Gearbox is delivering a blockbuster loot shooter sequel with none of the baggage.
In today's special State of Play presentation, Creative Director Graeme Timmins and Senior Project Producer Anthony Nicholson showed off the deepest ever look at Borderlands 4's explosive, carnage-filled gameplay.
For dedicated Borderlands player, what is the vibe/take on this game? Pre-order worthy?
I was hoping for improved visuals, but it still looks last gen. Looks fun though, hopefully it's more borderlands 2 and less borderlands 3.
I personally think it looks pretty good graphics wise. Probably not the best example of a next gen game, but there's only so much you can do with that art style.
It does look slightly better visual wise compared to 3 but yea was expecting more as well.
Not pure tech wise but rather more artistic flourished elevating the cell shaded visuals even more.
What I dont understand is the poor frame rate in the gameplay ... UE5 strikes again, even for a cell shaded game?
It's just more Borderlands, for me that's a good thing. Looks like they've added to the more free flowing movement from the third game.
I don't know if I'd pre-order, I'll probably just buy it on release day.
Good news for looter-shooter fans: the eagerly-awaited Borderlands 4 will now launch more than a week earlier than originally planned.
The State of Play yesterday kinda confused me on this.
The B-roll footage looked way more fun, explosive, creative, and smoother (at 60fps) than the actual gameplay demo, which was in a flat-looking metallic icy area in 30fps and seemed very run-of-the-mill in comparison.
Considering the writing team is trying to avoid a specific kind of tone in their approach to the game, I wonder if it'll be more like the B-roll and those quick exciting moments, or the latter...
With a new, earlier release date on the horizon for Borderlands 4, could this be a hint as to when GTA 6 could be coming?
