XBLA...explains it all. So now the Borderlands look is being applied to this type of game? Doesn't work IMO.

MPS and Atari logos...who bought them now?

Magnum - this is why these games get made sigh

The short story is Hasbro Interactive bought Atari and renamed them Infogrames. Spectrum Holobyte bought MicroProse and then Infogrames bought Spectrum Holobyte. Somewhere in there Atari/Infogrames renamed itself back to Atari and then sold the MicroProse brand to Interactive Game Group. As you can imagine, there's still plenty of confusion as to who's who and who owns what!

Borderlands wasn't first, I remember a game called XIII that had the cell shaded look first.

I don't think Jedi was saying Borderlands was first, AND, XIII was not the first cell-shaded game:

Totally ironic, because it doesn't look like it brings anything even remotely new to the table

Special forces? You know, we had this guy in school...ya know he was mostly staring out of the window and salviating onto the table. The teacher told us also that he was "special".

The point was Borderlands was the first very successful cel-shaded game, and it appears that some unimaginative execs are thinking that emulating that will be a positive for their game.

It works for BL because BL is not attempting realism at all. Likewise TF2 has a cartoon-vibe that works because it is not realistic either.

I don't think this will work because they seem to be going for a certain realistic look and then the cel-shading is working at cross purposes to that.

I think the Batman games that came out in recent years might have done well with that look, for example. But no CoD/MoH/BF wannabe game is going to.

When a game has to use quotes from Youtubers to promote their product, you know you should run the other way.


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

Okay, i admit i played some rounds with the trial (40 miutes of unrestricted gameplay) version on the xbox and it was better than i thought!
I seriously consider forking out the 1200 points to get it!

Don't do it. Don't perpetuate the system!
