Borderlands (PC)

Borderlands is essentially Mad Max in a video game - a fun FPS with elements of Diablo throughout. The game had an arguably more enjoyable (and arguably less cerebral) sequel, released three years later.

"Greenfields" Trailer

Some differences include an early model of the character "Lilith," as well as the town of "Fyrestone" being spelled with a "i."

Missing "Tannis on a Fish" Easter Egg Music
According to Youtube user TheXPSGamer, after speaking to a Gearbox developer, it was revealed this song was originally used in an Easter egg in which a Borderlands character, Tannis, rode a fish around as a concert played in the background. The Easter egg remained intact, however, the song was replaced mid-development.

Unused "Grenade Launcher" Weapon Type
Originally, Borderlands was supposed to feature Grenade Launchers. While the "Grenade Launcher" weapon type was scrapped completely in the final game, it is still possible to create your own working Grenade Launcher weapons using a save-editing program such as WillowTree.

One of the first "bosses" you encounter near Fyrestone, Nine-Toes, was originally supposed to have his own special Grenade Launcher known as The Big Toe. The Big Toe is fully creatable ingame.

Various Grenade Launcher weapon parts still exist and as mentioned above are completely usable. Here is an example of the code used to recreate The Big Toe grenade launcher in WillowTree.

As mentioned above, Grenade Launchers can be recreated via modding, which is easily done with a modding program like WillowTree. Grenade Launcher parts can be found in WillowTree in the "gd_weap_grenade_launcher" section. The complete list of Grenade Launcher parts is as follows;
