Supposedly he took the funds that Sega gave him for the Aliens game, and instead of using said funds on said game, he put most of their money into Borderlands 2.

>>381058829
Gearbox funneled funds from Colonial Marines to fund the development of Borderlands 2 then farmed out the development of CM to the lowest bidder.

>>381058706
SEGA paid them to make Aliens: Colonial Marines. If I'm not mistaken, they made the multiplayer component and then outsourced the single player campaign to a nobody company for cents on the dollar. It was a disaster. Duke Nukem Forever didn't turn out so well either and their own games, Borderlands and Battleborn, are pretty shitty too. They're not a good company and are not to be trusted.

>>381058934
Was there an agreement between Sega and Gearbox that the money should be only spend on the Alien game? Or Sega just threw money at Gearbox?

Actually, the money SEGA gave to Gearbox to produce Colonial Marines back in 2006 was used to fund the development for Borderlands lmao, they kept bullshitting how there were technical difficulties and they were working on it.

Then, they developed Borderlands 2. At this point, they only think they developed for Colonial Marines was a technical demo and a multi-player demo.

At this point, it was coming up to 2012 and 6 years into development. SEGA threated legal action, Gearbox promised they were on it but they had actually done nothing so they just outsourced multiple aspects of the game to studios all over.

The single-player and multi-player were done by multiple studios, and it was a shit show.

They really fucked SEGA over.

Pre-Sequel was a huge disappointment in itself, zero real marketing can tell they swept it under and shipped with an enormous amount of bullshit that didn't get fixed until 6 months later.
Speaks for itself that every after Borderlands 2 that Gearbox did is pretty much cash grab trash. Given both Battleborn and Borderlands Pre Sequel have under 500 players each.
Meanwhile both Borderlands 1 and 2 have around 5 to 8k players actively.

Bit overall worried to see him attempt borderlands 3 now. I feel like they will rush it out the door like the pre sequel now that they are in financial trouble.

Look at all the fags in here getting upset over Sega's retarded business practices.

Now I fucking hate Randy like any rational human being, but if Gearbox were so easily able to take advantage of Sega while apparently doing nothing illegal, Sega is retarded and entirely at fault for naive business practice.

If Sega successfully sued Gearbox for it that's another story however.

>>381062219
They started banning people over talking about mod support for 2 and pre sequel on their official forums and alienated the shit out of themselves like that. That's how.

>>381058118

You're missing the point. It was Gearbox that ruined Aliens: Colonial Marines (and Duke Nukem Forever), not SEGA. OP's pic suggests there might be a dark future ahead of us where Gearbox gets to collaborate with IO on next Hitman.

Yeah except it was Gearshits responsibility for making the game you retard. They saw Borderlands and its success and though albeit wrong, that Gearshit was a competent developer. Nobody couldve predicted their fuck up.

>>381058118
I hope this will be the new Bitchford thing: asking developers on Twitter if they want to work together, only to be completely ignored
One can dream

>>381062615
It's published by Sega though?

It's Sega's job to make sure the developers deliver the game correctly and on time, I see what you're saying how's gearbox fucked Sega around, but at the end of the day it was Sega's responsibility to its shareholders to prevent/stop/avoid that, and yet they didn't, got fucked by rent seeking developers, and yet still released a sub-par product.

Gearbox may have fucked Aliens up, but the game was Sega's responsibility and it's just as much their fault - if Sega was actually fully involved and invested in making a great game (re: if they gave a fuck) the shit Gearbox did on Sega's dime wouldn't have been possible.

Everyone needs to twitter spam IO now about how Gearbox is shit. The position their in right now, they might actually accept the offer.

I don't know, should we also blame them for buying the Homeworld franchise and hire the original creators to make a new game?

>>381063102
Just tweet any of the screencaps of Randy's Twitter, and keep mentioning the funneling of money

>>381062909

Gearbox has been shit for some time, so hard in fact that they even managed to ruin a good franchise they themselves made:

https://youtu.be/IK2s982TzxQ


Brothers In Arms was a decent squad-based shooter with actually good cover mechanics to them. But after Borderlands 2 they decided to "Badass it up". Feedback on the trailer alone was so bad the whole thing was canceled immediatly.

And of course it fucking failed, Brothers in Arms games were played by a playerbase who also liked military shooters and other squad-based shooter games, they liked the mix of arcadey shooter with realism in it. They weren't the same audience who played and liked Borderlands.

>>381061384
I don't see the appeal, FPS ARPG loot game. Literally bullet sponges and fixed classes aren't very appealing.

>>381062909

I don't get why GB doesn't just do the job they were given

They have made good shit in the past like opposing force. Or have they purged all their talent already? Just what are they doing? BB looked like a mobile game

>>381063367
I don't think Randy quite understands that the Borderlands world is it's own thing and doesn't need to mesh elsewhere. He's trying to hard to make the image that is Borderlands the image of gearbox overall, because to be frank it is their most successful game.

>>381063074

>Gearbox may have fucked Aliens up, but the game was Sega's responsibility and it's just as much their fault

Theres only so much responsibility publishers have, they can't control the quality of the product all by themselves, thats why they have someone to make the game FOR them in the first place.

Publishers usually manage to ruin games by executive meddling like demanding stupid shit put on the game or fucking with the budget and contract itself, but Sega did nothing like that with Aliens: Colonial Marines. Aliens was a fuckup of Gearbox and Gearbox alone.

>>381063367
This looks like a fake video game trailer you'd see in a movie or something. Like in Tropic Thunder where you have the trailers for the fake movies within the movie, this would literally be one of those trailers. That's how generic and farcical it is. What an abomination.

>>381063565
If stories stand true to it, Sega knew full well Gearbox wasn't actually doing the work given the final product was shown off in some studio in Texas. Sega wasn't about to be responsible for the game even though they funded it. Seems fucking retarded to me that Sega would do that to begin with.

Its the best Arpg-FPS hybrid out there, even when counting Destiny. Kill-time on common enemies is still short enough for it to feel like a shooter. Borderlands 2 started suffering because of the Burch family but was not ruined by them because the main writer was still someone else.

After Borderlands 2 developers inside Gearbox started leaving one by one and Gear started having a habit of commissioning the development of their games to other smaller companies. This is the reason why Borderlands: Pre-Sequel and Aliens: Colonial Marines both suck ass. Well, Pre-Sequel also sucks thanks to Anthony Burch getting full rein of the storywriting, so you literally couldn't ignore or escape all the shitty internet memes and references to feminism anymore.

>>381063565
So what you're saying is Sega gave them the money to develop the game, but did nothing of the "usual" publisher things to make sure development was on track, deadlines were being met, goals were being pushed, etc.?

So Sega did nothing that a publisher "usually" would to make sure the development of their product was going as-planned, and yet it was entirely Gearboxes fault?

Business are profit seeking entities, Gearbox is trying to seek a profit through its own goals, as is Sega. If Sega employed Gearbox, and then gave Gearbox absolute freedom and did none of the rings publishers "usually" do then of course Gearbox used that funding to pursue their own goals - and any non-retarded person would assume this.

It's Sega's own fault for their shitty business practice, and apparent complete apathy towards the usual development process and how Aliens turned out.

>>381064051
>Its the best Arpg-FPS hybrid out there

IO isn't a bunch of oblivious normalfags, you know. They're actual industry people with experience, like basically every well-respected game company and a large number of poorly-respected game companies.

They know who the fuck Gearbox is. They've seen the company get lashed and humiliated time and time again. Gearbox is a joke, and that's a hard-as-diamond fact.

Pitchford's offer will be turned down if it doesn't fall on deaf ears entirely.

>quality control drastically plummeted after Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina
The fuck happened Randy, why did you toss the keys to the kingdom to Burch and fuck everything up on the Pre-Sequel when it could have printed money, why did you have to fuck up and make a pre-sequel when you knew that knobjockey was gonna ruin it and instead just went forward with a proper third game.

>>381064483
No, and I'm only learning about this one now, in this thread.

But it's honestly just really poor business practice on Sega's part - have they not sued Gearbox to recover some costs? Or is it just that their contract was incomplete, and Gearbox was able to do what they did yet still remain within the terms of the contract?

Either way, from a business point of view, it's on Sega. Buyer beware.

>>381064642
Randy should have killed Burch when he had the chance.

>>381064642

You forgot to add "badass" in it.

>>381064461
It's not that there was no legal requirement so much as the law is really fucking stupid. As long as there was any form of effort being made, Gearbox could reasonably deny ill intent. The law basically cannot discern fraud vs incompetency. If Sega tried to sue Gearbox for funneling money into other projects, all Gearbox had to do was claim incompetency, which is a fucking ironclad defense for them because even their serious projects are terrible, Sega would be shit out of luck. This is even explicitly what happened after Colonial Marines came out and there was a class action lawsuit against Gearbox for false advertising and the case was thrown out because "any reasonable expecting customer knows that demos and trailers are misleading anyways".

The biggest bit of wrongdoing you could point at Sega was not being more strict with their milestones and such, but they gave the project to Gearbox thinking that if you gave them creative freedom you'd get another Borderlands out of it, which is foolish because not even Gearbox knows how to get another Borderlands again.

>>381064882
Sega did sue Gearbox unsuccessfully.
Basically it boiled down to Sega should have done it's fucking job as a publishing company. What can you expect from a company that sold it's soul to the Yakuza for that Pachinko money. You would expect them to protect their assets better, but obviously that's not the case.

>>381064618
Pre-Sequel got outsourced becauseRandy wanted to work on "other projects".
I supposed Battleborn's unfortunate release date might be due to Gearbox needing to make Claptastic Voyage after 2k Australia shut down.

>>381064642
>Oh shit. I'm sorry.

>>381062381
Believe it or not, but /v/ isn't the official archive on Randy's/Gearbox's failures. There's a reason you don't see anyone jumping at the chance to work with them.

He'll get a polite "Great, thanks!" and never be contacted again.

>>381064934
Okay now I'm understanding more fully. So there was definitely an element of goodwill that went towards Gearbox getting the contract in the first place.

Sega still should have done a better job monitoring development, but now I can see how you're pissed at Gearbox for doing a 'good enough' job, instead of the best job they could have, for an IP you care about.

Fuck Gearbox then, and Sega get your head out of your ass.

>>381064934
Borderlands 1 and 2 had great advertising. 2 especially building off the hype of the loot from the first game. 1 had all solid dlc and 2 had some of the most fan pandered dlc which made it great in itself. People wanted more Tiny Tina, Torgue and Hammerlock along with got on with pirates somehow. I think this overall success went to their heads and effectively made them lazy fucks sadly.

Actually you know what this succinctly explains it right here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega#Continued_expansion_and_acquisitions_.282005.E2.80.932013.29

From 2005 to 2013 Sega had begun trying everything they could to get a bigger marketshare in the west so they started buying up a bunch of western properties and teams and licensing projects out to western studios hoping that they would become big successes in the west and make Sega a bigger name.

All of this shit did terribly and there were massive layoffs and Sega had to undergo a huge restructuring, leading to 2015 where Haruki Satomi took over as CEO and things have been more structured and focused on the things that Sega has done well previously. I was mostly pulling those years out of my ass but I hit it spot on.

>>381058118

Pretty much, Randy is only kept around in hopes he can pull Borderlands 3 out of his ass and wrap the series up with some justice. After seeing the PreSequel no one really wants to see what will happen though. Still playing 1 and 2 over here and hoping the third game will be good, but I doubt it.

I sure as hell will.

I seriously wonder why these TF2 clones keep going for the mobashit instead of actually trying to copy TF2. I mean look at TF2, nothing in terms of visuals and sound is overused or neglected, clearly defined class roles with little to no overlap yet highly versatile and able to fit several playstyles, and best of all it strikes a good balance between teamplay requirement and individual-led victory.

Problem with Hellgate:London is its barely an FPS. Borderlands had the right idea of getting the FPS-feel to the guns, plus the gun generator had as simple but important FPS-related differences to them like different recoils, clips, shooting speeds, different scopes, ammo clip sizes and so on. Two White Jacobs shotguns can still feel wildly different from each other when shooting them. Enemies still died relatively fast so the game still felt like an FPS. Bullet-sponginess only started becoming a problem in Borderlands games new game plus or some of the later stages.

Biggest problem with both Borderlands games was the Arpg elements otherwise are kinda crap. The gun-generator makes for a lot of fun loot but skills in the game are kinda shit. So when a new loot-based shooter comes out, it should just take the good ideas of Borderlands (short kill-time, gun-generator) and add in some actual Arpg skill system to it.

No one wants to make a gun generator like borderlands and put in the work for all the part generation and shit that comes along with it.

That era of Gearbox was just doing wetworks. Half-Life, Tony Hawk, Halo, 007, Counter-Strike (lol). They made Borderlands as means to have something to call their own, because Brothers in Arms wasn't exactly a hot property. Everything after Borderlands 1 was basically their JUST era.

>>381067862
While you're right that it's much less FPS than I would've wanted, I think the main thing that killed it was the subscription model.

>>381067525

This. It's such a well designed game that it can survive with several hundred gigabytes of retarded cosmetics, weapon reskins, and retarded Valve updates. What other game in history can claim that?

>>381064608

>>381068017

Well if they want to be the next best Arpg-shooter, then they pretty much have to. Destiny's biggest problem is the loot is kinda boring and enemies are way too bullet-spongy.

Because part of the appeal of Arpgs is searching for that loot in the first place. And if the loot is always the same in every playthrough, then its not as fun. Farming for that epic unique is part of the appeal of Arpgs, if you get it too easily (like D3 Auction House bullshit), then theres no point finding loot and the game loses its purpose.

>>381069691
Borderlands took it to a nice level, create a bunch of manufacturer that have unique traits then build around restrictions of what can't occur.

I just find it baffling how bad Battleborn ended up being.

Gearbox have a successful FPS franchise with Borderlands, and for some reason didn't make Battleborn part of that world or advertise it as such. The BEST thing you can do with a new IP if your organization already have successful ones is link them together to make people interested.

Look at Volition's Agents of Mayhem. It's practically a new IP, but since they aren't total idiots the game is set in the Saints Row universe and you can play as Johnny Gat, a beloved character in that universe. They knew the game wouldn't sell all too well without the setting.

Gearbox then had the fucking great idea to release the game on the SAME DAY that Overwatch, Battleborn's main competitor, started its open beta. I still cannot believe they actually did that. Could they not have cut out a few characters and released the game earlier? The game probably would've made most of its money back by basically being a warm-up for Overwatch for people who couldn't play it at that point, but no. Release it when the entire world are playing a much better game.

I have absolutely no business experience and I'm still pretty sure I'd be a better CEO than Randy. What an idiot.

>>381067525
I always get confused as well. TF2 is a class based shooter in the purest of terms. Each class has a distinct role or at least something that one class can do that another can't. Most of these "class shooters" (I just call them character shooters) have different characters to fill the same basic role just with slight tweaks everywhere and with so many "classes", balancing is a nightmare compared to 9 distinct classes with their own specialites.

I wouldn't be that hard on Randy regarding the OW part. He had a project already going, Blizzard decided to turn Titan into an fps, and his fucking character designer together with Metzen meshed a stupidly appealing rooster to hit everyone's depraved and power fantasies.

Afaik BB didn't do so bad in consoles, it tried too hard to be unique, but it ended up being a shitty moba spinoff with some weird campaign and some cringy characters. I think this is comparable to rolling 1 twice in a row during a D&D game, they invested too much, and expected things to work without curating them enough with a focus group, and thought they had the money in their pocket just because they already had done a very successful FPS before.

BB is indeed a failure, but I think at some point they had the potential to make a decent game, but they went too far, lost focus of their goals, and ended up shipping a half assed game that no one likes, the difference is usually this kind of garbage games are shipped with way less content and characters, but they commited to it naively.

But you're right about the Borderland characters on BB, it worked great for HoTs, I don't see why it wouldn't work for BB at least a bit.

Seriously, if Randy had any sense, he would've found a way to delay the release, just enough to not coincide with OW open beta.
I'm sure someone at Blizzard is fucking watching BB actions, just to make sure every time they announce or release something, OW does as well. And I fucking love them for it.

If you're wondering why they bottle up one playstyle in a class and release them en masse compared to versatile TF2 classes, it's simply because... it's easier. And they can generate more hype when they release a new class down the road instead of keeping 9-ish classes viable against each other.

To folks talking about Sega ITT:

As someone who is a huge Sega fan, and follows the company pretty hardcore, I will say that Sega DID fuck up themselves by not doing the proper oversight that a publisher should, but they did at least sort of have a reason.

All the people in charge of CM were basically fired in everything but name at that point. Sega had intended to buy a publisher and essentially replace Sega of America with them. It ended up being Atlus USA. The huge lay offs that had gone on between 2010 and 2014 were all waves of getting rid of parts of Sega of America, leaving essentially a skeleton crew behind from 2012 on. They started rehiring and now Sega of America is basically new people. But at the time, the two big projects that they were in charge of overseeing was Sonic Boom and Aliens: CM. It's a small wonder that those games turned out to be shit.

I put part of the fault on Sega, because maybe it's not a good idea to make it very clear that your employees have no future at your company, and then give them a ton of responsibility.

I think you guys are giving Randy to much shit.

>>381088497
Also asked "politely" to the guy in charge of the Duke Megaton Edition to remove it from Steam because Randy wanted to make shekels with his sub par World Tour Edition. Oh and the guy was using the funds from the Megaton Edition to pay for his wife's hospital bills but no biggie lel :^)

ANTHONY BURCH IS GETTING MARRIED AGAIN TO A LANDWHALE WITH AN OPEN RELATIONSHIP.

https://twitter.com/laurasaurusrex/status/875225774650925057

WHY DOES HE WANT HIS SWITCH TAKEN?!

>>381090295
>le quirky face

Can this faggot be serious about marriage for 1 second ? He already did this with his first one where they married in jeans, played with water guns, ate pizza and read a Half-Life book (in place of the Bible I guess). Top fucking wew.

>>381090568
It's the same kind of laissez faire attitude that probably killed his first relationship, it's pretty obvious neither of them have any intention of working at, or dealing with any problems they might run into. It'll just be passive-aggressive cucking until she leaves him in a year or two.

Possibly goty for me and it's a great starting point for people new to the series. If you enjoy it then you can get the remake of the first game in a month or so

All they had to do was make Chivalry again with more maps, more weapons, more classes and decent fucking combat. Call it Chivalry II.

Instead to produce some meme setting with the old shitty combat system but now there's abilities in there. No thanks!

Gearbox only did multiplayer and QA for DNF, the game was actually developed (from scratch, again) by a skeleton crew of ex-3D Realms guys litering working out of some guys house over just a 2 year period.

Dont forget how they made an entire video dedicated to how much they love the alien franchise, assuring the fanbase they will do right by it. Then funneled the cash into Borderlands and hired some shit tier dev studio to just make a COD clone

>>381059754
>Duke Nukem was shit from the start
Fuck you, obviously a piece of shit hipster who only cares about story and presentation.
Duke has some of the best fucking level design in any FPS.

>>381066553
>wrap the series up

Unless 3 bombs on the level of all the other shit they've released lately there's no way they'll end it here. Said bombing of all those games has to have made it clear to them that they're nothing beyond Borderlands and the second it dries it they are completely fucking boned. I can't see 3 doing well anyway, there's no way we're seeing it before late 2018 and it's already been so long since 2 that Destiny's came out, grabbed the market, and has a sequel on the verge of release.

>Duke

No, screw you. Only one person is responsible for what Duke Nukem became and that's George Broussard. I will literally fight you if you try to take credit away from that cunt and his constant fucking up. 1998 demo of DNF could have been a released game, 2001 looked great, the others had potential. Then what did we get? We got bullshit where it was revealed that people who worked at 3D Realms for 2-3 years did nothing but work on single fucking maps, changing it all the time to suit Broussard and his constant changing tastes. Always wanting the game to be like what he just played. At one point the game was a CoD clone, all because George liked MW2. That fat fuck collected pogs, played video games constantly, took his sports cars to the track and raced against id (who had actually released games) did everything but finish a fucking game and turned his company into a laughing stock and made his sole franchise into a meme that only Gabe Newell has managed to surpass with HL3.

Don't you ever dare try to push the blame of Duke Nukem on anyone else you cunt. Fuck you, George. I will never not be salty about what you did to what was a childhood defining series.
