Also Me: *watches Borderlands trailer 5 times in the 10 minutes it's been on Youtube*

As much as I'm excited for this, I can't help but wonder about the graphics...looks like they didn't make use of pbr AT ALL? Every material looks the same, skin looks like rocks which look like metal and so on. Weird.

Can't watch the trailer yet, but the screenshots look nice. Really makes me want to get back to finishing TftB.

That was such a weird trailer. Why the complete lack of dialog? Where's Axton, Gaige, Athena, Sal and Krieg?

I'm assuming Lilith is gonna die based on that. The graphics look ok but it doesn't look like a generational leap from 2 unless the zones are much bigger. Which means we're also not even gonna get stable 30fps on consoles.

The character designs are also hit or miss as always. Loader bot and rhys look great, the villains not so much.

I doubt death.

Vaughn was on the statue in the teaser, and that character with the coat appears to be Loaderbot
I want to believe the coat one is Loaderbot, the thing is though that Loaderbot has a red eye. Will have to see though, if it is Loaderbot, I have found my main character!

And yeah, I completely missed that. :o

Now that I look, that is definetly Vaughns weirdly well toned abs.

I don't think this looks bad (visually) by any means, but it seems like it could scale really well to the Switch at least.

You know it kind of bums me out how many people are willing to give Randy a pass on all the gross ass shit he's been a part of because he has a flashy new game trailer to show you. But whatever.
I'm with you, but a while dev team worked on this. It isn't their fault a creep like Randy is in charge.

But I get it, it does feel glossed over.

With more worlds, I hope there is less back tracking. Goddamn do these games get tedious with that shit

Announcing the game only to say "full info next week!" feels... odd.

Like, I get that they probably have a GI cover or something like that. But it sort of knocks the wind out of the sales to build up all this buzz for a live announcement event - then announce exactly what everyone knew you were going to announce - and walk away without any huge extra tidbits.

I suppose the character reveals in the trailer do enough for fans to get them talking - but I think at least a date would've made this announcement feel more significant. Or announce it's playable at the show.

I think yall are asking for too much from the series. It looks much the same, sure, but brought back the flava which is exactly what Borderlands is all about.

Yeah, I doesn't blow me away graphically.

I wonder if it is because of the art style...

I think the graphics are fine. I don't mind it because it can get away with it due to its style, but I do think it can do a lot better with its materials than what we are seeing here, while still maintaining the cel shaded look. Hopefully it improves over time.

Doesn't seem much different from BL2 graphically, but still great. That new city environment looked cool.

Seeing the Tales Of cast show up is really neat. Was hoping they would ditch the whole 4 character classes thing. Don't think I can do another one.

I just did a run through of Borderlands 2 on PC last night with some modifications, tweaks, and reshade. This looks several magnitudes better, immediately. I can see why some of the character designs don't excite, but that's about it.

Did you not watch their GDC tech demo from 2017? All the materials are physically-based and they made it a big part of the keynote.

I will pay infinite amounts of money to play as the BL2 characters. Zer0 and Maya look so SLICK.

If not, will probably play as the old dude followed by the titanfall-copy lady depending on their abilities.

Yeah all we know is there are 4 new classes and new vehicle types. Which was always happening.

Have they changed ffyl at all? Are action skills different? Is the loot system more like 1 or 2? New weapon types?

Tales from the Borderlands is the only game in the series that I really like so it was nice seeing Rhys in the trailer!

If you are playing solo does that mean the mech user can drive the mech? That would be reall sucky if they can't
