New Borderlands Art Style Gives Title Second Wind

Borderlands the game has been hovering in the background for what seems like an eternity now. The promise of having over 500,000 unique weapons however, was seeming like it wasn't enough to pull the game from being just another mediocre shooter.
 
Of course, it's more than just a shooter, but at first glance, it wasn't really eye catching enough to get you past that initial impression. Recently however, all that has changed and what we have before us now is a pretty damn unique and impressive cel-shaded world that looks like it could lure in even the biggest graphics whores. Borderlands ... welcome back on to our radar.
 
Check out the Borderlands gallery for a look at the 7 new cel-shaded screens. While you're at it as well, take a look at what it looked like last year.

Looks incredibly enjoyable, and the cel-shaded art lends itself perfectly. Definately gonna have to rent, at the very least :)

I have been interested since the beginning without knowing about all of the unique weapons. It looks like Mad Max meets Lost Planet.

I guess I may be the only one but I don't think it looks that good .. it looks like they took stickers and put it on a backround piece of paper. I like the old pictures way better

I've been pumped for this game since the cover story on Game Informer. There's something like 500,000 different gun combinations (although we all know there's probably 6 that everyone'll use)
I'm a packrat so I love loot filled games. Also the dynamic roads system sonds so cool.

The art style is very Crackdown-ish.

Yeah, saw these pics a few weeks ago and immediately thought there were a little Afro Samurai-ish. Was a little mixed about it, but, I'm not going to let graphics stop me from picking up a potentially good game.
