GB: "Borderlands 2 will feature larger worlds with increased draw distances, according to GearBox's Scott Kester. He also confirms that the game will not feature seamless (streaming) loading but will be load based."
Take-Two: "We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns."
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."
Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse
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.
I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.
well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain
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).
it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game
but we'll see soon
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.
I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
One of the annoyances I had with Borderlands were the loading screens.
any improvement they can make will improve the game. Just don't slow up the action one of the leaked videos from gamescom shows very slow gameplay and one thing i loved about borderlands was its fast paced action
from the list of improvements i think gearbox understands how big of an IP borderlands is and by the time borderlands 2 come out both xbox360 and ps3's install base will be from 65-70 million so you launch borderlands 2 in september-october 2012 with all these improvements and we can get a game that can sell between 8-10 million compare to 3-4 million borderlands did
its my most wanted game of 2012 and coming in close 2nd is the last guardian
Tanir
the reason we loved it because it was something different a game with loot system that's done right. But i do agree with you that the game had major issues and you should read gameinformer issue gearbox have said they are working on fixing the game
the story will evolve like if you go to a mission and you fail the story will go on and than down the road that failure will come back to mess you up.
less loading times
NPC's that walk around do things talk to other NPC's
4 player co-op with less lag
more colored world and a bigger more diverse world
better vehicles controls
much much better missions less or fetch missions
a story which will be better than the 1st(if you played any dlc you know story got better in dlc so gearbox learned a lot)
so if they are only improving these things which they stated already that they are we will get a much much better sequel

gearbox only worked on DN for maybe 10months to just finish the game and get it our of the door and for all the bad its selling quite well(which is a joke in itself for such a bad game)
gearbox/2k own the DN IP and gearbox have said they will do proper DN games in future so let's hope for the best
They better not make the same mistake they made with Duke Nukem. I just can't believe the same people who brought me one of my favorite, most time consuming games also brought the worst video game known to man. Hopefully Gearbox is two different entities.
Too bad, since I ONLY play games free form loading! Witch is too say, I don't play games at all.
I'm not worried about loading so long as it's quick. Like other my fear is that they've slowed the game down too much.
