the art style is because the use cell shading wich gives it a distinct look and I like it
hope the gameplay and controls rock
co-op is cool too

[shas'la]

The co-op is drop in drop out, so it should make the game even more appealing, I never saw it before the art style change .. or maybe i did and confused it with rage .. It handles brilliantly and the enemies scale up depending on how many people are playing.

Dancing robotic companion Claptrap and Lilith welcome you to the world of Pandora in the latest screenshots from Borderlands, meant to commemorate GamesCom 2009.



Gearbox's cooperative Diablo-esque shooter-RPG arrives on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 come October 20. For more on the Borderlands' classes, not to mention its use of procedurally generated weapons and enemies, check out our E3 impressions.

At least two downloadable content batches surprising in content and speed of release will hit Gearbox's Diablo-esque shooter Borderlands, according to CEO Randy Pitchford.

"People are going to be surprised when they find out how quickly we're coming, and with what content we're coming," Eurogamer reports Pitchford saying in a Gamescom presentation. "Also, we're going to watch and see what happens when the game launches, so we can have our plans affected by what our customers want more of."



A Twitter post by Pitchford reveals "The first 2 Borderlands DLC packs will be all new - not stuff that was cut or held back!" Gearbox's Mikey Neumann told us at E3 that DLC is often birthed during the certification period--which Borderlands is currently in.

What happens a lot of the time is you finish your game and it's time for cert, and during cert a lot of bugs crop up that you have to fix, and a lot of them are really, really big bugs. You are certainly not adding any content to the game at all. A level? No way.

But, during cert, if you have a lot of level designers who have nothing to do--which is pretty common, you pull level design and art off first--they're gonna be making cool shit and want to make cool shit. That cool shit, that tends to be what DLC ends up being. It's the stuff we couldn't add to the game because we're making it during cert, which is impossible to get into the [retail] game.

Check out our E3 impressions and the bombastic Comic-Con trailer for more on Borderlands, which is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 20.

Borderlands publisher 2K Games has announced the first batch of downloadable content for Gearbox's upcoming shooter-RPG, titled The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned.

"Tasked with keeping the workers of Jakobs Cove alive, Dr. Ned... does his job a little too well, creating zombies and other abominations that now run rampant in this region," 2K explains, describing it as a "full-fledged expansion." The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned will bring "new enemies, new quests and rare loot drops" for $10 (800 Microsoft Points).



Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford enthused "People are going to be surprised when they find out how quickly we're coming, and with what content we're coming" in August.

Borderlands will hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 20, with the PC version pushed back until October 26. The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned arrives "later this year."

Borderlands looks brilliant.
I am definitely getting this game, and I think it will be one of the best games released in the year, along with AC2 and MW2.
