More images from the Borderlands

Shadow Complex is in August. hooray!

Agreed. Love the look of this game. Its like Wind Waker and Mad Max all wrapped up in one.

Same here. This is an excellent year for games.

"Floaty movement and guns without impact combined with unloading half a clip into a single mutant dog before it goes down seems kind of... meh-inducing? Worth a rental I reckon."

umm.. are you talking about fallout 3 or borderlands? sure that's how fallout 3 plays and it's still fantastic. what clips are you watching that give you a floaty sense? i seriously doubt you've played or seen enough borderlands to give it a judgment call / comparison such as this.

@Joe

I was actually talking about Borderlands, although you're right, Fallout 3's combat could also be accurately described as such. Not that Fallout 3 wasn't worth playing, but the combat wasn't anything to fondly reminisce about.

As for Borderland's combat, you can see footage packaged with the executive producer PR-blathering released yesterday (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/executive-producer-borderlands/53472) that shows the floaty movement and bullet-spam. Mutant dog shooting around 0:31, I like how he had to use about a clip and a half *plus* a haymaker to kill a single mutt, around 1:58 you get to enjoy the sight of the player reloading what appears to be a sort of electric tommy gun, emptying the entire clip into an enemy and removing roughly 1/6th of his health in the process.

Since this is legitimate hype media being released by the publisher posted yesterday, I can safely form an observational opinion on the game's movement and combat. Considering that the producer thought such exciting features as "looting corpses", "selling loot in stores", and "using that currency to buy other gear" were exciting, noteworthy game features, I can also *very* safely label this game as only being worth a rental.

hey, thanks for that video. i had not seen that one. i see what you mean about the movement and unleashing of ammo. however, it looks like whoever was playing in that video sucks at fps. i am not great at fps but this game is reeling me in with the rpg elements. i guess i am anxious to try it out but may need to rent it first.
