Tales from the Borderlands

No discussion about the Telltale/Gearbox collaboration?

Looking forward to it.

I'm intrigued to see if it works.

How wouldn't it? It's just telling a story in the setting, yeah?

More or less. It just seems like an odd pairing, due to Borderlands being big on gameplay yet weak on story while Telltale products tend to be the opposite. Honestly though, Handsome Jack. That's all I need to know.

This did catch me by surprise, especially since Telltale does have two ongoing projects and is formulating a Game of Thrones game. Still interested to see what the take would be, seeing that I really like the Borderlands games.

I did see that there are some people surprised that Telltale is taking a goofy property, nevermind the times they did so with the likes of Sam & Max.

Two words: Handsome Jack.

Speculatin' time! Anyone else here think that this would take place between the two Borderlands games?

That would make sense. Explain Handsome Jack's backstory a little more, maybe even let us see his wife. And considering the fact that it says "Borderlands," plural, leads me to believe we might get to actually see planets besides Pandora.

I don't expect the story to leave Pandora any time soon. The series has been called Borderlands from day 1, and we still haven't left the non-homeworld of the Na'Vi.

But Borderlands doesn't refer exclusively to Pandora.

Additional details.

Oh good, I was afraid this got scrapped in favor of the Pre-Sequel. Not that I have a problem with that, I just want both. Which we're getting. So I'm good.

God, I want Rhys to be gay so bad. Dat smoulder. *shiver*

Apparently a trailer is coming out tomorrow.

And here it is!

And a response.

Episodic? Hmm, I'm usually pretty wary of those.

But this does look pretty fun.

I want.

That's Telltale's entire MO. It's worked for their last 3 games.

I just want a release date already!

Granted, Telltale usually release shortly after they make the official big announcement and stuff so...

It's already up for pre-order on Steam, with a release date of November 2014.

November 25th to be exact. I've never played a Borderlands game but I've been meaning to play one of telltale Games's series so I'm thinking of playing this one. That trailer was especially nice.

And it's out! Downloading now, haven't had a chance to play it. This works out well for me; I've been having trouble playing Dragon Age: Inquisition because of RAM concerns, so I can play this while I wait for that to come through.
