It might be called Borderworlds, it might not, but there should be no doubt that Take-Two Interactive is interested in partnering with Gearbox Software on a sequel to Borderlands. The name of the game is not so important at this point as this is all very preliminary. Yet the very thought that a title such as Borderworlds being tossed around by creators of the first game seems to point toward a move toward interplanetary gameplay elements this time around. Now this could make the game even better. If this idea is pursued I can only point toward a gameplay idea. Let us fly the ships between planets and make this a real feature of the game and plot. Not like Mass Effect hopefully but more like a Spore meets shooter style creation. Only let the flights have effects on RPG elements of the game as well. Lets just say that some of us at AWLIVEPAGE.com are anticipating this feature arriving in some game soon.
Take-Two said Borderlands was on the cusp of becoming a powerful franchise for the publisher on their last financial call and Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick reiterated his confidence in Borderlands at a recent conference. Not only are the games sales a boon for the company but the talk in game media of the game is an excellent presence for them to make a quick move to get started on part 2 or what ever they call it.
Zelnick said Borderlands "looks like another terrific franchise" for the company and confirmed Take-Two has "longterm publishing rights to sequels to Borderlands."
Everything points toward Border......becoming a major video game staple series for some time to come. That is of coarse if they don't rush into making a sequel just to exploit the popularity EA style and screw fans with a big time release disappointment.
There has not yet been an actual announcment that the game is in the works and no one is willing to yet state that it is an absolute that the project will ever happen at all. But the level of interest in this sequel being a go is to much to ignore. Any official details on Borderlands 2 are likely many months away, Take-Two continues to clearly state that it wants to move forward with Borderlands 2 as soon as possible.
