We saw New Tales from the Borderlands in action, and the classic series DNA seems to be alive and well, alongside an interesting new minigame.
Tales from the Borderlands is considered by many to be one of the best stories crafted by the no-longer-defunct Telltale Games. It’s mix of humor, action, and surprising amount of heart left a strong impression with players. Now, the series returns with New Tales from the Borderlands, an all new interactive narrative game.
“Our choices are designed so that their flow feels natural,” Lin Joyce, head of writing at Gearbox, tells Digital Trends. “Rather than using indicator text … the characters themselves are going to respond in ways that make their feelings clear. We wanted to keep you immersed in the experience, and let the game do the talking.”
The branching paths are demonstrated in the next scene, as the team decides whether to take a non-violent approach or kill everyone they see. Fran is pushing the more murderous method that is selected, and Anu’s expression is visibly upset with the decision. “QTE’s can be notoriously ruthless,” James Lopez, Director of Production at Gearbox, tells Digital Trends. “Our accessibility features allow you to dial it up or down speed-wise. If you want a big challenge you can make it more difficult …. or you can dial it down and make it easier. “
The battle takes place zoomed in on the figurines, and is presented like a classic 2D fighting game, health bars and all. The figurines have unique stats, and skills. They swing at each like they are wielded by disgruntled toddlers, cheered on by an announcer who sounds ripped straight from Killer Instinct. Octavio outmatches his opponent, winning safe passage, and the figurine that was just defeated.
