Gearbox’s Borderlands 2 is looking to be one hell of a game, so much so that they just released an all-new trailer to remind us why we all should be buying this drool worthy game.
Meet Sir Hammerlock, the augmented scholar, hunter and of course Gentleman. Hammerlock serves as our chirpy guide through this near 7-minute trailer that gives us all the information that we need to know when stepping foot into the world of Pandora. It is obvious that Borderlands 2 isn’t letting up on the smile inducing humour that plagued the entirety of the original game and our rather British host lets us get to know our future playable characters with constant charm and gentlemanship.
The trailer consists of a number of ‘Need-to-Know’ tips on each of the four playable characters and their abilities. All new abilities are brought to light like the Commando’s ability to dispatch a nuclear explosion through the use of his deadly multi-cannon turret. We also learn that the new Siren class comes with the added buff of dishing out multiple forms of elemental damage to surrounding enemies when wielding her ‘Phase lock’ ability.
Not only that, but it seems that Gearbox Software has been listening very closely to its fan base and finally brought proper split screen multiplayer to the masses. Now we can look forward to cracking open some beers with our loved ones with two player split screen action, which can even be taken into the online space and played with your friends across the globe!
With all these awesomeness headed our way I think it is safe to say that Gearbox Software just needs to “SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY!”
