Borderlands 4 arrives on September 12 on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S and the Windows PC. I had the chance to play for a few hours during an overview session, and I liked how familiar it was.
The first -person role -playing role -playing game of the Looter shooting game is now $ 70 instead of $ 80 tweet previously floated by the CEO of Gearbox software, Randy Pitchford, this week. During a gearbox event in Novato, California, I also interviewed the creative director of the game, Graeme Timmins, on his goals for the game and the kind of characters we contradict. I will have more about it later.
This is the first major game that Gearbox fans have since obtained since Borderlands 3 was released six years ago in 2019. And it focuses on combat, booty and level of upgrade.
It takes place on a planet called Kairos, and the players assume the role of a safe hunter who must lead the resistance against a dictator named the timekeeper and his army of synthetic followers. The timekeeper has ruled Kairos for a thousand years.
Kairos has four distinct and transparent regions to explore: the fields of fields of fields, the freezing peaks of the terminus range, the broken lands of Burn de Carcadia, and finally the Dominion, the city of impenetrable fortress of the chronometer.
There is a lot at stake in this title, as Take-two acquired gearboxes In March 2024 for $ 460 million. It is a lot of money, although it is much less than up to $ 1.3 billion that the previous kissing owner paid. Here are my impressions of the start of the campaign and the world section of Fadefields Open.
The game has a transparent cooperative game and a practical hall, with few loading screens. Missions and awards are also fast. When you collect ammunition, you don’t have to click on each item. You move on it and everything you need takes place in your inventory. You don’t have to drop something by getting a reward and now it just makes your inventory in the reward center.
In the campaign, the fight is constantly. In Fadefields, it’s an open world, so you have to walk a lot to find the action. But you can easily jump into your vehicle at any time to get where you want to go.
The Fadefields arrive relatively early in the game, after finishing many tutorials. You meet characters like Rush in the Fadefields, and all of this is part of the friendly integration for the game. In the Fadefields, you can however do a side mission with Claptrap.
You always see familiar faces from the previous border. But you don’t need to have played at the previous Borderlands to play it. Fadefields in a way in a way. If you are lost at some point, you can press a button that brings up the echo path, which is the path to the next point of your mission.
The fight is quite standard, where I felt that I could succeed in the Fadefields with just my main weapon. You can also cross more easily. In addition to obtaining the vehicle at any time, you can also use your grapple or your glider. There are new action trees for the fray or the combat at a distance. You can send companions to attack or distract enemies: specters or harvesters. If there is a boss fighter, you can cause a number of spectra to remove it. If you have a lot of melee enemies, you can use harvesters to remove them.
Part of the plan to make the game more accessible was to create a brand new planet in Kairos. The timemaker has folded reality and kept the planet under control, but the thuggling characters disturb peace as they teleport to the world and reveal that there is more to reality than they have seen. The timekeeper begins to lose his super-torn socket.
It becomes a little more desperate. He is ready to do other harmful things to keep control. Bringing into the chests on the chests is a way to release the population.
I found that the maneuver was good. You can jump into the air, then keep the jump button to slide and land wherever you want. In fire exchanges, it is good to enter and get out of the blanket and send your spectrum or reaper when you have many enemies. Then continue to shoot until the battlefield is silent.
Overall, I liked the overview. After four major iterations, Borderlands knows what it is.
