Borderlands 3 Trailer Released; Here's What We Think
<p dir="ltr">Gearbox has <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/borderlands-3-announced-with-first-trailer-at-pax-/1100-6465879/">finally confirmed</a> the existence of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/borderlands-3/">Borderlands 3</a>, and even revealed <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/borderlands-3-finally-announced-with-first-trailer/1100-6465879/">a new trailer</a> for the long-awaited sequel to one of the studio's most beloved franchises. In the video above, GameSpot video producer Jean-Luc Seipke and associate editor Jordan Ramée voice their impressions of the new trailer after watching it.</p><p dir="ltr">Fans of the original <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/borderlands/">Borderlands</a>, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/borderlands-2/">Borderlands 2</a>, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/borderlands-the-pre-sequel/">Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel</a>, and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/tales-from-the-borderlands-a-telltale-game-series/">Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Series</a>, both Jean-Luc and Jordan are happy to see several beloved characters return in the trailer for the new game. Most notable is an adult Tiny Tina, who was still 13-years-old in Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, but the return of characters from Tales from the Borderlands is a welcome surprise. There are plenty of other familiar faces as well, such as Sirens Lilith and Maya (the latter of whom is now sporting longer hair), Ellie, Marcus, and Sir Hammerlock.</p><p dir="ltr">Although the sight of so many beloved Borderlands characters is nice, both Jean-Luc and Jordan are wary of just how little the Borderlands 3 trailer touches on the franchise's strongest points. The characters' hilariously ludicrous dialogue is absent, and there's little individuality in regards to the new heroes and villains. Jean-Luc and Jordan are also a little worried that the environments in the trailer all look a little too much like Pandora. If Borderlands 3 takes place on multiple worlds--as Borderlands 2 implied and the new trailer claims--then the people and places in this new game should be fairly different from what's been seen before.</p><p dir="ltr">Obviously, with this being the very first look at Borderlands 3, neither Jean-Luc or Jordan are ready to condemn or praise the game--especially not before they can get their hands on it. As is, after watching this trailer, they are optimistic Borderlands 3 can carve out its own identity in the now loot shooter heavy market.</p><p dir="ltr">Borderlands 3's announcement was accompanied by the reveal of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/borderlands-goty-remaster-releases-next-week-with-/1100-6465878/">an enhanced Borderlands GOTY Edition</a> coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC. A <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/free-borderlands-2-pre-sequel-update-adds-4k-graph/1100-6465897/">free update</a> is also being released that adds 4K graphics to <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/borderlands-the-handsome-collection/">Borderlands: The Handsome Collection</a>--a bundle of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel--which is also available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.</p>
