Borderlands 3 gets bombastic gameplay reveal with plenty of guns

This week, the Borderlands 3 Gameplay Reveal took place in California. When the title was initially announced, Gearbox Software only released a trailer featuring cutscenes, and we didn't get a taste of the gameplay. Luckily, that's no longer the case because not only were we able to get hands-on time, the developer also revealed some bombastic footage which features stunning graphics, great lighting, and lots of guns.

Borderlands 3 takes place on multiple planets and features numerous alien vaults. It's by far the biggest Borderlands game yet, and it looks like the team has nailed it once again. There's so much to do, and given the fact that it doesn't contain microtransactions, you'll have to earn the "billions" of guns through gameplay.

According to Gearbox, Borderlands 3 runs at 4K resolution on Xbox One X, but the team also wants to give gamers the option to play it at 60 frames per second (FPS). It's unclear what the resolution will be for the "performance" mode, but playing at a higher frame rate should make the shooting feel incredible. Unfortunately, the base console is locked at 30 FPS.
