, isn't he?
I've never seen a grown man so opposed to eating a little **** for his mistakes.
He lied, he's still lying, he willingly and knowingly robbed and deceived consumers and he doesn't even bat an eye. Shows you who this guy really is.
What an ass Randy Pitchford turned out to be.
