EG - Having not played much Borderlands and only having cursory knowledge of the series, I approached Tales From the Borderlands at this E3 with a bit of apprehension. Sure, it would offer fan service to veterans of Gearbox's open-world shooting series, but two games and a smattering of DLC hardly seems like the sort of inviting, expansive universe of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead or Bill Willingham's Fables series.
From VGC: "Gearbox has announced that it’s working on a new Tales from the Borderlands game.
Released in 2014 and developed by Telltale Games, the original Tales from the Borderlands is a five-part episodic game set on Pandora between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3.
Gearbox is developing the “all new Tales from the Borderlands adventure”, which will be published by 2K later this year."
Wish they’d come up with a fresh IP all together. While the animation is fine, the story and “cheeky” characters, and millions of weapons just don’t do anything for me. It’s time for something non-borderlands related in my opinion. With each sequel they seem to take the route more is better, and that’s just not always the case.
Did that game really do okay? Isn’t that what made telltale collapse? I played the first episode and it was kinda terrible. Had no desire to finish it.
First Tales from the Borderlands is my favorite game I loved so much I bought it on PS3, PS4, and XB1. The intro to episode 4 was so friggin good I never knew who Twin Shadow was until I heard that intro.
I just find it funny TT games become so oversaturated because there was so many of them coming out, yet it seems now that TT are back in the game they are slowly doing the same mistake which lead to their original downfall.
Maybe focus on one or two projects, get them finished and start another.
Also they just constantly rely on existing franchises rather than doing something brand new from scratch.

It's a great game one of my favorite TellTales games the intro music by TwinStick for episode 4 was great I really wish this game had a sequel in the works I would buy it day one.
I enjoyed it but it had some technical issues like all Telltale games . I would give it 4/5
The TellTale adventure game Tales from the Borderlands is now available on the Nintendo Switch.
i love this game and the borderlands series xD
the switch port however crashed a bunch of times on me
loading times are really long and the graphics just dont match with the ps3 and ps4 versions.
Can't wait love both games from 2k and telltale, awesome mash up.
Honestly, I had a hard time enjoying the first installment. Became repetitive too quickly...all I did was pick stuff up, even after I had already done so. B2 was much better, more streamlined in that sense imo. Telltales has done a great job with TWD and TWAU, I expect the same type of quality for the Borderlands version. Good potential for a great story that we never got with Gearbox exploring the unknowns.
But I'm really looking forward to telltales Game of Thrones.
