Bungie and Sony are currently in early discussions with 2K and Gearbox about remaking the original Borderlands as a Destiny-style looter shooter. From what I’ve been told, the project was pitched as an open-world game just like BL4 and seasonal paid content, with plans to move away from the traditional main characters in favor of semi-customizable protagonists, similar to the system used in Destiny and Borderlands 4. If the deal goes through, Gearbox would also develop a remake of Borderlands 2 as a limited-time exclusive for the PlayStation 6.Source: A colleague who works in Business Development at 2K.
They fired half of Bungie for this?
>AIDS, Cancer and Ebola linked up
fuckin yikes.
As a shooterfag I should like borderlands more than I do but there's just too much bullshit in the way, hopefully bungie can make it work
>>743106139Cancer just added more cancer
>>743106139the first borderlands has stylized graphics/art that kind of design doesn't always need a remake and I'm not sure making it an open world game is really needed or warranted.I might be tempted to play it as my buddy and I loved borderlands 1/2, but I never cared for destiny. Borderlands just seems like a dying IP, sadly. Hopefully they don't force tiny Tina into borderlands 1 because she was incredibly annoying, even in 2 which was her debut game.
>>743106139SuperAIDS 2 just dropped
>>743106139Revive Killzone or Resistance? Nah.
>>743106139>Bungie abandoning Marathon to actively kill the loot shooter genre as a wholekek
>>743106139This will save our dying brands
>Borderlands remakeUh why?
>>743106717>hopefully bungie can make it workWhen's the last time you played a Bungie game? They've been laying off anyone with talent every year for the past 4 years.
>>743106139They can't create anything new.
>>743106139i believe it mainly because randy would go along with something this retarded
>>743106139>trusting bungie to help develop more games>making bungie work on borderlandsThis is either gonna be as bad or way worse than marathon
>>743106139>Gearbox would also develop a remake of Borderlands 2 as a limited-time exclusive for the PlayStation 6.So they want jack the handsome to live in the remake?
>Kills Destiny to make a Borderlands remakeThat's so retarded, I believe Bungie would do this.
borderlands is a series that nobody asked for yet it continually persists. who asked for it? who plays it?
>>743107373It sells, somehow.
>>743106139Wow. There are genuinely very few games I could imagine wanting to play less than that. Its almost impressive
>>743107373>who asked for it?Reddit>who plays it?Reddit
>>743106139I wholeheartedly couldn't be paid to play Destiny with Borderlands skin
>>743107209Marathon is fun
>>743107428It doesn't anymore. Borderlands 4 is a massive flop.
>>743106139I always thought the best way for bungie to save their asses would have been to make a solo/co-op borderlands clone with destiny's story/mechanics/aesthetic, whether they combine parts of D1 and D2 or make a new story wouldn't really matter, it'd beat trying to make a full blown D3 live service the idea of borderlands 1 being remade by bungie doesn't seem great to me even as a borderlands enjoyer
>>743107649Good one
I liked Borderlands 1's bleakness. 2 fucked it up but Jack did his best. 3 fucked it up harder. Never even tried 4.
>>743107701Yeah it is a good game :)
>>743107802+1 lux has been added to your account
>>743106139if they make melee Brick good this time, I shall let this game exist.
>>743107649Rape is fun but getting raped is a lot of fun too, if not even more sot, 250+ hours in Marathon
>>743106139I would rather have Gearbox themselves make that kind of game instead of Bungie.
>>743108008Welcome to extraction shooters
Joe Staten would be pissed.The version of Destiny he worked on in 2013 was a Borderlands Meets Halo thing, where it's more goofy and comical than Halo, but it has the mythology and religiously themed backstory like Halo, where there were many cutscenes and it had a cinematic campaign, but it also had all the other cool shit like Raids and WoW-lite stuff, but it just wasn't geared around a constant MMO-Shooter vibe, like it became when Luke Smith and others rebooted the campaign after firing him.There were leaks back then from Playtesters who said the game they played just a year out from release had completely different storytelling and vibes, and you saw a glimpse of it at E3 2013https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtcO4ptp2j8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ieir3xa8KDo
>>743107373It got enough for a sequel, but that was also at least partially funded on diverting Aliens CM funding from Sega into it. But to be honest, looter shooters are a funny genre where there's still probably no definitively good game to come out of them.
>>743108008>but getting raped is a lot of fun too, if not even more soAh I see your a fellow bungie game enjoyed aswellt.10000 hours in destiny 1 + 2 combined
Ngl when they changed Borderlands to that cell shaded kiddy stuff my 11 yo brain had some kind of psychosis. It was my msot anticipated game ever, all based on that e3 gameplay
>we're gonna make borderlands WORSE!true if big
>>743106139>playstation console exclusiveDidn't Sony say live service games would be on both Playstation and PC, while single player games would be completely exclusive?
and why would 2k choose to give their IP away like that?fake as shit
>>743106139I don't see who asked. As a looter shooter, BL 1/2 where way better than anything Destiney 1/2 ever produced. Bungie are shit devs nowadays.
>>743106139I believe this completely
>>743106139That's stupid enough to be something that Sony would consider a good idea.
>>743107373The genre of diablo but fps is extremely underserved so borderlands is the game to scratch that itch for many.
>>743107649Marathon is fun as long as you don't play it, 80k players can confirm that.
Haha good bait Anon I almost punched my wall!
>>743106139Sony doesn't know what they are doing/
Imagine playing Borderlands but you can only play one story mission once per week.
>>743106139This is like forcing capcom to make a god of war game, what the fuck.
