Title: Borderlands - RPS?
Post by: KillSlim on 15-08-2009
RPS - 'Roleplaying Shooter'. I believe it's already been made, and it takes the form of the Stalker games, although stalker has no leveling system and doesn't look as crazily epic as this new game.

This game actually looks good, looks like it has elements of an MMORPG and an FPS.

Looks good, i just hope they can pull it off with plenty of features, i like in depth RPG games and FPS games, if its got depth, it may be going somewhere.

I've watched an IGN review, and this game is highly regarded.
It has everything a good MMO has: Crazy Enemies, quests / missions, special items, character classes etc.
And everything a good FPS has; but they're both combined, like when you shoot an enemy you see the damage inflicted pop up like in any MMO.
Also, as mentioned in the video "87 Bazillion guns"; there are tonnes of types of ammo. Some do more or less damage, higher or lower magazine capacity, some take different ammunition types and some do different damage types; so in any good MMO certain damage types are effective against certain enemies.

There's nice big wastelands to roam too.

I think it has a lot going for it, I'm not terribly sure if 'Depth' is there yet, the game is still in early stages. But still it looks very promising and it looks like something completely new.

It's not an MMO, There is a maximum of four players at a time in any given server each player carrying over all skills and items.

It has elements of an MMO. Of-course it's not an MMO with a 4-player co-op.

Makes no sense.
Anyway, back on-track. This game looks like it will be really cool, and just so you know the graphics aren't what the trailer shows. I think it's better this way, as it steps aside from the realistic graphics we have all become used to demanding.
TF2 stepped aside from 'realistic' graphics, and look how popular and successful it became, because it was something new and something we've never seen before.

Yeah, but I think they could have started off with cel shading because they've had to push back the release date back more.

I've been following it because of it's diablo like weapon system. So far there are two million weapons.

I've been very excited for this since PC Gamer announced it last year. I cannot wait.


..Of course it will probably be a crappily ported console kiddie game. Which makes me sad. Fucking console-kiddies.

Me and my brother have been trying to keep up to date with this games progress since we saw it in the IGN magazine. Personally I think the Cartoonish graphics they used to make the People and creatures and crap was a good idea. It gives it that cool Slick look thing.

Oh and also , That magnum made my day :D

I like that because it's original. As Yahtzee (the guy from Zero Punctuation reviews) always says, "Games these days are all working off the same pallet of dystopian gray or apocalypse brown". It's good to something different.
