Welcome to Borderlands.

Busted open in this months GI, this game sounds amazing. MILLIONS of guns, cars, vehicle, 4 player co-op, vehicles, questing, what more could you want?

"There are over a half of a million different guns in Borderlands. That seemed to be the main selling point in this first public showing of Gearbox Software's next original IP. Of course, guns aren't the only thing Borderlands has to offer. It's also a four player, co-operative sci-fi shooter with a hefty dose of RPG elements and a bit of Diablo inspiration thrown in for good measure. It also has over 500,000 guns.
Gearbox has been working on Borderlands for roughly 20 months, but the team still has another 15-18 months to go before we'll see the game on store shelves. As such, the early build only showcased a few select areas, story segments, and guided gameplay. The demo was only about a half of an hour long, but it gave a great impression of the direction the team is taking with the game.
Borderlands takes place on the frontiers of humanity. It's a bit like the Wild West, except this is the future and man has colonized numerous planets. The fringe settlements are a bit unruly and untamed, making them a natural sci-fi videogame setting. These borderland planets are colonized by huge, one way ships that simply slam into the target planet. Once everyone debarks, the colony ship folds out to become the walls of the town. Nifty, eh? The town we saw in the demo went by the name of New Haven, though the idea of it being a haven of any sort is a stretch.
The colonists arrived in the winter on this planet. It's a tilted axis sphere, so the seasonal changes in weather are the same as they are on earth. However, the planet is also massive and slow orbiting which make the days and years much longer than we're used to. As such, the winter thaw was a long time coming. But when it came it brought trouble. Animals that were previously in hibernation are now out on the prowl, restless colonists ditched the town to become marauding bandits and things are generally not looking too hot. Enter you, the main character. Described as one part Mad Max and the other Indiana Jones, this Harrison Gibson wannabe has a lot to live up to."
More to come...

Hell yes.
These people are totally awesome.
Anybody remember Redline? Man I hated that game.
Not that I don't think Rage won't be a better game, but still.
And yes, this game sounds awesome.
Also, a million guns seems like more of a hassle than a feature.
Seriously, who wants to try a million weapons to find one they like.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
500,000+ guns, though, that is just nuts.
Yeah, fuck. That thing is more or less a moving fortress.
...A PC release.
Damn, I think I need a 360.

Also, I hope they release a video of the Hive in action.
Oh.
OOOOH.
I am happy then. Very happy.

Seriously though, 4 player co-op makes it the best thing. The number of more-than-two player co-op games really needs to go up dramatically. I can't keep leaving out one of my roommates.
omfg I can just imagine a huge firefight all over that thing over control of it, while small buggies zip around the behemoth like flies, pestering it with fire.
sweet.
holy shit it looks awesome.
My pants are not nearly wide enough to hold in my excitement for this game.
Also that massive truck thing is crazy!
No, combinations. Just like there are 40 million weapons in Diablo 2 doesn't mean that there are 40 million types of swords.
Having a million guns basically means you'll probably never find the same exact gun twice, so you have to go on a case by case basis to determine if you should keep a gun or throw it away when you find them.
