Borderlands switching to cel-shaded graphics (maybe): good or bad?

Discuss.Borderlands switching to cel-shaded graphics (maybe): good or bad?
It's not cell-shaded. Cell-shaded means flat textures.This pic was posted on System Wars:This is also a screenshot:Here's what the devs say:Heh! No, Borderlands is not cel-shaded - it's a gritty and serious world after all. But since the game was first unveiled we have made big advancements with the art direction and the technology to support the art and have produced some pretty impressive, even shocking results.We weren't expecting a story about this to break this week, but I'll tell you that the http://www.borderlandsthegame.com website will soon be getting new content that will expose how far we've gone with the art. If the story you guys broke today makes too much noise for us to deal with we may decide to speed up when we update the site with media. Also, PC Gamer came to visit us recently to check out and play the game with us. The result of that is that the next issue of PC Gamer has Borderlands on the cover and inside there is a big story with a lot of images and a story written by Dan Stapleton. Finally, there's always E3 in a few months where attendees can see the game live. I know some folks have figured out that we've done something big to Borderlands even if no one is quite sure what we've done yet and I know I'm still being a bit cryptic on that, but frankly we aren't quite ready for this story to get out.Cheers!- RandyIt looks much better now. The cover character is damn ugly, but the two above are great.

It looks similar to crackdown, which could be good or bad, but I've been excited about this game since the Game Informer cover story a year ago.
I don't really mind, I just hope the gameplay is good.
My knee-jerk reaction is that I hate it, but maybe the gameplay will astound me.
Considering the ''quality'' of recent releases, I doubt that will be the case. :-)
