Borderlands has never been a graphic titan though I can't see the problem in crossgen for this game

Borderlands 3 heavily teased at PAX
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
I love me some Borderlands, but I sure hope they ditch the whole raid boss concept they like so much. Or, at least, tweak so they can be completed by one player. If I can play the whole game by myself, why am I forced to group with three other people to tackle a boss? Make it so the boss scales up and down depending on the amount of people playing, just like Diablo does.
They've already got like 3 releases planned this year, pretty doubtful it'll be any earlier than 2016.
Battleborn just isn't it...when they revealed it didn't look fun or nice seeing people here also not liking it when the gameinformer reveal with the trailer (that guy with a huge body and tiny head? lol). By comparison when Overwatch was shown by Blizzard that had my attention even more.
Borderlands is more loved so bring on Borderlands 3 i am ready!

Current Gen is PS4 and Xbox One.
But I think there will be a PC-version, too.
A 360-version would be nice, but I don't know if it's possible. Depends on the game.
It's far more than just graphics, though. A cross-gen game has to be designed for the lowest common denominator and that means having to deal with the very limited RAM of last-gen consoles, which then limits what you can do with level size and complexity, the amount of enemies you can have, etc.
Cross-gen sucks and shouldn't be tolerated.

I want this to come out just so I never have to fucking hear the word Destiny ever again. Fuck that game.

The problem is the speed of the RAM. GDDR-5 RAM is so much faster than the RAM of the 360. The CPUs of PS4 and X1 are a bottleneck, but if there are 30 fps on PS4&X1 and 60 fps on PC as in The Crew, Far Cry 4 and AC Unity I'm fine with it.

That's hardly a relevant factor lol. MP focused games barely get hyped over here (and on occasions also get anti-hyped).

It'll probably be more than two years since the new consoles have launched by the time BL3 comes out. It's time for people to move on, and the only way you are going to get casual consumers to move over -you know the people who aren't willing to invest that heavily in the industry anyway- is by releasing games exclusivly on new systems with features that aren't achievable on older ones.
Now gimme BL3!
This is a bad post. I enjoyed BL1, but BL2 improved on it in almost every way.

BL2 was better than BL1 in just about every way possible to me. Probably put 40 hours into BL1...over 200 in BL2.

I wish they took time to mature the design and come with a real evolution for BL3, not another BL 2.5...
You're already disappointed even with literally zero information on the game?

Gearbox didn't even make the last game, so expect BL3 quality to be on par with the numbered titles. The Pre-Sequel was just a cash grab to keep the series in the spotlight.

And that's going to be sooooo hard to do, right?
I with you on that.
Yes, I think it will. Destiny is a very, very popular game and it's in the same genre as Borderlands.
It's going to be very tough for Gearbox.
I love your sense of humor!

That won't be hard if the game is good. BL2 was a massive success.

But the last game took place on the moon.
What.
All three Borderlands games are better than Destiny in my book. They also pump out DLC faster and better than Bungie could ever hope to. I also don't recall them needing any major updates to overhaul anything in the game. There's also the fact that they don't have an always online requirement. By default, they cater to a much larger crowd.
lol
If you finished BL2
They show multiple Vault on multiple planet, I guess that's a given.

I think Destiny has had a nice ride so far without any competition. Let's see if it can get away with being average when there's an alternative around.

Borderworlds?

Not really. General Knoxx was the only worthwhile DLC, whereas most of Borderlands 2's were great. The Pre-Sequel is a different story though. I don't understand what happened.

i just really liked the Halloween one from the first game.
Can't wait for the next Borderlands game released shortly afterwards named Borderlands The Pre-Threequel!
Yeah. The Halloween DLC was the highpoint of Borderlands 1 for sure. I sorta wish they made an entire game like it full of horror clichés.

The audience is different though (although there is some overlap)

Gearbox didn't make it.
The fact that Destiny is rated teen helps it quite a bit.

I think there is a lot of overlap. I was high on Destiny because I thought it would be an improved Borderlands. Some of main online personalities that I followed for Borderlands stuff now make lots of Destiny related content.

We'll be 2+ years in the current gen by the time this comes out, we're beyond being reasonable now.
Enough holding current gen back because people don't feel like buying new consoles. You have an entire library of games to enjoy, I want to enjoy games tailored to my console's specs. That is, unless you want to keep getting garbage ports like Dragon Age and Mordor made by other devs, in which case be my guest.
