    It's a MOBA game.

    Doesn't have borderlands in the name, so recent history says it'll suck.

    Found borderlands series to be very boring so by default I am not looking forward to this

    Just realized they're also making both the new and the collection of Homeworld, so hopefully I'm wrong and Duke Nuke & Aliens were terrible flukes.

    Emmmm, Trailer looked cool and I was very sceptical before watching it. So ill ask here. Where there is so much hate for it? Or thats colonial Marines still biting Gearbox in the arse?

    Combination of Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem, I think.

    I'd say another bit of criticism it's likely getting is that so far it seems fairly similar to Borderlands. Obviously there's not a lot to go on yet, but add some cel-shading to that trailer and tell me it's Borderlands 3, and I'd believe you.

    I'll be on the fence on this one. Borderlands didn't do it for me and I found it the churning out of memes and pop culture references that are already dated lazy and just not funny.

    In my defense loot based games like Diablo have yet to click with me, I might have to give something like Torchlight or Diablo 3 a proper go sometime to see if they grab me.

    I was referring to your bashing of the humour!
    Totally forgot about the gameplay and loot :P
    At least BL2 + DLC is value for money and the pinnacle of "good DLC"

    Back on the subject of Battleborn though, kind of surprised theres been so little said about it, I guess the hype train has yet to get going

    Just got this by email.

If you’re interested in helping us test out Battleborn and want to be one of the first people in the world to get their hands on this new breed of first-person shooters, you can register by going to http://rsvp.battleborn.com/.

    Very slick menus, possibly the best I have ever seen in a technical test.

    Anyone manage to get a game?
