Borderlands 2 launch trailer features guns, guns, guns

Borderlands 2 is out tomorrow in the States, and across Europe from Friday. It’s big, full of boom and has a lot of guns. 2K Games and Gearbox Software have unveiled the game’s official launch trailer, showing the Vault Hunters throwing down in violent fashion. See it here.

Seeing all 8 Vault Hunters lined up like that was pretty badass.

Is it too late to squeeze in 8 player co-op?

Even though i think this game is probably going to be good, i can’t help but not feel too excited about it. Borderlands 1 was a borefest.

i think so maybe for next time but that would be Aw-bloody-some. BTW i am so excited for this my head just exploded. @2 if you thought 1 was boring what were you doing?

Can you get skins of the original characters? I know they’re in the game as NPCs, but it would be awesome to get skins of them!

Really enjoying the original atm (thanks to PS+). It’s very moreish. Though I must say the sequel doesn’t really look like they’ve changed much (if anything!?).

@7

Lots of stuff but its still what made the original so good. Read the reviews or watch gameplay footage.

I am really hoping they HAVE improved the SP. PLaying Borderlands on my own, was dull.

@3: Playing it, with friends, we all thought it got boring rather fast.

@6: Far as i know, you need to have Borderlands 1 to get the skins of the previous characters.

Does anyone know if you can unlock a game on Steam using Hamachi and an American connection? I want to play this so fucking bad, and I don’t have a VPN handy :P

Still, that was the worst trailer they’ve done yet. Not very wubwub.

I hope, that the enemies dont level up like the main character. In darksiders 2 it was horrible!

@14

Its similar to the original game. The enemies do cales based on the host of the game but they change based on the rank of the enemy.

@6 as far as i can make out you cant get skins of the original cast but you will get bonus skins for having saves from borderlands 1.

@young zero then 2 is most certainly not for you.

@14 as with 1 some enemies will scale and lvl with the player some will be almost fixed lvl and in this game some will lvl all by themselves

@1 Well, since they’ve confirmed that they will be adding characters to this game… while we may not be getting 8 player co-op, we might get the original 4 added as actual characters for one of the DLC.

@11 Were exactly did you hear that you can get the original 4 as skins, cause I have heard nothing about it.

If you have an old Borderlands save on your computer, you unlock skins for the new characters.

I haven’t heard anything about playing the old ones until this video, and I don’t really see how they’d do it without a major upgrade.

Their abilities aren’t as interesting, and a lot of their talents are incorporated into the new trees.

I thought part 1 had mediocre shooting, and picking up individual pieces of ammo on the ground was extremely monotonous (they fixed that in 2).

I’ll be awaiting reviews, videos and whatnot, but I definitely want to get my hands on it before making a purchase.
