It's a hoot with others as you get more enemies and more loot
Downside is you do have to save your friends occasionally.
You’ve saved me loads
Soldato
Yeah but that's the thing I regret most in life! 
Soldato
To my shame!
Only a year to the sequel though!

He never saves me. Just always went off to get the loot first and then come back!

Borderlands 3 - First Hands-On Preview - Easy Allies
Was it on PC? I'm at work so haven't got the sound on, looking at the way they move it looks like its on console which might explain the FOV. I'm sure it will have adjustable FOV on the PC. Does look good though, more Borderlands is always a plus in my book

They are definately playing on a controller in that clip, I'm sure they will include an FOV slider, BL's is so nice with a large FOV

It was on PC, I watched the reveal and then some streamers playing it. The graphics options were disabled so they couldn't adjust anything.
They were all playing with a controller to for some reason and no K&M.

Looks like Gearbox are stuck in a time warp.
Looks like Borderlands 1 or 2 DLC.
Now I enjoyed the BL series, but I would expect things to have moved on in a decade since they released the first game.
Where is the destructibility in creatures and the environment for example.

That was explained in the video that Gearbox feel there's no one else out there doing what Borderlands is doing, so they want to keep to the recipe. I'm sure a lot of fans just want "more of the same" rather than messing with the game to do something different, and then finding it's not what the fans wanted.
There have been changes and improvements, but it seems to be more refinement than re-invention.

The other side of the coin is that it's an easy excuse for not developing the engine (takes time and money) or design (takes expertise).
No innovation = stagnation.

Loved BL2 but when I played the pre sequel I just found it boring and more of the same.
If this is mostly just the same stuff I am not sure I will bother.

I think they have developed, (they were demoing new lighting, materials, shading, etc in the engine years back) but they don't want to lose sight of what a Borderlands game is. Otherwise you might as well be complaining that a new story is old hat because the book uses the same typeface as the previous one.
It's a difficult line to walk when your game has such an identity. Make it the same as the old one, and it's just the same old stuff, make it too different, and it's no longer Borderlands. I'm sure Gearbox are aware of this and are conscious of trying to push the game without taking it away from the Borderlands identity.

Looks amazing, more of the same is what I want, it's a winning formula.
