GC 09: This headline is about Borderlands screenshots photo

I'm officially running out of things to say about all these Gamescom screenshots. Let's do our best, because up next is Gearbox's incredibly exciting Borderlands. The totally-not-cel-shaded roleplaying shooter is at the top of my "DO WANT" list right now, and these gorgeous new shots do little to quell my desire.

Borderlands will be storming America on October 20, and I've certainly got the date marked on my calender. This will be the official start of the pre-holiday AAA season (what's left of it, after all the delays) and I do not think that building my hopes up to ridiculous levels won't do any harm. No harm at all.

Can't wait for this damn game. Wonder what the Survivor specialization or whatnot is? Liking the HUD, reminds me of Republic Commando. Hell, the game in motion reminds me of Republic Commando. Hopefully this will last a long time, because this game looks amazing.

I'm really looking foreword to this game this could possible be my GOTY but there is one thing i hate about the game... and i really do hate this... I can not stand the art style. And since you have to look at the game the while time i almost don't want to buy it. But the gameplay the co-op the rpg/fps thing going on everything about it just looks amazing. I just hope gearbox goes to a normal art style for borderlands 2 (if there ever is such a thing)

God gearbox just go back to the old art style.

The pic of the redhead with the clevage is very gorgeous and shows off a lot of great color variety for this game. Her eyes are beautiful for a game character too!

That is a lie. That headline is about that headline.

This game is like the plain girl with the great personality.
Except she looks amazing.
And has robots and giant purple crab monsters.

Although SnakeDude4Life alluded to it, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "hitting their weak points for massive damage" yet.

And Zeta Crossfire is the one person in existence who feels the way he does.

Can't wait for the game... though I can't say I like the new art direction... I really liked that original trailer from years ago.
Still... sometimes screenshots don't do justice...

Dexter345: Damnit, that's the first thing I was going to say. But I was busy spamming Harmonix demanding that they make ELO tracks available for Rock Band.

I guess the only question left about Borderlands is if it has real-time weapon change, amirite? I'm pretty sure they've got RIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAACCCCCEEEERR in there somewhere already.
