DAY ONE PRE-ORDER FOR ME!!!!!!! Looks AWESOME

still no competitive multiplayer though

 

[magman3]

This game will be EPIC!!! The first Borderlands is in my top 3 favorite games ever. This one looks like it will not disappoint!

 

[Jen]

Looking forward to getting this. 1 was so much fun for me. I wish they had some of the same characters though. In 1 was the guy with the hawk - and he was so bad ass.

 

[Matt S]

Looks awesome. Loved the first, and 2nd looks like a lot of updating....can't wait. Best game franchise in years, IMO

Amazon is offering a $10 credit toward a future purchase........bye bye Gamestop - no same date guarantee yet, though. May change close to release date

The "Hunter", Mordeci! That's who I played as.

You can see in the trailer they are returning, but as NPCs this time.

Meet the Gunzerker: Salvador



Meet the Siren: Maya



Meet the Commando: Axton



Meet the Assassin: Zer0

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Probably play as Salvador first, he looks badass

 

[Jen]

I imagine I'll probably be the Commando...or the Assassin.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Yeah the assassin looks great, i'm a sucker for a high-tech Ninja slicing & dicing amongst 790° flips & jump

Anymore info been released on this yet?

Just got the GOTY version of the first game about a month or so ago. Played as Roland and got him up to level 69, but I didn't quite complete all the quests. Accidentaly glitched the armory while looting it without the time limit and can't finish it now.

Crawmerax was a SOB.

Ah well. Pumped for BL2.

5th Class as Free DLC

Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford announced at PAX East today that the company's shoot-and-loot RPG Borderlands 2 will (almost definitely) have a fifth playable class, eventually.

It's called the Mechromancer. It's a young cyborg girl that can, apparently, control mechanized units including the D374-TP — AKA "Deathtrap." Pitchford said that the Mechromancer is at this stage of development a "new idea."

"It's a concept right now," Pitchford explained at today's Gearbox panel. "It doesn't exist yet." He showed drawings of a young, redheaded girl with pigtails and goggles. One of her arms was mechanical. Her companion Deathrap looked vaguely like a cross between the Claptrap mascot and a T-800 Terminator, patched together from various robot parts.

Pitchford says the Borderlands 2 team is committed to adding the Mechromancer to the game after the core game is finished. The class will be "post-launch DLC," hitting about two months or so after the game's launch in September.

"We're going to give it to you for free," he later added.

Gearbox also detailed the game's character customization, which features a color and decal editing system, unique and Weapons Manufacturer-specific skins and rare, collectible decorative heads that players can apply to their class of choice. Players of the original Borderlands will receive a unique head and skin for each class as a bonus.

Sweet :yess aesthetic character customization was sorely lacking in BL 1

 

[Sachiel]

Rather than a stock assortment of gear and costumes, players will have to earn their new wardrobes.

New gear, costume pieces, and even custom heads can be acquired by completing missions and challenges, as well as ranking up. In addition, players of the original Borderlands will immediately be rewarded with an exclusive head and skin.

The Mechromancer is yet to be developed, and will be made available as post-launch DLC. This female character seems to be a mix of human and machine, and can control a large robot known as D374-TP (Deathtrap). The character will be made available for free to those that pre-order the game. There is no ETA or pricing available for the Mechromancer yet, but Randy Pitchford said he hopes to price it at a level "comparable to most DLC."

Also announced was a special edition of the game that will retail for $149.99, and comes packaged in a loot box from the game. You can see the package, which includes a Marcus bobblehead and a copy of the game, below.

There will be two tiers of special editions. The "Deluxe Vault Hunters Edition" at $99, gets a Marcus Kincaid bobble head. He's the weapons supplier with the lothario accent who narrates the first game. The second, an "Ultimate Loot Chest Edition" (pictured above) delivers you a stylized Borderlands loot chest with all the goodies packed inside. It doesn't open up with hydraulics—it's more like a jewelry box, but it matches a community suggestion as best it could. More goodies and premiums in both editions will be announced later.

Not too long ago, we announced the September 18 release date for Borderlands 2 as well as the Premiere Club, which includes a set of bonus items available to people who pre-order the game. Today, we wanted to let you know that if you pre-order Borderlands 2 from GameStop, you’ll also gain exclusive access to the Creature Slaughter Dome, where you can face off against the toughest monsters Pandora has to offer. As an added bonus to this bonus content, the Creature Slaughter Dome also includes Moxxi’s Rocket Launcher. What’s more, the experience and gear gained in this arena will carry over to the main game!

The Ultimate Loot Chest version looks kinda cool, but I can't imagine I'm going to drop $150 on it. I'll wait to see what comes with it aside from the bobblehead. At this point, the standard $60 version is where my money is headed.

5th character class as DLC for free? That sounds pretty awesome. D374-TP looks mean.

But that's a bummer about Gamestop-exclusive pre-order content. Gamestop is pretty much the last place I want to pre-order this game.

Got my P.O in

Man, this game is going to be so much fun. I loved the first one and this one is looking to be a nice step up in every way.
