Weeeeeelll, I for one am not even convinced it's such a good idea to remove so many gameplay/brainteaser elements from the adventure genre and make an entirely choice and plot driven experience out of it. But a lot of people thought it worked out exceedingly neatly for The Walking Dead, so why doubt that it could work for Borderlands?
Of course, I'm very much looking forward to all the "How do I shoot" threads made by Borderland fans on this forum. I should prepare a standard answer right now...
Because, while i liked borderlands 2 and am aware that TTG have made funny games before, i'm just not convinced that universe is strong enough… more to be able to stand up to presumably having all the gunplay and co-op action removed and still be entertaining. Like i said though though we haven't seen much of it and i'll wait and see what they're able to do.
I tried the first Borderlands all the way back in the old days. I did not like at all, and I never touched the series again. However I am tempted to give this game a go none the less.
Because The Walking Dead, much like Fables and Game of Thrones were series that were very plot driven and atmospheric anyway and natural fits for the story centered, cinematic approach. Borderlands...not so much. I understand what you're saying that taking risks has paid off handsomely before and i'm certainly not going to dismiss it.

I know they do comedy, I never said they didn't. I said I'm interested to see how a more Comedic game will work in TWD format rather than a traditional point-and-click adventure like they've done before with their comedy titles.
Its not like Comedy is a new thing for them.....if anything the drama that TWD brought is new to them
Look at Sam and Max,Monkey Island,Back to the future, etc.
Confirmed Episode 2 of TWAU, Episode 2 of TWD: S2, Episode 1 of GOT, and Episode one of TFBL all being released on January 1st. Preorder now to snag a free hat for TF2. (Which I would be much more interested in seeing made into a game of a game than Borderlands, but to each is there own.)
People have a tendency to panic first, think later, lol. Once we get the The Walking Dead and Wolf's next episodes out, hoping people will be reassured that the next two projects wont take over for them.
Why is everyone assuming that Telltale is rushing to put episodes out for the GOT and Borderlands games? It just said 2014 and in the intervie… morews, they admit to not having any definitive story ideas. They're still in the "Hey we have the rights to these things, but where do we really want to go with it" stages. I doubt we'll see too much overlap between the two sets of games. It wouldn't be impossible to have small teams of like two or three who are tossing out ideas in their spare time for the (what will likely be late) 2014 games. I don't think that the newest additions will have much of an impact on TWD and TWAU. Now to say that TWD and TWAU might be impacting each other is valid, but to be fair, anyone who was in these forums for TWD season 1 knows that waiting is part of the game. Releases can seem random and may be waited on for a while.
So if i don't like a game because it lacks story/character development and it's pretty much a grind from the start to the end, i haven't matured. Cool story.
I never said they were bad games just not NEAR as good as people claim them to be, halo effect at it's best. If it wasn't an FPS i'd say i was playing some korean MMO, hell the game's art style is great, they also had alot of weird/funny characters with alot of potential but they where only used for 1-2 missions and just for a couple of dialogues.
Oh please. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it's "overrated", grow up. The Borderlands series is great, which is why Telltale is working on an episodic game for the series.
I wasn't trying to insult him, It was just an honest way of describing the guy's post. What would you call someone who thinks it's okay to release 2 mediocre games and almost kill the franchises in the process just because the company released 2 okay games?
I said someone was a Pre-adolescent, im going to hell.
Listen Vain in all honesty i don't see this why would this insult anyone, but i'll calm down i guess? just for you
I'll say what I said on the other forum, this game was confirmed to be a telltale style game with everything that made us love TWD. Not saying it WILL be great, but in such a cool world as Borderlands, it has a possibility.
I guess they should focus on the walking dead and the wolf among us and finish them off before working on any other games .
Before thi… mores is going anywhere - they've hardly done any work on the Borderlands game. This is in its very preliminary stages. And I'd rather guess "2014" means "late 2014". TWaU as well as TWD will likely be finished even before more significant info will be released. Thinking about the next step is very important in episodic gaming. They can't wait with this kind of announcement until mid next year, they HAVE to start the hype even though they haven't got much to show right now.
Sorry, I didn't know about Tales of Monkey Island. I am only vaguely aware of all the Telltale games previous to TWD. To be fair, I have never even heard of the series ToMI derived from while the Borderlands series is pretty mainstream. I don't doubt Telltale's ability to use this new idea and create an amazing game out of it though. Actually, I am pretty interested in what they could come up with.
It wouldn't be the first time they did a game series based off another game series. Tales of Monkey Island also comes to mind. Incidentally, both games also have "Tales" in the title.
To be fair, I have never even heard of the series ToMI derived from while the Borderlands series is pretty mainstream
Reading that makes me sad. Not even heard of Monkey Island? I take it you're pretty young?
Monkey Island is as mainstream as it gets. Just a little older. I'd say it was way more mainstream than Borderlands is.

i feel old :-(
yeah, I liked Monkey Island, but the Bone series has to be mentioned as well, its a pretty good game that is underated by many telltale gamers. I never hear much talk about it in these forums.
I'm sorry I was born in the 90s and would be too young to even know how to play it at the time. Even now I have never heard of it (not trying to be bratty or offensive, I'm only speaking from what would be Telltale's younger demographic.) I'm just basing off my experiences as a gamer since I was 4 years old. And like you said, I'm sure it was more mainstream than Borderlands at the time but nowadays it isn't referenced as much anymore. That is to be expected with pretty much all games, excluding the groundbreaking ones that even non-gamers know about (Mario games, for example). Anyways, I'm sorry I got so off topic in this thread.

Well, they'll presumably take a year to come out with the Telltale Borderlands game. I can keep the original games in my Steam Wishlist to see if they go on sale sometime before next year.
Played Borderlands 1 and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked to be honest. Borderlands 2 is coming free for PS+ maybe I might try it again , try to get interested in it.
Im surprised to see the amount of people against this idea. I think this is the best thing announced on the VGX, blows GoT right out of the water (I realize we haven't even seen anything but a reveal for GoT yet).
People seem to automaticly just dismiss the idea because to someone, who isn't into shooters and have no desire to pick up Borderlands, it doesn't appeal. However, once you get to know the world of BL and the characters in it you may even change your mind and decide to give this a go atleast.
Handsome Jack is hands down one of the best villains i've seen in anything, ever.
Sorry for the broken english.
I can almost promise everyone here that we will conclude TWAU and TWD S2 before publishing either of the new titles. We here at TTG want to give you the best gaming experience possible. Also check out the FAQ Borderlands page for the answer to this question as well.
Guys do you really think that they will work on Borderlands or game of thrones before both TWAU and TWD 2S are finished completely? They would… moren't lets give telltale some credit that being said I can not wait until tales from borderlands (could care less about the game of thrones game)

While I am not against telltale doing an episodic series for borderlands, I understand where others are coming from being sceptical and all. I think there may have also been similar thoughts from TWD fans found out telltale was making an episodic game for that franchise and look how that turned out.
Anyone played Poker Night 2, featuring Brock Samson from The Venture Bros., **Claptrap from the Borderlands series, ** Ash Williams from The Evil Dead franchise, and Sam from Sam & Max as opponents.
Telltale have probably thought about doing an episodic series using one of these franchises previously. But I will reserve judgement for now until this game is made. I actually hope they do a good job with it.
Also I think this announcement may also have something to do with Gearbox maybe asking telltale to announce around the Christmas period pretty sure it is not going hurt demand for the borderlands series.

It will be interesting to see how they will make an open world game into a interactive adventure, can't wait for all the games Telltale are releasing!
I tried the first Borderlands all the way back in the old days. I did not like at all, and I never touched the series again. However I am tempted to give this game a go none the less.

I absolutely love the Borderlands series - honestly can't wait. Please also port to Vita please!!

It was their fault, stop being a blind fanboy. They were in all their right to say "this game is bad, we need x years to complete it"
You'll understand once you go through puberty. There's more to games than kill all de monstarz with gunz.
WARNING 1.
WARNING 2.
You're on a slippery slope. Pull yourself together and be respectful to people please.

Erm... Your counting is off. That's 4, including Borderlands, TWD TWAU, and Game of Thrones.
e: changed my mind about posting this
now you people will never know what wellgolly had to say. Good luck trying to sleep at night!
Thank you for clarifying, it's hissy fits galore around here... even more than usual that is.

Yup. Those who didn't know Monkey Island back in 1990 certainly weren't gamers.

I'm sorry

I still haven't gotten around to playing those games.... but maybe this will give me the motivation to give 'em a shot.
I haven't really played and finished any of the borderlands games but am still interested in this series. I might play the borderland games actually.
I know this is going to be hypocritical as hell
But you want a Game like Team fortress 2 to have a spinoff based on story.............mkay then
Godanmit now I want to know what he said
I hate when people do taht
Well, they'll presumably take a year to come out with the Telltale Borderlands game. I can keep the original games in my Steam Wishlist to see if they go on sale sometime before next year.
Maybe it will actually include a puzzle that requires any amount of thought? Oh wait, this is Telltale. Nevermind. Thought is forbidden.
Played Borderlands 1 and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked to be honest. Borderlands 2 is coming free for PS+ maybe I might try it again , try to get interested in it.

I was referring to the story told through the comics.
Expect us to quote you on that ALL THE TIME, Jess.
If an OFFICIAL FAQ already exists, where exactly is it?! Can't find it on Telltale's Borderlands page...
