If an enemy is being shot at, others will draw fire and try to flank you. When there is a group of enemies, the AI team behavior will adapt based on the state of enemy health and the kind of weapons they are using. Enemies now move around more and do rolls to dodge your shots they’ll follow you anywhere where you can move both laterally and vertically. There’s still some kind of natural border to the lands, of course, but from a high view you could see terrain types like a desert, snowy mountains, or grassy plains.Īnother element that contributes to a more believable world, filled with more motion than before, is the upgraded AI. Anywhere you can look in the open world of Borderlands 2, you can travel to. The scenery now has more going on, like vents spouting plumes of gas or water, and the terrain is now a lot more varied.
Since Gearbox doesn’t want to make that mistake with Borderlands 2, they are giving “practically everything” in the original an overhaul - starting by making the lead designer and lead writer work together from the start.Ī great deal of improvements are being made to create a more believable, living and breathing world.
He simply feels that yearly sequels that don’t innovate are a disservice to the fans.
It looked like sequel is already shaping up rather nicely, with changes where changes are welcome and leaving the core that made the original so much fun intact.Īlthough Borderlands was created as a new IP in a sea of sequels that it rebelled against, Gearbox’s Steve Gibson said he doesn’t hate sequels. This year they planned to repeat that success by showing off Borderlands 2, despite the game being pretty far from release. Gearbox announced Borderlands at a pretty crappy stand at gamescom a couple of years ago, and attributed a lot of the success they’ve had with the title to the response the game received by doing so.
