This game went from interesting to must buy for me. I think its awesome when games opt for a more stylized and original look. June release eh? Maybe in Europe. Gamestop and VGReleases list the US date as September.

it was pretty obvious from the vids that it wasn't cell shaded.

when i saw it i thought "wow, they've really made major strides in cell-shading technology."

Perhaps the game does look like that scan that floated around?

But they call it "Painterly" or "illustrative",a tweaked version of cell shading...

I liked the look of the scan.It had some style and flare.Not just another brown/gray grunged out generic shooter...

It'll be nice to see what really is up when they showcase some shots Monday....

As I said in my earlier post,it's a "tweaked version" of cell shading...Certanly not yet another generic grunged out cookie cut shooter....

According to Gearbox Software's Steve Gibson, the cover art for the June issue of PC Gamer is an actual in-game screenshot, bereft of any post processing. While it's not technically cel-shading, it's certainly something more than your average 3D rendering, looking more like an image you'd find in a comic book than anything you'd see on a computer screen.

Take a look at the shot here....

Why even start such a rumor? If it is one.

matthewsvaughan6290d ago

I knew Gearbox couldn't be that stupid to change everything this late. with only 6 months left it would almost be impossible.

GameGambits6290d ago

I knew something didn't add up when the screenshot shown was just concept art.

OhReginald6290d ago

my hype just now went up.

dont get me wrong cel shaded games are cool and all....but it just doesn't fit games like these..

ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that

Despite Borderlands Movie Flop, Series Saw Boost in Sales; Take-Two to Be Selective on Licensing IPs

Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.

"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"

Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.

No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)

Polish a turd to make a what?!

So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
