    That has to be artwork, not a screen shot.

    yeah i dunno about this yet. i'll wait and see, but something tells me they definitely didn't just go and redo all of the games graphics. that would be extremely expensive.

    I would have to say that it would just be the cutscenes that are cell shaded. Then again I hadn't even been tracking this game so I don't really know.

    I'd like it to be cel-shaded, but there's conflicting reports all over the place. Ah well, here's hoping, because that looks much better.

    According to GearBox it's not actually technically cel-shaded and it is an in-game screenshot.

    I personally think it looks awesome. If that is the final look i am officially hyped for  Borderlands.

    It's not cel-shaded but according to the PC Gamer podcast (the podcast of the magazine, so they'd know most about it) it's in the style of concept art. So the actual game looks like most other games concept art.

    I gotta say, i'm disappointed, im not pulling a Diablo 3 "too much colour" thing here, because i like colour, but i don't really wan't it to have these visuals...i saw it in my UK PC Gamer...characters just look goofy.

    I read why they did it, i understand, it did look a little bland...Ryan Davis thought so at least.

    I don't even think it's First-Person anymore, is that right?

    The only thing that changed is the art style.

    Good, because of the dozen of screens...and in the article, there was no mention or sight of "first person"

    I swear if they switch to cell shaded ill be pissed. When I saw the article on Game Informer maybe a year and a half ago, I was excited for the game. And it wasn't cell shaded.

    ? My post seemed to disappear.

    Anyway, I am fine with the cel-shaded artwork if it means a better framerate, and since I loved Crackdown, I already know what I am in for.

    Looks real to me. You can see the poly edges on the gun, so the gun at least is in game.

    I really hope it wont be Cel Shaded. Even though i respect the artistic design of cel shaded graphics I find it takes away from the realism of  games like Borderland.

    So a drawing on the cover a magazine means it's cel-shaded now? There's a similar drawing of Niko on a magazine and he's not cel-shaded.
