As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I have seen the evolution of open-world games from their humble beginnings to the sprawling, immersive worlds we know today. With that said, Randy Pitchford’s statement about Borderlands 4 not being an “open-world” game has piqued my interest and sparked a sense of curiosity within me.
Growing up, I remember spending countless hours exploring the vast landscapes of games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, immersing myself in the rich stories and intricate details that open-world games have to offer. So when I hear that Borderlands 4, a game known for its expansive environments and freedom of exploration, will not be labeled as an “open-world” game, it raises some questions.
I am excited to see what innovative approaches Gearbox Entertainment has taken with the game’s design, and how they have managed to create something unique that doesn’t fit neatly into the traditional open-world mold. I can only imagine the mind-boggling, jaw-dropping experiences that await me on this new planet of Kairos.
But let’s not forget, as a gamer, I’ve seen my fair share of marketing buzzwords and hype. So when Randy says, “You’ll see,” I can’t help but wonder if he’s got a trick up his sleeve. Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – I’m ready to put on my Vault Hunter gear and explore this mysterious new world!
And just for a little humor, let me add that maybe the “baggage” Randy mentioned was all the glitches, bugs, and technical issues that come with open-world games. So perhaps by avoiding the label, they’re hoping to avoid those pesky problems too!
2K Games has an exciting roster for this year, and I can hardly contain my enthusiasm! February will bring the long-awaited release of Sid Meier’s Civilization 7, while Summer promises the intriguing prequel, Mafia: The Old Country. As for Borderlands 4, Gearbox Entertainment has been teasing it as their most ambitious project in the series yet, but they haven’t given us a specific release window just yet.
As a gamer, I’d put it this way: Last month, Randy Pitchford, our CEO, shared with GameSpot that while Borderlands 4 may be expansive and free-roaming, he prefers not to label it as an ‘open-world game.’ He explained that the term ‘open world’ carries certain expectations that might not align with our upcoming title. Instead, you’ll just have to experience it for yourself to see what he means!
As I excitedly share my insights, let me clarify that while Gabe Pitchford confirmed to GameSpot that the trailer showcases an area you can freely traverse without any loading times, it’s essential to understand that it isn’t a systematically generated world. Instead, he emphasized its seamless exploration, promising a scale unmatched in our previous works, and a density unlike anything we’ve ever created before.
This year, you’ll be able to play Borderlands 4 on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC platforms as it releases. Previews of the gameplay are expected in the upcoming months. The narrative revolves around a fresh planet named Kairos, where four fresh Vault Hunters find themselves caught up in the struggle between the Timekeeper’s Order and Queen Callius’s Rippers. Additionally, the game offers two-player local split-screen mode and four-player online co-op. New features include the ability to access your vehicle anywhere on the planet.
In my opinion, I wouldn’t categorize Boundless Land 4 (BL4) as an “open world” game, since the label carries unnecessary connotations that don’t align with its characteristics. You’ll understand why as you play it.
