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.
