  • I hate it when people call Borderlands Cel Shaded, because it isn't. Cel Shading (Yes, only one L) means having no gradient shadings. Borderlands did have gradient shadings and lightings, if you want to know what Cel Shading looks like, take a look at LOZ: Wind Waker. Borderlands is just cartoony graphics and outlined models. Looks pretty cool nonetheless, just wanted to make that clear.

  • Looking back the game actually turned out better than the trailers. Most trailers are way beyond the premises of their respective games.

  • I think I would of prefered this version, srry, not a big fan of cel shade.

  • This trailer is a million times more serious than the game itself. I wish the trailer captured the comedic side of this game... When I actually played it, I was surprised and disappointed for a sec. Not because of the game, it was great. But because it was completely different than what I was prepared to play. Its like having your mouth "ready" for a great steak, and getting a great pizza instead.

  • @rorshachfan i get that. you are prepared for something great but then get something completely different. not that the other thing isnt great in of itself its just nbot what you were expecting but after trying it you still liked it.

  • @rorshachfan thats because a year before the game came out, they decided to change the graphics and idea behind it. It was originally supposed to be like fallout.

  • i know what vga means vagina

  • Wait, if the light is shining brightly, shouldn't her pupils turn smaller?

  • what the hell the graphic is different form the game.

  • i read a lot of mixed comments about this game should i play it or not?

  • @TubePirate1001 yes i got it day it came out and im still playing it especially now that i got alot of my RLF's to get it

  • @TubePirate1001 if you have friends that play it and you like shooters definitely but if you go in alone its still a fun a game but it doesn't feel like you are getting the "full experience" there also some light RPG elements because you level up and such

  • Woah Borderlands had good graphics?

  • @Darkwatch793 you mean it HAS good graphics. realistic graphics arent the only kind of "good" graphics

  • @Darkwatch793 yea after they scrapped this shit ^_^

  • Why were they making Duke Nukem when they could have been making Borderlands 2? >:<

  • look look look ok we get that cell shaded has unique qualities and then we have what every other game has... but todays gamers have been stuck in hd land for awhile and that is why borderlands is shunned for its difference. so had they kept with todays interest i believe the game would of been a bigger hit than what it is now. i do in fact have the game and logged in more than 100 hours but i feel that my 64 has better graphics than this game. just sayin

  • I had no idea that Borderlands was once serious and realistic o.O;

  • this game looks more serious without the cell shaded cartoon,

  • @myshcoolaccount yeah, thats kind of the idea. borderlands' humor is a lot funnier because its cell shaded. could you imagine if it looked like this, and you saw claptrap dancing? it wouldnt be as funny. itd be lame

  • @SpiritTHIRTY1 well ya before when they had these graphics there wasnt any comedy implied in the game at all so thats the bonus to the graphics they whent with, i wouldnt have minded the serious kind of game tho cause im a big fallout fan so either way i would have liked this game

  • I prefer this style. One of the turns off I had with borderlands was the graphics.

  • @karnowo123 I was thinkin the same thing, I love the customized cel-shading technique they used but I've always been curious to see what it'd be like if it were created with realistic graphics

  • they should have an edition where u can switch with the old graphics and the cell shaded ones

  • A random gun generator in the game allows an infinite collection of weapons so you don't need to worry about variety.

  • Guns, just about infinite, and despite the poor graphics, it adds the the overall epicness of this game... theres sumtin satisfying about shooting sum1 in the head and their entire body goes "pop" and bits and peices go flying a 100 meters straight up

  • @Glorfindle69 kid borderlands doesnt have poor graphics. Your dumb for saying that. they created their own look thats different and not used in every game. i love the borderlands graphics and hope they keep it in borderlands 2 i hope they make.

  • @JoKeRsObLiViOn420 i think u misunderstand the comment

  • @JoKeRsObLiViOn420 Im with u :P (borderlands 4 ever <3) its nice graphic and they has they're own style.

  • You know. I kind of like this. I liked Borderlands as it was, but still. It's nice to see what could have been.

  • what's cell shaded?

  • @carlosmspk its the cartoon style of graphics borderlands has, crackdown and Afro samurai also have the same style.

  • The vault looks way better in the trailer, damn, and 2 moons?

  • Anyone who's first dose of Borderlands is this, and then visits the website, will be very confused.

  • I wish they had kept along these developmental lines

  • This was supposed to be a humorous video game wtf lololol

  • Around 3100000 guns are in this game, and yes, I am being DEAD serious

  • @kirby1243 wrong, it's 17,750,000 and counting... but either way its a LOT of guns.

  • this doesnt look very borderlandsy

  • @ShITYouWannaKNO I don't think the actual game is cell shaded. It is just the textures are made to look like they are hand drawn. I think cell shading is when you turn the shaders down on 3D models making the shading turn from gradiants of colour into block flat coloured shapes. Which makes the shading on a persons face or environment look as if it was inked in. This game does not have that but it is close to the same effect which is that flat comic book look!

  • The trailer right here was great. I would've taken it either way. As long as the weapons and gameplay stayed the same. I modded a Siren on there that was nothing short of fuckin' unbelievable. I still have guns people would kill untold amounts of foes for too. My screenname on here is actually the same as it is on xbox live. Does anyone happen to know if the invincible shield did indeed get outlawed? Is Gearbox still letting us mod weapons? 'Cause I still have over 200 weapons and the shield.lol

  • This game is so much better cell shaded...

  • @Arbiter3287 Be better if they had an option for the look the trailer had...Been pretty damn nice.

  • Pretty crazy how much a game can change after the initial trailer.

  • @ShITYouWannaKNO I would go with "cell shaded cartoon comedy" any day.

  • wtf!!! this doesn't have anything to do with the game lool

  • is there as much freedom ingame as in fallout?

  • @colloredbrothers sadly, no, but there is a TON OF GUNS! :D

  • HEYOOOOOOOOO

  • damn... this makes teh game seem so much better then it really was... i wish it was as good as this cuz if it was id still be playin it after 2 months of it

  • too bad the vault is but it was ocupado

  • this trailer is so unfit

  • nice to see the mayor of New Haven in VGA finally see that scared up face.. now WTH happen to her to get that way.. did she play with nine toes in the bedroom hehe

  • So, Ned failed to turn her into a zombie... what a pity.

  • Really dissapointed with current one even it is well-received. I'm in favor of dark- themed like this than the real version.. too bad waiting for this kind of borderland for 2 years until they scrapped it..

  • This game was planned to be so much more badass than it is now...I would have loved to see randomized terrain, equipment, clothing/armor, guns...everything would have been randomly generated except for major cities/towns...but they switched directors and he dumbed it down to guns and equipment only and made it cell shaded....

  • Any1 realize the bandit was Krom

  • this was the "original" borderlands till they changed it due to memory issues

  • Borderlands is one of my favourite games of all time, but if they kept the original plands it looks so much better!!!

  • They went with the cel-shaded graphics for the consoles. Lower res textures take less memory and processing power.

  • That's the proof that they could made this game with insane graphics. It will just suck alot. Not because it's too realistic it's good ( not always ). I don't like CoD 6 even if it's the game with best graphics ( until Halo Reach comes out ).

  • jeez. how come it wasnt in theaters? well, rumor has it that they are making a halo movie series thats NOT animated.

  • @evileye7546 the halo movie comes out in 2012 its called "halo live action".

  • Thank goodness they didn't go with the Brown, Dark Brown, Gray, and Muzzle flash palette that's all the rage in FPSs. This trailer looks so generic.

  • ***Spoiler***

    Was there even a vault in the original version?

    It's true by the way what Pierce said: the vault doesn't exist.

    Are they gonna make a sequel or was that it?

  • @Zadeify their is a possibility of a sequel since the way we respawn is because they keep our DNA and make us come back.

    (that explain the money we pay)

    so they could star the next borderlands with a video telling us why we are back, (the reason: you agreed with the person who run the U-station to be cloned in 1000 when the vault would be back.

    and then when we respawn we discover a NEW pandora that has went over many thing in the last 1000 years

  • Borderlands is fun but they should have stuck with this I remeber being so dissapointed when they decided to go with the crap graphics as if anybody pays good money for a pc or console to play a game that looks like a coloring book. I mean the charcters don't even talk or move outside of enemies and your character

  • @TheJasonrox I think the graphics are a lot better this way, it gives everything a bit of charm and it pops out instead of being a dull array of post apocalyptic brown and gunmetal grey.

  • @TheJasonrox

    This makes the game unique. Think about it. A game JUST like every other game trying to have graphics. This is pretty much "Hey, fuck your graphics and character motions. This game has sick and orgasmic gameplay. It's a middle finger to Halo, CoD, GoW and all those games, with a vulgar thrust."

  • @Nanoitz yeah but the graphics are just awful characters are stale and look like they came from a coloring book it just felt cheap like half the characters don't even talk and who cares how many guns it has if they all look the same and worse yet it didn't run very good on ps3 or xbox and i didn't care for the pc version and it felt repetative you fight and kill everything the same way the entire game looked the same all the way through

  • @TheJasonrox

    No they actually aren't. You take graphics as they have to be COMPLETELY REALISTIC. Your just 'judging a book by it's cover'. And Borderlands was a GOD game, and a lot of people bought and played this. Sure the game has different graphics, but that is just change, just like how cell-shaded games came from 8-Bit. I don't think it's gets boring either. But, like I said, Borderlands: A big FUCK YOU to graphics.

  • @Nanoitz I'm not judging a book by it's cover i bought played and beat this game and the graphics looked cruddy because it made evrything look the same all the guns all the scaggs look the same all the characters you see besides enimies stand still and never talk and you pick your character you never see any of the other character in the game besides the girl

  • @TheJasonrox

    So your saying just because the characters aren't dynamic the game is complete trash? It has a great gun system, it isn't choppy, the graphics are just what people who can't make a good excuse to why a game is bad lean on. It has different graphics then other games and it makes it seem different. This game was made when? 2007? For it's time, it was something different that everyone could enjoy.

  • @Nanoitz Came out it 2009 but it does feel like it came out before that anyway we'll call it even different strokes for different folks

  • @Nanoitz I LOLed at the vulgar thrust part xD

  • Nice video, bad voiceacting.

  • Woah...like...this IS NOT the trailer!

  • This is da best

  • i think they should have released this one and the new one!

    because they both have like 2 seperate stories, just think of it as an alternate story!!

  • @teothedemon  This one was too expensive to be made. They canceled the game for a while then remade it. I still think that they should go back and make this game.

  • Hmmm... 01:01, a Lilith who looks like Steele, a very generic looking Rolan and Brick is nowhere to be seen. As Brick himself would say, "AHHHHHHHH! ARGH ARG ARRR AHHH!". Glad they made the changes.

  • @TheKaisama maybe he is doing brick stuff.. O.o

    

  • @TheKaisama Steele WAS original skin for Lilith, I believe.

  • Guns are needed...Guns are wanted.

  • Ahh d00d! THE VOICE ACTING ROX MOAR SOX THAN CHUK NURRIS!

  • fuck anyone who dosent like this game, it's ridiculous!

    "MORE MEAT FOR ME!"

  • they almost made the game look good. =/

  • this graphics looks better

  • @Goldberbfan3 It is prerendered -_- of couse they are better graphics and if you mean that there ain't any catoonish outline. I would say that the catoonish graphics are a part of its awesome style

  • @andersblabla Couldn't agree more. Its not about the graphics, its about the game itself!

    P.S. I want that many guns :(

  • it went a whole other direction great railer

  • i just beat the game, IT IS SICK.

    P.S. of you want to know how that girl in the video is, its helena pierce, the mayor of new haven.

  • PHOON, he he he

  • im so glad they changed it if it was left like this it would hs been like every other shooter thats out now

  • they should have made the option of playing this version too

  • do u guys know how many people play this on PC ? cause i was think of buying the game but i dont know if people is still playing.

  • @MasterCoin007 I'm unable to find any servers within the game itself, but I use GameRanger and there are always at least 30 games running. Most of them are private, though ; and take note that you won't be able to join some games if you don't have the add-ons. But you can always usually find one that allows you to join.

  • the scene with the "vault", the slap glowing yellow, seems like it was showing their prototype verions of the siren, soldier, and merdecci. mybe they later deicided on a new siren class model, and made their current general steele, and the soldier just improved upon.

  • Borderlands VAG Trailer lol

  • @jonnyjonny26 your soooo hott

  • @jonnyjonny26 HA! good one!

  • so much better like this, wasted potential is a terrible thing.

  • it looks terrible there but amazing with the other graphics!

  • i wonder what it'd have been like with the original graphics

  • i play borderlands on the 360. add me

    GT= SniperDude Alex

  • The only thing I wish they would have kept is the Siren model (aka Commander Steele)

    LIKE COME ON, HOW BADASS!

    The graphics fit this game completely, and yes they are making a second. Lets hope that one doesn't have a failure of an ending =/

  • yes, borderlands had a sci fi look until 11 hours after the game was realesed to the public and the xbox 360. but gearbox and 2K were smart and didnt want it to be like mass effect or bethesdas fallout three or the upcoming fallout new vegas (OMG!) so they did something called an eleventh hour change, and comepleteley changed the look of the game and the opinion of the public. some liked it some didnt. its your opinion i sure as hell liked it. (they might make a new game in fall,but for now,no.)

  • Yea, Borderlands now is amazing some people think why would yuo want cartoon graphics? Well i couldnt imagine this game without them. Normal graphics woulddnt fit this game, humor and style. It is an awesome game 5/5 and i dont NOT think why will be realeasing another, the DLC they have out is prob making enough money, if they do make another you bet your ass ill get it

  • borderlands changed alot. its not even close to this trailer. more funny and cartoonish

  • This would have been a total rip off of fallout or oblivion if it was like this instead they made it funny and completely mindless and a boss u fight in borderlands was the original character model (reaver)

  • borderlands 2 only has a chance of loosing game of the year if fallout / oblivion comes out with some next gen super game. if there is a borderlands 2

  • this artwork is sooo cliche, the final end result is far more original. And give Gearbox a break, its the first of its kind. I am more than willing to bet that Borderlands 2 will blow the first one out of the water. This is only the beginning...

  • i like guns

  • Why would anybody want the artwork to be like this? o_O

  • @Togain Because we wanted to play a game, not watch a cartoon.

  • sad face :(

    wish Borderlands woud have been like this instead.

    but hey, its still good.

  • guns . if that dont work , use more guns

  • too bad the art style never became like this

  • Dude, it isnt Final Fantasy.....

  • I know Ive played it, but I still woulda want to see the art like this

  • Yea, but the graphics are what makes this game unique

  • Looking for xbox Gamer for Borderlands Gt Commander joopx

  • @Joane666 I'm up for that! GT: TXI JediPenguin, add me up

  • This trailer makes it seem like Borderlands' story was a big part of the game...too bad it wasn't.

  • Ya I've gotten into a lot more games with a really story driven backdrop and this game seems bland in that regard.

  • @Tarasepp but dude......... guns..

  • gun's aren't everything, I am a story driven gamer. Guns are just a bonus heh

  • @Tarasepp guns ARE the backbones of this game. I'm, myself, a story driven gamer too. Even though the story isn't engaging and quite disappointing, the guns made it up for it, somehow.

  • @darkphoenix2 at first it was.

    people found in the game some echo that have never been used in the final game, aand these echo we're part of the story line and was giving it a bit of what was missing.

    but borderland is awsome even with a little story problem

  • @darkphoenix2 lmfao true...the biggest part was GETTIN GUNZ

  • @darkphoenix2 maybe it was at some point... notice the more realistic look in this trailer.

  • u bet my ass the valt is real

  • this looks like it could make it intoo a movie but wher is Brick ?

  • changed ALOT!!! I would have liked to have seen the girl with the two white braids in her hair. Though Lilith is pretty and crazy awesome.

  • @EpziWasHere

    Commandant Steele was Lilith's original model

  • the guy at 0:23 looks like krom

  • no one talk im telling you somthing

    this is the best game ever

  • This version looked like shit.

  • what happend to her faaaaaccceeee

  • i find it funny that here she's presented as this all important character, yet in the actual game she barely gives out any speaking lines whatsoever

  • she gives out like 15 missions in New Haven, i think that's pretty important

  • Szkoda, że nie wygląda tak jak na pierwszych trailerach...

  • I like Borderlands better with the Cell Animation, adds more fun to the game, plus its something new and different and i like that

    Borderlands = 10/10

  • agreed, not quite 10/10 though, could use a little improvment, but Brilliant non-the-less. 9/10

  • wait and it shows this vid was shown in Dec. 12 2007 ???

  • almost looks like commandant steel was going to be a playable character

  • my goddamn god! i downloaded this in jan '08 fuck its borderland! the cover of the game doesn't # all look to have connection with this trailer my god

  • Haha, I know right?!? I like it better now

  • look how much the game changed from then to now!

  • this would make a great movie but as a game trailer not so much.

  • the game is uber-awesome! the trailer is kinda cinematic though

    helena pierce is still a beauty btw

  • Great game. But this trailer is a bit misleading. graphics for one thing, and also the feeling of the game. The feeling that's emited from this trailer is more of a, screwed-up-planet feeling, when the game gives off a, plain-out-fucked-up-planet-tha­t-I-wouldn't-leave-an-ant-on feling. The trailer makes it look less leniant in the way of waywardness(lol). MUY OPINION

  • Well, the Graphics change in Borderlands was a relatively late decision, and this was a trailer preceding that decision. One thing I wish is that we could have got both games when we got Borderlands. A plot-heavy, more mature game, and the loose loot-em-up we ended up with. It would have been yet another awesome replayability incentive.

  • @coin409 this trailer is years old, i saw it possibly late 2008. this was the original borderlands

  • @coin409 At first Gearbox was working towards a normal art style game.... But probably found out by Cell shading the game it would give it more market appeal.... by being different to other FPS's.

  • @coin409 not really as misleading if you notice the trailer is 2 years old. Its how borderlands would have been.

  • they should make a patch where you can choose for normal or cartoony graphics!

  • @ AlpineGuitars That would be soooo awesome! I might even be willing to pay for that as a DLC

  • they should have a comic about this

  • i like it with new graphics... but i hope there will be a secound chapter with normal style..

  • should i buy this game?????

  • yep, this game rocks 100%

  • if ur making your decision based on this trailer... ur gonna get the wrong idea about graphics... i'd recommend to watch the 2nd trailer and make ur decision based on that...

    link to 2nd trailer:

    watch?v=tUAz9Iyfsm0&feature=re­lated

  • this trailer rocks

  • its really different but very nice in comic style :)

  • Borderlands is sooooooooooo different now.

  • I really don't see why developers waste so many resources on producing pre-rendered trailers years before the game's released.

  • agree

  • There's always a reason; they don't do it and not know why. If a company can build hype around a game, they will have better chances finding a publisher if they get dropped, or if they haven't found one to begin with. If more people are excited, their budget might go up. This is one of the best ways to do that.

  • To spark interest dummy.

  • the game have tons of story in it.. but we havent heard about it.. only the vault which we still didnt get to see the inside off. and Pandora is a big planet which probley have more secret to unlock. this game is 112% kickass.

  • @zurgtheone

    I thought it was 112.314%
