Those sure are character designs.

    I still like the cel shade. It’s engrained in the franchise at this point. I was more confused the opening cinematic wasn’t cel shaded.

      Generally, I like cel shading. I think it’s maybe the issue I have is more related to artistic choices; a lot of the designs are very chunky and low-detail. It still looks very distinctly, unmistakably like Borderlands, but it doesn’t look like there’s been any significant improvement since BL1. If you told me this was a DLC pack for the original 2009 game, I’d probably believe it.

      The newer visuals in the cinematic had me thinking that maybe Gearbox is trying to do a soft reboot after how poorly the movie was received.

        I can see that. Maybe if I look at a side by side of 1 vs 4 I would see a difference but you’re right. It hasn’t changed enough to be noticable
