Gamespot link.
There's a seven minute video and decent article on Gamespot but I'll try to provide a tl;dr. The next game is set between Borderlands 1 and 2 (hence the name "pre-sequel") and is being developed by 2k Australia. The most interesting thing is this is not a PS4/Xboxone game, this will be on the PS3/Xbox360/PC. The four playable characters are ones that have been seen before and include: Claptrap, Nisha (Sheriff of Lynchwood in BL2), Wilhelm (if the name sounds familiar, he's also from BL2 and was a big robot but is more of a cyborg in this game), and Athena (Crimson Lance member seen in BL1). The game's setting is Pandora's moon and there will be lower gravity and an oxygen meter, which introduces new mechanics and will come into effect when you're outside on the surface. Another new thing is a new type of ammo that allows you to freeze enemies. Game is expected to be out this fall.

I'm happy it's coming out. My thoughts are:
1. If it's not going to be as big as Borderlands 2 (which I cant imagine it will be), I hope it's not $60
2. If it's not going to be as big as Borderlands 2, why couldn't this be DLC?
3. I have no reason besides my own speculation to think it won't be as big as Borderlands 2, so maybe I should shut up. -

Seems like a cash grab to me. Re-use the engine to strike while the iron is hot with a loyal fan base. Something has to make up for the Alien debacle. That is why it won't be on next gen consoles. Re use the same engine, create 4 new characters with new skills (Claptrap, OMG OMG OMG have to buy it now), add low gravity environments, a long campaign with undoubtedly a full plethora of DLC, and cash in the cheques.
I'm not going to play. I thoroughly enjoyed BL2, but got fed up with the legendary loot drop rates (farmed Bunker 50+ times and didn't get the B!tch smg or any of the custom heads), and the fact that teramorpheous was cheap as hell and nearly impossible solo. Didn't even get any of the DLC and have no interest in it. Not even when it was a steam sale item.
Happy looting!
PS. Serious about the Claptrap thing. You'd be surprised how many people have Claptrap or even BL tattoos. Really... -

Pre-sequel. So, then just Borderlands?

Haven t seen anything on Isolation. -
Probably not as exciting as a new game on next-gen instead of something very close to BL2 on current-gen, but I'll still mess around with it. I played BL1 solo then me and a friend did all of BL2 together and it's fun just going through a game together, will look to do the same with this game.

Sounds like a game that won't be worth playing until it's 10 or 20 bucks.
I'm playing Borderlands 2 now and loving it. Paid $6.99. :shifty: -

/me looks at the 191 hours that Steam has him on with Borderlands 2 and thinks he's all bordered out.

Despite Anthony Burch's recent Twitter stupidity, I'm playing the Pre-Sequel just because I got a free Steam code for it.
