sweet but im curious as to how this game will be in its final stages. Fingers crossed for this one. 

haven'r seen a gearbox thing for sometime. Gald I saw this

I personally like it.

hmmm...interesting.  hopefully they have only changed the look of the game and not the gameplay.  if i remember right isn't this game supposed to have like 2-4 player co-op for the entire game? 

I like it. It makes the things that are important pop out more from the enviroments. Sort of Crackdown style.

Reminds me of the Crackdown art style which is not a bad thing at all. Can't wait

Man, it does look like concept art. That's a pretty rad style.

well...even outside of PC Gamer, there's still no image of it being in First Person, i have to see it like that before i know whether i like the new art-style or not...sadly.

Screenshots of the old version make a bad impression of how it looked. This is how it looked aaaaaages ago. I thought it was great:

Really disappointed. I liked it a lot more before, especially since following it through various gameplay videos they released. Seriously disappointed with this cell shaded approach.

I guess it really depends now on what it looks like in motion and if they still maintain the neat engine with tonnes of randomly generated weapons (and if it's still an FPS?).

I love the new art style. If the gameplay is up to a decent standard, this will be awesome.

I like the new look better. It gives the game a much more interesting air that would make me want to pick it up in the first place.

I think it's pretty cool, I just wish their black outlines were a bit thinner.

Either would have worked, but the new style is more expressive.  Realistic can be expressive too, but it tends to demand a lot more on the engine.  With expressive, you get exaggerated lines that do the work for you and evoke feeling without nearly as much effort as getting EXACT facial expressions which, in a first person shooter, probably aren't that vital.

It's an improvement, definitely.  It gives it a very Prince of Persia look, and definitely makes what could have just been "good" visuals better.

Personally, I prefer the new style over the old.

The new look is MUCH better. It actually has some personality now. Before it looked like "generic 3rd rate PC shooter."

Looks niiiiiiice.

The new look kind of looks like Crackdown.

The old look kind of looks like Fallout 3 mixed with Unreal Tournament 3 which to me is kind of meh.

Looks like a change for the better in general. Prefer the old rhino though.

Hmmm this looks a little too much like the latest PoP to me, although not quite as crisp. I dunno, if they can make the animations in a shooter as clean as they were in PoP, might take a second look at this. Been a while since I've heard anything

sooo...am I the only one who thinks the rhino-lookin'-thing has a vagina-mouth?
I remember thinking that when I saw it in GI years ago, too.

This looks pretty rad. I think the art style change makes me want to pick it up, whereas before it was kind of generic.

It looks like Crackdown. But what really matters is how it plays.

Cracklands = hot

Looks like a better looking Crackdown.  I am all for it, I loved the style Crackdown had and this looks like they took that and spent a few more years fine tuning it.  Love it and now am totally interested in this game, didn't even know all about it before.  It sounds like loads of fun.

new one looks better

For me they could have gone either way with the graphical style. I don't think one style is drastically better then the other.

Just looks like they added a black edge-render to the exsisting art style. Maybe the shadows are a little cel-shadey but IMO this ain't no biggy. Looks good! characters are more defined gives it that POP!

Holy Crap! I love the new Borderlands graphical makeover. Reminds me a bit of Crackdown,except  more detailed. I think it reflects much better the unique alien setting. The old version looked kinda  ho-hum, more of the same, but this  visual overhaul has me eagerly anticipating it's release. Let's hope it plays as sweet as it looks.

I actually prefer the old graphics more. Even though they aren't as polished, they make it seem more realistic.

Kinda digging the new art style.

the old one on the far right looks sweet, but the rest just look like any other generic game out. I personally love the new look. Its just a right mix of cel-shade and real life. Def gonna have to keep and eye out on this game.

Looks like the new Prince of Persia.

the new art style i think is a good change. i am eager to see more about the game tho

I want to see it in motion. But judging from the pictures, I think they made a wise decision. It sets itself apart from all the generic shooters we see every year. That's just gotta be a good thing.

Wow! The new look is great. I've got a whole new excitement for this game now.

I think it looks great, before it just looked like UT3 with thinner guys and now it's got my interest.

It looks like it was Borderlands before, but it's cell-shaded.

wow this is a really good idea like TF2.....smart....its means they stand out, now im excited for this game

this is the best thing that could have happened.

i really love the new style. the last thing we need is a bunch of fallout 3 clones. playing through that game once was plenty

Hmm I want 3rd person over first person if it's going to be an open world game though. Or at least the option.

I think it might have looked better before the change, but it might still be great this way around.

Looks very Prince of persia or Crackdown. Thumbs up!

I like the way it looks... now, hopefully the gameplay is  good, too.

Please let this game be as awesome as it looks, pleeeeeease

I like it, though it kinda looks like they just blurred the textures a bit and added some post-processing effects.
