A developer of Borderlands 3 speaks quite casually about the development of games in recent years. He wonders why others have not taken more from Borderlands.
In the course of the gamescom 2019 there are currently various interviews and releases about different games. Chris Brock, one of the producers of Borderlands 3, spoke with colleagues from PCGamesN. He wonders why other games have not copied more from Borderlands.
What was discussed? In the interview, it was not only about Borderlands 3 but also about the competitors and rivals of the game. So other loot shooters, such as Destiny 2 or The Division 2. Brock confirmed that they had “learned a lot from these games”.
They specifically analyzed what these games do well and also what does not work well for them. Only after that did the team gain an understanding of what they wanted to do themselves and could then implement that vision.
Shooting mechanics inspired by Titanfall and Destiny: During the discussion about endgame content, it was also about the weapons in Borderlands. After all, the game boasts having nearly infinite weapons. In doing so, Brock specifically mentioned Titanfall and Destiny. These games have “wonderful shooting mechanics” and they themselves do not want a multitude of weapons if they feel terrible.
Did Borderlands influence other games? According to PCGamesN, Brock appeared somewhat shocked that this influence apparently only runs in one direction. He said:
There are moments when I wonder why some of these games have not copied from us [Borderlands].
Do you see it the same way as Chris Brock? Or do you find many elements in games like Destiny or The Division that are clearly inspired by Borderlands?
