The preview of "Borderlands 4" has been lifted, and the response is surprisingly good!The media unanimously praised it, saying it was a huge leap compared to "Borderlands 3", and it may even be the best work in the series so far!
The following is a key summary of the promoter @SynthPotato based on trial reports from foreign media Game Informer and IGN:
- The plot of "Borderlands 4" is more solid and dark, with the background set on a dystopian planet ruled by "Honor of Time"
- The game still retains humor elements, but is more restrained and no longer "embarrassing" like "Borderlands 3"
- This game gives people a series of "soft restarts" and introduces a new world view and gameplay structure
- The mobile system has been comprehensively reformed, adding two-stage jump, gliding, sprinting, hook rope and swimming mechanisms
- Four new secret hunters appear: Vickers (Witch), Rafa (Iron Bone Warrior), Harlow (Grain Mage), Yamon (Forged Knight)
- The new planet "Kairos" is a seamless open world map, no longer loaded between regions
- Local split screen cooperation is back, and you can go online with your friends again.
- The task structure draws on the "Fate" series, with side activities, dynamic events and exploration-type bases
- Vehicles can be summoned anywhere on the map, making travel more smooth and immersive
-Kelos has dynamic weather systems and diverse environments
- The battle rhythm is faster, the enemy is smarter and more radical, emphasizing the skills of dodging and moving
- A certain boss battle displayed in the preview is called the most complex battle in the series ever.
- The construction system has been greatly deepened, and new equipment enhancement slots and prop affixes have been added
- The rarity of weapons is more reasonable, and the drop rate of legendary weapons is lower and more precious
- The mission and boss battles support repeated play, which facilitates players to browse equipment at a fixed location
- The online matching system is improved, the hall interface is simpler, and the difficulty adjustment mechanism is clearer
- Gearbox said it will not turn "Borderlands 4" into a service game (GaaS)
- This work aims to regain the throne of the "Plunder Shooting" type game and regain the popularity of the series after years of stagnation
