Not even getting my hopes up on anything involving this until it's actually confirmed.

1Victor29d ago

How many generations has been since HL3 rumors of in development or will feature X.
I’m getting old has it been 3+ gen since it’s coming next generation 😱

thorstein28d ago

The original code was written on a Vic 20.

The_Blue28d ago

Naw it's definitely being worked on in some fashion. They just got in a position like Rockstar in which they can take their sweet time.

OtterX30d ago

They weren't kidding when they said this would take half my life.

RaidenBlack29d ago

again, take away his^ drums ...

OtterX29d ago

You can alwaye count on me for terrible Dad jokes! 🙃🥁

Fist4achin29d ago

Seriously. Gordon's going to be moving about with a walker by the time we get to play it...

OtterX29d ago

He won't be a Freeman anymore, bc he'll be locked up in a retirement home!

Fist4achin29d ago

The notorious crobar will be replaced with a walking cane!

thorstein29d ago

Valve does not make games with the number 3 in them.

HL3 is not happening.

RaidenBlack29d ago

yep it'll renamed to Quarter-Life 1

OtterX29d ago

Oh boy, you just had your own drum violation! Somebody get this guy! 🚨 🥁🚨

iNcRiMiNaTi29d ago

They can always give it another name at the end like they did with Alyx

dveio29d ago

This is almost like 'H³ will use shaders and sound effects'.

jznrpg29d ago

Interesting but we have heard rumors for years. It’s sad that they print money selling games but for the most part stopped making them. They can take risks but don’t.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne41d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster300040d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan40d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius39d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot41d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake41d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot41d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B40d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake41d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B40d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack40d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal40d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack39d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.
