   i never heard of code-hunter till now. looks interesting. still, code hunter reminds me more of a cross between manga and that Gorrilaz music videos. love the art style by the way.

   whoa, -not even kind of close. stylistically, code hunters is on some high level artsy shit. borderlands has a similar look to the way materials and surfaces look, but from a designstand point its pretty night and day. *edit- just watched the code hunters vid. I forgot it in fine detail, and that bus is pretty one to one.

   The thing is that Code Hunters isn't the first to do these things either. Like crazyfingers I have also made the connection to Gorillaz videos. It's pretty much a mash-up of different techniques that have been around for some time; I don't mean to bash Gearbox, nor the creators of Code Hunters but none of them has the…

   I am going to agree with Rooster about Borderlands not having "cell shading". I see the term thrown around and I think people don't understand what it means. On the topic-- the Borderlands style was obviously inspired by Code Hunters. Many of the shots were borrowed. I don't think it is really wrong, and I certainly…

   Nope, haven't played. Am admittedly a bit of a fan of gearbox but i just think the logic being used in this thread is silly. I see some definite similarities, chunky designs, dusty scenes and stark shading. I don't think the outlines or grittiness are relevant at all, it's hard to count the number of artists who do that…

   This is starting to get some traction around the internet, and people are split between: 'They're both cell shaded, so what?' and 'Holy Crap they just slapped a new name on it and screwed Ben Hibon'. [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IeaC3Y8aac&feature=player_embedded[/ame]…

   You're missing my point. Gorillaz videos, while "toon" (fucking hate using this word, btw), does not look anything like this particular style of cartoon rendering. Whereas Borderlands AND Codehunters have very similar methods of cartoon rendering. By your comparison, I could say I see a little bit of Gorillaz in…

   Eh, similar looks, totally different feels. CodeHunters reminds me more of Trigun with brown cell shading-ness with some Fantasy but not quite Final in there.. After the bus intro, the two really do not match much at all. Setting, I dunno... CodeHunters seemed more post-apoc whereas Borderlands is run-down corporate hell.

    So Borderlands did the 'grimy cell shading' differently than Codehunters???
