Teaser is, of course, a euphemism for thirty seconds of CG that don't give away an awful lot, and so the below proves. Gearbox is promising that its sequel will sport new and more diverse environments, improved AI, a better mission system and storyline - and, of course, lots of loot. Studio head Randy Pitchford told Game Informer that Gearbox is going to great lengths to eliminate grinding in favour of "more meaningful activities that are connected to the story." Much more is expected at Cologne's Gamescom event, which kicks off tomorrow.
