Trailers: Borderlands 2 Teaser

[mexicola]

OMG teaser trailer didn't contain in-depth representation of actual gameplay. I'm calling it now: worst game ever!

That told me absolutely nothing about the game, unless its going to allow you to dual wield assault rifles, which would be ridiculous. I hate trailers like these.

That's why it's called a teaser, not a trailer

OT: Cannot wait. Borderlands, while it had its flaws, was a great shooter with a remarkably impressive DLC lineup that added a hell of a lot with each small purchase. Much more than four multiplayer maps and a zombies map for twice the price. Hopefully this one solves its predecessor's issues.

The teaser could show a duck taking a shit for all I care - I was resigned to buying the game the moment they named it "Borderlands 2".

That told me nothing about the game. >:C

At least it was a real teaser that showed off characters, art design, monsters, weapons and not 30 seconds to a minute of black screen, stupid sound effects and music, then just a a title smashed on the screen. I really hate teasers that do that.

Fair enough I used the wrong word. It teased pretty much nothing.

Well, that certainly was a waste of my time.

The first Borderlands was pretty terrible, and instead of showing how this game could be, ya know, better. They don't.

They tease at varied areas in the game, god only knows if they'll deliver or if we'll be stuck in deserted wasteland again. Will the level design be good this time, instead of having a sparse ammount of enemies in a small cluster on a huge linear map, or is it going to be the same formula - get in the car until you run into enemies/objectives.

Are the menus gonna suck ass again? Will spec actually mean anything for any class other than the sniper? Will content be balanced so certain classes aren't useless and other classes can do whatever the hell they damn well please (looking at you again sniper)?

Thats why I hate teaser trailers. They're just a waste of time and money, used to hype up people who are going to buy your product anyways. They didn't show how they plan to build on the first game, they didn't show off any new unique features (Duel Weilding has been done before. Alot of times before). It just went "Oooh shiny" so fanboys could wet themselves over it.

Taken straight from Square Enix's practices I see. This one will definately be skip for me then.

As a teaser it did for me what it needed to. I now know not to expect it next year(although a little bit more precise indication would have made me more happy) and it showed off a bit of that new guy, who I'm not crazy about but certainly am intrigued by. One more good trailer and I'll gladly consider this a must have next year when it is released.

That told me nothing about the game. >:C

Hence why it is only a teaser trailer

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

It's not like they haven't told us a lot about it yet, there are dozens of articles, look them up.

 

[Slangeveld]

That looked like that Brick dude from the first, but then with hair and beard. o.0

Anyone hoping for a 9 slot gun inventory? still that dual wield shit is sweet!!

First off, you answered your own question in regards as to why there isn't really much information in a fucking teaser trailer. Secondly:

According to Randy, yes, they are fixing the menus. As far as classes go, Salvador (The guy in the teaser) is basically the Berserker from BL1 but with Dual-Wielding as part of his action skill. So rather than balance the classes in a boring way, I'm guessing all of the classes will be horrendously over-powered in their own unique way. And the skill tree won't rely on stat changes as much as the first game.
