Borderlands

I didn't even see that screenshot Tefal.

It does look better in motion I just don't see why they've cell shaded lots of stuff. It looks better without it. The game looks really fun though so I think I can bypass the graphics as we all know it isn't everything.

Aint really been following this game, but just looked at a handful of videos and previews and i have to say its a preorder for me

EDIT: There just hit the preorder button on steam and also a copy for my bro....last week i preordered l4d 2 for me and my brother, this is an expensive month.

Ew cell shaded game.

Just hoping that the cartoon-esque shades are optional like it is with SF4 as I'm not overly struck by that sort of style.
Even the screen posted by Tefal has some rather heavy shading on the character on the right hand side on the pic.

I'm actually holding fire on the pre-order now. For the sake of saving £2-3 I'd rather know if Im going to like what style they finally decide on.

Ew cell shaded game.

looks pretty sweet, better than the generic brow of current unreal3 games

Ah and it's apparently not properly cell shaded but instead all of the textures have been drawn by hand scanned in and coloured in photoshop.

Fist ever hand drawn computer game?

good gameplay trailer

I like the electric critical curing the flesh off his face so you can see the skull

Nope. Many games have had hand drawn art. Mostly 2d point and click adv games.

Wasn't TF2 mostly hand drawn textures scanned in?

I dont mind the new art style though though from screenshots I prefer the old style. Who knows though it may fit the game more, plus atleast it sets it apart from the usual green,grey,brown we get to much of nowadays.

 

[LabR@t]

hmm nice , wonder how it plays

 

[psychas]

if anyone did not see it yet here some claptrap episodes making of borderlands pretty funny :

[bushmins]

Hellgate london kind of thing?

Hmm, I think I'll retract what I said above, the cartoon/shadey effect is actually quite effective after watching those videos, and its not quite as heavy as what I first thought by looking at some of those stills.

Guess I'll be pre-ordering now

yeah it seems much more cartoony in the pictures.

Although I can see myself making lots and lots of awesome desktops from screenshots

I'm quite interested in this, the game looks quite alright, and fingers crossed its great in COOP

 

[Klo]

I personally like the look, its a bit different from the generic graphics they were going to go with. Hopefully the game play is good!

 

[jakspyder]

looks epic! might add this to my list of games to get!

yeah I like the more hand drawn look with scribbles/hashes over the normal smooth cell shading.
