Description

Borderlands is an up and coming FPS/RPG which has been promoted as using procedural content generation methods extensively.

Use of Procedural Content Generation Methods

From the Game Informer article:

We saw a ridiculous amount of guns, but perhaps the strangest was a revolver that fired shotgun shells. Gearbox is constantly surprised with what the system comes up with. They've seen rifles shoot everything from homing darts to rockets. 'One of the guns tracks onto something and locks, and after three seconds, [the target] suddenly explodes,' director Matthew Armstrong says.
