Borderlands Hands-On

What else? XP unlocks new abilities, but your own FPS prowess is absolutely vital. Pitchford talks about a level 4 player taking down level 10 mobs, simply due to his expert way with a targeting reticule.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun has a hands-on preview of Borderlands, and through it you get a good feel for this RPG-FPS. I stress FPS (see the small quote from the article above), as there are a couple people here at StrafeRight who get their panties in a bunch whenever someone mentions a mix between the two.

I'm with you Joe. This one is looking pretty damn cool.

I avoided Fallout 3 because of the RPG/FPS thing (ya, ya... so shoot me) but this might be the mix i'm looking for

what's the scoop on this, is this online MP? that would be drastically different than FO3. if not in look and feel, then in ambiance

co-op has been confirmed, and there's supposed to be further multi-player beyond that, but no word as of yet...

I would love a fallout-esq type game that concentrated more on the FPS aspect of the game. I'm sorry, but when I'm less than a foot away from you, I shouldn't be missing with my gun.
