PC game Borderlands, by Gearbox Software, took a major U-turn in development. Apparently the game is switching over to cell-shaded graphics. This is somewhat surprising as the game seemed to be already in the advanced stages of development, judging by gameplay videos released last January.
Cell-shaded graphics give a game a more hand-drawn, unnatural, classic animation appearance. Probably the most popular recent examples of using cell-shaded graphics are Street Fighter IV and Team Fortress 2.
One screenshot has found it's way online. Meanwhile, Gearbox community manager Ennui has confirmed the switch in art direction on the game's official forums.
