What Is Randy Pitchford's Big Gearbox Announcement On December 1st? Here Is What It Is Not

When Gearbox President Tweeted that he would have a big announcement on December 1st, many people began speculating as to what his big reveal would be. Naturally people looked at past franchises that Gearbox has been involved with and assumed that it could be a new entry into the series. As such Skewed and Reviewed spoke with some companies off the record and the results helped eliminate many theories as to what it could be.

i don't trust him, he's a scam artist

[Garethvk]

I had thought it was one title but as you can see from the one rep he said he had no idea, but the other for Gearbox was concerned about who told me what and when.

[Eidolon]

um what

[sdcard4gb]

Oh yes, he is :)

[Neonridr]

Alien: Colonial Marines 2

I swear guys.. this time it will be better :P

[Garethvk]

That would be funny. Yes Alien Isolation is the game that Alien fans have longed for and CM was one of the most maligned games out there, but I have a really good feeling about this one. Why not really have fun: Aliens Colonial Marines 2: Revenge of Duke Nukem.

[Perjoss]

Colonial Marines 2, and if you pre order you get beta access to Battleborn 2

:D

[IamTylerDurden1]

Battleborn isn't that much worse than OW.

[LOL_WUT]

Here's hoping a Switch exclusive. I'd also be happy if they just show support for Nintendo ;)

[quent]

B3 reveal, hopefully

[Cmv38]

Im hoping the same. I need a new borderlands game.

[Garethvk]

I am hearing thats not it. May be misdirection but...

[Rich1631]

Probably Duke Nukem Forever backwards compatibility

[Blank]

I expect a new Brothers in Arms entry, also the Sag-AFTRA website mentions it.

[StoneyYoshi]

YES! PLEASE BE A BROTHERS IN ARMS GAME!!!!!! Its been so long.

[81BX]

Please be aliens.... please!!

[Allsystemgamer]

I don't want him anywhere near the ALIEN franchise.

[81BX]

Lol... cant trust that snake after that! As far as i know he never claimed his part in that crap show.... i cant respect a man who doesnt own up to his mistakes.

[overrated44]

I for sure know it's not something that I care about.

[gums007]

If it's borderlands 3, I will crap my pants. If it's not borderlands 3, i will still crap my pants.

[Allsystemgamer]

Sounds like you're going to need some diapers.

[showtimefolks]

borderlands 3

[Gh05t]

If its not that he is stepping down then I could care less.

[Kallisti]

Hopefully his retirement

[LIGATURE]

A borderlands game.if borderlands run good on nvidia tablet then im sure it would run even better on switch

[Garethvk]

That was my guess but certain parties have said they are not part of the news and do not know what it is.

[criticalkare]

Hopefully BL3..

[Garethvk]

See above.

[Tetsujin]

Gearbox has a lot of making up to do for me to be a customer again - and that's a big if.

[Garethvk]

Many people have that mentality it seems. I think they did ok with Borderlands the Pre Sequel even though for many it was an extended and glorified add on.

[ABBAJESUS]

Duke nukem mobile game...lol

[NecoTehSergal]

What is his announcement? Don't care. Why get hyped over a con-artists' creation? All Gearbox apparently can do right is Borderlands, everything else has flopped. They don't have a future and it must be scary unless they pull a rabbit out of their hats and make a brand new IP.

[IamTylerDurden1]

If it's not BL3 i give up on Gearbox. BL2 was my 2012 goty.

[john416]

Fool me once: duke nukem shame on you
Fool me twice: aliens colonial Marines shame on me
He's not getting me a third time all your games are piles of crap that you make great trailers and demos for then massively down grade them after release.

I don't have a lot of money after bills and other things I felt physically ill after shelling out 60 dollars for aliens and 120 for the duke nukem collector edition that were glitchy graphically inferior games

[madpuppy]

Yeah, Randy Pitchfork's big announcement is that he hired Sean Murray and made him Gearbox Software new official "Pitch Man" for all their future games. :P ;)

[Relientk77]

We want Borderlands 3

[Garethvk]

Here we are still waiting late in the day on December 1st. Small wonder people say he has credibility issues.

[Garethvk]

Bulletstorm Yawn.
