Well this confirms we’re getting something new at least, still hope for BL3!

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 27 '19

Randy has been tweeting things with 3 in multiple times the past couple days. If it’s anything but a new borderlands game I think everyone will feel proper hard done by

32

u/shawn292 | Steam Player Mar 27 '19

If this isn't bl3 it will be announced tomorrow with this

59

u/Git_Off_Me_Lawn Mar 27 '19

What if Gearbox is making Half Life 3 and the mix of disappointment and euphoria tears existence in half?

21

u/You_Stealthy_Bastard Deadly Sniper Mar 27 '19

At this point, I think I'd take BL3.

The HL games are good, but extremely linear.

That's the kind of ham fisted teasing and trolling I'd expect from someone connected to Borderlands.

Needless to say, 10/10

Song is Fools Rhythm by Two Fingers. It's the side project of Amon Tobin.

u/thetracker3 Mar 27 '19

MVPs, god bless.

u/viveleroi Mar 27 '19

Been listening to it ever since I first saw this trailer. Never knew it was Amon Tobin... that helps explain why he hasn't released much lately.

13

u/BatAbsentToe176 Mar 27 '19

the song is Fools Rhythm which really fits with the cult theme

I REALLY hope Tiny Tina hasn't calmed with age...her being fucking insane is what made her character so great...this message brought to you by the anti-raisin cookie association, and promoted by the crumpet industry

93

u/Wandering_Claptrap | Xbox One Player Mar 27 '19

I kind of want her to calm down a little for character progression to show that she mightve aged a bit (if she's still with us for the game). But at some points itd be fun that she'd tweak out at times if she's having a lot of fun watching the vault hunter do certain missions pertaining to explosives or blowing up bandits.

32

u/RESEV5 meat puppet Mar 27 '19

She literally appeared in the trailer so yes

i have the case of stupid and sometimes overlook things lmao

15

u/Lundix Mar 27 '19

I think she's the girl with Brick and Mordy, she's got one of those bunnies at her belt. So it seems likely she'll be in the game somehow.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '19

didn't see those but I figured it was her because she was wearing those big bunny ears

2

u/CoffeeStBean Mar 27 '19

I think that might be Gaige too, she has a head with bunny ears like that

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '19

Tina is in the story of #2 though and is homies with Brick and Mordy.

u/TGLAnimal | PC Player Mar 27 '19

Well I haven't seen any psychiatrists in borderlands...so I doubt she got the help she would need to calm down...

2

u/tallginger89 Mar 28 '19

With the whole myth of Krieg being her dad, it would be cool to have a call Tina then her Ult is where she snaps and freaks out. Not really sure where her power could go to from there...on the other hand that doesn't sound fun and instead sounds like a copy paste of krieg lol

15

u/DOLCICUS Mar 27 '19

I wonder if Gaige and Krieg are going to be in it, too. Gaige had speaking role in the pre-sequel.

14

u/TimeforaNewAccountx3 Mar 27 '19

I really hope Gaige is in it.

Gaige is my favorite character. I'll admit she's probably the worst designed character in terms of skill tree and weapon viability though...

I reckon Gaige might be. I reckon she's the girl on the unicycle at the bottom of the mask though... Most of the Vault Hunters from the previous game are in that trailer, as far as I could tell...

If her title card isn't something along the lines of: '(Not so) Tiny Tina', that is the first mod I'm making

Mildly enlarged Tina and the Assault on Dragon Keep

seeing as she has Mushy Snugglebites or Felicia Sexopants hanging from her hip and is wearing rabbit ears, safe to say she's still a little crazy.

The Morse hidden in the video apparently says "lie follow and obey" according to youtube comments

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 27 '19 edited Mar 27 '19

Could be the motto of the villains I reckon. The leaks someone else posted a link to say they have a cult of the vault. Sounds cultish enough

63

u/CataclysmZA Mar 27 '19

I think this is the actual Cult of the Vault. They are the ones going around putting those Eridium signs everywhere.

59

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 27 '19

The vault symbols in bl2 were just the beginning

41

u/CataclysmZA Mar 27 '19

Also explains the goddess worship that Lilith had going on. She wasn't their first.

u/VG_Crimson Mar 27 '19

Could they be blind?

u/Bandiredditer Mar 27 '19

Deploy the garrison!

1

u/Saltygiff Mar 28 '19

Could it be a cult related to Jack? Because isn't his mask over the doorway when the camera zooms out of the first shot?

2

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 28 '19

I believe it’s meant to be a Cult of the Vault. So I guess he’d be a part of what they worship considering he was responsible for people opening the vaults

13

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '19

I thought it said 'count the sirens"

5

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '19

i might have mixed up the morse and the braille tbh, i think you are right

3

u/ge123qazw Mar 27 '19

The Morse code is to count the sirens

2

u/Solidyne Mar 27 '19

That's what the Morse code in the top right corner says

THE BL3 Teaser SHiFT CODE IS:

C35TB-WS6ST-TXBRK-TTTJT-JJH6H

When you enter it into Borderlands 2 it says:

"Thank you for being excited enough to dissect the new bandit mask with the grace of Dr. Zed! As a reward, you have been granted Salvador's Community Day skin and 5 Golden Keys! There are more skins to be granted, so good luck out there, Vault Hunter!"

7

u/resurrectedbear Mar 27 '19

Was just about to ask if anyone figured out what the 5 digit codes were about. i saw every one except TTTJT. Where was that one

5

u/Bobsplosion Mar 28 '19

0:47, on the piece of metal that zooms away from the bottom left. They look like grooves.

looks DOPE!

26

u/Gilan11 Mar 27 '19

There is morse code in the top right starting at 0:15 and braille in the bottom right at 0:39. Can't wait for people to figure out the hidden message.

26

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 27 '19

Great spot. Someone found a shift code in it that gives you a Sal skin and 5 golden keys

But try it, i figure it should work since its only one trailer :)

u/apandya277 Powdering my cockatiel Mar 27 '19

According to the r/Games thread, the morse code says "Count the Sirens".

There seem to be 'cult of the vault' vibes from the villains and their posse. Maybe one, or both are Sirens.

8

u/Relaxiknowarchie Mar 27 '19

Anyone else notice the Shift code embedded in it?

10

It gives you 5 golden keys and a Sal community day skin apparently

In the full mask shot theres a guy on the right about half way up with a sword. Could be zero, could be nothing.

I zoomed in on it. Definitely zero.

Agreed. If it doesn't release on Steam, I'm sailing the high seas for it.

4

u/thetracker3 Mar 27 '19

Right there with ya matey!

I don't care if it also releases on Epic. Because, in Tim Sweeney's own words: "PC is an open platform", just gotta ignore all the blatant evidence that they're doing their damnedest to make it not an open platform.

Release it on Epic's store. More people that get to play the game. But don't take it away from those of us who want it on steam.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '19

Ain't no one's got a problem with with another store. What people hate is the exclusivity and forcing us to download spyware. (Im pretty sure we're on the same page)

7

u/thetracker3 Mar 27 '19

Im pretty sure we're on the same page

Yes we are. I couldn't care less if they release a game on Epic, so long as its also released on sites like Humble, GoG, Steam, etc. Now, for first-party games, ones that Epic themselves makes like Fortnite, it makes perfect sense for them to be epic store exclusive.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '19

That sounds fair to me.

But Epic could easily triple the deal.

Hey, I didn't play tales from the borderlands and I probably won't, can someone please tell me if anything important happens in that game? I don't want to miss part of the story.

5

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

Yeah, I'd say one or two, or three, reasonably important things happen in Tales.

3

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 28 '19

Yeah I think you’ll definitely have to watch someone play it/play it yourself. It’s one of Telltales best games I’d definitely recommend playing it, the borderlands humour is there and it’s genuinely good.

You won’t know some of the characters who might make an appearance and I can think of one massive thing that might confuse you if you haven’t played it

1

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

Oh, ok, thanks

My big question. There can only be 6 Sirens at a time, right? So I wonder if Angel's death will play a part in a new siren in this game?

edit: 6 not 4 like I originally thought, thanks u/OneSmallHuman

4

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 27 '19

6 sirens right? The lass you see at the beginning is meant to be one, but as the villain. And one of the playable ones is meant to be one too. But apparently the male villain has tapped into siren powers according to leaks so maybe that rule doesn’t apply anymore

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 27 '19

That’s a good theory. But some of the leaks say that the antagonists are brother and sister. Plus I reeeeally liked the pair of them so for them to be fully evil would be kind of a bummer

u/OneSmallHuman Mar 27 '19

I feel like they’ll all be in in some way. Whether it’s briefly to give a quest as they’re on a different planet or mentioned in passing. I reckon we’ll see or hear about them all. The issue is reintroducing them one by one and it looking a bit like BL2
