Borderlands

This was a cover story for GI last year and it sounded awesome. Now we finally see it in action.

If you're wondering what Borderlands is: "Borderlands is the newest first-person shooter and Diablo-esque lootfest from the creators of Brothers in Arms, Gearbox Software. As colonists on Pandora, a planet at the edge of the galaxy, you and up to three friends must traverse the untamed land -- on foot or by commandeering vehicles -- filled with hostile creatures and other humans who aren't very nice. The ultimate goal is a secret vault holding vast amounts of alien technology that will help the colonists better colonize the planet."

Check out the walkthrough.

I was excited when I read that GI, but if I recall, I didn't see a mention of offline co op and that bummed me out. I like the concept though. I'm surprised there isn't already a thread on this game, it seemed pretty epic.

I remember reading about this game and it having about 1 mil guns. Any Updates on it?

Borderlands now with new art style

Quote:

In a post on the Gearbox forums, community manager Ennui writes, "We do care about all our fans, no doubt, and the decision to alter the art style was assuredly not one taken or made lightly... Though there's always the chance some people could be turned off by the style, it was decided that, overall, it fits the game and creates a more visually interesting experience." Gearbox adds that this new look retains detail and style that's usually lost during the move from concept art to 3D. ""The entire world has life to it, from the creatures to the very rocks and dirty walls," Ennui continues. "The game world is no less gritty, dirty, or harsh — all of the detail is there, and the environments have even more atmosphere. We solicited feedback from our focus testing initiative, which consists entirely of a very large pool of gamers from all walks of life, and in the end, the choice was clear for us."

Really like the new art style over the original generic look.
