PAX East 2014: A peek at Borderlands The Presequel Gameplay

he play styles of various first-person shooters and the structure they pride themselves around has carried over into an almost kind of credo that dictates the cliques of that follow them.

With that in mind, here’s the $60 question that’s rung in my head since Borderlands 2 however, is where does Gearbox go from here? How many fresh territories can they cross with the series while still delivering all established elements that makes it what it is?

PAX East 2012: Gearbox Studios

Aliens: Colonial Marines is being published by Sega, and is considered to be cannon in the Alien universe. The other title is the long awaited sequel to the very popular shooter Borderlands, Borderlands 2.
