You can add Borderlands to the list of video game properties that will be turned into movies that you maybe will see, but really don't need.
Lionsgate announced Aug. 28 that they would develop the games series into a 'tentpole' movie, would means they probably have a few ideas for all the ways they want to fool with the loot-based first person shooter.
According to Variety:
"Part of our strategy in entering the game space under Peter Levin has been to source new brands with built-in audiences that will translate into great films and television shows," said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairs Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger. "The 'Borderlands' games don't pull any punches, and we'll make the movie with the same in-your-face attitude that has made the series a blockbuster mega-franchise."
Friday's announcement comes less than three months before Lionsgate opens its fourth and final film in its highly successful "Hunger Games" franchise, which has grossed $2.3 billion at the worldwide box office. The studio's Summit label generated $3.3 billion from its five-film "Twilight Saga." And it has grossed more than $550 million from the first two films in its four-film "Divergent Series."
You can put this one up there with The Last of Us and Assassin's Creed as movies we're mildly interested in, but never asked for.

If you're on Xbox One you'll have to wait for tomorrow (or Dec 3rd for Xbox 360), but if you're playing on PC or a PS3/4, get it while it's hot.

The PlayStation Blog has a new post with new screenshots and details about Tales From the Borderlands. Here's the important stuff:
The loot you grab in Tales will be available to use in other areas of the Borderlands franchise
It's an episodic series that'll be $4.99 per episode (or you can save with the Season Pass)
The series takes place after the events of Borderlands 2. Handsome Jack is gone. Or is he?
Did someone say loot?

GamePointsNow is reporting that the next game in the Borderlands series is going to be a prequel set on the moon, Elpis, and is said to be taking place between the events of the first and second game.
Oxygen will play a huge role in the game, in fact it's actually going to be lootable in the form of OX -Kits.This adds a whole new layer to the combat with you requiring to manage your own oxygen levels while battling your foes, although it does lead to the option of shattering an enemies helmet to instantly deprive them of precious O2 and gain an advantage.
What do you think; bollocks or totally true? If it is true, are you stoked about the idea of Borderlands on the moon?
