Loved BL3 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, more so than 1 & 2. Looking forward to this.

 

[ahtlas7]

Inspired by the Borderlands movie quality.

 

[T-Cake]

The thing that makes or breaks the game for me is the vault hunters' skills. I don't really care what they look like, nor whether the story is awful but if the main skills are rubbish then I won't want to play. e.g. In Borderlands 1, I never played as Brick, 2 never played as Salvadore, TPS never played as Nisha. It would be interesting to see if other BL players have certain characters they never played as.

 

[Ceadeus]

I'm sure we have many big BL fans here including me and it was underwhelming. The "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" formula shouldn't have applied here. They could have let go of their comfort zone go all out in a reinvention of some sort. Why not a chaotic and massive multiplayer mode that include battle royale rules and vehicle combat like twisted metal. A place of complete chaos, a race to some of the best loot. That could be the required loot to get into the end game content or something.

 

[FeralEcho]

It looks....fine. The need to get back to fully cell-shaded like in the first 2 games,this "realistic" cell shading ain't working for me.

But just what is it with these terrible ass character designs in this entire industry. Are they racing eachother to see who can deliver the most bland and uninspired diversification!? It's become a parody of the joke it initially was.

Maybe that's the joke that we are all just not getting...like a perpetual punchline that doesn't hit and just gets more and more annoying with each new try.

 

[Zimmy68]

Happy to have more Borderlands.

 

[wizaga]

I really look forward to this one. Loved1, 2 and pre sequel. Borderlands 3 was ok but something felt lost from the previous games. Hopefully the developers found the magic that made those first games so good and infuse it in to this one

 

[Magic Carpet]

Let me guess the Siren in this game is Ava?

I'm still holding out hope Ava is the bad guy in this one.

I totally get the love for the previous entries. As the writing and stories were much better. But its the gunplay for me that I love in Borderlands. And 3 for me was much better. On console at least the controls felt a significant step up. And whilst not very nuanced, I enjoyed the haptics and adaptive triggers too. It also has excellent HDR.

I never return to BL2, but I'm always going back to 3. Not for the story, but the guns and how they handle.

I'm still holding out hope Ava is the bad guy in this one.

That works for me.

 

[sоlis74]

Looks great.

 

[RoadHazard]

Looks like Borderlands. I enjoyed the first two games, but eh. I don't really care for the visual style either.

 

[BigLee74]

Looks like every other borderlands they have brought out. Loved the first couple, but the others were very meh.

Will still likely play it in the hope of getting a gun that screams again

 

[EverydayBeast]

A lot of work was put into Borderlands 3 by Gearbox, things like equipment management, the guns, the alien worlds unfortunately it doesn't get recognized like a Call of Duty or recognized by the gaming community. I’m looking forward to BL4.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Should be fun. Love this series.

 

[EN250]

Characters look awful, but that's from BL3 so it's nothing that can be done at this point, as long as they dial down the milllineal le funny dialogues and constant yapping of every character it will be an improvement, BL2 reigns supreme tho

 

[squidilix]

I miss Borderlands 1 old days when the game what just an "Mad Max in other planet"

 

[MagiusNecros]

I miss Borderlands 1 old days when the game what just an "Mad Max in other planet"

I don't think we will ever get a Borderlands 1 ever again. It's atmosphere was just so perfect. And getting a great gun felt like an accomplishment. Trailer just tells me it's more Borderlands 3.

 

[Mercenary09]

My theory beforehand was that the Eridians was gonna return in this game and not be to happy with what we were doing to the vaults. Seems like i was right.

But yea the game does not look good. The Cell shading that once gave these games their identities is working against it now. And those new vault hunters are seriously cookie cutter.

Yuck at these characters

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I'm guessing soldier, siren, viking, and scout for the classes.
I hope it's good, just doesn't look that good. Playable cast looks the worst yet.

Funny, those three must be the ones I played the most in their respective games lol

Love it. Because they didn't have any "interesting" powers (they basically just upped their melee/gun attacks) I never had any interest in them.

 

[MagiusNecros]

If we get to farm Ava for loot to make her pay for killing off Maya then Gearbox will have redeemed themselves.

 

[Lokaum D+]

this already looks way better than 3, more "grounded",j ust look at 3 trailer reveal and you ll see the change in tone.

 

[T-Cake]

I particularly like the look of the Timekeeper and his robot army in that new trailer.

 

[peek]

hard pass for those LOL character designs! Like why?? Compare this 4man cast to borderlands 2... like come on now.

They look so uninteresting, drab, boring, and obviously created that way on purpose.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Grappling hook looks sweet. Loved that in Halo.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

watched it on mute
nothing really new, but BL3 was fun enough gameplay-wise

seems like theyre phoning it in
no advanced physics, no interesting new biomes, no big engine upgrades

The character designs are fucking garbage.

They're getting worse, and worse, and worse.

 

[Loboxxx]

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Huge Borderlands fan here. I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

[Kadve]

The character designs are fucking garbage.

They're getting worse, and worse, and worse.

I mean the first 3 looks fine. Even if i cant tell what the girl is supposed to be (another Siren? Haven't we found all by now?) and the guy on the left just looks like a Handsome Jack reskin. The only way they would get away with that girl on the right though is if she is a parody of modern female character design. And considered how hard Gearbox failed at parodying "influencers" with the last game. I doubt they succeed there.

 

[Camreezie]

Now this is slop

 

[ComputerBlue]

Is Jesper Kyd back?

 

[tylrdiablos]

I'll wait for it to be the Thursday freebie on the Epic Games Store.

 

[darth.shrimp]

People are saying the new Vault Hunters look like random NPCs because this might be a "create your own character" game, but this would go against their sorry excuse for a lore about the Sirens, so...
Although I guess having random Sirens start popping up everywhere, like the Psychic Awakening in 40k, could be interesting?

 

[Liljagare]

Looks lovely..

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Justine will definitely be infested with you know what....

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Looking forward to see more, so now the raiders in war with some alien race or something like that?

 

[Celcius]

To me BL3 still has the best trailers in the series:





But I like what they've shown so far and I'm looking forward to seeing more
