Gearbox trademarks “Borderworlds”
Update: Apparently the trademark was filed Aug 1, 2007 which was the same day Gearbox filed a trademark for Borderlands. Maybe it was a toss up between two names then, we reckon.
Original: As spotted by Superannuation, Gearbox has trademarked “Borderworlds” in the US.
Borderlands is pick of 2K’s bunch at the moment, having apparently singlehandedly saved the company from a sticky financial wicket this quarter. The firm said in its earnings call last night that the SRPG is to become a “key” fixture in its future line-up.
There’s nothing else. That’s all there is.

I *hope* it’s an MMO. Who in their right mind would say no to a Diablo-like MMOFPS?

It was “Diablo-like” for me especially with the amount of loot that drops. Killing endless mobs and then looking at the ground to see what dropped if thats not Diablo I dunno what is.

@Tonka
You obviously never played the game. Look at Mad World too. It had “cartoon shit” and it was a dark and moody game plus plenty of gore.

sounds okay to me. Borderlands was boring as hell singleplayer. Multiplayer it is genuinely enjoyable.
More multiplayer in my borderlands sounds awesome.

I do. Never bought the game because it was horridly broken, but liked the look of it. Shame it never panned out.

I did not like borderlands alone. I did not like borderlands with a girl. I did not like borderlands with a friend. I did not like borderlands with a stranger.
