At Gamelab this year we got chatting with Gearbox President Randy Pitchford.
During the interview Pitchford described a huge leap forward for the Borderlands franchise ("Borderlands 2 makes Borderlands 1 look like the Stone Age"), the possibility of Gearbox taking on the Blade Runner series ("I think it would be cool to spend some time in an interactive game that really builds the Blade Runner universe out, but I'm not sure Gearbox will do it. I think if we did, our vision for that would be so grand that we'd probably spend more than we should") and the reason why we're all excited about Aliens: Colonial Marines ("It's like an itch that hasn't been scratched, ever. Ever since we saw the movies. We've always wanted to have that experience. So to be able to do that experience in videogame form is really exciting").
