E3 09: Borderlands Trailer

Continuing the coverage of the E3 event in Los Angeles, which somehow seems to have started on the internet almost a week before it’s due to start in the real world, we have the Borderlands trailer. I rather expected them to remake the original trailer in the new engine, but they did not. Shame. And I am totally doing a trailer poll at the end of all this, and not for the best one, for the worst. Who made the biggest waste of corporate airtime this year? You can decide. I think this will be somewhere in the middle, because it does at least show fragments of game footage. And don’t get me started on this increasing footage-free teaser-trailer trend! (Chokes on pickle sandwich, oh God, must post before unconsciousness…)

    it looks quite a’aight…

    Still excited about this one, though really mostly due to the information on it released thus far. I do think the trailer looks pretty, but wouldn’t expect it to sell it to anyone that doesn’t know anything about it, especially if they’re from the froth-at-the-mouth FPS hardcore camp.

    Can people stop saying they’re “digging the art style”?

    It’s SUCH A BAD PUN!

  4. Patrick says:

    Someone over on the Borderlands website has done a frame by frame breakdown of the trailer and manages to extract more information than I would have thought possible.

    If you are intersted check it out here. http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=71501

    For those of you craving more more info e3 is tuesday for BL so more information is suppose to be released. This trailer is merely an e3 trailer. Just to get peoples blood boiling.

    Wow that trailer was underwhelming. Editing-wise, it looks right out of, like, many years ago (I don’t know, not recent).

    I like the new art style… Makes me think of PoP
