    Looks great - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Gearbox because I guess they really need this game to do well. I recently played the recent Brothers in Arms and while it wasn't the best game ever it was much better than some reviews and the general perception made it appear. That renewed my appreciation of Gearbox.

    So aesthetically it's Crackdown meets Prince of Persia, only in sci-fi setting?


    Not to be a jerk, but real original...


    Actually I like this look, after trashing Gearbox in a series of previous Kotaku posts related to the change in look of Borderlands, I honestly think it's wonderful.


    I wish more developers would take the approach of creating an aesthetically cohesive design that's less demanding on the hardware, rather than worrying about pushing polygons or using gee-whiz effects that don't really add anything to the game.


    Mass Effect for example, while gorgeous, was glitchy and suffered from serious loading and texture draw-in issues that ultimately detracted more from the experience than it added.


    I hope this will prevent Borderlands from a similar fate.

    "Concept Art" is definitely the wrong term.


    For me it's still cel-shading.

    @BarbeQueQ: I'm of the same opinion. Cel-sahding is cel-shading, I can understand why they don't want to associate the game with the technique but it is what it is.


    Still, it's a very appealing style of cel-shading.

    So it is going to be Wolverine May Cry Mutant of War?! Not a bad list of games to be compared to either. Assuming the quality is up to snuff that is.


    That 3D screenshot thing was nice. This was the first time I've seen something like that.

    The cover sold me, it's the most horrible one since the first issue.

    Hey guys look it's Wolverine! It's been awhile since we've last seen this guy. Wouldn't it be great if they had movies and games and TV shows just about Wolverine?


    Instead of focusing so much on those other mutants what they really need to do is pretend they don't exist and just make everyting about Wolverine. Too bad that will never happen.
