Borderlands 3? That is Super Scary

With the Pre-Sequel set to be released in October 2014 you have to wonder what Gearbox has planned for the actual Borderlands 3, eg the story after Handsome Jack.  There are plenty of theories from the obvious where the Vault Hunters travel to different planets looking for more vaults to a MMO style game where co-op play is taken online complete with micro transactions and all the stuff that made Elder Scrolls Online such a crapfest.

It would seem that Randy Pitchford is expressing the same concerns and claims that even thinking about what Borderlands 3 "could/should/would" be is scary.

Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford is uneasy about the very idea of Borderlands 3, he told Game Informer in a new interview. That's because a third entry in the numbered series--which is absolutely not announced or even in development--would need to be "so crazy and so big" that the developer might not be able to launch a game worthy of its ambition.

Personally I think they should stick with what they know and what appears to be working.  Maybe start with the idea that each game is another planet and another vault and another power struggle to control what is there.  Of course, We still need a "voice in our head" so that will need to be sorted out but, who is to say it needs to be another siren. maybe this time it really is a computer.
