Thanks Gir!

Do you have a link or is that all they talk about? This is bigger than Fallout 3 right?

I do not care for Fallout 3, so I'm not sure how large it is compared to it.

I do believe this is bigger than Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is slightly smaller than Cyrodill (Oblivion) and Cyrodill is ~16 square miles, so Borderlands is bigger than Fallout 3 by a couple miles.

Hmm, sweet!

Hmm I saw a Trailer for this a long while back and I was really psyched. Seems it was probably before the change in art style. It centered around a chick telling a story and at the end of it when she turns you see the other side of her face and it's all mutated/burned off....

I'm at work so I can't view any of these videos until after work.

Same game or am I off my rocker?

[Abbadon]

Yep it's the same game and same story. However, the graphics have done a 180, but in my opinion that is not a bad thing!

The art style of Borderlands really makes the game stand out, particularly now that it's been redesigned earlier this year with the cel shading-influenced look. However, one thing that was unexpected was the improvement in visual fidelity on the PC. Thanks to DirectX 10, improved resolution that supports 1920x1200 and better shading and texture work, the PC version really appears to leap off the screen. That's not to say that the console versions aren't eye-catching, because they are; however, put side by side, the PC version appeared to be the clear visual standout. We'll have much more on Borderlands soon, but for now, check out the latest clips of the game in action.
