Borderlands

I really really like the look of this, Mad Max style.

Think it may have to be a pre-order

Is this similiar to fallout 3 in that you do quest and can freely roam the map and you level up?

Yep. But it seems faster paced with far more pew pew.

Not a mmo is it?

Not a mmo is it?

no SP fps/rpg but you can play up to 4 player coop where you can drop into each others games, and when you leave you keep any XP/levels/Weapons and gear you get or trade.

You can duel each other too if you both agree to it.

Good i hate mmos bloody things take over pc gaming too fast these days. Nice to have another sp fo3 type game.

 

[Leodido]

Well it's quite similar to FO3 only in appearance because it will be way more faster than FO and more action oriented than RPG. I'll definatly be getting this one, there'll be enough people on OCUK to play together I'm sure

by the way you can read the article about the game by PC Gamer over here : http://pcgamer.com/pdfs/Borderlands0609.pdf

hmm just looking at he preorder price on a high-street that i have shop credit for (traded in my old ps2 games a while back), I'm 44p short >.<

 

[The Jaded Raver]

Does look very interesting. Liking the whole RPG/ level up FPS scheme as well.

 

[Windle]

It's looking great, hence my new siggy

 

[Shadows1990]

Like the new sig Windle

Pre-ordered this on Steam just now. Haven't pre-ordered a game since Fuel (and we know how bad that was ).

 

[Arthalen]

Im massively interested in this. Its basically Diablo 2, but FPS style instead of Isometric.

And with Guns

Don't get too excited, remember what Hellgate was supposed to be?

Looks good, but will wait on reviews/demo.

yeha but I'm hoping the giant saw is still there

 

[Electroshadow]

no no no....

oh i was really looking forward to this. why oh why did they turn it into a cartoon...


borderlands and flashpoint down the drain now

 

[LeJosh]

I don't think I'll get on with the graphics, sadly. It looks much better with the giant mining machine.

You didn't mind this screen shot?

Which is still the current "conceptx" art style.

basically they wanted the engine to look like their original concept art.

take a look at some ingame vids
