Borderlands is a first-person shooter RPG from Gearbox Software that puts players into the shoes of one of four playable characters as they traverse the hostile planet of Pandora in search of a mysterious "Vault," said to contain priceless unknown riches and alien technologies.
The cel shading reminds me of Red Steel 2, only it's perhaps a little more subtle here. Crappy gameplay footage though, not exactly a game you can appreciate in just a minute. He turns weird, is it played on console or something?
Looks pretty neat. I might consider getting it now. The visual style to it is neat. Unfortunately, I had no clue what the hell was going on in the video. I always enjoy a good first person shooter, though.
@Al3xand3r: It looks like that is the console version being played but the character that is being played is the "heavy". My guess that is why he moves so incredibly slow and rugged.
In my opinion it looks a lot better than it did at E3 '08. The switch to the cel shading is definitely a plus here and gives it some identity. Hopefully the game itself matches the visuals.
Besides the guns and the art style? It's an open-world, co-op FPS with loot. Not exactly a common premise.
I think it looks incredible. I'm a big fan of the PoP art style, co-op, loot and the BiA franchise* though, so they could have designed this game just for me.
