Anyone else keeping an eye on this? After the Rock Paper Shotgun coverage I've broken down and pre-ordered it (possibly not a good idea given that it'll probably get lost in the postal strike now). Although I do love CoD4 this looks like being at the complete other end of the scale - open worlds and randomness rather than heavily scripted corridor based rat runs.
he quickly spawns a few hundred guns, which fall out of the sky like confetti; he moves among them, pointing out different manufacturer trademarks, design features and ammunition types, explaining how each will affect the weapon's spread, accuracy, reload times and general ease of use. It's unexpectedly intuitive.
Also, it's funny watching all the hate from the l33t-kiddies about how it looks like "kiddy crap" just because it's not done in Gears Of War manly testosterone soaked homoeroticism.
Diablo-with-guns gets me interested. How well it will work is another matter. Some previews said was dull - until they nabbed a Really Spiffy Gun. (e.g. a incendary pistol)
I can't believe there's no one here looking forward to this.
Anyway, the review embargo seems to have been lifted so there's a bunch appearing now, currently getting 87% from metacritic at the moment. The RPS talk-o-thon is pretty interesting as there seems to be a wide variety of what's liked/disliked, but all enjoying it regardless.
Just in the past week this game has bypassed my scepticism circuits and I am now utterly hyped about it! I had a good feeling about, but was dubious. However, recent previews and now the reviews have sold it to me already. Oh yes. I'm 360 version bound, lads!
Factory's no place for me, boss man leave me be.

I'm interested, but with Uncharted2 and Demon's Souls both having just arrived and Dragon Age hitting in a couple of weeks it just wouldn't get a look in.
Something I might look at in the new year I suspect.

I suspect a lot of people feel the same. I know I do.
It's that crazy time of the year again when even good looking titles get completely lost because there are already more great games than most people can play. Hardly a new phenomenon though eh? The games industry certainly doesn't help itself at times.
I dunno about that, there are an *awful* lot of big titles that have had their release dates shoved out of the holiday period and into the spring this year. Just off the top of my head there's Bayonetta, Lost Planet 2, Bioshock 2 and Alpha Protocol. And there's way more than that.
The rush of games actually dries up pretty soon after Dragon Age this year, not too many titles down for December.
I started playing this last night. I'm actually kind of liking it. I hadn't really been much interested in it, but it's quite surprised me. If anyone gets the PS3 version I would like to try out the co-op.
I've got mine pre-ordered on Steam. However, Demon's Souls still has me; not even Uncharted 2 could tear me completely away from it.
I started Uncharted 2 late on Saturday night, went to bed at 2am, then finished it on Sunday by probably 6pm. Then it was straight back to Demon's Souls.
Even Brutal Legend with its metal charm can't tear me away.
I'm interested in Borderlands from what I've seen so far, as I really like 'loot' games, so having an FPS twist on this sounds interesting to me. Also I like the art style from the videos I've seen.
However, I've just got Brutal Legend, and Forza 3 has just been put in the post, so I won't get Borderlands until some time later.

Yeah loads have been delayed until next year but there is rarely anything released as late as December anyway.
In November though there are way more good games being released on the PS3 and 360 than I could ever play and that's without seeing what's coming up on the Wii.
