From GI's article:

The September issue of Game Informer contains 12 pages of exclusive details and screenshots from Borderlands 2, and outlines the numerous improvements the developer has in store for your return trip to Pandora. Don’t expect just a couple bazillion more guns this time around. Gearbox is introducing new and more diverse environments, smarter and more powerful enemies, and an improved mission system capable of delivering a better story. This and much more will be revealed in the story, as well as our full month of additional online content. The game is set for a release in 2K Games' fiscal year 2013, which begins April 1, 2012, and ends March 31, 2013.

Ain't no rest for the wicked, indeed!

"A mission system capable of delivering a better story"

I certainly fuckin' hope so. I never realized how important narrative was in games until I played Borderlands, where there was seemingly no narrative whatsoever. That game was a huge missed opportunity. The gameplay was fun but incredibly repetitive, and it was pretty much 20-30 hours of "Get mission, go do mission(kill someone, collect something), return to mission board and collect money, rinse and repeat" over and over and over again, with a promised incentive of finding the Vault, only to be cockslapped in the face at the end.

I loved the first game even with its lack of story. Throw in a decent story and a much better voice chat system and I can't wait!

Looking forward to it. If it's at least as good as the first I'll be pleased.

The first one fucking blew. I'll pass on this one.

I don't think the game is that bad. Repetitive yes, that is for sure.
But I loved the fact that you could actually design your own guns with the help of Willowtree editor... That made the game more interesting.

Plus the DLC were quite good, Zombie Island and Robot Revolution had me LOLing for some time. Here's some hoping that they include some Duke now that Gearbox owns the franchise.

well first game was kinda fun the first 10 min
but then you find out its the same stuff over and over and over it gets very boring
i hope they can find a way to make this new one alot more fun an less boring.

Has anyone seen the GameInformer scans? I think it's looking better than the first. From the scans the environments seem to have much more variation than the first, and ALL NEW guns! No guns at all from the first game. I'd like to see what other characters are playable

So bringing back my BADASS guns from the first is a no-no? Shame... I loved my acid spewing shotty. I love the fact that now Bandits have their own brand of guns. Crazy combinations there for sure.

Updated the first post with first teaser trailer. Seems dual wielding will now be possible. Looks nice.
