PC - Borderlands - Gearbox Software: "Diablo has a huge influence on Borderlands" In an Interview with Strategy Informer, Gearbox Software President, CEO and co-founder Randy Pitchford said that Diablo has a huge influence on its upcoming RPS (Role-playing shooter) Borderlands, but only on the role-playing side of it.

"So on that side, it would be Diablo, World of Warcraft but on the shooter side, the core mechanic and the controls, looking down the barrel, things like that, we get that from all the first-person shooters out there." said Pitchford.

PC - Borderlands - Pitchford: PC Borderlands "destroys console versions in terms of image fidelity" Don't mince those words, Randy Pitchford, Gearbox super-honcho. Want to know what Borderlands version to get if you want it looking at its best? PC. It "destroys" the 360 and PS3 versions visually.

PC - Borderlands - Gearbox CEO "terrified" of Borderlands release TVGB: "Releasing something fresh and new is always risky, but especially so during the lead up to the holiday season which is when established brands tend to take up a lot of consumer attention. Add to that an economy that's not in the best shape and anything new and unproven has a few reasons to worry. Gearbox's CEO Randy Pitchford takes that a step further and admits he is "totally terrified" over the upcoming late-October release of their cel-shaded beauty Borderlands."

PC - Borderlands - 'Borderlands' Has 3,166,880 Different Weapons MTV Multiplayer writes:

"Randy Pitchford, the president and founder of Gearbox, was walking us through the single-player campaign when he was hit by a need to show off a particularly cool gun. Jumping into a debug menu screen, he was able to select a few parameters to find just the sorta gun he was looking for. In this case it was a rocket launcher with the description, "Holy sh*t, it shoots rockets!"

The debug menu was fascinating, though, as it's basically a giant database of all the possible combinations of guns you can have, from sniper rifles with shock damage and a blue scope to uzis with flame effects and a red barrel. For each category the total number of possible guns was listed and, at the top, was the total number of guns that could be created with all the possible combinations.

That number was 3,166,880."

PC - Borderlands - Borderlands demo a case of "if and when", maybe pre/post-launch Gearbox would "love to do a demo," says studio writer Mikey Neumann, and they talk about it "every day" but it might never happen - they just don't know yet.

There's "a lot of factors" keeping them on the game and off a demo right now, they can't predict how time's "going to work out" on the project, but they're "doing really well" though.

PC - Borderlands - Borderlands planning on October release Joystiq writes: "Gearbox has confirmed its casual E3 mention to Joystiq that it plans to release Borderlands this October. A company representative told us today that it's looking forward to breaking new ground this fall when the "role-playing shooter with strong co-op and split-screen gameplay" is released. The rep also confirmed that the post-apocalyptic action game will launch simultaneously on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Borderlands had been banging around for a while, then disappeared for an awkward period of time before ultimately reemerging - think: butterfly - with a new art style, which freshened up the title and removed it from "Fallout clone" territory. We'll have our E3 impression of the title up soon..."

PC - Borderlands - Borderlands Now Cel-Shaded? Borderlands Guide writes: Those active on the forums know that some major stuff has gone down in the past 24 hours. First, came word that Gearbox has broken their long silence on Borderlands and is sharing details in an upcoming issue of PC Gamer.

Second came this image (thanks JohnnyMac). Although there's no confirmation, the general consensus here and on the official Gearbox forums is that it is of Borderlands. I e-mailed Gearbox tonight to hopefully get some info.

The pic looks legit but comes as a shock. It's a radically different style than we've seen before. Previous screenshots depicted a gritty, rugged gameworld. The alleged new one is less realistic and more stylized. Reads a caption on the image: "Looks like a panel from a comic book. It's, in fact, a screenshot."

PC - Borderlands - Borderlands is Still "On the Radar" BeefJack writes: "Gearbox Software has had a rough time lately what with their Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway game not selling so well and their Aliens game having a not so clear-cut future. One would hope that their sci-fi shooter Borderlands is not destined to a grim fate.

Well according to 2K Games reps the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC game is still on the 2009 release window."
