“Telltale will remember that”: Why New Tales from the Borderlands dropped the infamous conversation prompt

September 2, 2022VG247

Gearbox Software takes many cues from Telltale, but there’s one key difference in the Tales From the Borderlands follow-up: it won’t have that infamous prompt. The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Batman, The Wolf Among Us, Minecraft, Borderlands, Guardians of the Galaxy… the reign of Telltale Games, at its peak, was truly something to behold. Between 2010 and 2016, the studio churned out a number of games that defined the conversation in gaming. You couldn’t open a gaming mag (or navigate the homepage of a gaming site) without something from Telltale making itself known. Its games were everywhere, all of…

Borderlands Is Having Its Biggest Year Ever

April 26, 2022Kotaku

The revival of a beloved spinoff. A film adaptation (whose cast makes no sense at all). A mainline entry (that, against all odds, feels astonishingly fresh). Yes, it’s safe to say Borderlands is back, and having its biggest year in a long time. Borderlands, arguably the flagship series of developer Gearbox, has had a few fits of popularity over the years. The first entry came out in 2009, and stood out for marrying the first-person shooting and Diablo-style looting with cel-shaded visuals—a creative decision that’s no doubt helped the series stand the test of time—and a performatively profane sense of…

Mist circles your feet as you stand in the Banshee’s lair. Captain Valentine’s voice rings out: ‘Watch out, she’s going for a total party kill!’ What do you do next? Well, you grab your shotgun, of course, and run head first into a chaotic battle of green slime, loot boxes, and unicorns!…
