[E3 2015] Battleborn Livestreams and Discussions

Gaaaaah I am so excited to get my hands on Battleborn. Granted, I’m still working my way through Borderlands 2 (what can I say, I’m a completionist, and I just started playing these games last year!). But if there is a beta - closed or open or anything - I want in. :slight_smile:

Everything I’ve seen so far from E3 has been amazing!

Just wanted to say that the after conversation in the Twitch channel really solidified my support and fandom for the Battleborn team. Keep it up.

You guys are creating something that appears to be great and I really appreciate the efforts you all are doing.

Thanks Evewhiran! Good to see you around here, and yeah…great discussion on the stream!

Well another Battleborn update for you and by the looks of it Gamespot has been playing a lot of Bloodbourne.

Well i did a speculation blog a while back about modifying your gear, looks like i was in the right direction.

Another topic i was thinking about, but didn’t have time to write a blog for was SHIFT Codes. Randy Pitchford still gives out Borderlands shift codes and is hoping to do that with Battleborn. Will the golden chest make it’s return in Battleborn and what will it spit out ?

[EDIT]

Found the other one from Twitch

Here Randy P. teases about the Shift codes

BTW. Work wasn’t all that bad. This newspaper was waiting for me :smiley:

That’s cool! What does the headline say?

I translated it and it came out as “colorful pop spectacle”.

that’s about right.
a ‘pop’ is a small sound right, it’s more a ‘bang’ big sound. not sure if ‘bang spectacle’ is the right phrase :wink:

The headline is a bit playing with words: One is more down the lines of: Spectacular colorful
But ‘knalspektakel’ can also be used as ‘shooting fest’, so a colorful shooting fest

They talked about Gearbox, the makers of Borderlands, now bringing Battleborn. Also they went over there play time with some of the characters. The basic stuff i already knew :wink: The guy who wrote the article was positive, GBX has something going here and places Battleborn on the “ones to watch list”.

So still some convincing to do, but there is still time.

BTW. did you guys notify Randy P. that he couldn’t say Episodes & Seasons. noticed that he started using the work chapters :wink:

I hate to repeat myself but I want to play Thorn. I think I’ve said that before.

Update: The IGN Livestream has been pushed back one hour. 6:40 PM PT / 9:40 PM ET / 1:40 AM GMT

There was a great question in the Twitch chat while waiting for the stream to begin:

Will there be a Collector’s Edition?

If so, will there be a solely digital Collector’s Edition as well?

No info on a CE at this time!

The more Randy talks the more two things happen:

  1. I get more excited.

  2. The more I realize this game really badly needs bots. It does. Randy was talking about team composition. If you play by yourself, you won’t have a balance of a tank, healer, DOS, etc. You’d be at a severe disadvantage.

He also mentioned that characters have conversations between each other. That’s a whole lot of character-building and humor you’d be missing by playing by yourself.

Please give us bots!

kind of the opposite for me, the more he talks the more I don’t want the game, but if I just watch the videos of the play without him in it, the game does peak my interest. will say this thow, everytime I hear Pitchford, he does make me laugh, so theres a plus there to

Why?

Some people really dislike randy, I don’t know why but I guess we all have different tastes in things.

I for one love Randy, I find his passion really endearing.

Man, he’s one of my favorite developers to listen to along with Jake Soloman of Firaxis, David Jaffe, and CliffyB. But Randy just gets so excited, it’s awesome.

I think it’s awesome that you, and others, are taking time to interact with us on the forums, especially at this stage when you are all working so hard on the game. Thanks!

Hey blackheartjohnnyviny - So, cone of silence here. Don’t let my marketing guys see this. I’ll pull back the curtain for just a second. :smile:

I want bots too. We kinda sorta have them working in a very VERY rough fashion. But really only in the competitive levels now. To get them working in campaign is an actual incredible amount of scripting work, and unfortunately, has to occur after the “making of the levels” part. I’m not sure we’re going to get there fast enough to get bots in at any quality level you or I would deem useful.

So, we want it. We’re still working on some things. But I can’t make any promises yet as to where or how extensive bots will be in our game. Best I got right now is “it’s not a no”.

Thanks for the update!

As far as not getting done in time, I’d be totally excited for it if they came post-launch too! Haha

Okay, this video is great because a) funny narrating and more in depth introduction to classes and b) gameplay without voice over so you can pay attention to details about the HUD, the skills, what is on your screen. This is a pretty exciting 23 minutes of good stuff for those of us who were not at E3 to play.
