Borderlands 3 Info/Rumours/Leaks roundup.

Forgot about this.
So, this game of the year edition, is that for Borderlands 1? Its amazing that this game was left out of The Handsome Collection
Yeah, this is kind of where I'm at - I loved BL1 and 2 (didn't dive as deep into TPS), but I enjoyed playing as those characters - I get balancing could be a huge mess, but it feels a waste to have them be relegated to story beats - BL2 suffered some (IMO) from that.
The new melee siren sounds fun (although Maya and Lilith both had semi-viable melee builds, Maya moreso than Lilith), but I'd want to see them expand the docket of possibilities given that it's been so long since 2 and TPS.
I really hope they do Tales from the Borderlands justice. It is by far my favorite Borderlands game (I say that as someone who loved BL2 and poured 80+ hours into it). The fact that it'll never get a sequel is a crime :( Gimme some Loader Bot

Randy has mentioned that if required they will adjust the events of Tales from the Borderlands. Take from that what you want.
Siren being melee focused is lame. Played as a Siren the last two games and planned to do that for this one too but going by those descriptions I think I'll go the mech one or the pet user.
Did you play ultimate Vault hunter mode in 2 and the presequel, that's what that was. And it got super hard, you litterally couldn't invite people to high level because even like 1 or two level scaling would kill you and the mode was sorta built for co-op. Then there were the OP levels after that
Very interesting info. Was not aware we had that much leaked info for BL3. Also really curious to see what that "DLC" for BL2 and the Pre-Sequel ends up being.
I wonder what the price of that BL1 GOTY edition will be. I've been itching for some BL recently and it's been awhile since I played the first. Can't be no more than $40 right?

Hadn't known about all these rumors, they sound great though!
I'd love a Borderlands 1 remaster especially. A bit bummed about it only being rumored to be XB1/PS4/PC (I'd kill for it on Switch), but I'd get it no matter what.
Maybe if they added melee weapons as loot pickups it would be different, but until then I just don't have much fun with them.

Yeah, melee focused characters aren't my favorite in Borderlands, a game where one of its biggest feature is its bagillion guns.

Siren and melee-focused? My two favorite playstyles in Borderlands combined into one? And she is the only one the image cut out? COME ON.
Oh god, that Hunter dude looks amazing.
OH MY GOD TANNIS WAS THE BAD GUY ALL ALONG AND WAS PLAYING DUMB.
OH MY GOD I WANT BORDERLANDS 3#@JU@#JUF@JF@

Oh well if you ever get a chance , its what you are looking for
Its just hard as shit
I hope they'll take a bit of inspiration from the new looter shooters that appeared since Borderlands 2. Notably I'd like more group content like raids or something.
There were raids in BL2. Giant boss fights designed for a full group. Multiple ones with DLC included. Some of the harder horde modes in the DLC practically needed a group to survive as well.
I'm thinking something more designed with group mechanics like Destiny raids.
Technically all of D1's raids could be soloed as well, but I see what you're saying.
D1's Raids are so much more complicated than Borderlands' alleged "Raid Boss" that it's not even funny. To solo the Vault of Glass is next to impossible unless you're one of the best Destiny players, period, and even then, Atheon isn't beatable alone (you need at least three people). Crota's End is far more doable solo thanks to the fact that it's a badly designed Raid (more closely resembling The Shattered Throne dungeon from D2 Forsaken), but it still requires a lot of cheesing to get through (such as the sword skip, which to my knowledge is no longer possible, rendering CE impossible to solo). The Taken King isn't possible to solo, given how many of the encounters are designed, and while the final boss of Wrath of the Machine is beatable alone, most of the encounters in that Raid are not.
Borderlands takes a regular enemy, increases its size by 200%, gives it a ludicrous amount of health, and calls it a "Raid Boss". There's so little in the way of actual mechanics with any of these encounters. Dragon Keep and the vanilla "Raid Boss" from Pre-Sequel are about as involved as you can get within the confines of the game's mechanics, and it still amounts to little more than platforming to avoid attacks.
They are soloable, and it's incredibly easy to do, especially if you're a Gunzerker or Psycho, but none of the characters are particularly bad at soloing "Raid Bosses". It's just that those two in particular are really well-suited to it.
There is a persistent rumor that at least one TPS DLC was in production and was canned after TPS underperformed and 2K Australia got killed. This is supposed to be one of the unreleased DLCs.
I need my Borderlands fix so bad. More BL2 DLC would be amazing, along with TPS. It'd be great if we could transfer previous generation game saves for the Borderlands: GOTY Edition, like with the Handsome Collection.
Tannis being a villain for BL3 would also be pretty amazing. Colleen Clinkenbeard did such a great job voicing her.
That would be fantastic, I was really disappointed when the DLC was cancelled. 'Luxy's Space Adventure?'

Yeah Luxy's Space Adventure. It had some sick concept art and a new Raid Boss
I've always heard that 2K Australia was killed not because of any issues with the game or its sales, but because 2K didn't like having to pay Australian wages and wanted to move game development to cheaper-slash-closer regions. It was essentially the death knell for Australian AAA, frustratingly.

I don't think we're gonna see Borderlands 3 this year but I'd looooooooove to be wrong.
Man Borderlands 2 and The Presequel were great. First one was great too, but not as good as 2 for me.

Woah dlc for borderlands 2? I'd be down for that as it justifies my purchase of the pc version. I'm also cautiously hyped for borderlands 3 as those leaked details sound awesome but I'm scared of the possibility that the game gets filled with MTX and paid lootboxes.

It's already had at least 1 delay. 4 years of dev time. Is targeting this gen and is on the investor reports as coming Fiscal 2019 which is this year unless they release it before march in 2020. I'd say it's looking like a very strong possibility this year.
No worries. :)
Yeah, Take-Two positioning it as its big Q4 release seems like a safe bet.
Wow, I had no idea this much info had leaked about it. Played the crap out of the first two games, looking forward to playing more with friends. Just make loot instanced this time. All the shared loot did was force people to use a duplicate glitch.
Yeah, they went too hard on it. UVHM where you just beat the final boss in the last difficulty and the lowliest...anything can damn near 1 shot you and those are the level appropriate mobs. The bulletsponginess of the early game just ain't fun while you can be shredded like paper with the slightest breeze is more frustrating than anything.

I wouldn't worry too much. The Outer Worlds is being published by Take2 and is free of any kind of MTX and Randy had the following to say on the subject
UVHM and by extension the OP levels are built around having thought out character builds. If you did have these UVHM really isn't that bad

hmmm....I never did the coop thing in Borderlands 2 with random guys. I was always paranoid that it would turn into a Diablo 2 loot situation were I couldn't pick up anything worthwhile.
It's awesome that the first Borderlands is getting remastered. Makes me wonder if they are gonna make another collection with all 3 games in one collection before BL3
