“fallout 3, but you know, with combat that doesn’t suck and less brown”

Haha, that sounds so much like what I would have said it’s amazing.

The art-style looks good enough to me, and if there is more to the gameplay than just hacking and shooting, things could be looking good. But the trailer didn’t really satisfy me on that point. Even so, it’s looking much better than Dragon Age at this point.

Gonna go ahead and repeat myself, there’s about six minutes of fresh gameplay footage here. The voiceover is in Italian, but it’s fairly undiluted and full of little bugs and mild unpolishedness and still looks pretty glorious. http://multiplayer.it/video/borderlands-per-pc/borderlands-videoanteprima.lo/

All I care about is that 4 player co-op. Even if it’s not as good as they intend it to be, with three of my friends I’ll still have a memorable time.

The whole tone of this video, from the graphics to the music to the editing, to the use of the word ‘gazillion’ and the use of ‘kids’ all point to this being a game re-developed for teenage console gamers that just want to blast stuff and not think too much. I have a feeling this will be the bastard child of Far Cry 2 and Fuel, big, empty, and repetitive….

looks boring as :(
no real info about this (honestly – it’s a shooter, there are some guns… some.. bad guys? there are also good guys! hey and yeah there’s stats! and hats! vehicles too! 130 quests! that’s a lot, right? we could do more… if you want), and that it uses Unreal Engine 3, is making me decidedly nonplussed about it. what’s all the excitement about?

Potentially interesting, depending on whether co-op is necessary or optional (and for that matter, whether 4 players are necessary or, say, two will work well).

That trailer wasn’t too bad until the record scratch. The record scratch should be banned from all media.

@Hermit: I might be wrong, but I think the weapons seemed weak there because it was in slow-motion.

Still looking forward to this one, their art style is looking especially fine.

Not sure if it’s just me, but the weapons seem a little weak in the video. That scene where there’s four of them surrounded looks like they’re firing off spud guns instead of machine guns and rifles, so hopefully they’ll tune that up a bit afore release.

“But not for some Diablo/Fallout/L4D moneyz making generic looking thing.”

If this looks generic to you, get your eyes checked.
