Looks pretty awesome, gonna try this out tonight.

kma2k4477d ago

Am i the only one who thinks it makes it look really bland & boring?

Marceles4477d ago

Those screenshots were pretty bland in itself. They could've made better screens

ShinMaster4477d ago (Edited 4477d ago )

Well the cel-shading was used to cover up most of the blandness.

nveenio4476d ago

Actually, this doesn't really remove any shading...just outlines. It's obvious that, if you remove the outlines from a cartoon, it's not going to have the same "pop" that it has when objects are well defined.

N0S3LFESTEEM4477d ago

Do it... you'll like it better in game. I personally hate the cell shaded look but that's my opinion. You'll get a nice fps boost with it disabled.

The reason it does is because they engine they are using if the same as first game is old...like from 2005-2006 old.

So they covered this up with beautiful Cell Shaded graphics which always age better than " Realistic " type graphics...

Because eventually realistic looks dated, and cell shaded just looks like pure beautiful Art no matter when you look at it.

vickers5004477d ago

Just goes to show that art style > high resolution. (imo)

MuhammadJA4477d ago

This looks interesting! A video will be appreciated!

rezzah4477d ago

This game was originally suppose to have a realistic look to it. However, months later they revealed they'll make it cell-shaded. This was a big let down and made the game look lame in comparison to what it would have looked like.

If you ever seen the very first trailer for this game it isn't cell-shaded.

Moncole4477d ago (Edited 4477d ago )

Borderlands isn't cell shaded.

Moncole4476d ago

Okami is cel shaded and Borderlands is not. There are stuff a game need to be cel shaded.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne254d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000254d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan253d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius252d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot254d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake254d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot254d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B253d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake254d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B253d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack253d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal253d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack252d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.

While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground

Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3

And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2

Gardenia831d ago

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim831d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno831d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
