    Wondering how the new, more stylized, cartoon-like visual style of Gearbox's shooter Borderlands--which already looked quite nice in still shots--will work out when the game's moving? Wonder no more; GameTrailers continues its stunning cavalcade of E3 exclusives with a new trailer.

      
    Thoughts? This just furthers my opinion that this new art style was just the aesthetic kick in the pants Borderlands needed to really stand out, since its gameplay fundamentals already sounded cool at last year's E3. We've got an appointment to check out the game in person this week, so check back for firsthand impressions soon.

    The original art style flat out sucked, but I can definitely get behind this.

    I agree with Brad, the last thing I want is another sci-fi video game where gray and brown are the last surviving colors in the future. It really sets Borderlands apart, but I still am curious  as to what you actually do in the video game and what the story is going to be like. Also I am curious as to what RPG elements the game is going to have that Gearbox has constantly alluded to.

    Totally getting this when it comes out.  New style looks a bit like the free shooter Warsow which is awesome.

    This may sound odd, but I think Borderlands just looks really beautiful. I want to get it just so I can drive around and look at rock formations and rusting machinery. If Gearbox can pull out some quality gameplay then this will be a must buy for myself.

    Hopefully they will add in a gun which shoots guns.

    Wow.  Just, WOW.  I have nothing against cell shading but this looks like junk.  I can't see how anyone could watch that not think it looks terrible.

    That was the opposite of eye candy.

    That looked pretty cool, if the gameplay holds up I may have found my personal game of the year.

    Fixed.  But it really isn't cel shading in the first place, at least, so the developers say.

    This is actually one of the few games that I am truly excited for.  Looks fantastic and hopefully the gameplay will be up to par with the graphics.  If so, we are in for a treat.

    It's Gearbox. It's FPS. The textures and concepts are nice. I duno, can't find anything to complain about yet. I'll be looking for more of this.

    it sort of looks like they just clicked cel-shaded button on the graphics engine. it doesn't look fully realized like Prince of Persia.

    My top 5 most anticipated games for the rest of the year are:

    inFAMOUS

    Red Faction

    Borderlands

    Fallout 3 GOTY

    Uncharted 2

    I don't even like gun games, but I do like collecting things. So tons of upgrades and customization really has me excited. Plus I also dig cel shading over realistic graphics any day of the week. It's a video game why does it have to go for realism? Wind Waker, DQ8 and Rogue Galaxy were all very pretty games to me.

    I actually do like the new art style and direction they chose. Even if at first I was a little apprehensive about it, it does look really good and atleast gives the game some unique feel to the general browns, greys and dull monotone colour scheme most games today seem to choose.

    Looks nice.  Wish the outlines were a LEETLE thinner but otherwise looks like it has a lot of character.

    Well... I want this a bit more than I previously did.

    I actually adore the new art style beyond belief this is a must buy! Really can not wait for more coverage on this.
