Randy Pitchford from Gearbox Says 'Games need to take more risks'

Randy Pitchford the man who is behind a game-series which newly released a "Pre-Sequel" in the series, Borderlands (or as I like to call it, LootLands) recently said in an interview that "Games need to accept more than risks", he insists on that they need to be innovative to move forwards into the future.

What is Randy Pitchford talking nigh?

In regards to innovation, let's wait at Borderlands that has been around for a while, the first game came out in 2009, and the DLC besides as Borderlands two and its subsequent DLC are pretty much the same game, with the aforementioned gameplay. Don't get me wrong it'southward quite fun, especially some of the DLC, but if we await at Borderlands 1 & ii and compare them, well it's just more of the same stuff. And the recently released "Pre-Sequel" (named then aptly because information technology takes place after the first game and earlier the second) is pretty much Borderlands 2 all again, except that you are the moon with some new weapons and new characters.

"The oldest trouble our species has faced is that we can't realize and manifest everything that nosotros tin can imagine every bit chop-chop as nosotros tin imagine it, So the but solution to that problem is to make choices. And to selection one thing and carelessness another. And that can be hard if there's a function of our minds that loves the thing that must be abased and is afraid of the new frontier that should be embraced."

He continued: "But progress demands that nosotros await forwards, And the biggest and most exciting things that we're going to do exist doing in interactive entertainment in the future are things that we tin't even conceive of today. And nosotros'll never get there unless we actually are comfy taking some risks and trying things we haven't washed earlier."

Granted what he says in the interview is in regards to a question about VR such as Oculus Rift and the future, just he really should not be talking well-nigh innovation when his studio is doing the exact same thing as all other "major" studios are.

Let's not forget that Randy Pitchford was behind Aliens: Colonial Marines back in 2022 equally well, and oh male child did that game crash and fire. At that place'due south been all kinds of talk and theories of what really went wrong during the evolution. But what we do know is the following: The game was nothing like what was promised, neither graphically nor in terms of story. It was a generic shooter that looked nothing like the footage that had been shown.

Only hey, if Randy Pitchford has something amazing new and innovative up his sleeve. Then sure I'one thousand inclined to hear him out at least, if not I can always express mirth a fleck at Claptrap.
