Goro Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) We're still fairly early into the 3-hour VGX Show on Spike, and they've already made their first big "mystery" announcement. And that announcement is: Telltale is working with 2K games to make a Borderlands game. http://youtu.be/8YDlPe6lMSc I have to say, this announcement is pretty surprising, actually.

Mog Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I don't like the fact that Telltale is working on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mayus Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 i was literally just thinking (as I curse the terrible game design that is Borderlands) how this series could have spawned a sequel...and then they announce another one. Hey Telltale there are good gaming IPs not doing anything. How about making an Eternal Darkness sequel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lilith Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Patrick-S Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Seems like a rather bizarre combination but I'm a big fan of Telltale so I'll remain cautiously optimistic, though I wish they would stay focused on The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead Season 2 for now they already take long enough between episode releases as it is.

antithesis Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I don't like the fact that Telltale is working on this. I do like the fact that Telltale is working on this. It took them the better part of a decade to get their shit together, but the last few Telltale games have been great. A story-focused BL game would be a nice counter-balance to the action-heavy FPSRPGWTFBBQ. Taking the franchise out of Randy's hands for a year or two might teach that fucker to stop using finances meant for another game (Aliens) to fund his own projects (BL2). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Tron Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) It's a rather bizzare combination, don't you think? Nonetheless, Telltale has been doing really good with The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. I don't think it'll be a bad game, It's just bizzare to put "Telltale" and "Borderlands" in the same sentence. I honestly would've prefered that the rumored Game of Thrones title became a reality instead. I love Borderlands and Telltale, but Telltale has always written serious stories. Borderlands just keeps making refrences to memes. Guess we'll just have to see how it turns out, but I'm cautious of this one.

Connie Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I am actually quite interested in this game, 2 great companies coming together? Hopefully it all works out because it might be a top tier game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antithesis Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) It's a rather bizzare combination, don't you think? It looks like a great fit to me, particularly in terms of the cel-shaded art style. Telltale will more or less be making a game out of the BL2 cutscene assets and they'll be supported by Gearbox (based on their logo appearing in the trailer), so they should do a bang-up job. Telltale has always written serious stories. What now? Since when were the Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Strong Bad, Wallace & Grommit and Back to the Future franchises serious stories?

damon8r351 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Taking a popular game series, jamming it into another gaming format, and hoping it works well pretty much always ends in tears. Unless you're Mario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamepartnersTV Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'll give this game a shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDRAG-K Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 So I assume it will be a Borderlands game without the Borderlands gameplay (you know, the fun part of Borderlands). No thanks, I'll watch to see what the story is about, but I have no interest in playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Chile Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I trust Telltale implicitly and I haven't disliked any of their adventure games in such a time that I can't remember ever disliking any of them. I can't wait. The other announcement on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarPhantom Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Yeah, Telltale totally aren't biting off more than they can chew. Seriously, that's like, 4 projects they've got on the burner right now, unless I'm mistaken. Still waiting on The Wolf Among Us Episode 2, buddies...

KratosTheMighty Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Trading up a game that rely's mostly on it's gameplay, for a game that rely's mostly on story elements.... Not sure how that's going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah huge boring worlds, same enemy over and over, pointless collectables, a terrible menu system, a horrible map system, the worst driving controls since Big Rigs...I can see why you would want to hold on to that.

I take it you're talking about the first Borderlands. It did have bland levels and boring enemies as well as a bad map/menu. All of it was greatly improved in Borderlands 2. Borderlands 2 was the most fun i've had in a multiplayer fps this gen, Borderlands 1 was... Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Im talking about #1 but this game failed so hard I would never want to play anything else by the developers again. In fact with DNF and Aliens on their resume I dont know why people let Gearbox near videogames at all :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really boring, especially the crimson raiders stuff. I only bought number 2 because I tried it out at a friends house. I don't know about Gearbox's other games, but as long as they keep Borderlands fun like it was in number 2 i'll buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyCola Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I really like the borderlands universe and telltale so I'm definitely looking forward to this. hopefully it doesn't take too long to come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtrIAItDeIete Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I usually wait for all the episodes of tell tale games to release before picking them up, but I'll be all over this asap. After watching 'meat bicycle for two' I was hoping for a Borderlands series or short film. This is the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
