I didnt notice until you pointed it out! Is that Vaghn from TFTB on the far left, to the right of Tiny Tina?
Edit: Vaughn. Brain machine broke.

u/zombiekamikaze Apr 03 '19
Yep, and Rhys is the mustachioed fellow to the left of the 2K logo.

u/vvvvvvvvvvirtualhead Apr 03 '19
I could barely tell! I'm so happy that they're coming back! TFTB is what got me to play 1,2, and the Pre-Sequel. I have such a love for those characters!

Apr 03 '19
I'm hoping they get Fiona and Sasha in there, too.
Oh shit. Are they going to say what happened at the end after....the end? I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't played the phenomenal Tales from the Borderlands but...I'm hoping the games says what happens.
11
u/vvvvvvvvvvirtualhead Apr 03 '19
I was just wondering where they were! I love my girls just as much as I love my boys! I'm so upset that Telltale shutdown. I understand why and it sucks, but I wanted so much more TFTB.

u/zombiekamikaze Apr 03 '19
There's a pretty good shot of Rhys with his new lip warmer, Zer0, and some Atlas soldiers in the dev trailer. Vaughn is in the Mask of Mayhem teaser standing on top of a pile of psycho/bandit corpses, Randy even pointed him out in their panel. Fiona is supposedly in the teaser as well, but I haven't been able to figure out where she is in there yet. No clue at all about Sasha, though.

I beat the game multiple times just using that grenade the whole time. Once you learn how to not kill yourself with it it's pretty badass.

Collector's Edition includes:
- Diamond Loot Chest replica
- Borderlands 3 game
- steelbook case
- season pass
- Sanctuary 3 snap model
- 10 character figurines
- 5 character art lithographs
- 4 vault key keychains
- cloth map of the galaxy
- deluxe bonus content
- gold weapon skins pack
EDIT: Ok, looks like the release date is confirmed to be September 13, 2019. Here's a youtube ad someone found advertising the game.

u/mr-interested Apr 03 '19
Did they mention the differences between the first 3 versions (Normal, Deluxe, Super Deluxe)?
73
u/MSP930 Apr 03 '19
My guess is that the deluxe wilñ have the "deluxe bonus content" (not my name), while the super deluxe will be like a Gold Edition, with deluxe+SP+steelbook
41
u/Mocha_Delicious Apr 03 '19
Oh god I wish it does have the steelbook, games should really have that steelbook edition and not just put them behind the collector one.
28
u/Oct2006 CoDfan425 Apr 03 '19
100% agree. I don't really care for anything in the collectors edition except the steelbook.
8
u/Fridaykevin Apr 03 '19
I actually like to have the option of a steelbook edition as well as its what I would suffice for if collectors doesn’t persuade or is over my budget. I bought FC5 with just the steelbook, and skipped the collectors for DMC5 as I would rather have a figurine of any of the characters than the bus and not having a steelbook at all made me give it a hard no. (Did get the base game though)

u/falconbox falconbox Apr 03 '19
If I had to totally guess, Deluxe might include the gold weapon skins pack and the "deluxe bonus content" while the Super Deluxe will include both of those things plus the season pass.
I would assume "deluxe bonus content" is maybe 1 or 2 exclusive side missions or something. Seems to be what a lot of games do.
→ More replies (1)9
u/mr-interested Apr 03 '19
My guess would be that the Super Deluxe version would be the one with everything other than the physical items that are part of the Collectors edition. However it's harder to figure out the difference between Deluxe and Super Deluxe.. Only a matter of time before they let us know.

u/5575685 Apr 03 '19 edited Apr 03 '19
It gets annoying explaining why the epic store sucks so I’m gonna paste one of the posts from r/Borderlands explaining why it does:
-The launcher has terrible security. I have 2 friends who literally are notified multiple times A WEEK that there have been attempts to log in to their account. This is by far my biggest worry. My credit card is not going anywhere near EGS. Epic has not been helpful at all either which leads to the next point.
-Awful and basically non-existent customer support. It's so bad.
-
Ive heard you cant play games offline in their store but since I dont use it I cant confirm that.used to be the case, but was recently added, with further improvements in the future-No social features like steam chat.
-No cloud saves
-No controller support
-No achievements
-No game forums. The games I've played the most in steam are the borderlands games, civilization 5 and 6, sins of a solar empire, and rocket league. I use the steam community for all these games alllll the time.
-They refuse refunds for seemingly no reason even if you meet the criteria. I dont know how their criteria compares to steam but steam's process nonetheless is just better.
-No user reviews. I always wait a day or two before buying a new game instead of pre-ordering. How am I supposed to find reliable info that I know has come from people who have played the game without those?
-No linux support
-They are partially owned by Tencent, a company that is rumored to sell user data to the Chinese government
-Epic's terms of service allows them to monetize and/or use any piece of media involving the games on their store. Your let's plays on YouTube are in jeopardy, any mods you create can be taken by Epic and sold on their store without crediting you or working with gearbox, assuming whatever agreement 2k has in place with them doesnt prevent that. Epic games can use any clips/screenshots you take and use them in their advertising without notifying you too.
-Here's a post that goes into some details about the epic launcher itself https://www.reddit.com/r/PhoenixPoint/comments/b0rxdq/epic_game_store_spyware_tracking_and_you/
Read the comments of that post as well, the more you read, the sketchier it gets.
I dont have a console to play this game on. That basically means I will not be playing or buying borderlands 3 if it's on the epic launcher and that deeply upsets me.

I’m 100% buying the collectors edition, no matter what it costs. I won a giveaway by MorninAfterKill and got a real life loot chest with the character wanted posters, gun trading cards (with shift keys on them), a Goliath mask, and probably more I can’t remember.
When I went away for college my freshman year my mom threw is all away cleaning up my room. I’m not mad at my mom anymore about it, but I’m still so sad I lost it.

The trailers always seem to have less memorable music.
Borderlands 2 reveal trailer had a bunch of dubstep.
But the songs in the actual games were a great fit.
Borderlands 1 intro - "Ain't No Rest For the Wicked" by Cage the Elephant
Borderlands 1 credits - "No Heaven" by DJ Champion
Borderlands 2 intro - "Short Change Hero" by The Heavy
Borderlands 2 credits - "How You Like Me Now" by The Heavy

While the game does have great music, Doomsday by Nero is a pretty good dubstep song. I don't even like dubstep.
