That "every title on Vita" promise didn't last long.
It would take some work but given how the PS4 and XB1 are more similar to a PC than the 360/PS3 are, probably not a huge amount of work. This is another reason I don't understand the lack of PS4/XB1 and I believe it will be announced for them in the future. 2K would be silly not to with an established franchise like this.The fact that it's not even cross-gen means I'm
Not even gonna buy it. If it's on pc already, would it really have been that much more work to get it running on ps4? Pass...
Wait, that was even a thing?
Did the first Borderlands game ever come out in Australia
No next-gens port is bad.
Gearbox's Randy Pitchford was very clear that Borderlands the Pre-Sequel won't be coming to next-gen consoles. Here's why:
"The game will launch on the platforms that all Borderlands customers are familiar with," he said. "So it's Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, and there is not a next-gen version of this. One hundred percent of the budget and the investment and the resources and the talent that have been invested into Borderlands Pre-Sequel have been spent to create content, have been spent to iterate technology from the Borderlands 2 engine. So none of the investment has gone toward creating new technology. None of the investment has gone towards figuring out how new platforms work. It's all about creating, focusing that energy on creation of entertainment and playable entertainment.
"The advantage of course is we know that all the people that played any of the Borderlands games before has these platforms, right. There's over 150 million installed PlayStation 3's and Xbox 360's. There are currently fewer PlayStation 4 and Xbox One's than the sold copies of Borderlands 2, and we do not expect a better than that tie-in rate. So it was a really natural decision for us to prioritize the platforms that are customers are on. That's one of the reasons why I wanted to make sure no one confused our energies as something that you might imagine a Borderlands 3 to be."
Pretty much all the complaining is port begging.Why are people getting so upset over this ? This smells like the Arkham Origins of the Borderlands franchise.

Pitchford on why Bordermemes isn't on PS4/Xbone
guess they finally ran out of Colonial Marines money
My thoughts exactly.That "every title on Vita" promise didn't last long.
And 4 new characters with all new abilities and new weapon types and all new setting.Yup, if that. I have yet to finish Borderlands 2 and it's crap ton of DLC. This "pre-sequel" (sorry, could you guys hear me rolling my eyes?) just looks like even more DLC to me. It's just Borderlands 2 with an O2 meter and low gravity.
who on earth thought that the oxygen thing was a good idea?
part of what makes borderlands fun is the exploration; slapping on an arbitrary time limit before you have to find enemies to loot just spoils that experience
honestly, time limits just to explore open-world games are a bigger sin than escort missions
completely bizarre
who on earth thought that the oxygen thing was a good idea?
One massive addition to the game is the need for a new type of gear, the oxygen kit, or Oz kit. Once a player makes their way onto the moon's surface a helmet digistructs over their head. An oxygen meter tracks how much oxygen they have, but it's not really to make sure you have enough to breathe with. The oxygen tanks on a player's back can also serve as a low-gravity jump jet. By venting oxygen you can double jump, hover, fly a little bit and, most impressively, do a damaging ground pound.
Like much of the game's gear, those Oz kits also can add different bonuses like increasing your fire rate or reload speed or adding different types of elemental damage to that ground slamming attack.
"There's lots of gear variety in the Oz kits as well, so it's a whole new dimension for gear," Pitchford said.
Because of the low gravity of the moon, a players jumps is much higher and a little slower than usual, but the ground pound makes up for that and prevents players from becoming slow moving targets for enemies on the ground.
So it's basically Fallout: New Vegas (but nowhere near as good)?
Of course they did why do you ask this question?
Jesus, are we really calling it that? "Bordermemes"? "Memes" isn't even close to rhyming with "Lands" for pete's sake.
Stinkles words become industry standard.Pitchford said they're using this game to "scratch a lot of those itches" players have from playing through the first two games.
Eurogamer interview:
I highly dispute that, and his business logic is utterly retarded.
Once you go next-gen, your willingless to buy any last-gen games goes down the fucking toilet.
And 4 new characters with all new abilities and new weapon types and all new setting.
It justifies a full release, I think.
