  • 2K, Gearbox Software Announce Next-Gen IP, Battlebornâ„¢ July 8
    2K, Gearbox Software Announce Next-Gen IP, Battleborn™ July 8, 2014 12:05 PM ET New hero-shooter experience from the creators of the best-selling Borderlands franchise brings industry-leading co-operative and competitive play to next-gen consoles and PC Join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #Battleborn NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 8, 2014-- 2K and Gearbox Software – the creators of the award-winning and best-selling Borderlands franchise – today announced Battleborn™, an all-new full-featured triple-A hero-shooter experience for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC is in development. The first details and full reveal of Battleborn can be read now exclusively in Game Informer magazine’s August issue cover story. Battleborn is developed by the teams behind the critically acclaimed hybrid role-playing-shooter Borderlands 2, and is an ambitious fusion of genres. The game combines highly-stylized visuals and frenetic first-person shooting, with Gearbox’s industry-leading co-operative combat, and an expansive collection of diverse heroes. Battleborn is set in the distant future of an imaginative science-fantasy universe where players experience both a narrative-driven co-operative campaign, as well as competitive multiplayer matches. “If Borderlands 2 is a shooter-looter, Battleborn is a hero-shooter,― said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. “As a genre-fused, hobby-grade, co-operative and competitive FPS exploding with eye-popping style and an imaginative universe, Battleborn is the most ambitious video game that Gearbox has ever created.― “Battleborn represents the combined might of the development and publishing teams behind the success of Borderlands 2, which to date has sold-in more than 9-million units worldwide and has become 2K’s highest-selling game of all time,― said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.

  • Borderlands 3 Amazon Ps4 Digital Download Will Borderlands 3 Be on Steam? Best Answer: Yes
    borderlands 3 amazon ps4 digital download Will Borderlands 3 be on Steam? Best answer: Yes. Gearbox has announced that Borderlands 3 is coming to Steam on March 13. Those playing on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store can play cross-play together. Vast alien treasures: Borderlands 3 (See at Steam) When will it come to Steam? Gearbox announced at PAX East 2020 that Borderlands 3 is coming to Steam on March 13, 2020. Why was it an Epic Games Store exclusive? There are a lot of reasons that could have contributed to Gearbox and 2K opting to release Borderlands 3 on the Epic Games Store as a timed exclusive, but the companies have unfortunately not stated why they came to this decision. A popular belief is that it is because Epic only takes a 12% cut of the revenue as opposed to Valve's 30% cut, but that is merely speculation. How does Gearbox feel about the backlash? There's been quite a bit of backlash from fans who hate this exclusivity deal and have even been review bombing previous Borderlands games on Steam. In response to this, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said on Twitter, "Ironically, that this misuse is possible and that Steam has no interest in correcting this misuse makes me kind of happy about 2K's decision and makes me want to reconsider Gearbox Publishing's current posture on the platform." Steam has since flagged "off-topic" reviews that do not contribute to the aggregated score. This tool lets users know that a recent set of reviews may contain "an abnormal set of reviews that we believe are largely unrelated to the likelihood that you would enjoy the product." Welcome back.

In addition, fans who pre-order the title from participating retailers will receive access to the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club, including rewarding in-game items and bonuses.

Dissertations - ALL. 500. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/500 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT An exploration of how characters develop identity through language use in a video game’s narrative, specifically in video games that do not allow for players to make narrative-altering choices. The concept of literacies is used to create a critical framework through which to view video games themselves as a literacy, as well as to view them as a discourse. This thesis analyzes how dialogue is used to develop and showcase gender, sexuality, personality, moral identity in characters in and out of the player’s control, as well as how dialogue builds the narrative world in which these characters exist. This thesis includes two case studies, on the Borderlands video game series and the Halo video game series, approaching each series from a perspective that showcases how its unique world and characters are created through language. Each series has a specific facet to its narrative that is examined in depth; in the Borderlands series, the importance of storytelling to world-building and moral identity, and in the Halo series, the significance of speech itself as an act.
