Gearbox boss and head Randy Pitchford was clearly overjoyed to showcased Borderlands 4 with the gameplay reveal it bought at The Recreation Awards 2024, and that reveal has given followers of the sequence lots to speak about.
Which is precisely what they’ve been doing, and whereas Pitchford in fact isn’t policing any discussions, he’s making an attempt to assist followers use the fitting phrases, and context, for what’s to come back.
For instance, Pitchford wouldn’t name Borderlands 4 an “open world” recreation, as a result of, based on him, “the time period comes with quite a lot of baggage that doesn’t apply. You’ll see,” he stated in response to a Borderlands content material creator that known as Borderlands 4 ‘open world.’
However regardless that the time period ‘open world’ doesn’t apply to Borderlands 4, Pitchford and the Gearbox crew made a transparent choice to attempt to make Borderlands 4 really feel way more open than earlier video games.
“Borderlands 4 is essentially the most open and free ever,” Pitchford informed GameSpot in an interview that went stay alongside final month’s trailer. A alternative made on to get away from what Borderlands 3 was like, which Pitchford known as “extra compartmentalized.”
No matter Borderlands 4 finally ends up being, after the frustration that was Borderlands 3, veteran followers are most likely happier to listen to the crew has a minimum of made some selections that flip away from what Borderlands 3 was.
