How does a game like Borderlands/Wonderlands have “billions of guns”?
In: 0
A gun in Borderlands first of all has a brand, which will incorporate certain features and looks. Then within that brand they have many different features, looks, levels of power, etc., to choose from. Overall, there are over 1,200 different parts. When you get a gun, it’s the result of an algorithm mashing all of this together to automatically design a gun for you.
They also have different sounds, which were taken from real guns. The studio asked employees to come out with their guns so they could be recorded, and they got too many takers. Also, not just the shooting of various types of guns was recorded, but the sounds of their actions (pulling a bolt, cocking, racking a shotgun, etc.) and digitally altered to sound appropriate for the game.
