I've watched this trailer so many bloody times since it came out. I'm buzzing for this.

That trailer was beautiful and kind of awesome. I'm not even a die-hard Borderlands fan. (I liked BL1, but once I finished it, I didn't feel too compelled to go back to it. Admittedly, though, I didn't have a lot of friends to play it with.) A little dubstep goes a long way.

@Bourbon_Warrior: When that beat unexpectedly dropped I squealed with such delight that I woke my roommate from the opposite end of our three bedroom house. Thank you, sir.

Involving John Adams' "Harmonielehre" in a dubstep track sounds like a terrible idea on paper, but in practice... it definitely sounds like a bad idea.

Everything else in this trailer seems rad.

I never even finished the first game. Unless the single player campaign is significantly better than the first game, I don't think this game is for me.

i don't know if i can handle having a primary antagonist in a Borderlands game... unless Handsome Jack is code for Tentacle Beast

Did you play the DLC much? They all had primary antagonists (except for Mad Moxxi's), and were better for it, because the writing was actually pretty good throughout.

The DLC makes the main game look like crap, because the main game's environments all look the same and the story is so threadbare that none of the locations or characters were very interesting (aside from Claptrap).

Even in the launch trailer for this game there are some pretty noticeable Unreal Engine 3 texture pop-ins. I fucking love it.

I think that was probably depth of field effects more than texture pop-in, unless I'm missing some particular instance.

Been a while since I got this excited for a game based just on the Trailer. However, the main thing I want which I didn't see (probably because it'd make for a boring trailer) are convenient UI touches that will make co-op smoother. Primarily, I'd want MMO style loot options, UI for loot trading, and a way to show off your build (like an 'inspect' or something).

Other nice touches would be a way to show off your build offline and maybe play with your skill tree. Some type of leaderboard would be cool and the locker should be part of the main game.

Some of the text in this trailer was rather cringe-worthy (I always thought the humour in Borderlands was lacking) but apart from that very cool. If they can fix up the major problems that Borderlands 1 had this could be an excellent game.

@Dain22: Wow. IDK what it was about that mash-up but Kanye sounded terrible. Probably because you could actually hear him since the music didn't match up exactly.

Was it falling out of sync? Please leaving a time-stamped comment in the player so I can go back and tweak it (I threw this together in an afternoon).

@Clinkz: Well I liked it myself. I'm a huge Mass Effect fan and it was the first trailer I've allowed myself to watch since I had been blacking out the game. I'm sure my fanboyism is what makes me think so highly of that trailer.

This is mostly electro, not very dubstep other than the drop at the end.

Yep, definitely electro house. The only half-time, broken beat segment with wobble bass was when Claptrap was dancing.

I have to say, Gearbox knows how to make the best trailers. Just when I thought nothing could top Mass Effect 3's Take Back the Earth trailer Gearbox tops it with this.

Are you serious? Mass Effect 3's trailer was nothing special. I'm kind of offended people thought it was good. They completely ripped off halo 3's except it wasn't nearly as good as that one.

I've got no idea who this person at the end of the trailer is exactly, but I'm sure shes somehow related.

The live actress at the end is Lilith (i.e. Siren class from the first game).

A little while back they had an open casting call for Lilith and Gearbox had a promotional video that went along with it.

Good trailer, looking solid. Claptrap dancing to Dubstep is the icing on the cake.

Loved playing the first one co-op online, and split screen. The trophies were easy, but kept a nice pace of unlocking! Cheers for round 2!
