2K Confirms Borderlands for E3
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 6:00 PM on July 3, 2008
2K Games has confirmed what games it'll be showing at this year's E3. The tiles include:
• BioShock (PS3)
• Borderlands (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
• NBA 2K9 (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360)
• NHL 2K9 (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)
• Sid Meier's Civilisation IV: Colonization (PC)
Late last year I had a check to check out Gearbox developed Borderlands, and that game in particular looked impressive. Damn impressive.

I wanna see what the new features in BioShock PS3 are. Especially the apparent new Big Daddies. I'll play through it again at a buddy's house.

@Nexus6:
Which one? Fallout 3 or Borderlands? I actually know next to nothing about Borderlands except that the action in it seems to be really tense and over-the-top. Kinda Mad Max-y in a way. But other games are on my radar at the moment, so I haven't been following it much.
Fallout 3 is just post-apocalyptic Oblivion with guns, which means I'm probably better off skipping it so I don't have to end up writing some extended, bile-filled rant about how much it disappointed me. I'm not Yahtzee, after all...

All I care about is colonization. The urge to send my wagon trains to the local Indian village grows strong!

@Nexus6:
I can agree with you there. I have literally no hype at all for Oblivion With Guns.
The crazy over the top action in Borderlands looks INTERESTING, although I'm not sure if it's a buy for me. Shooters...meh. Give me a badass melee weapon and I might change my mind.

@Archaotic: I'm definately sold on Borderlands. More so than Fallout 3.

Not sold on Borderlands yet, but it'll be nice to see what new features (aside from trophy support) Bioshock PS3 has coming this holiday season.
If it's good enough, I might just be killing me some Big Daddies all over again.

Well, soon we will know a hell of alot more once E3 has been and gone. Then we can make a more objective decision on what to buy.
I loved Bioshock but don't own the game myself so I think I might just pick it up this time.
Borderlands, I am actually quite excited about this game, I hope it turns out great.

I loved the trailer for Borderlands that was released on PSN. Looked really great. If they're not launching against Fallout, which they hopefully won't, I'm very interested.

From what i understand Borderlands is a RPFPS, and there is half a million guns in-game or sumthing...
Looks pretty promising.

@Archaotic: I forgot to clarify. I was refering to Borderlands.
@The_nub_next_door: As far as RPFPS's go I'm hoping Borderlands turns out to be on par with the original Deus Ex. I'm allowed to dream aren't I ?

Borderlands looks cool, and as for BioShock: damn that game looks amazing, if only there was some way to play it before E3. . . .if only.

Ahhhhh, totally forgot about Bioshock PS3. Pumped. The hell is Borderlands, though? =\ I feel like I'm missing something, here.
