Explain, exactly, how it has any similarties to Borderlands. I can name 10 ways off the top of my head it doesn't:
1. Borderlands is cell-shaded; RAGE is not.
2. Borderlands is team-based (4 players); RAGE is not (there is a two-player co-op mode but it is missions based on the campaign--not the campaign).
3. Borderlands is on an undeveloped planet; RAGE is on Earth, ravaged by an asteroid.
4. Borderlands weapons are variables based on 4 basic categories with random settings based on level; RAGE does not have random stats for weapons as far as I can tell.
5. Borderlands is almost completely text based for communication; RAGE has more voice acting.
6. Borderlands uses Unreal Engine 3.0; RAGE uses a brand new iD Tech 5 engine.
7. Borderlands has no voice actors of notoriety; RAGE has John Goodman.
8. Borderlands has only one type of usable vehicle in the base game--four total if you include DLCs; RAGE has many.
9. Borderlands driving is painful on PC with the idiotic reliance of the mouse to steer instead of aimming the turret; doubtful RAGE is that silly.
10. Borderlands story is pathetic and not relatable; RAGE isn't and is.
That's what I gather just from watchering that 14 minute video. Once I actually play the game, the list is likely to grow much longer.
Just because it's not made in the same way doesn't mean that the two games aren't similar.
Because it is. RAGE is a hybrid of borderlands and Fallout, just made differently. Just look at it. Fallout and RAGE are almost exactly the same in the way the quests are given, talk to some guy.
Just in the way that Battlefield and MW are similar, but not.
