Borderlands

I consider getting this game, anyone else interested? It's a "role playing shooter", with over 10000 weapons, yes you heard right, 10k weapons.
Found some shiny gameplay material, its in italian tho.

Gameplay looks kind of slow to me.
But I like the comic graphics in it, just like XIII's drawing style (the comic books, not the game). Might be worth giving a shot I guess Smile

I like the fact that it's supposed to be a shooter with RPG stuff, rather than the other way around.

I considered buying this game until I noticed I got like 10 other games I gotta buy near the end of the year so we'll see what happens... It definitely looks interesting and I like the new visuals more than before. But I'm not gonna get all worked up by the "10k weapons" hype. I'm sure most of the guns look and feel the same just some stats changed. I expect some people to be kinda disappointing who think it'll have 10k completely unique and different weapons...

So, from what I understood from it. It's gonna be something in the line of L4D as well, 4 main characters, trying to make their way out of somewhere, not full of infected but mercenaries

Afaik, there is gonna be a specific number of gun parts, which can be found combined together in weapons through the levels. those parts can all be combined together. That's how you reach that big ole number of over 10k. I don't know if you can build em apart and construct your very own weapon, but that would be pretty awesome.

Been waitiing for this since it was announced (2006). I'm glad they changed the art style, it takes a break from all the gritty styles that other games feel the need to implement.

By the way, it's not just weapons that'll be randomly generated, but monsters and certain parts of the landscape too.

If it works on my machine will try for sure.

I don't really buy that whole 10000 weapons pitch, especially after I saw an interview where they said they designed an AI that generates new weapons. A random number generator is not an AI and weapons with different stats aren't new weapons.

Good vid shows of coop gameplay but also lists how you can setup the game or lobby:

Open
friends only
level close to ur level
etc
