Borderlands

So this game is sounding pretty interesting.

"The game will incorporate a content-creation system that will allow for "thousands of unique, randomly generated missions, weapons, and situations." It will also allow for high levels of customization of both vehicles and characters."

So here are the articles involving this game.

What are your thoughts so far?

That sounds huge.
I need to see the guns!?

Jesse Moody

I'm pretty sure some will be in the issue of Game Informer...at least that is what I was told.

AstroZombie

They showed us an early playable at the last company party. This game is gonna rock.

Anything Diablo gameplay related + Mad Max styled = win

Good luck to any of you Gearboxers working on this one, the idea alone is awesome!

Co-op first person shooter that's being introduced as Mad max meets Diablo? I'll have two!

edit: why didn't I know about the Aliens game in development?!
Holy shit!

AstroZombie

I dunno for sure, Jesse. But considering how the guns are such a major feature of this title, I can't imagine that they wouldn't show some of them. I would guess that there will also be some more stuff out following Leipzig as well.

This issue of GI hits newsstands next Tuesday, I believe.

Hah, I was sure this thread was about the bookstore in San Francisco ... I was all ready to comment on their weird cat.

Sounds fun as hell!

This along with Fallout 3 and Rage will satisfy my love for Post Apocalyptic settings.

sounds cool so far.
I am totally loving the resurgence of Co-op game play.

Jesse Moody

Here are a few new screenshots.

This one is awesome. I modeled this huge construction vehicle while in school but we gave it legs for an old UT2004 mod.

Awesome to see it in a real game.

Jesse Moody

Oh man Lee thanks for pointing me to this. Have to share it with everyone. This game looks freaking amazing.

Looks pretty cool. I wouldn't say "the game looks freaking amazing" without seeing some actual gameplay..

But, post apocalyptic = win.

IronHawk

Give me Meph runs with guns!!!! Yeah this game looks fun.

Joshua Stubbles

sexy. Sign me up.

rawkstar

hey that trailer is all prerendered right?

Wells

Man, I'm going to break so much ground playing this game

Ged

looks kewl! the overexposed filters on the trailer were a bit much, couldnt see much detail at all though it is probably there. I hope its not mmo pay as you go or micropayments etc. Just diablo style 4 play online co-op sounds great!

ebagg

Should be soweeeeet!

nacire

This was the one world premiere on the VGA's that caught my attention. Looks pretty cool.

CrazyButcher

looks more cool in real

Ged

woah that thing exists!? whats the giant saw for? chopping up gigantic invading dinosaurs?

Slum

I would assume it's for cutting trenches, probably for resource pipelines.

it's actually for digging mines and those are huge shovel like things. Theres a picture somewhere else of a bulldozer being stuck in the side of one of them.

Just heard about this from a friend, here's some vids:

Looks incredible to me, I've never understood why more games don't do generated content like this. They generate about half a million different guns, with each in-game manufacturer having different specs, etc. Been waiting for a game like this to play with my buddies

Pedro Amorim

That big ass saw was made by a fellow polycounter. Was made by Josh Powers aka Flewda.

TheWinterLord

it is not a saw, its many scoops. it diggs. and it is run by electricity. :P

thomasp

the thing's used for mining and a frequent sight in certain areas of germany.

Pedro Amorim

its ze wok ov ze devil!

IronHawk

this looks fun and I'm really looking forward to it! Grats to any PC'ers working on this.
