Weapons According to Gearbox, there will be over 17,000,000 different weapon combinations. The game uses a procedural process, called Gearbot, to generate its various guns in certain classes, but with many variations of firing speed, reload speed, and more. Thankfully, there is an easy way to determine the basics of a weapon without having to pick it up and open an inventory screen. When you approach a weapon on the ground, a small holographic window appears above it that displays information such as weapon type (shotgun, assault rifle, sniper rifle, etc.), damage type (static, incendiary, caustic, etc.), monetary value, as well as the weapon's rarity using a color coding system. read more...

Borderlands is an upcoming science fiction first-person shooter with RPG elements that is currently in development by Gearbox Software for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This game is the first in a planned franchise and is scheduled to release on October 20, 2009.

Gameplay
Borderlands will feature four player cooperative play, along with other single-player and multiplayer modes. In addition, players have access to customizable vehicles for "vehicular combat" and will also be able to customize their character. Deceased enemies will drop their equipment, which is available for you to pick up.

Randomization
The game will also have a unique feature similar to Diablo's random level generation system. This new system will generate more than 1,000,000 different guns as well as at least 500,000 different item and armor variations, according to the preview of the game in Game Informer magazine.

The features of the maps will also be randomly generated. While towns, and the general paths connecting them will remain the same, Borderlands features a system that randomly instances the surrounding landscape, with randomly placed things such as bunkers, towers, caves, enemies, and exploding cacti. All of this is done without a loading screen. Gearbox plans that the player will not see a loading screen after they boot up the game. read more...
