Borderlands was an amazing success. For an ugly game with dodgy controls and a weird story the game struck a chord with many players for its Diablo like look system, RPG like numbers and, crucially, 4 player co-operative play. Since then the series has evolved – but has kept those key and core tenants intact to differentiate itself from the competition. Destiny has since arrived to try and take those to a bigger scale, but the humour and personality of Borderlands has kept it individual and unique.
But where does the series go from here? Does it double down on what it has? These larger environments, with a great art style and a dash of humour? Or does it go bigger? Does it go for even bigger, open spaces, more of an MMO type feeling to the whole thing? Bigger groups? PvP? Raids and dungeons? Whatever they do I am excited for the next chapter.
