BORDERLANDS 2

Borderlands 2, the appropriately named sequel to Borderlands, is really coming. 2K Games and Gearbox took to the wires this morning to announce that yes, just like the recent rumors stated, Borderlands 2 is in the works. Praise the gaming gods. Borderlands is one of the best PC shooters ever. Let’s just hope it’s not locked down by some nasty DRM scheme.

The release doesn’t lay-out the plot line or tease any tantalizing details, but it does say the game will feature “all-new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons and equipment, which come together in an ambitiously crafted story.” They could release a new storyline for the original and I’d be happy.

The original Borderlands is what’s called a role-playing-shooter as it combines the objective gathering and character building aspects of a role-play-game with the point of view and action of a first person shooter. The whole experience is strikingly different from the modern shooter, which tends to have a very linear and scripted path. Where Modern Warfare games feature only one route and storyline for the player, Borderlands allows players to follow dozens of paths through a general storyline. The Internet has been buzzing about a sequel nearly immediately following the original’s release.

The announcement states that the game is slated for a April 1, 2012 release. But as gamers know, that date could be pushed back numerous times. We’re just glad the developer and publisher are toiling away at the sequel.

gotta say: hell yes.

Hell yeah

Motherfucker

[TomGuycott]

I'm excited as hell.

Spoiler

I just really, REALLY hope the ending is better. That was just so distracting getting to the end of what was an otherwise awesome game and then getting that bullshit ending.

[Rakia]

My copy was 100 bucks.

That's what you get for buying a game as soon as it comes out.

(60 bucks for original and 40 bucks for the DLCs)

Does DLC even count?

Sure it adds on to the game but that doesn't mean you bought with the original game mind you.

[Rosencrantz]

the GOTY edition comes with all four expansions

he's saying he spent $100 while some of us paid $5
:F

[Rakia]

Well apparently on Steam
it's not available for Mac.
Which is weird, cause there is Borderlands for Mac.
Humph, I don't want to have to virtual console to play it.

[Cobalt Blue]

borderlands best fps ever hands down.

[Rosencrantz]

oh and I guess I'll bump this up for three reasons:

1) totally missed posting the teaser trailer


2) totally missed an extended view on the game as a whole


3) totally missed the demo gameplay

bad quality b/c it's a leak but whatever

[LuXun]
