Read our full Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel review.

There’s a new 10-minute look at 2K Australia’s Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel that sums up pretty much everything we’ve told you about the game since its April 2014 debut. And while we certainly won’t stop you from going back and reading all of our wonderful coverage to date (see here, here, here, here, and here), we won’t blame you for hitting play on this new look. Especially since the whole thing is narrated by Sir Hammerlock and Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel falls between the events of Borderlands and Borderlands 2, following a new group of four playable characters — one of whom is the series’ comic relief R2-D2 wannabe, Claptrap — in a story that charts the rise of Handsome Jack, the villain of the series’ second game. This video takes a look at Pandora’s moon of Elpis (the setting for The Pre-Sequel) and the creatures that dwell there, guns and gun-friendly features, and the foursome at the heart of the game. Want to see Claptrap in action? There’s a lot of that here.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel comes to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on October 14, 2014.

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.
