"Join us at Thumb Culture as we go to the world of Pandora and embark on an adventure in this Tales From The Borderlands Review." Gareth @ Thumb Culture
From VGC: "Gearbox has announced that it’s working on a new Tales from the Borderlands game.
Released in 2014 and developed by Telltale Games, the original Tales from the Borderlands is a five-part episodic game set on Pandora between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3.
Gearbox is developing the “all new Tales from the Borderlands adventure”, which will be published by 2K later this year."
Wish they’d come up with a fresh IP all together. While the animation is fine, the story and “cheeky” characters, and millions of weapons just don’t do anything for me. It’s time for something non-borderlands related in my opinion. With each sequel they seem to take the route more is better, and that’s just not always the case.
This is a tales from the borderlands game. Not a actually proper Borderlands game. It's not a FPS or anything like that it's a story driven game with player choices.
Like the Telltales Walking Dead. Or Telltales Guardians Of the Galaxy or Minecraft Story Mode and The Wolf Among Us.
I gotcha, but it’s still tales from the “Borderlands”. I get that it doesn’t play the same. I’m just tired of seeing the same animation over and over, it’s like Gearbox’s only art-style now. Just saying I wish they’d try some thing new artistically or aesthetically. They’re just trying to tentpole Borderlands to be its own metaverse with the spin-offs, when to me a new IP from them would be way more intriguing. Just 1 dude’s opinion. No harm meant by it.
Well, sort of. This one is being developed by Gearbox directly, not Telltale, so we’ll have to see if they actually stick to the original’s design.
In honestly quite cautious/skeptical about this one. Nuanced and balanced writing is not what I would describe as a forte for Gearbox, especially coming from BL3
You are right with what you explained, but I get what he is saying, borderlands is getting very same-y with each new game and it would be nice to have something new.
I wish they would go back and develop that Furious 4 game that they decided to cancel. They were also supposed to develop a final Brothers in Arms game but there's been no word on that in a decade.
Did that game really do okay? Isn’t that what made telltale collapse? I played the first episode and it was kinda terrible. Had no desire to finish it.
Hard disagree from me. Wolf among us was brilliant. The first walking dead was good. The rest were sub par imo.
Wolf Among Us was my favorite . I’d put Walking Dead and Borderlands close to each other .
Fair enough. I can concede that it wasn’t TT game of thrones awful. I’m glad telltale is focused on making a full WAU2. It was the right move.
First Tales from the Borderlands is my favorite game I loved so much I bought it on PS3, PS4, and XB1. The intro to episode 4 was so friggin good I never knew who Twin Shadow was until I heard that intro.
I just find it funny TT games become so oversaturated because there was so many of them coming out, yet it seems now that TT are back in the game they are slowly doing the same mistake which lead to their original downfall.
Maybe focus on one or two projects, get them finished and start another.
Also they just constantly rely on existing franchises rather than doing something brand new from scratch.
Telltale aren't making this though. And as far as I'm aware, Telltale are only making Wolf Among Us 2 and The Expanse. Am I forgetting one? Wolf Among Us isn't out til next year, too, and The Expanse is probably beyond that. Now if they were doing another Walking Dead, Batman, Game of Thrones, Minecraft, and Guardians all within a few years... then I'd be worried.
Still there's only so much you can do with the point and click genre
If they were pushing the genre then fine but each game they just don't even bother.
The article just mentions Telltales making the first game this second game is being done by Gearbox themselves and published by 2K. How is Telltales over saturated? I didn't even know they were still around until an article popped up on here stating they were working on the Wolf Among Us 2 and maybe one other game. Back when Telltales was a thing yes they were over saturated working on The Walking Dead, Batman and Batman 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Game of Thrones, Minecraft and Tales from the Borderlands. And you could tell that some of their games were crap Game of Thrones was boring, Batman on PS3 episode 2 or 3 had a hiccup on PS3 and so did Game of Thrones. Guardians of the Galaxy was a good game. You say there is only so much you can do with a point and click game yes that is correct but the same could be said about Supermassive Games and the games. Man of Medan, Little Hope, House of Ashes, and Until Dawn you can only do some much with their style of games as well. As long as it has a good story, good characters who cares as long as you're enjoying the game.
The TellTale adventure game Tales from the Borderlands is now available on the Nintendo Switch.
i love this game and the borderlands series xD
the switch port however crashed a bunch of times on me
loading times are really long and the graphics just dont match with the ps3 and ps4 versions.
If you're in the mood to earn some easy platinum trophies, while having a ton of fun, then our handy list may be just what you need right now.
Most of the PS exclusives are pretty manageable because there isn’t usually a difficulty gate. GOW, HZD, Detroit, The Witness, Days Gone, and Ghost of Tsushima were also easy platinums; just takes time to explore everything.
Maybe I'm just intellectually challenged but I don't find The Witness easy at all. Some of it seems to be extremely obscure.
I have to agree with Knush, I love puzzle games, but never manage to finish The Witness, there are some puzzles that are just waaaay too hard.
Knush/Tomb,
It took me a while to figure them all out but they eventually click. Something about that world was just too incredible. You can also look up all the puzzles but that’s not what makes it good.
@ Necrum
Thanks. Maybe it is one of those you really need to focus on and not just fire up in a casual manner.
Even so, there was one set of puzzles near submerged water where it actually gave you a good clue to solve the series of puzzles, but after that the logic just didn't seem to stick and I ended up resorting to trial and error.
I felt the need to platinum astros playroom. It was just that magical to me as a long time Playstation fan. I've owned every console every handheld except the psp go.
It's a great game one of my favorite TellTales games the intro music by TwinStick for episode 4 was great I really wish this game had a sequel in the works I would buy it day one.
I enjoyed it but it had some technical issues like all Telltale games . I would give it 4/5
