New GameSpot Borderlands Video Interview

Promoting this to the front page. Some quick observations.

1. GameSpot's background music is annoying.

2. Each character has three seperate skill trees that the player can choose to follow. Roland can be a medic, a basic soldier, or some another unnamed specialty. (Around 2:40 in the video.)

3. Mikey's glasses look expensive.

Holy crap this game looks awesome

i can barely hear some of the stuff he says :(

"Flaming Skag, fuck yeah!"

Love the driving too.

it just keeps getting better. im really excited that we're seeing a lot more gameplay and interviews but now im just dying for a video like the E3 2008 one, completly uninterupted with a good amount of solid gameplay.

do any of you guys know if that was the actual music to the game cause its sick. i think that techno vibe would be great for it

lol brick looks too big for that dune buggy

Very nice video, can't wait for this game!

One thing that bugged me was the scope on the pistol; the the fact that it was circular when the housing was square was livable with but i found the rotating ring offputting. I know that the game will have tens if not hundreds of different scopes, probably different sets for different weapon classes, but what do you do if you find an amazing gun, it looks great, has a useful effect and does tons of damage etc. but whenever you aim at something you get huge crosshairs and a little animation around the edge of the screen.

Sorry about the mini-rant and i'm sure i'll grow to really like all aspects of the guns. I think this is brought on by having finished exams a few days ago and it being very late at night right now.

As a final note, I wholeheartedly agree with orange that an e3 08-esque vid with the new art style would be amazing! Though we probably won't get anything new now for a few weeks at least...

-EDIT on second thoughts, and having rewatched the video, half of what i just wrote is complete bs... I'll leave it up there if ppl wanna read but I think i've already changed my mind about the scopes.

Did anyone else catch the whole bit about grenades? Grenades that sap health, grenades that spawn grenades, grenades that turn into other grenades, holy crap. Grenades that spawn ammo anyone?

 Mikey Neuman was also interviewed in a gamespot AU piece called 'Crosshairs' the Borderlands section starts around 15:50 and ends at 23:30ish. No new info but a nice little segment nonetheless.

That SMG looks like it has a poison effect.

Small acid green canister on the barrel of the gun, green muzzel flash, I'd say your right. Very good gun. Think it might be a TMP though, its a bit too compact to be a SMG.
