What's up with all the reactions I'm seeing similar to this?Polygon is a disappointment.
It's the first trailer, it looks good and the very fact that it actually exist is fantastic since Gearbox almost died with Battleborn.
People really like to shit on everything nowadays.
I couldn't disagree more.I want Borderlands 3 to be good, but for it to be good, it needs at least one or two new ideas.
ITS A BUZZWORD INTERIFICUM.......how the fuck is ray tracing going to improve a game with a completely cel-shaded aesthetic.
Except it's not a unique gameplay style/loop anymore, loot shooters are all the fuckin' rage.You dont HAVE to keep iterating on your gameplay loop esp if you have a game that has a unique gameplay style in the market.
Same people complaining would be the same people also complaining if a dev changed their gameplay loop too much from the original game.
Great game design is knowing when to put your foot on the gas and when to brake. You can't please everybody.
It's fuckin Borderlands
It's main appeals are its art and a billion weapons.
Also someone please post that BL1/2/3 comparison image.
If you had told me that this trailer was a fan edit that used scenes from existing games, I likely would have believed you.
Third is from a cutscene while the other two aren't. It's an improvement but still.
It's some peak lazy devs rhetoric but published in an actual article.
.......how the fuck is ray tracing going to improve a game with a completely cel-shaded aesthetic.
I mean, it is Polygon.Yeah. Maybe they never played past level 5 in all the other games?
Graphics looked way too similar to the older games imo. Maybe they should have pushed it to next-gen, so that they can use some crazy raytracing-hybrid rendering tech to make it look fresh.
I think what it lacked was a fresh, updated look.I'm sure the game will be great, but the trailer lacked a certain kind of energy. I was more interested in their Mask of Mayhem teaser than this actual trailer left me.
i thought that was IGN.I mean, it is Polygon.
They're known for not finishing games they review and being terrible at FPS titles. The math checks out.
the game literally looks like the game they released 7 years ago???
Thank you!Wow Polygon, amazing you could tell from the first video of the game that there is nothing new. So tired of all these articles about how someone is disappointed in something based off almost no information. If it ends up with nothing new and is just a half step up then fair enough. But nothing in the trailer gave that impression other than it looking like Borderlands.
Hyperbole is always better when you add extra question marks to really emphasize how much you're exaggerating.and that visually the game literally looks like the game they released 7 years ago???
Yeah, I mean - that image is nice, but this is how I feel as well.To be honest I don't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't jus this.
While there is an improvement in lighting and model detail, they could have done so much more with the materials.
Chief this ain't itBut after this lackluster trailer, I'd welcome news about a battle royale mode, because what else is there? This looks like another expansion, not a proper sequel to a major franchise.
