Approaching Border areas film It might not have happened if it wasn't for the side story game. Stories from the BorderlandsThis gave Gearbox confidence that the universe could be more than just a looter and shooter playground.
\Developed by Telltale Games and released in 2014, Stories from the Borderlands It was a different game than all of them previously published Border areas TitlesThis wasn't a looter shooter focused on co-op FPS action, but instead, like Telltale's other games, a slower-paced, story-driven, point-and-click adventure game with new and old elements. Border areas characters. Only Border areas fans, but also critics and non-fans. And that's Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchfordhelped give confidence to the team Border areas movie might work.
In a new interview PolygonPitchford said Telltale's spin-off was an “experiment.”
“Stories from the Borderlands No… it wasn't the mainline's style of play Border areas games,” Pitchford said. “It was a storytelling medium, it was just interactive, and it was wildly successful. It was the highest-rated game series Telltale has ever made. And they, you know, worked on it, Walking Dead And Batman; lots of other surprising things.”
Pitchford said the reaction was “validated” Border areas universe, after adding Stories was launched, “characters and stories [of Borderlands] “It made sense and it resonated. So that was the other thing that gave me confidence.”
A Border areas The film opens the series to everyone
The Gearbox CEO also added: Stories from the Borderlands, The studio ditched all the shooter mechanics and looter gameplay to focus entirely on storytelling, and in the end, “it was very, very rewarding,” he said.
But Pitchford said the “finders” Stories He liked the film very much and thinks it could reach a “broader audience.”
“In my opinion, that's why [a Borderlands movie] “It's worth existing,” Pitchford said Polygon.
“My mom loves me and she's proud of me, but she doesn't play my video games the way they're designed to be played, you know,” Pitchford said. “It's not that she doesn't love me. She just likes different things. I think all actors have people like that in their lives. The movie helps.”
The Border areas film, It doesn't look very nice.It will be released on August 9. I hope it is better than all the trailers released so far.
