The launch trailer for the pre-sequel of Borderlands can’t resist throwing a small jab at the MMO shooter Destiny.
Borderlands is part of the DNA of the MMO shooter Destiny. It was the game that invented the “Loot’n Shoot” genre, in which Destiny is currently thriving. Moreover, the comparisons are numerous: both are shooters, both are set in the science fiction genre, and both have built a loyal fan base. Thus, it is rare to talk about Destiny without mentioning Borderlands. And at Gearbox, it seems they are quite attentively following the commotion around the major competitor with a wry smile.
Tomorrow, the pre-sequel to Borderlands is released, and Gearbox is celebrating this with a launch trailer. In it, they can’t resist a little jab against Destiny. They reference the infamous “That wizard came from the moon” line, which has provoked much derision over the past months. But see for yourself.
