Some of the first screenshots that in my opinion proudly show the new art direction for the next project from Gearbox, the coders of "Brothers in Arms", a WWII shooter for the PS3, Xbox360 and pc platforms.
When this game of first announced its graphics showed that it would most likely be your average run-of-the-mill first person shooter and most people didn't really care much about it given the fact that there are many admittedly fabulous games competing for the gamers' attention already: Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Killzone 2 and many others do come to mind.
This radical and most welcome change in its visual style however is just what the doctor ordered and many favourable comments in various forums reflect that.
The art style chosen for Borderlands looks very similar with the one that was chosen for two games in the past.
One is Crackdown by Realtime Worlds:
The other is the newest Prince of Persia by Ubisoft:
As seems to be my usual mantra I hope that the game plays as well as it looks - and hopefully there's going to be some gameplay videos to satisfy that wish.
