Borderlands 2 Vita Preview | GameRevolution

"Sony still believes it can deliver a console shooter experience that can be both a critical and an economic success by betting the entire deck on Gearbox Studios and Take Two Interactive’s best-selling game of all-time, Borderlands 2. Will this be the shooter that the platform finally deserves?"

day1 for me also!
but kz merc was the fps game on the vita that proved that it can be done really well. reviewers took it apart like it was a ok average game.....it was awsome. it was the best fps on a handheld ever created and looked better than some console fps. hopefully this will be awsome too.
one things for sure reviewers will constantly compare it to consoles and say its an ugly game compared to ps3 or control complaints...smh overlooking the fact that its a 4gb handheld game not a 32gb console game.

completely agree. KZmercs online is funner than KZ2 imo. i play it every day ('cept for the last 2 days). when you look at the reviews you go "da fuq??".

i didnt get the vita for just vita games, i got it for ports, too. ports= console experience. thats what i want. i want whats on ps3, too. gimmee borderlands2, OLED colors pop like crazy.

ps3 in my pocket :).

They got killzone, best portable shooter ever!

[NicholasDeRosa]

I was about to say exactly this. Did the author forget that Killzone Mercenary exists??

[Mikey32230]

Killzone: Mercs already proved Sony can deliver a console shooter experience on a portable..

Absolutely fantastic experience.

I don't know...playing a AAA open world fps on a handheld feels really weird and this is a port of a year and a half old game
wish Bioshock vita happens,that wold be awesome!

[bothebo]

In my opinion open world shooters is just a bad idea unless you consider Battlefield open world. They are awkward and your vision is limited to the reticle which acts as your eyes instead of taking in the environment which is really what open world games are about.

To me, the best experiences on handhelds are adventure games and RPG's because you can dive in and immerse yourself at any given time. Not only that, but it is physically in your hands: you are holding it and a TV is not acting as a medium between you and the game. Additionally, you are physically closer to the game and have a greater feeling of immersion. I think Bioshock Infinite could have been experienced on a whole other level if it was on a hand held. I don't think Sony understands this, but whatever that's my two cents.

Yeah Bioshock Vita would be pretty sweet but I've had to come to terms that it will never happen. Think of it as another mistake by the incompetent Sony hand held division.

I haven't played any of the Borderlands games so this will be my first experience. I'm looking forward to it.

[PoSTedUP]

me either. i played BL1 demo a long time ago, said "ew, screw BL" and hated the franchise. now it's: "oh, BL2 is comming to the vita? my, I Love BL's! :D" lol. i cant wait for it.

[vergilxx3]

I can't wait either it's more fun playing it one handheld
I've only played bl2 for like 15 min
