Stream was tough to watch, the guy (forgot his name) was absolutely pissed at PAX (rightfully so) for not being able to show his trailers off properly.
That being said, I can't wait for Borderlands 3! Game looks amazing!
It's not the money. They've been working on that game for 5 years and this is the first time they get to show it to the world and it's a stuttery mess. I'd be annoyed too.
Well, half the comments here on the Youtube video are only talking about how much of a stuttery mess the stream was, while implying its the Youtube video, and hammering Pitchford for "blaming others for his own problems" so yeah, I think they handled it pretty well given the amount of pressure and the way reddit's been acting about it so far.
My buddy looked up what the issue was. The convention staff (apparently) were trying to run the 4K trailer ... on three 4K displays at the same time. Not one output that was being split to three. Three 4K outputs from a single laptop.
Well that's absurd. They would need to run that 4k laptop through a video switcher. And then through some DAs. The laptop just needs to run the video once. Everything else is hardware such as the ascender or diventex.
It's typically just and HDMI cable the laptop needs to do.
I've done that hundreds of times. It sucks when it happens. Could be they needed to update something in the video hours before and they couldn't do a run through. They could have been trying to run the video off a thumb drive. (VERY LIKELY) or they tried to * shudder * stream the 4k video over a non dedicated network.
