Gearbox making a run for Borderlands

I've been waiting on this game for too long!!! (However, I hope they do these few things before release):1. Put in another character. It's a 4-player co-op game with 3 characters...uhhh...2. Lotsa magic powers. Don't make me be Lilith only because she's got magic! 3. A few close range weapons. I like guns 'n all, but I prefer swords. AND 4. A split-screen co-op mode! I like playin' Live, but I wanna play with my bro and sis, too!!! (Would a guest sign-in feature hurt, either?)

I still want that fully automatic sniper rifle that fires homing poison darts. Get the damn game done already!

Here are some quotes from the developers of Borderlands from Game Informer. "You can take every shooter in this entire generation on the Xbox 360, all of the waepons that everyone of them has, add them all together and this game has more - Two orders of magnitude more." -Randy Pitchford "We're building this game from the start as a co-op game that you can play by yourself." -Matthew Armstrong

GI says It'll have 500,000 WEAPONS! HOLY F***!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is kinda crazy for a shooter with great graphics. Hopefully it won't feel like all the guns handle the same, or make the same noises. That might ruin the awe of such a high number just a little bit.

This game looks nice. :)

Auto Assault was also a post-apocalyptic driving-shooting game. It didn't do so well. But it's not the setting so much as how the game is implemented that determines success.

Looks nice. I'll be sure to kep an eye on this title.

Sounds great. Action-RPG/FPS hybrids tend to be getting more common and popular today.

a lot of post-apocalyptic games coming out,cool.nice to see some new IP's for us gamers Fallout 3 in particular looks very nice.

Cool. it's nice to see some new ip's coming.

an rpg AND a shooter. sounds great!

Nice to see theres a PC version :)

I Really like Gearbox as a developer so far. Everything they have came out with has been rather interesting to play and from the looks at what they have been working on they seem like a company that could put the states gaming franchise on the map... I can't wait to see how they do in the future of gaming...

its seems cool,and might actually be good and i hope they avoid Fallout 3 when the eventually release or else no one will even notice it even came out

If it is anything like the movie The Road Warrior, it will rock your face off.

a role playing game when you could be shooting at the stealthy beastly aliens? wtf?

Since it is Gearbox, I guess it is worth watching.

sounds differnt, I will be watching it

One more thing to add if it is a timed exclusive which is not yet known i can wait.

Is this the same as this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Borderland_Series ? Cause if so, BADASS. I loved those books. I hope they don't pull a Shadowrun, though.

looks like fallout 3 mixed with rez evil 3(movie) setting

you're right SporkFireXPS, Gamespot has the 360/PC versions marked as TBA and the PS3 version marked for Q4 2007

jop360, Only the PS3 version of Haze has been confirmed. If it comes out on the Xbox 360 it will be later in 2008. Here is an article posted in the Official Xbox Magazine. "The Haze saga took another twist as Ubisoft removed it from the Xbox 360 release schedule the publishers sent out." "No sooner had Ubisoft sent out a release schedule for their forthcoming games, an amended one was sent out soon afterwards with Haze only listed as a PlayStation3 release. "Note that Haze is only confirmed for the PS3," said a Ubisoft UK PR. "Neither PC or Xbox 360 are confirmed platform releases.""

Borderlands sounds like it will be an awesome game and I can't wait to play it. I plan on buying Borderlands, Rage and Fallout 3 as well as the above-mentioned Halo 3.

Brilliant an RPG will be much better than RAGE which isnt (i think?)

Hummlooks cool, but im going to read up on it before i say anything about but as far as 814StopsToday, Halo went into production way before that peice of crap Haze game. Either way Haze is coming out for both the ps3 and the 360 so w/e

Shadow of Chernobyl, Fallout 3, Metro 2033, Rage, Clear Sky, and now Borderlands. I wonder if there will be time to play all of these games before the world ends. I hope so...I need all the practice so I can get my Mad Max on when Obama provokes Pakistan into nuclear war. I have to say the swarm of apocalypse games is a breath of fresh air after the toxic flood of gangsta crap we had to live through last year.

interesting

looks cool!

Wow, there are a lot of dystopia, or scifi shooters / rpg hybrids are in development. Can't wait to see it's first trailer. Im still waiting for BIA:HH from GearBox.

It sounds awesome.

Gearbox is a very talented developer,Brothers In Arms is a fantastic shooter that was refreshing for something set in WW2.Hell's Highway looks up to par with their standards,and hopefully this new game and the Aliens game will be too.Rage looks cool,but the story doesn't seem to have much depth to it while Gearbox is known for making very deep and engaging games,so maybe their project will be better than ID's Rage game.Also,guys,keep in mind that the only reason that they have this many games simultaneously being developed is because they have expanded their company into several development teams.But the team working on this game is in fact the same team working on Hell's Highway,if you read the article it said once they are done with BIA: Hell's Highway that they will go full steam ahead on this next project as opposed to now when they are just brainstorming and placing in some ideas.Anyways,I hope this game lives up to it's potential because Gearbox is definitely a respectable developer.

Looks great. Can't wait for more info.

Yeah haesuse, I agree, with small worries about developers streching themselves thin. After all we want the games to be Good. On the topic though, the concepts for Borderlands and Rage are intriguing. Oh Yeah, and Haze, which looks sweet, did announce its plans on the 4 player before Halo and others.

postapocalyptic is the most fun way to do an RPG in the future

This sounds pretty cool.

wow! i haven't seen this many (PC, 360, PS3)'s linked to so many promising-sounding games in a long while.

Brothers in Arms has been very good to Gearbox, in terms of revenues. They've been able to expand the size of their team(s) for new contracts like Aliens. You can't suddenly pull twice the amount of next-gen games out of yer bum without fortifying the ranks. Then again, who can say how talented the new teams are? Growth can be tricky.

"ShadowJinx uh..."mad maz meets diablo" sure sounds a whole lot like fallout 1 and 2." uh.. in what way does fallout 1/2 resemble diablo at all other than the isometric view. its not even close to the same gameplay

Looks cool, GearBox is one ofthe most underappreciated developers. Can't wait to learn more about it.

yeah i agree, wait and see. i mean in the sea of hack and slash Diablo style games, its nice to see titles such as Borderlands and Hellgate: London but in all honesty, for me, there is only room for one game like that, so time will tell! in other notes, did anyone pay attention that these guys are maybe developing too many games at one and just a side note, they all might come to be crap if they stretch themselves too thin?

First post-apocalyptic stop: Hellgate London.

Well we have to w8 and see !

They really need to finish one game before spreading out like this.

Do we really need another Action RPG?

uh..."mad maz meets diablo" sure sounds a whole lot like fallout 1 and 2.

sascha23 You should update this article to note that Haze will also boast 4-player co--op. --------------------- I was thinking the exact same thing, Haze announced it first, why does Halo 3 get the glory

Icarus405 "F3, then Rage and now this!? Post Apocalyptic Games seem to be popular now" lol i agree i guess its where the moneys at

When will this come out? In a year? Two?

You should update this article to note that Haze will also boast 4-player co--op.
