Pachter: Borderlands Sent to Die [16]
Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities, famed video-game industry analyst, predicts a bleak future for 2K & Gearbox’s baby “Borderlands”: on yesterday’s episode of the Bonus Round, the ‘Pac-Man’ had some harsh words for the innovative roleplaying shooter hybrid:
Sent to die. I think “Borderlands” is the definition of a game that should have had it’s own window and not be up against all this stuff. It’s absolutely the same audience. I don’t think it’s as much an RPG as they would like us to believe. If it’s an RPG, “Dragon Age” is going to kick its butt; and if it’s a shooter, “Call of Duty” or something else is going to kick its butt.
Looks like Randy Pitchford is in for a couple of sleepless nights before October’s NPDs hit… in November. We’re not analysts here at wearetheinternetz, but we love what we played so far, not unconditionally, mind you, it’s not like we’re its parents. Expect our review tomorrow!
Borderlands DLC announced: Zombies! [1]
2K just announced the “first of many” DLC packs for “Borderlands”. The first one is titled “The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned”. The game isn’t even out yet, guys!
Tasked with keeping the workers of Jakobs Cove alive, Dr. Ned (who is not related to Dr. Zed from Fyrestone) does his job a little too well, creating zombies and other abominations that now run rampant in this region. Players will have to work alongside Dr. Ned as they embark on a quest to cure the inhabitants of Jakobs Cove in this full-fledged expansion filled with new enemies, new quests and rare loot drops.
The expansion will be released later this year and will run you 800 Microsoft Points / $9,99.
Giantbomb quicklooks Borderlands [Comments Off]
If you’re still not sold on “Borderlands” — it’s coming out next week! — GiantBomb has posted a 4 player co-op gameplay video clocking in at about 32 minutes. Not quite a “quick” look, but it definitely helps getting a better feel for the game.
Bazillion guns are go after the break.

Borderlands is done [Comments Off]
Word just hit the streets, and by streets we mean the Gearbox Forums, that “Borderlands” has finally gone gold. That leaves them 10 days to manufacture and ship copies throughout the world. Last second save, much?

Get 10 Percent off Borderlands on Steam [Comments Off]
If you are planning to get “Borderlands” on the PC, it might be time to evaluate your options, as Steam will give you a 10% discount if you pre-order the game through Valve’s digital distribution service, which brings down the price to a measly $44,99 (€44,99, don’t shoot the messenger).
There, I just saved you 5 bucks. You owe me lunch.
Borderlands: Claptrap Part 2 [Comments Off]
Before Seth takes over the nightshift, I leave you with this hot-out-of-the-oven clip from “Borderlands”. It features fan-favorite robot claptrap trying way too hard to be funny, screaming a lot and just being generally obnoxious. Might be entertaining in short bursts, but dedicating an entire series of videos to the guy? Oh, well, who am I to judge, I can’t even write a coherent blog-entry.
Game’s still awesome, out next month. Hit the break for the video.

Borderlands cast introduces themselves [Comments Off]
Since “Borderlands” is a class based game, you will have to make some tough choices before you get to mow down weird monster things. To facilitate the process, Gearbox has released a new trailer to the game where in lieu of a semi-funny robot we get an overview of the playable characters.
So, in best “Tatsunoko vs. Capcom” tradition, it is time to SERRECT A YOUR HERROOO!
ESRB <3 Borderlands, new Trailer [Comments Off]
There is no doubt about it, “Borderlands” is a frickin’ riot. Going by the ESRB description unearthed by Destructoid sounds like the best time anyone could ever have. Take a look:
Rating summary: This is a sci-fi first-person shooter in which players assume the roles of mercenary treasure hunters on a mission to the fictional planet of Pandora. Players undertake missions/quests that increase characters’ skills, eliminate an assortment of mutant creatures, and drive and collide with advanced alien vehicles. Players kill hundreds of enemies (e.g., human bandits and mercenary soldiers) over the course of the game by using a wide variety of guns (shotguns, sniper rifles), explosives, and special ammo types (fire, acid and electricity, etc.). The combat is frenetic, and enemies moan or scream when they are hit. Damage from weapons also results in large spurts of blood, dismemberment, and decapitation. When a human or creature is decapitated, an effect resembling a fountain of blood will shoot from the neck for a few seconds and stop. Some weapons cause enemies to split in half, the top being separated from the waist. During the course of the game, characters make jokes about streaking, body parts, rape, and mothers (e.g., “…more busted than my momma’s girly parts”). Strong profanity (e.g., “f*cking,” “sh*t,” “p*ssy,” and “d*ckbag”) can be heard in the dialogue.
Oh, man. I guess it’s safe to say you should probably lock away your children when you whip this one out. Or just go back in time and never make them.
Do you consider Christian Bale’s breakdown a trailer for “Terminator Salvation”? Yes? Well, that’s … weird! Here’s a Borderlands trailer then! CONTINUED →
