With all the high tec in Borderlands you would of thought her arm would look a little more advanced.

I'm talking Nina Sharp style :)

That would be interesting but I think they were going for the thrown together look for sure here. Remember though with all those new skins the game is going to have there will surely be a large variety of different looking arms.

So if you don't pre order the game you have to pay for the DLC character according to ign. Funny thing is, I'm a cheap ass, and policies like this usually end up with me buying the game used or with all extra content included on a $5 steam sale. Pity, I would have paid significantly more to have it a little earlier

So is it Mech+Necromancer? Or is it Mech+Romancer?

JohnColaw4431d ago

They said it was a play on the word Necromancer. Although a "Mech Romancer" would be pretty hilarious.

I’m glad Embracer is selling them. I hope someone other than MS buys them and frees them up to make great games.

Knightofelemia54d ago

Says right in the article Take Two bought Gearbox off of Embracer.

Sgt_Slaughter54d ago

Reading the article is hard for most people it seems

@Sgt Slaughter

I just like how when a studio automatically goes up for sale. People automatically think Microsoft is just going to jump on it like a fat kit eating a cake.

I mean, having multiple CEOs is a redundancy, soooo... Good luck Randy!!!

Layoffs Hit Gearbox Staff Hours After Embracer Sale

Less than a day after the news that Take-Two Interactive would acquire Borderlands developer Gearbox Entertainment from the embattled Embracer Group, layoffs have already begun. In the hours since former Gearbox employees were made redundant, they've taken to Twitter, and while the total number of staff impacted remains hard to determine, it sounds significant.

I am glad to see Gearbox under Take Two. But lay offs I am not surprised they aren't the only company cutting staff and they won't be the last. And I have a feeling the Borderlands movie honestly will tank when it comes out. The cast is just wow a complete mess Lilith is too old Roland is to small and scrawny. They are missing Brick and Mordecai and I don't think Tiny Tina will be as bat shit nuts as she is in the games.

The movie will definitely flop. It has all the usual actors that have casted in all these video game movie adaptations. Whenever I see Kevin Hart or The Rock or Jack Black i just know it's a cash grab. More so when it's all three together. (The Rock isn't in it)

Juancho5159d ago

When you see actors like that in a movie you can expect it to be bad, i definitely do. They have good chemistry but the movie doesnt shine because it just banks on their presence and people going to see them.

Inverno59d ago

Pfft, literally said yesterday how it must be nerve wracking for the devs and then this shite. People aren't looking to get fired, and these companies don't care in the slightest.

Andrew33659d ago

People aren't looking to get fired. Good insight.

kaos8959d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Inflation post 1/20/2020 is really causing pain to everyone. The cherry on top was companies waiting post 11/8/2022 to start doing layoffs. Hmm, I wonder why they waited past that date... Staring with Google in January 2023 and everyone following suit there after.

anast59d ago

Companies that over-hire should be fined heavily and the CEO loses his/her bonus during layoffs, and that money can go to the workers that they laid off.

Leeroyw58d ago

There's a lot going on in this post that needs further scrutiny.

anast58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

It's a game forum. But you are free to chose one and argue it.

Shiore2u59d ago

I hope Pitchford got let go for the sake of employee safty. The man is a walking grease fire waiting to happen.
