Borderlands 2

^ Absolutely!!
Btw, who do you think the guy in the poster is?
a new major boss, or new playable character?

Playable character for sure. I hope there is a good replacement for Siren. I'm assuming the guy from the art-work is the one replacing Brick from the first game.

First details about the game revealed:

- Co-op will probably be 4 players
- Vehicles will have variety
- One vehicle: Bandit Technical
- One vehicle will have four seats
- Eridium – enhance weapons
- Eridium is a form of currency
- Salvador: Gunzerker, can dual-wield with any weapon
- Vault Hunters from the first game will be NPCs
- Bandits can access their own type of weaponry
- Unique styling, color, personality for each manufacturer
- Custom decals/enhancements for weapons
- More responsive enemies, more varied, better AI, improvement so that they interact with each other better
- NPCs will also be improved, will move around more
- Interacting dialogue for players
- Skill tree will be similar to the first game (3 branch system)
- Claptrap seems to be returning
- Apparently there won’t be any old weapons
- Story missions won’t be static
- Some pickups will provide temporary buffs

Thanks for the info Ethan. Waiting for this game. Whats the release date ???

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

No specific date has been provided Anand. Though they have tentatively mentioned (and I quote):

The release is scheduled for fiscal year 2013 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, the period beginning from April 1st 2012.

So we still have a long way to go.

Thanks for the info Ethan.

 

[gameranand]

Oh boy thats a long long way to go. About 1.5 years if they release in 2013 and we survive 2012.

anyone for borderlands co-op.i didnt liked its single player campaign.

i only played till i got level 4 rank.Then got bored and quit.

 

[varunb]

I wont mind giving you company or anyone here. It took me a lot of time & effort to level up to rank 69.

 

[Alok]

Ok got first borderlands will try after 4-5 days.

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

Guys feel free to use the first game's thread for further discussions.

 

[sameer.pur]

I think Ethan will take up the 'Salvador: Gunzerker' for Co-op...
I will wait for other classes.

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

I *might* pick some other class this time.

I wish they would have retained the earlier characters. Having played it 3 times now, I had got accustomed to their comments. But I'm glad at least Claptrap's coming back.

 

[sameer.pur]

Well, I'll definitely go for class that is most similar to Siren..

The guy in the poster looks like Brick with a beard.

[Skud]

Looks better than the first one.

 

[gameranand]

Now its nearly confirmed that that guy is a playable character and not a boss.

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

He IS a playable character and his name is Salvador.
