Borderlands Screenshots Continue Style Explosion

Here's another look at the new art style for Gearbox Software's Diablo-meets-Halo shooter Borderlands. Once an interesting concept wrapped in a somewhat straightforward presentation, Gearbox has certainly carved some character into the title with the recent palette swap.

Borderlands is scheduled for release later this year on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

I have no problem with over the top character designs that play loose with anatomy, most of this looks good.

However, I'm gonna nitpick this shot:
http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=11901&game_id=4612#134345

My god, that guy's knee... That's too much. It can still fit stylistically with the rest of the game and not fold up like a broken useless limb.

It's probably not something you'll notice much while you're playing, but still, hopefully they can fix stuff like that before release.

In Gearbox's original statement with the screenshots of the new style Randy said something like it would allow Gearbox to do things they couldn't do before. Is this form normally easier to render than the normal version or something?

Sorry, but I think it looks like shit. Yeah, I know, I'm in the minority apparently but whatever. It looks like a friggin cartoon, I hate it. This went from the top of the hype list to the DO NOT WANT pile.
