Borderlands 3 Announce trailer (PS4, Xbox One, Epic Games Store Exclusive for 6 months), coming September 13th 2019 [read staff post]
- Thread starter Rodjer
- Start date
What do you want them to explain? 'Yeah, game development happened'? Be glad that it's launching soon instead of whining that they used time to develop this game.
Discussion Guidelines
As a reminder...
Given the volatility in recent Epic Game Store related threads we have decided that some clearer guidelines are required to cultivate healthier discussion.
Official Staff Communication
Given the volatility in recent Epic Game Store related threads we have decided that some clearer guidelines are required to cultivate healthier discussion.
- Do not enter these threads in bad faith. If we conclude that your goal is to misrepresent the concerns of other users or rile people up, you will be moderated. Intent matters here. Honest questions or commentary about the differences and similarities between the Epic Games Store and other storefronts are fine. Deliberately and dismissively attempting to troll concerned members on those topics is not okay. These discussions must be held in good faith and in a civil manner.
- As a reminder, antagonizing or engaging in personal attacks on other members is still against the rules. We have a large community with a wide range of preferences and personal priorities. Not everyone will feel the same way as you do on any given topic. If you feel a post is breaking a rule please report it and do not respond with hostility. If you choose to engage do so politely. We always check to see which users have a history of trouble in this area.
- It is perfectly acceptable to want to wait for a game to be released on the storefront of your preference (ex: "I'll just wait for the Steam release.") It is not acceptable to troll threads because of storefront exclusivity timed or otherwise (ex: "So the real PC release is going to be a year later.") The latter is needlessly inflammatory and distracts from discussion. We will be scrutinizing these posts more closely going forward.
- Do not advocate, defend, or admit to piracy under any circumstances. This is explicitly against our Terms of Service. There are no justifications that will make this acceptable.
I've never played the games because everything about how literally any characters speaks turns me away from the games so fast. 2 especially. If this is going to be better on that front I'll definitely consider picking it up.
Oof, at least it's six months.
But even then I'm probably going to key sites, fuck this practise.
Still glad that BL3 is real though, it's been so damn long.

Regional pricing, it's all up to the publisher, not Epic. I've heard it's $30 in Russia.
I want them to tell me what's new in the game that wasn't in the previous ones. What's in this game that wasn't possible.
because an entire room of people were going to boo them for it
That crowd would've destroyed them. The reactions to Epic there were bad enough, imagine them announcing this.
The visual upgrade, a ton of new and varied environments, completely different characters and guns, the new story...
Like, obviously you will learn more about the game before it comes out. Looking for an apology because they took too long for you is strange. You can decide if the game is worth your money, how long it took is redundant. Maybe the studio just didn't crunch? Maybe they pursued other projects in the meantime?
They've already promised an event in a month with more information.
They split the release date so people in the crowd went 'YEAH BORDERLANDS 3!!!' instead of 'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EPIC BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'.
Waiting again for actual gameplay is just part of your typical marketing cycle.
Gearbox did a lot of work for Fortnite. Get out of here with that.
Give Tales from the Borderlands a try as your intro to the series then.
Randy said himself Gearbox had nothing to do with this decision.

Not surprised in the slightest. Wonder if Epic will be spiteful enough to not allow Epic users to play with Steam players after that version launches.

So, where are the benefits to the customers? Didn't the small cut mean the game would be cheap?
Also, $44 here. But I'm in LatAm.
That said, Metro was better in that regard. $20.
In for the $100 version on PS4.
Though I don't think I ever played through all of the DLC in BL2.

I remember missing out on Borderlands 2's Loot Chest CE, so I was thinking about getting the Diamond Loot Chest CE when it leaked last night. $250 seems like a bit too much for me imo, especially when there doesn't seem to be any actual pictures of the contents? I'll probably just get the Super Deluxe Edition. Still unsure if I want to go physical or digital.
People really need to check out the tech demo Randy showed off about the lighting. They went from UE3 to UE4. That takes time to learn. They also were working on other games between BL2 release and BL3 development. I doubt they've been working on this for 7 years.
Honestly? Not a chance. Let's remember the fact hat Epic is too proud to use STEAM logo in the import friends tab on EGS. This dumpster fire has been only lit.
