Army of Two Creative Director claims gun customization in 'The 40th Day'' is better than 'Borderlands'

October 14, 2009 in News comments 3

I am not entirely sure what has been going on recently, but some game developers appear to be taking a page from professional wrestling.

While there has always been a number vocal devs that made crazy statements about their games (classic: John Romero's Daikatana "He will make you his '*itch'" ads) I don't remember a time when so many devs have been taking aim at one another's products.

The most recent industry in the industrial crossfire comes from the creative director of 'The 40th Day', who decided to take aim at the highly anticipated Borderlands.

"At the Naughty/Nice Electronic Arts holiday press event in New York City on Wednesday, Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director on the upcoming Army of Two: The 40th Day said his game already trumps the soon to be released title Borderlands in terms of weapon customization."

    I think the sniping is down to friendship more than anything. These days all developers share tech and everything. At times it's friendly rivalry gone public, for all we know EA are using the same tech Gearbox used and in a friendly jest have come out with figures. Borderlands is like 3 million unique combinations and EA has set out to beat them, we all win from it really.

    Of course the gun customization is better than Borderlands, Borderlands doesn't have any customization that users can do with the guns. So techniquely he's right. Gun variety is a different question I'm sure.
