@Tegyguy – L4D had some (very badly implimented) split screen functionality. It is a feature it would be nice to see more though (but then, as a child in the pre-internet days I wanted split screen a lot. Very few games actually offered it though).

“I can’t think of a game since Diablo 2 that has done it properly (correct me if I’m wrong)”

I know I say this for everything, but Asheron’s Call did it quite beautifully (though not to quite the level of variety that Borderlands has, it seems). Did AC come out after Diablo 2 or before it? I dunno. =P

I hadn’t heard the characters’ names yet and I must say how perfect they are for the archetypes they’ve chosen. I’m into nomenclature and that was what struck me most about all this…

This is going to be awesome, especially with a buddy in split screen. Im so glad they added split screen to this game. They need to make more games with split screen support. I’m loving this, cant wait.

Pretty excited by this now. If it’s pulled off right, it sounds like it’ll be proper ridiculous fun. Funny thing: with every bit of coverage for this my anticipation increases in propertion to the amount it decreases for Dragon Age every time I hear about that.

It sounds like this game doesn’t take itself seriously in the least.

This is a wonderful thing.

@ sunject706. all the weapons are “proper” until you add the element you want. and cummon are you complaining about finding a shotgun that fires rockets (entirely possible). one weapon that the dev team found was a sniper that 3 seconds after you shot a target, the enemy explodes. don’t tell me that isn’t cool.

you will also be able to add blades to your guns. there will be vehicluar combat and a huge amount of items and gear.

no official release date yet although randy did let something slip about october. just waiting for the official e3 demo vid or even some shaky cam footage would be nice. give us fans and us over at the BL community a chance to see it.

So, it’s like Hellgate, but not retarded?

In WoW purple makes most people only yawn these days.
Orange is the new purple…

Borderlands is on my watch list but I need more info before I can start getting psyched or not. The switch of the art style looks cool though.

One thing that strikes me (from the screenshots anyway) is the awesome blueness of the skies.. we needs more blue skies in games!

@Bhazor

There are also half a million ammo types.

Seriously though, this looks really interesting. Each new little thing I hear adds a new little bit of appeal.

Professor says:
“What is it about game designers and their desire to make monsters that look like giant vaginas?
I mean, seriously, that thing has a CLITORIS.”

I’m surprised the good Prof hasn’t commented on the Penis Car, top right of this page. Seriously, that thing looks like Ace and Gary’s car from the Ambiguously Gay Duo.
