'Borderlands' Has 3,166,880 Different Weapons

MTV Multiplayer writes:

"Randy Pitchford, the president and founder of Gearbox, was walking us through the single-player campaign when he was hit by a need to show off a particularly cool gun. Jumping into a debug menu screen, he was able to select a few parameters to find just the sorta gun he was looking for. In this case it was a rocket launcher with the description, "Holy sh*t, it shoots rockets!"

The debug menu was fascinating, though, as it's basically a giant database of all the possible combinations of guns you can have, from sniper rifles with shock damage and a blue scope to uzis with flame effects and a red barrel. For each category the total number of possible guns was listed and, at the top, was the total number of guns that could be created with all the possible combinations.

That number was 3,166,880."

Jmlopezbr6137d ago

A perfectionist's nightmare ^_^

I wonder how many of those are pretty much the same as another gun though.

siyrobbo6137d ago

The GameFaqers are gonna have a hell of a time writing a guide about'em.

- How can I get weapon # 2.107.113?

JonnyBigBoss6137d ago

Lol. I found that pretty funny.

The game looks pretty good.

ThanatosDMC6137d ago

I wonder how balance will be. Most of the time there's the best weapons that everybody wants.

Jaces6137d ago

Why the hell do I need that many weapons?

ThanatosDMC6137d ago

After i saw more screenshots of the game, i'll wait for the reviews before i even think about getting the game.

Hip Hip Hooray for randomization

monkey nuts6137d ago

I reckon there'll be a trophy/acheivement for getting/creating a certain number of guns. And aslong as its not 3166880 count me in. :P

nycredude6137d ago

Whenever a developer starts spewing these kind of absurd numbers then it more than likely due to the fact that the games NEEDS this hype, sort of like what happened with Fuel. I hope this game turns out well cause I am kind of interested. But over 3 Million guns? Come on, it's freaking useless.

pixelsword6137d ago

make things dead.

At any rate, I'm glad you brought up FUEL because IT SUCKED.

Man, I can't actually believe I thought that game could be the first game to make me put Motorstorm down.

PinkUni6137d ago

and even if they do different things

doesn't mean the gameplay is going to be fun

every game gets boring eventually, unless its a mmo

terrandragon6137d ago

Keep in mind the game is still pre-release, and that number could go even higher.

ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that

Despite Borderlands Movie Flop, Series Saw Boost in Sales; Take-Two to Be Selective on Licensing IPs

Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.

"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"

Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.

Daeloki552d ago

No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)

RhinoGamer88553d ago

Polish a turd to make a what?!

DefenderOfDoom2552d ago (Edited 552d ago )

So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
