Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel video preview shows off first gameplay

Check out the first footage of the new Borderlands game in our new video preview.

You've already read our preview of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, right? Coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 this fall, The Pre-Sequel tells the story of the rise of Handsome Jack, the notorious villain of Borderlands 2. For the first time in the series, Borderlands goes off Pandora and to the moon. And with that setting comes brand new gameplay--notably, low-gravity areas and oxygen management. Oh, and laser beams.

Check out the first footage of the game in our new video preview:

        Yeah, I don't have the actual font so I had to eyball it and manually move the letters like a caveman.

      Looks maybe like it's intentionally more open on "NEWS" but I agree that it looks bad.

      I was raging about kerning just the other night. It's almost comforting to hear that it irks others as much as it irks me.

    It's weird to have a different logo for the video, why not use the existing Shacknews logo? Brand standards and all that.

        Yup. Everyone will finally be able to say goodbye to this current design. When will it go live? No one really knows. It'll be a surprise!

        Nice hopefully it'll be a good layout. I like the look of the logo though. Not sure what they were thinking when they went with the tablet style layout for nu-shack.
