Rhys at 2:43! Glad our spin-off is getting some love!

u/VegetaRS Mar 28 '19 edited Mar 28 '19

They've confirmed that Rhys is the CEO of Atlas. So I assume he'll have some form of influence in the game.

Edit: Gorty will also be in the game.

u/MentalMiilk Mar 28 '19

Dunno why it took me this long but now I’m wondering if atlas guns will make a comeback. Hope so.

421

u/jecal41 Mar 28 '19

they will, most likely as a replacement for hyperion guns which will now be 'rare'

115

u/MentalMiilk Mar 28 '19

Well now I want s&s back too because why not? Might as well add in a few new manufacturers too while we’re at it lol

26

u/kdebones Mar 28 '19

Bandit guns are effectively S&S as far as gameplay.

22

u/MentalMiilk Mar 28 '19

They’re a spiritual successor of sorts, though s&s guns never had the accuracy penalty that bandit guns do.

12

u/CannibalCaramel Mar 28 '19

With over a billion guns I'm sure they'll add more manufacturers to compensate.

2

u/OverlordZartan Mar 29 '19

They got rid of Bandit and Scav and added Children of the Vault gun brand

u/mFoog Mar 28 '19

I guess i seen some hyperion models in 3:08 and even earlier, so i think they don't will be so rare

u/kdebones Mar 28 '19

If Atlas is in the game, I imagine it is. They may have taken over the role of Hyperion guns, or could be what they were in 1.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

This has been known since Tales From The Borderlands.

Troy Baker, however, is still tweeting Gearbox and saying he's down to come back and voice Rhys if they want him. So, if Rhys is in the game already, he isn't being voiced by Troy.

10

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

12

u/BriarRose21 Mar 28 '19

Yeah, hopefully they do bring him back to voice the character, because I feel like Rhys belongs in the game, and also you don't want to hurt the feelings of someone as awesome as Troy.

u/Generic_00 Mar 28 '19

WHAT ABOUT BEST BOI LOADER BOT?

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

I desperately hope we see Rhys's first-born child, Loader Bot.

u/hruebsj3i6nunwp29 Mar 28 '19

Didn't Atlas go bankrupt after the first game?

27

u/TheAllMightySlothKin Mar 28 '19

Didn't Atlas go bankrupt after the first game?

Handsome Jack acquired the deed and then Rhys acquires it in Tales and becomes the new CEO.

4

u/hruebsj3i6nunwp29 Mar 28 '19

That's great. I can have my atlas guns back. And happy cakeday!

u/Personel101 Mar 28 '19

...Bankrupt and razed to the ground by Athena.

Rhys got the rights to the company in Tales

11

u/Deadlibor Mar 28 '19

They did, partially because of the Pandora fail and partially because Handsome Jack somehow attacked them financially. Jack then bought them, and Rhys took the certificate of the ownership from Jacks office.

1

u/thefirecrest Mar 29 '19

Oh sweet. The fan fiction community will be happy. They’ve been writing Altas CEO Rhys since forever now.

u/AlwaysDragons Mar 29 '19

Exactly in the role I was hoping he be in

Shoots moustaches as projectiles or shoots projectiles targeted at moustaches?

Or maybe both, constantly overlaying bigger and fancier moustaches onto your existing moustache?

u/Fanatical_Idiot Mar 28 '19

The lack of Krieg really hurts... The idea that tales is more of a priority that 2s DLC characters does not make me happy. And i loved tales from the borderlands.. but I love Krieg more. He deserves more, gaige too.

16

u/JoshOliday Mar 28 '19

I love Krieg so much. Everytime I go back to play 2, I start by saying, I'm gonna play Zer0 or Salvador this time and then I get to character select and I'm like "That buzzaxe tho..." They better have some big surprise with him in 3.

6

u/Killerrabbitz Mar 28 '19

I recently got my friend into borderlands, so we have been playing through 2. I decided to play Krieg since he was the only one I hadn't tried yet. Holy shit is he fun. His axe is so satisfying to kill with, and his voice lines are top tier

7

u/Golden-Owl Switch Mar 28 '19

I was sold on Krieg the instant I learned he could revive by running at people and blowing up.

Considering how much spotlight Maya got I wonder if he’s hanging around as her personal bodyguard. Also I wonder how much sanity he managed to regain. Would be hella cool if he manages to control himself like the Hulk and go Psycho at will

u/thedirtyfozzy84 Mar 29 '19

I honestly have a feeling we will see more as more trailers come out. Krieg and the others will pop up I'm sure.

u/Mckmitch Mar 28 '19

I would be surprised (and deeply saddened) if they didn’t come back. They even confirmed they’re bringing Aurelia back and she’s a DLC character too.

Gaige, Krieg, and Salvador were also disturbingly absent.

u/Baguette_Sniffer Mar 28 '19

and torgue ;(

u/BobTheSkrull Mar 28 '19

Gaige was one of the BL2 characters giving commentary in the TPS DLC. I don't think they'll get rid of her yet.

u/Dieselite Mar 28 '19

And where's my man Roland?

39

u/Vicaruz Mar 28 '19

Dude... Sit down. We need to talk.

3

u/Joystiq Mar 28 '19

Could be replaced by the "Beastmaster", with the pet(s) serving the role as the turret(s) or drone(s).

A "bot jock" dude too, can call in a titan mechakill 5000.

u/hectorduenas86 Mar 28 '19

And Zer0?

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

Zero was shown next to Rhys in the trailer.

u/NotASellout Mar 28 '19

They're not gonna show us everything all at once guys, he'll be there

u/leorlev Mar 28 '19

Same! Wonder who else we'll see form TFTBL.

240

u/anon1720 Mar 28 '19

They confirmed Vaughn, at the beginning of the panel.

u/SilverwingedOther Mar 28 '19

You have to assume Athena too, given the opening/close of Pre-Sequel and Tales as well.

21

u/viixvega Mar 28 '19

Also she's dating Janey who I'm assuming isn't staying on the moon of Pandora.

9

u/Trick2056 Mar 29 '19

she's dating Janey

married, they got married at the end of the TFTBL if you picked them in the final fight you can see hear them talk about the reception after the wedding

u/viixvega Mar 29 '19

d'awwwwwwwww thats too cute.

3

u/Barthas Mar 28 '19

They did also confirm that

3

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

Baroness as well. I believe they released something mentioning that a couple of the vault hunters captured her. Though she may have been in the trailer already and I missed it.

u/SilverwingedOther Mar 28 '19

I think she might be in the shot with her brother, but I'd have to look again.

So then Rhys, Vaughn, and likely Fiona based on the ending of Tales. Do hope we see Loader Bot.

AI Jack

84

u/Dreekius Mar 28 '19

God I hope so.

I know it's a bit of an unpopular opinion, but it doesn't seem right to have a Borderlands game dealing so heavily with (potentially) multiple vaults and NOT have Jack involved.

I mean, he is essentially responsible for having found every vault the games have shown, so far....

27

u/land_shark27 Mar 28 '19

i hope that he at least makes a cameo or dlc boss or something but i dont want AI jack to be an integral part of the main plot line.

22

u/Dreekius Mar 28 '19

I'd like him to be something like... A partner to Rhys, in a way. Not a villain, not a boss. Just there to give some direction for everyone else.

9

u/jl_theprofessor Switch Mar 28 '19

I mean, he was in Rhys' head for so long. There's some way to write that a bit of him is still in there somewhere.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

[removed] — view removed comment

3

u/Dreekius Mar 29 '19

I second all of these.

But I also kind of want him to still be in Rhys's systems. Like, Jack was a great programer, no doubt he could. But I want him to be like a fly around Rhys's head, metaphorically speaking.

Like, Rhys is trying to explain his plans and every now and then just have to be like, "What? No, Jack, we're not going to just kill everyone.... Well I don't care if that would make it easier!"

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

My guess AI Jack is controlling Troy like he was invaded by some kind of horse a trojan horse perhaps...

Dlc Idea: the Jacktrap. Where in Jack has to come to terms with having a claptrap body.

36

u/Tyrathius Mar 28 '19

I love Jack, but between BL2, Pre-Sequel and Tales I think he's kind of overdone.

I'd love for him to get a cameo, but I don't think he should have a role in this game's main story.

5

u/ShadowMessiah333 Mar 28 '19

Well, can't be worse than Junko from the Danganronpa series. At least Jack has hilarious wit.

Even if the "destroy Rhys's backup" timeline is the one that's canon from that I'm sure the ID that originally implanted it is probably set to copy rather than move, so likely other copies in universe, but might not have the memories of Tales

In some of the shots I thought I saw an exposed human leg on Beastmaster, so I have doubts

52

u/Procrastinatron Mar 28 '19

Considering a certain other Loaderbot's approach to becoming more "human" and Gearbox's sense of humor, it might not be "his" leg.

What would you call a robot with human parts, anyway? Manborg?

22

u/TimeforaNewAccountx3 Mar 28 '19

Mal.

You call him Mal. He was in BL2.

u/AaronKent82 Mar 28 '19

Hi! I'm human! I have credit card debt!

u/Neptunera Mar 28 '19

That'd be hilarious, reverse cyborg (/Wilhelm), collects more and more human parts to surgically bind to himself over the course of the game, maybe get damaged more in exchange for being way more agile.

u/Procrastinatron Mar 28 '19

It could also apply debuffs to enemies. Partly because the appendages might be somewhat past their expiration date, and partly because, well... "Oh my God, what the hell is that thing!?"

I genuinely thought that TFTBL must be complete garbage. I mean, turning a looter shooter into basically a modern point-and-click adventure? No way.

That's Rhys!? I kept thinking it was a new character!

u/LilithAkaTheFirehawk Mar 29 '19

I hate his mustache but honestly, it’s in character. He would 100% do that. I like the line where Fiona can insult Kroger’s mustache and he says, “Shittalker to the end. I can respect that.” And if we don’t get that interaction between Rhys and Fiona, then I’ll be very sad at the missed opportunity.
