Gearbox: 'More To Do' With Borderlands

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has told NowGamer that there's more that can be done with co-op loot-and-shoot franchise Borderlands...

[Excalibur]

Bring it on, I love borderlands.

[schlanz]

I'd rather have a sequel than more DLC. There's a lot of tweaking to be done to take it from pretty good to really awesome.

[Excalibur]

I'd take either.
with Marcus actually saying that he was ready to take you to other worlds at the end of the Claptrap DLC a new piece of DLC could actually be on another planet.

[antz1104]

They could always do both.

But hells yeah, Borderworlds FTW!!!!

[Active Reload]

I remember not having the internet for like 3 weeks. In that time I fell in love with Borderlands.

[Christopher]

I don't honestly see the difference between DLC and a sequel if they were to use DLC to add new content and new class/skill options.

If they do a sequel, I hope they allow you to carry over your first character and raise the cap while adding whole new skill trees and at least one new class.

[skyward]

What improvements can they make? I could see Borderworlds being some sort of perpetual online co-op game - not quite an MMO, but more like Brink...

[antz1104]

I loved it, but they could definately improve the trading system for players during co-op: "Wanna see what I got? Here, let me drop it on the ground."

[Halochampian]

haha! So true!

And hope it doesnt go through the floor and spend the next ten minutes in the crouched position to try and find the exact spot it landed at.

Love Borderlands though

[TimmyShire]

To be honest, I'd be interested in an MMO Borderworlds, it just seems like a perfect world for it.

They still need to fix the voice chat on PS3, broken since launch.

[AssassinHD]

Voice chat worked for me just fine. I went through both playthroughs with a friend. The only time the voice chat ever cut out was during loading screens.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Same here, no issues ever

[Holeran]

Yep my voice chat only drops out during load times also which is to be expected. Other than that it works great.

[theonlylolking]

We need a bigger world, more variety of guns. Sure there were 1,000,000 guns but most looked the same. The 4 main characters should not say the same lines OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It also needs longer story mode, more quests, able to reach level 100, and multiplayer arena battles. If it needs 2 discs for the xbox then so be it if it needs to be better than the first.

[morventhus]

I agree... if the game needs more than 1 disc to be awesome they shouldnt hold back... and for all you people who say they cant cause it costs more money to have a game on 2 discs due to licensing or whatever... i have this to say... YOU GOTTA SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY!

[antz1104]

Agreed, Moxxi's underdome was a great concept; just not so great execution. If it saved per wave and you could have multiplayer arena battles that would be awesome.

[GigaGaia]

Gearbox listen to their customers. Since the customers want more DLC, it's obvious there is still gonna be one more coming.

[Lamarthedancer]

I hope they continue with the characters in the sequel. Theres a lot of character development that can be done which would make each character feel different while playing.

[Holeran]

I would love seeing Borderlands 2 with just a couple of tweaks but I'll take dlc if thats all we can get.

[trainsinrdr]

No make then next one im sick of having to get complete editions for games just so another will be released months later

[Kingdom Come]

I'm anxious as to what the trademarked title "Borderworlds" is for, is a sequel in the works? And if so is it an MMO title?

But, before we hear anymore of a sequel lets hope Gearbox set their consentration on the games yet to release that are currently in production, I've been waiting since 2008 for Alien Colonial Marines. And god knows how long we've all be waiting for Duke Nukem Forever...

Credit where its due though, Gearbox, like Bungie, do a fantastic job of supporting their community, the people want more, they get more.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Ok so this isnt entirely clear, are they implying more DLC or a sequel? DLC i would not support (as much i have loved it all, zombies was the best btw), i want a proper sequel.

[ijkabob]

Noooooooo there isn't... time for borderlands 2. I quite playing borderlands 1 after the forth craptrap mission.

Mission 1: get 30 craptrap parts.
Mission 2: get 60 craptrap parts.
Mission 3: get 100 craptrap parts.
Mission 4: get 150 craptrap parts.
Mission 5: get OVER 9000 CRAPTRAP PARTS.
*throws controller down* FUCK YOU GEARBOX!

Great game. I played the hell out of it, but theres not much more that i think can be done with it. Borderlands 2 would be appreiciated.
