Epic Borderlands 2 Launch Trailer is Epic

Unread postby News Portal » 23 Feb 12, 12:39 pm

How the sequel to one of 2009’s riskiest new IPs has gone on to become one of the most anticipated titles of 2012 is really kind of remarkable, and up until right now Gearbox have been pretty canny about keeping its finer points under wraps. [app=8533]Borderlands 2[/app]'s launch trailer tells you just about everything you wanted to know, and is also choccas with pumping dubstep. Clap-Trap even gets down with the drop at one point. Yes, this is the wubbing greatest trailer we’ve seen this year, thus far. Brace self.

How many people are sitting there going, “I am totally going to be playing as Zero”? Yes. Most of you


Not if Maya is anything like Lilith. :wink:

Axton gets turrets. Is it Axton? Anyway. The Roland replacement.
I love turrets. :mrgreen:

First time I've actually enjoyed some dubstep, too. :lol:

This is on my must buy list this year.

I'll wait to see what Maya's abilities are, but most likely going Axton. Turrent ftw!

Gearbox dudes told me: "She does NOT phase walk. No sir."

Looks to me like CRAZY JEAN GREY PSYCHIC POWERS instead, though. Destructive win. I was a Lilith for Borderlands. So much badassery. Duel ME, will you? *becomes invincible*

*drool*

Can someone take a look at 0:53 and judge whether that hover thingy is npc controlled or does it look like one of the playable classes?

I'd like to be able to fly around in Borderlands 2, driving is fun but flying for those times when you don't want to drive :D

Pretty sure there's no flyin'. They said there'd be a vehicle that can "fit all four charries in it," but it sounded to me like it was a ground-roller like the first game.

Never really liked Borderlands much. Held my interest to begin with by was glad it was over by the end. Certainly not 'OMFG must play' game imo.

Did you play co-op or single?

Co-op was so much f**king fun.

Agreed. Single player was pretty meh.

Also hope there's a little more synergy to the talents this time, rather than 90% being flatout stat increases.

If they sort out the co-op stuff from the start for 2 then it's going to be amazing. Hoping they tie in with Steam or Origin friends lists or even GFWL rather than the disaster that was Gamespy.
Because oh my god, co-op Borderlands is so much fun.
