The argument began yesterday via a post by reddit user Stupidname (thanks Tom!), who asked, “Did Borderlands get an art style inspiration from this?” The 'this' in question was CodeHunters, an animated short from Ben Hibon with Stateless Films and Blinkink, which became the theme for MTV Asia's movie awards in 2006.The replica Rolex 16234J Men's Watch graphical style is instantly familiar to fans of Borderlands. Developer Gearbox Software completely revamped the art for the game last year, introducing a new style in April that looked extremely similar to CodeHunters.The similarities don't end at the style, however.
Here's the intro for Borderlands: Now check out the opening for the CodeHunters short film. Or watch the whole thing. It's quite good. The beaten-up bus pulling into town is by no means an original way to open anything, but combined with the animation style it certainly looks as if the two clips could have come from the same hand. We contacted replica Rolex 116261-SSO Men's Watch Gearbox regarding the similarities, and were sent a response by company head Randy Pitchford.”I would like to thank news sites who chose to share the awesome work in Code Hunters with their readers. It's great content and one can no doubt imagine that a number of artists and designers at Gearbox were inspired and influenced by it.
It was inspiring to me when “The Incredibles” was clearly a big source of influence for titles like Battlefield Heroes and Team Fortress 2 (and other amazing games and media). Perhaps with more attention from gaming news sites and other sources, Code Hunters can be more respected and honored for their innovation and leadership in CG as well. replica Rolex 116261-WSJ Men's Watch Maybe I'm too optimistic to believe that Code Hunters can get as much attention as Pixar (with due respect I believe they deserve), but with the help of gaming news sites and others who care about great content, maybe more people can notice and recognize and, perhaps, be inspired by it.
