Thread: Borderlands

I don't think I am the only one excited for this game that has changed and changed for the past year or so, but 4 player RPG shooter co-op, is just downright sexy.

Enjoy.

Looks neat! I'll have to be watching this one!

I am digging the stylized cell-shading! I hope it doesn't "Two Worlds" us!

I had actually heard about the game close to or over four years ago, and have been keeping a watch on it here and there. And believe it or not, I'm looking forward to this more than I am any other shooter.

Gearbox is a great studio, famous for the Brothers in Arms franchise, but they're also the group behind most of the work on the Half-Life expansions; Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Counter-Strike and Condition Zero. Borderlands is their first truly original IP, and it's looking spectacular. A fully open-world, 4 player co-op, Role Playing Shooter, what's not to love? So long as I have the cash, it's a day one purchase for me.

And it's actually not cell-shaded, cel-shading is a form of lighting that creates blocks of colors for shadows/highlights, instead of smooth, gradient-like, shadows/highlights you get with realistic lighting. Which is what you see with Borderlands. It's become a standard for the masses that anything that doesn't have a realistic texture/render system or has outlines to be called cel-shaded. Borderlands is just a different art style, similar to what Ubisoft did with Prince of Persia.

Here's an image that shows Borderlands with it's previous, realistic style, and the new "concept" style.

Its good to know that more than just a few people are looking forward to this one, it should be a great game.

I think Gearbox also did the PC version of Halo: CE. I am not sure and I am not going to look it up, so there!

Definitely reinvigorates my interest in this game, I might end up having to rent this at first but I am sure it will find its way onto my shelf.

It is a very interesting game I'm a little on the fence with it all though 87 gazillion guns makes it interesting. It played very smooth and the bad guys/monsters looked good. The graphics felt a little aged and no one was working together at PAX.

I think if this game is played with a good team it could be amazing.

After Peench and DM's PAX updates, this one has me curious. The huge number of weapons is the most interesting piece to me at the moment, along with the co-op possibilities.

Who all is gonna pick this up? It's sounds really awesome and I would love to get some 4 player coop going with other PGLers.

It should be a day one purchase for me.

After thinking about it this will probably will end up getting this day one, I just need to make sure I have enough money for Forza 3 and MW2.

Day one purchase for Prophet! This was one of the best games shown at PAX this year.

What did you like most about it P-Tone?

The co-op, (that no one seemed to know about), the weapons, and the RPG light feel. Plus I have a soft spot for games set in the post-apocalyptic future thanks to the Fallout series. I hope at least a few of us will be able to get together for some co-op sessions.

I can foresee the shenanigans that will be had while playing co op.
