PSX Extreme: Borderlands Preview

PSX Extreme writes: "When you hear Gearbox Software, one thing should come to mind: first-person shooters...and lots of them. Gearbox has worked on franchises from Half-Life to Halo to Brothers in Arms. As opposed to working on a pre-existing franchise, Gearbox, with the help of 2K Games, will be bringing us an all new first-person shooter for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC with Borderlands. But will this FPS bring something new to the table?

With an emphasis on variable generating content, Gearbox sure hopes to bring gamers a different kind of experience, as opposed to other FPS games. Random generation will include levels, weapons, items, and armor. Just how random will the generation be? Gearbox has claimed that the gamer can expect as many as 500,000 different gun variations, in addition to 500,000 different item and armor variations - from those two elements alone, a total of 1-million variables exist."
