Borderlands 2

THE BUZZ: Some brand new details have appeared online regarding Borderlands 2. The new details are taken from the playable demo that was available at PAX last weekend.

Here’s the info that came out:

• It was the PC version running on Nvidia hardware
• Similar AA to the first game (aliased black lines)
• Significant NPCs have clever intro videos like in B1
• Basically the exact same UI but it now has a mini-map
• Some enemies can throw environmental objects at you
• Tediore weapons allow you to throw guns/mags as grenades
• ‘Bandit’ is a new weapon manufacturer with very large mags
• Torque guns all have exploding bullets that are somewhat slow
• Vladorf guns all have rotating barrels with high rates of fire
• Psychos will now dodge and they can be tactically wounded
• Maya replaces Lilith as the Siren character, can phasewalk
• Kamikaze robots act like zombies (eg, crawl if legs missing)
• Gunzerker class cannot zoom while dual-wielding weapons
• Can still equip four weapons and they are paired for DWing

EGM’s TAKE: Gearbox has made a lot of improvements in Borderlands 2 from what has been shown so far however only time we tell if the sequel can deliver.
