Borderlands trailer

Four-player co-op, thousands of combinations of guns, full customization of vehicles and a level randomization system; these are just four excellent points that got my attention about Gearbox Software's upcoming sci-fi/FPS/RPG Borderlands. The game is basically a mix of Mad Max and Diablo with guns. Unfortunately, Borderlands is coming out fall 2008 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, so we have some waiting to do. In the meantime, here's the debut trailer:

That voice actor was awful, I mean, really really cheesy sounding! This is Gearbox right? Surely they have enough money to hire someone that can actually bloody act!

To be honest I think the dialog was a bit too cliche for all but the best actors to pull off. Hopefully thats just for the early "sum everything up quickly" trailer and not an actual cut scene.

Pope, before i read what you said, thats EXACTLY what i was thinking. Its gotta be a quick some up and sell video you know?

Voice acting sucked.

While looking very good, I have to agree with everyone else...hire some halfway decent voice actors. I know they exist. And really before you release ANYTHING, you wanna make sure it's good right? I guess Gearbox is living by a different strategy.
