Borderlands Teased with First Footage of New Art Style

that looks very intresting.. The anime appearance looks very sleek.. which im adding this to my Game Q right now, since it has Console versions that are going to be coming out for the Xbox and PS3.. Kinda looks like fallout 3 with aliens and vehicles..

The video doesn't give much character to whats instore of the game.. but the vehicles and the weapons looks like its in the future.. Borderlands made by Take two, creators of Army of Two, The Darkness, Bioshock, and take2 also helped develop GTA IV this game might be very interesting when it comes out.. because take two in the past has created games that had kicked ass and class with it..

Doesn't really detail on what they have in store for the game..

But if its anything like any other game made by Take2/2k.. it will have a multiplayer/co-op that would really bring a great stance in the game, as like in the game The Darkness, playing as a demon and wall crawling.. bizzar and very different style of gaming.... oh well i will be followin this game now.. already added to my Q.. easy..

Cross yr fingers for a multiplayer attachment

Looks good.

FIRE everyone who was involved in approving that music.

Other than that.... can't wait to see more.

is it just me or does cell-shading with the black outline look like more like a weird anti-aliasing glitch than an intended effect?

God dammit this game would be awesome if it wasn't cell shaded. I always wanted a mad max style RPG/FPS type thing and now they have to screw it up with garbage looking cell shade filters.

I don't want to be a negative nancy, but the cell-shaded approach has never appeared tasteful to my eyes in any game but Jet Set Moto or whatever. Every other game it just... hurts, and I know that I won't be able to put quite as many hours into a gritty, barren wasteland when it looks like a cartoon.

Or maybe i'll get used to it, but bah, I wish it had stayed realistic. There is something about the concept of this game that demands cruelty so that you can rely on your friends to keep you going, and I was hoping some of that would come from the visuals.

That's almost enough to make Borderlands a day 1 purchase for me, just for the aesthetics. I'm a huge Diablo fan so I hope Gearbox executes on that formula but even if they fail in every other respect, the art direction for this game is truly unique.

I'm sure this was brought up with older screenshots, but has anyone explained why that big monster has a vagina face?

Halo/Diablo hybrid? As in "Hibernation of a long lost and pissed-off alien race in a planet far far away gets disturbed by bunch of ravaging human colonists who end up in a world of hurt with their new overlords + randomly generated map and item features" makes it hybrid of those two games?

I fail to see the connection :P

The footage needs more footage! (meh.. teaser, i know) Looks OK to me. Is Gearbox using a proprietary graphics engine or did they license one?

Looking forward to hearing more about the gameplay.

I don't know if I really like the art style. It doesn't really seem to suit the setting. Doesn't look too bad though.

The cel shading looks awesome for the most part, but the outermost outline shader looks a little too thick. Werd cutout look

Looks great (especially in HD), but that music is pretty grating on the ears. Hopefully that was "trailer" music and not "game" music.

cant. wait.
