I think this trailer wasn't used because thematically it seems to emulate Fallout's juxtaposition of light melodic music (i.e., The Inkspots "Set the World on Fire") with a dystopian environment. While there are a few similarities between Borderlands and Fallout they are very different games. It's possible whoever made the decision probably came to the same conclusion and didn't want to create a perception that BL was following in FO's footsteps.
Loved the song choice . . . but the video could have showed different things in keeping with the theme of the tune. The Trash Coast, Treacher's Landing, Salt Flats. The Borderlands scenery in so depressing and desolate they could've picked more "sad" visuals to contrast the high energy of the "No Heaven" trailer. Just my opinion . . . Awesome game though.
They both work-this is kind of the grim inevitability of disappointment and the feeling of desolation Pandora brings, note how the official trailer is more the kind of excitement beforehand... None-the-less this was more an experiment and the story changed pretty fast from what it originally came out as, but in summary: I wouldn't have minded if they used this one too.
Really cool, but I don't think it matches with the humor of Borderlands. Im glad that they went with the Cage the Elephant intro. This intro would be better if Borderlands was more serious.
In my honest opinion, I loved this intro so much more. Not saying the other was bad, but this one to me just showed the wide open lands of Borderlands, kind of made me want to explore, pulled me in. I really think it should've aired.
still one of my favorite videos. makes me want to just walk out into the wastes and explore

This is more like a TGS or E3 trailer. Still looks awesome though.
