Lot's of new Borderlands 3 stuff since the official announcement, including game play footage released yesterday:
More complicated skill trees, more weapon combinations, weapon alt modes that almost make each weapon into two different weapons (can completely change ammo type or switch between elements), and new loot and co-op system that I wanted to briefly discuss:
They've now given you the option to keep everything the same as it was, or switch it so that the loot is unique to each player and levels up or down based on the individual player. Benefits of this is obviously that one player can't rush ahead and steal all the good loot. The purpose is to improve co-op game play.
I happen to think this will have the opposite effect. The most "cooperative" aspect of Borderlands, IMO, was deciding to steal the good loot first or give it to your bud(dies). It was that decision to play as a team or not, that made it actually cooperative. If you're just running through, don't have to wait for your teammate(s) to check the loot and decide if or what they want, I envision more players separated across different parts of the map.
Still, looks like great fun. Looks like... Borderlands. Better than the Pre-Sequel, that's for sure. Release date in Sept 2019.
