Cel-Shading or not?

[Pocahawtness]

There is some rumour going around that Borderlands 4 may not have Cel-Shading. That's the black outlining that makes everything look hand drawn. What are your thoughts on this? Personally, I think Cel-Shading is an important part of the games uniqueness and atmosphere. It should be in 4.

sure the cel shading borders was unique and make borderlands games artstyle feels more comic like.

but for me the black borders look too thick+distracting and kinda make many characters look janky... also feels like it reminds me of telltale games' walking dead artstyles.

eventually i decided that when i play b2 i prefer to turn off the cel-shading through ini config file tweaking, because i want to see the characters show their appearances more naturally without the distracting thick black borders that ebb/undulate weirdly everytime you move quickly toward/away from the characters.

nowadays i wish borderlands artstyles would lean more toward anime-comic style like cyberpunk edgerunner, hi fi rush or arcane series.

Please return to comic book style and cel shading.

Yes.

Borderlands developers describe the art-style as "inked", as the inked outlines are placed on top of 3D models/environments. Borderlands 4 continues this art style, as referenced in the gameplay seen in the latest First Look trailer: https://youtu.be/HJiScC79820?feature=shared&t=65

Cel-shading is an art style that usually includes flat shadows to show dimension and bold outlines to mimic classic 2D cartoon styles.

The devs get this a lot and they do have a preference! 😂

Ah! Inked. Well, I love it. Please keep it. It gives the game character and atmosphere.
