Gearbox boss and head Randy Pitchford was clearly overjoyed to showcased Borderlands 4 with the gameplay reveal it acquired at The Sport Awards 2024, and that reveal has given followers of the collection a lot to speak about.
Which is strictly what they’ve been doing, and whereas Pitchford in fact isn’t policing any discussions, he’s attempting to assist followers use the proper phrases, and context, for what’s to return.
For instance, Pitchford wouldn’t name Borderlands 4 an “open world” sport, as a result of, in accordance with him, “the time period comes with plenty of baggage that doesn’t apply. You’ll see,” he mentioned in response to a Borderlands content material creator that referred to as Borderlands 4 ‘open world.’
However despite the fact that the time period ‘open world’ doesn’t apply to Borderlands 4, Pitchford and the Gearbox group made a transparent choice to try 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 referred to as “extra compartmentalized.”
No matter Borderlands 4 finally ends up being, after the frustration that was Borderlands 3, veteran followers are in all probability happier to listen to the group has at the least made some decisions that flip away from what Borderlands 3 was.
