Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big fan of the Borderlands series, so I was very excited to hear of the pre-sequel in the past week, and on hearing it I begun my research (as you do).
The 4 new playable characters are:
Athena 'The Gladiator' who has a temporary shield that can absorb damage and convert it into energy that can be used against enemies
Wilhelm 'The Enforcer' a human who with the right upgraded can be transformed into the cybernetic badass you face in Borderlands 2
Lynchwood sheriff Nisha 'The Lawbringer'
And Claptrap 'The Fragtrap', Yes Claptrap is a playable character I love this so much.
Each character will have their own specific skill trees that will be upgraded in the classic Borderlands style.
The storyline focuses on Handsome Jack and his attempt to escape his exile from the Hyperion moonbase, and take over it for his own plans. The characters named above begin as Handsome Jacks mercenaries. Jack will begin with good intentions and as the story expands he gets twisted and it shows his fall into evil and how he is twisted into what he is on the Borderlands 2 story.
The game will be placed on Pandoras moon and there will be low gravity so jumping is higher and players can use oxygen tanks like jetpacks to perform double jumps, hover and ground slam attacks, there will be different kinds of oxygen tanks that provide stat bonuses, and ad elemental damage to the ground slam attacks. 2 new weapon types are also introduced to this game and they are laser based and cryogenic weaponry.
This game will be relaesed on PC, Xbox360 and the PS3 on October, 17th 2014.
