Convincing people of how good this game will be was like trying to convince the public that guns don’t hurt people, people hurt people. Anyway, Gearbox Interactive recently had an interview in which they basically confirm everything we covered in our week-long hype machine, Borderlands Blend.
GameTrailers recently put up a new interview they conducted with Randy Pitchford, the president of GearBox Interactive – the same minds behind Halo on PC and Brothers in Arms. Now no one is denying the quality of the shooting mechanics that will be present in Borderlands, but everyone seemed to be skeptical about all the different gameplay mechanics being used in the game. Rest assured, though, Borderlands has everything Halo failed to deliver, all the multiplayer options you don’t get in Call of Duty and more guns than every Xbox 360, PS3 and past generation shooter game, combined. The game will sport persistent character development that you can take online or that can be used in system link and in split-screen offline play. There are tens-of-thousands of customizable vehicle parts that can be used to beef up your very own transport, and a huge variety of enemies, including giant behemoth bosses. Did I mention you can raid transports, battle across hazardous environments and that the world map randomizes every time you start the game over? Anyway, there are multiple character classes each with branching skill-trees and abilities, millions of items to collect, and you can even upgrade and customize your very own weapon. But look, you don’t have to take my word for it, you can check out the video interview from GameTrailers, below. Borderlands will be due out this October for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
