Guys, there won't be dub-step in the game. PREORDER CANCELLED

But here's what it shows off in case you don't watch the video for whatever reason.

• Plenty of enemy types. Robots, Cloaking Winged Beasts, Tunneling Snake Worm things.
• Guns (derp)
• The guy who gives the commentary says that they're making fetch quests that keep updating as you complete steps. Instead of just returning to the bounty board once you've found (X) of (Y), which sounds interesting to me. So basically making more side quests more interesting, but that's subjective so...
• Shows off Dwarfzerker and the new Siren's Active Skills.
• You can get skills that make your elements even more effective when combined. The example he says is that PhaseLock+Slag(New element that boosts other elements)+Lightning would become a devastating combo. Of course Slag by it's nature is only useful when combined, so take that as you will.
• By looking at a gun's design you'll be able to tell it's manufacturer, element, and type.
• He talks about effective use in combining Skills with guns and Active Skills.
• No matter your level difference, you will be able to do quests in Coop, no more "Incompatible Quests"
• Drop In Drop Out SplitScreen. Not sure if it's for PC, however.

I'm already sold, but man, this just all looks great. The best part for me was that they're improving the side quests, they got a little too tedious for me in Borderlands 1, but whatever.

thanks for posting this

Why did they have to change my Siren skill?! I hope the new one is as good as phase walking was.

"There's actually not dubstep in the game."

Well, this game is now dead to me.

Don't care about dropin-dropout split screen, I want online/system link with split screen

Also "Borderlands isn't slapstick. Its very much dark humour..." Yeah Dubstep is totally serious and dark.

I'm glad I know there is somewhere I don't have to hear it.

Excited for this game, but I want to see the assassin already. Seems like he'll be cool, love the katana.

I hope they up the RPG story elements a little bit. It would be cool if there were more people, items, and armor pieces like a Fallout game.

ok, I think I've decided; I'll get this when it comes out, Far Cry 3 can wait.

Seriously cannot fucking wait for this. :)

Online split-screen is in. Last we heard they were having technical issues with connecting two online splitscreening systems together, but you'll be able to connect to regular solo online players when you split screen online for sure.

Gonna try to check this out at PAX. Unfortunately, the lines are gonna be super crazy long...

On Gearbox's site they have stated the 2 online players cannot both have guests(Although I though that was a final thing, are they working on putting it in?). In any game there can be only one player with a split screen buddy, which sucks, but having drop in/drop out in an online co-op game is great for dudes who constantly have friends over at their place for just 30 minutes or so, like me.

If I can wait over 3 hours for Darkness 2 last year then I can wait for this.

@Arker101: You're right, it's likely a final thing. I just didn't mention it as being set in stone because they haven't said anything about it in awhile.

As long as they improve the framerate (seriously, the PS3 version's framerate would drop into the single digits any time there was smoke) and make splitscreen not complete ass, I'm down for more borderlands.

Did they remove iron sights from the game or did i just blink too much?

Looks pretty hot. Thanks for sharing!

I literally can't wait for that. DOWANTNOW.

I'm actually going to buy GOTY edition today just to get anticipated for this. With that said, I still feel that split-screen in Borderlands is atrocious.

There have been some iron sights shown previously if I remember right. There was one launcher shown that did for sure. They likely just didn't show because they'd rather show the majority of what's happening on screen instead of focusing on one enemy and having the gun cover the bottom of the screen.

@Solh0und: I agree that the splitscreen for 1 was an abomination, but I hope 2 is going to be a lot better, but we haven't seen it with a hud yet, but it doesn't seem like Gearbox would mess it up with all of the promotions so far mentioning it.

@MentalDisruption: I gotcha, but it would be nice if two people could have two guests, I don't know why they can't do that, though.

@DrLove: @Aquablak: Sure thing,

I hope the world feels a little less lifeless this time around, that really bothered me about the first.

Oh man. Looks really cool, but I'm not even finished with the first Borderlands... progress is slooooow ._.

Cool. Going for another siren and maybe I'll try out some co-op this time around.

Just a heads up for anyone interested, there will be livestreams at PAX April 7 1-4 pm EST, and April 8 12-1 pm EST on twitch tv.

The lack of Dub Step sort of kills it for me!

Too bad there's no character creation.

please don't take any ideas from the fallout series. borderlands is like the fun version of fallout with actual good combat.

this looks awesome...this is my Diablo III right here

You like Borderlands more than Fallout.

Congratulations.

Here's a cookie and a lovely plaque to commemorate the event.

I'd love borderlands if it didn't have claptrap, that is the least funny thing, EVER.

I'm dancing, I'm dancing!
