>Borderlands developer Gearbox Software has revealed a new VR project that will welcome 16 soon to be graduates from Southern Methodist University's game dev-focused Guildhall programme.

>The youthful team—which consists of artists Mario Rodriguez Devanshu Bishnoi, Nina Davis, Taylor Gallagher, Taylor McCart and Mace Mulleady; designers Michael Feffer, Alexandre Foures, Steve Kocher, Jacob Lavender and Sam Pate; and programmers Taylor Bishop, Nicholas Dorbin, Benjamin D. Gibson, Clay Howell and K. Komal Shashank—has already entered into the world of VR development, having released the HTC Vive-exclusive Mouse Playhouse earlier this year.

"In this year’s graduating cohort, I am very excited that such an amazing group of talent has emerged from the program prepared to hit the ground running with research and development in Virtual Reality," Gearbox's CEO Randy Pitchford told SMU.

Director of SMU Guildhall Gary Brubaker added: "SMU Guildhall students, under the mentorship of our world class faculty, work in interdisciplinary teams in the style and pace of the game industry throughout their tenure with us.

"This intentional interaction allows artists, programmers, designers, and producers to flow through 3+ team game projects and make a seamless transition into the gaming industry, as is showcased by this phenomenal partnership with Gearbox Software."

Since when? The only Borderlands I've played is like 30 minutes of the first, and I quit that shit instantly largely because how much of an annoying cunt he was.

>randy said he is excited about "amazing" "talent" emerging from their program "ready" to work on
obviously this means this program don't actually exist, and these alleged people are some sort of coverup for another embezzling scheme or are paying randy to be there as go-fers.

:^)

Let me guess they're trying to do the Valve way of hiring fresh people with new ideas so they can capitalize on those ideas--therefore not really having to come up with their own games

Gearbox will fuck it all up though and hire SJW devs with some stupid vapid shit they think is cool but will fail because gearbox's analysts and pr is a fucking disaster.

Are you Taylor (male)?

>"""""""""""""""graduates"""""""""""""""

I hate "Game industry :3" graduate and in general, "game design" and "game program/model/art/sound" degree are meme degree.

It makes me cringe to be honest and graduate are shit are making true,real videogame, they only know how to make demo at this point. They should not be working with other graduate, they should be working with professional and assisted carefully to themselve become professional.

Game design degree are meme because it only work in the videogame industry which is very saturated at the time.
Everyone want to be the next Carmack/Romero, everyone want to make the new doom and zelda.

I'm impressed how Randy is keeping such a shit streak going, and manages to keep his company afloat for now

C'mon now, TF2 and CSS wouldnt exist without Valve. CSS is objectively literally (insert other buzzword) an upgrade from CS 1.6 and there's no way anyone can hate this game after playing CS 1.6

Is this an effort to quadruple Blunderborne's playerbase?

So Gearbox's next game will look like Andromeda?

>>377049449
If they manage to make something worse than the borderlands games or battleborn I will legitimately be surprised.

Reminder that Gearbox plagiarized Codehunters.
>Credit was never given to Hibon until the plagiarism was pointed out, Randy Pitchford said: "artists and designers at Gearbox were inspired and influenced by it." Earlier versions of the work had no cell-shading whatsoever.

BIGOT

How many years does Gearbox have (God helping they don't trick another publisher into giving them money again) ?

>>377050269
Not long given how fast devs can implode on themselves once they stop producing sellers, I'm surprised they're still running after the Battleborn flop.

>>377050269
They have until Borderlands 3 is released. If that's not massively successful Gearbox is done.

Why must Randy do something embarassing every single month? Just give us a break you sad pathetic cuck.

>>377048739
They forgot to put in a comma.

>>377046734
>Gearbox yet again trying to make some new shitty game instead of another borderlands game
They must really hate money. Borderlands is literally the only thing they've got going for themselves at this point.
