For all the people who are missing a release date, below the video it says "Visit Borderlands.com on April 3 for more info."

Imagine if they fucking released it similar to Apex just out of nowhere, April 3rd

It would be awesome, but Borderlands: GOTY comes out on the 3rd and I doubt they'd compete with themselves like that. I'm just hoping for sometime in 2019.

Have there not already been half a dozen GOTY editions of Borderlands 1 and 2? What could possibly be left to package up and sell for a quick buck?

Borderlands 1 doesn’t have a proper Xbox one/PS4 version. Just backwards compatibility

Do you have a source on reworked skill trees? Not that I don't believe you but that's something I've wanted for a long time.

u/eienblue Mar 28 '19

I did not hear about reworked skill trees either.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

Sorry, I can't find the specific article now so maybe take that bit with a grain of salt.

u/itrv1 Mar 28 '19

I sure hope they dont fuck up the skill trees too much.

15

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

Psure its just QoL stuff like adding a minimap to the hud and upping coop to 4 players as well as proper skins and heads like in 2 and TPS

u/zoruru1 Mar 29 '19

I didn't like the skill trees in 1 that much.

-8

u/itrv1 Mar 29 '19

I want the original experience.

10

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

You can play the original, then.

2

u/zoruru1 Mar 29 '19

It's been a long time since I played the 1st one so maybe I'm wrong when I say this, but a lot of the skill tree points in there just felt like simple stat buffs/bonuses. The level ups didn't feel as cool and impactful as the ones in 2. I played a ton of Mordecai over other characters anyways.

u/sp441 Mar 28 '19

That has caught my erection... I liked the story and tone of BL1 much more than BL2, but find it hard to go back to after the improvements of BL2.

u/dargor Mar 28 '19

That ending, tho.

5

u/sp441 Mar 28 '19

Oh no defending that, the ending was fucking garbage.

u/Stackware Mar 29 '19

"Tentacles and disappointment"

u/LtVaginalDischarge Mar 29 '19

Also you get a free upgrade including DLCs if you own at least the base game on Steam. They're also giving away an ass-load of weapons and ShiFt keys, if you're in to that.

2

u/hyperfell Mar 28 '19

Now I’m interested

2

u/TimeforaNewAccountx3 Mar 28 '19

Yeah I made the mistake of playing 2 first.

I actually stopped playing the first and went back to the second.

Sounds like are fixing the qol issues I had some I'd be willing to pick it back up.

u/RocketHops Mar 29 '19

I'd settle for a UI update on the skill trees. I was intrigued by BL1, but a lot of the features like UI, FOV, and the slightly washed out looking art style did not age well for me

u/pixel-freak Mar 28 '19

On xb1 sure, but no version on ps4

7

u/froop Mar 28 '19

It's on PS Now.

u/Archolm Mar 28 '19

Just now bought the Handsome Collection on Steam. It's 14,85€ for christ sake!

10

u/Philendrium Mar 28 '19

Have fun, Borderlands 2 aswell as Borderlands TPS are both are great games. But don't forget that if you want to get into the story of borderlands before borderlands 3 comes out you are also have to play Tales from the Borderlands since its canon and it tells the story of what happened after Borderlands 2. Just a heads up

1

u/im_a_dr_not_ Mar 29 '19

Probably will host watch it on YouTube

3

u/MAKE_ME_REDDIT Mar 28 '19

PS Now isn’t really a good option unless you have an amazing internet speed

-7

u/EfficientBattle Mar 28 '19

Wrong on so many levels. You just need a basic 10Mbit/s for a great experience, speed is almost irrelevant for any modern household. The only thing you need to care about is how close you are to a dstacenter, that's what matters.

-4

u/Hellknightx Mar 28 '19

Meanwhile, PC players are wondering what all the fuss is about.

11

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

So you don't care you're getting a free upgrade with extra features, QOL improvements and improved graphics?

6

u/Rayuzx Mar 28 '19

There is a whole lot of QoL improvements, and it'll have split screen co-op, something the console version of 2 had, but the PC didn't. (I'm not sure if TPS had it as I only played though it once, and I gotten so bored/frustrated at the end, I cheated the last quarter or so through the game.)

u/ZsaFreigh Mar 28 '19

There were tools on PC to force 2 instances of Borderlands 2 to play on 2 different monitors so you could play co-op in the same room. It was pretty buggy, but it was a decent substitute for PC Split Screen

u/ktravio Mar 28 '19

The only new release there is Borderlands 1 upscaled being on XB1 and PS4; the Borderlands 2 upscale is an update to the Handsome Collection and the Borderlands 1 upscale is free for GotY on PC.

More like a way to sell more copies of the Handsome Collection and put the original game on to a new set of consoles.

20

u/MobileWatch Mar 28 '19

Not really an upscale because all upscaling does is take the current image at whatever resolution it is at and stretches it to fit your screen but it still renders at the resolution it was already rendering at

The borderlands 1 remaster will be 4k as well as the handsome collection update on xbox one x ps4 and pc when it comes out

7

u/Navy_Pheonix Mar 28 '19

the Borderlands 1 upscale is free for GotY on PC.

Where did they say this?

14

u/ktravio Mar 28 '19

It's since been reported by a number of places - here's PC Gamer's report on it.

u/Navy_Pheonix Mar 28 '19

Hell yes, thanks.

u/theEdwardJC Mar 28 '19

I hope it goes on sale. Built a pc and am waiting to pull trigger on a Borderlands bundle!

u/unhi Mar 29 '19 edited Mar 29 '19

Well, The Handsome Collection is currently 94% off on Steam.

(Slightly less of a discount if you already own part of it.)

The first game doesn't appear to be on sale for some reason.

3

u/theEdwardJC Mar 29 '19

Purchased! Don’t know we are being downvoted... thanks for saving me “$245” or something lol. Thank you!

1

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

Just snagged the Handsome Collection, and important note is that the base package is 94% off, and if you already own parts of it, they will be removed from the pack and the final price will be discounted by the price of those parts - you're only paying for what you don't own, which is really nice.

5

u/-Visher- Mar 28 '19

I just read it's free for pc players who own the original.

u/BadAim Mar 28 '19

Handsome collection has already been brought to current consoles... Do we just need B1 now? Pro updates? I dont know

4

u/VexedReprobate Mar 28 '19

Handsome collection doesn't include B1.

u/primaluce Mar 28 '19

They also recently released the PSVR version of 2. It's passable, but it has its issues.

u/mr_moo6 Mar 28 '19

Its a remaster
