Thanks for the heads up on Fallout London, looks interesting.

Agreed. I don't expect them to copy the plot from any of the games, they are free to make their own story in the Borderlands universe. But if it is to make sense it needs to at least capture the feeling of the games and Pandora, and the main characters here just seem wrong in their intended...

I love the games and have amassed more than a thousand hours in them, but making movies based on games just seems like a quick cash grab. Maybe if they have picked up something from the Tales From The Borderlands games it could be OK, but the casting would still feel wrong to me.

Looks OK I guess, but a FPS mode would be nice. And I hope there isn't a lot of those stupid "These guys never quit!" and "That went well!" phrases, over and over, like you're stuck in a straight to video 80's action movie.

That's actually required by law, if I'm not mistaken. But there's more to this than greed. The developement cost has risen, components are more expensive now and the market has shrunk significantly, thus making the price of each unit dearer to recoup costs.

Looks like the priority when casting was to get the biggest names for the least amount of money, betting that very few of the audience would have any knowledge of the games anyway. But what makes the games fun are the sheer craziness and fast pace of everything, casting the Golden Girls for that...

You don't have to wait. Just buy the originals on the cheap and head to the Nexus for fan made graphical upgrades that will likely more than match these "remasters".

I wish for a remake of X-Wing and Tie Fighter, with proper new age graphics.

Hahaha, that is quite amusing. :)

Maybe it has been answered in this thread before, but how are the NPC's this time around? Are they more natural acting than in previous games or do they still say random things like "I took a laser to my knee" when you pass them? The random sentences spoken out loud was something that really...

Sacrifice.

I'm sure this series has been made to be monsters for AI, scientific and rendering purposes first of all, improvements in gaming is just a side effect.

That would be the proper way of doing it. Where did you get that number btw?

When are the first independent tests expected?

Does the 70% profit margin include the cost of R&D and parts that needs to be rejected in production due to faults, things like that?
