@Deusoma: You have the money to buy both, not everyone does. All he seemed to be saying to me was that he hopes the new IP's do well. Still, this being the internet someones going to insist on being upset by that I guess.

Art style is good but textures look blurry and ugly.

Gearbox most certainly did not make Half Life. They were responsible for at least one expansion to Half Life though. For a while there they were pretty much Kings of the expansion, doing packs for a whole bunch of FPS games.

You could have at least asked about Aliens, and got no reply.

Damn, I'm totally sold. I heard a lot of chatter about this game and thought it sounded interesting but I didn't give it much thought. This interview changed my mind, I'm totally going to pick this up.

Does the art style remind anyone else of the last Prince of Persia?

I hope the framerate will be a little better by retail, but other than that it looks great.

I can't wait to see what this new IP has to offer. Borderlands has got me super excited. I have gotten sick of the continuous deman placed around sequels and reiterations of past properties. It is not healthy for the games industry to keep dwelling on old IPs as it drives capital away from new projects and keeps the industry centered on "what works." Thats "what works" for the bean counters, not necessarily works for the consumers.

" The only thing I wonder about the AI generating gear, I wonder if it actually creates different models, or uses pre-existing models with different stats. "
I'm sure it uses preexisting parts like: barrels, grips, sights, etc.

Randy's statement got me really excited; I wonder how many different parts were made. Then again I could be wrong and they just made different whole guns and the generator repaints them.

I had heard very little about this game before, and now I'm considering a preorder. As someone who grew up on the "compulsion" games (Diablo, Dungeon Siege, etc) and is slowly learning to enjoy FPS, this sounds RIGHT up my alley. Awesome. Can't wait for October :)

I came into this video only knowing Borderlands had a crazy art style, and wanted to mix roleplaying with straight up FPS. Now I know that its a game that I really need to buy.


Not to mention that Randy seems like the type of guy that I wish were in charge of most game developing companies.

I LOVE the fact that the enemies won't auto level with you. Why level up if you can't go back and beat down some low level enemies who used to give you a hard time? These guys get exactly what I want in a  game :)

This game looks flippin sweet, but I'm still undecided about buying it. Mass Effect 2 will probably be one of the biggest (if not, the biggest) rpg-shooter coming out this year. My biggies this year will be ME2 and AC2, but this game is definitely creeping its way up the excitement meter xD

Hell yes, game looks awesome & that interview answered a lot of the questions I had on the game. Now all I have to do is survive the wait for it to come out. Between this & Brutal Legend, Rocktober 2009 will pwn all for a long time.

Hearing about this game is awesome. Seeing the game in motion... Even better. My top 2 most anticipated games of the year are Halo 3: ODST ad Modern Warfare 2 but I think this will end up being my GOTY. And Randy Pitchford? Gearbox doesn't need a marketting/PR Team. Just put Randy on the frontlines and he'll win the war. Dude has 'pitch' right in his damn name!

I've preordered this game, brutal legend, and assassin's creed 2. and I'm going to wait until after christmas to get halo 3 odst and modern warfare 2, but this game is probably my most anticipated game for this year, but there are so many games coming out it's hard to tell.

"I just realized that this game is going to be everything that i wanted from the combat in fallout 3 and didn't get. (I'm not saying I didn't like fallout...just the combat part.)"

Im with you, I loved fallout, still playing it, but the combat was a little "meh". What i loved most about it was just finding loot. And thats 98% of Borderlands. Loot. And i cannot wait till this releases. I don't want them to push it to 2010. But i don't want them to release it along side CoD:MW2, Because, no matter how amazing, How polished Borderlands will be. CoD will just overtake it because of all of the fanboys. I really want this game to sell very well so we get more originals like this.
