Borderlands: The Handsome Collection - the ultimate GOTY Edition or just new money for old rope?

Dealspwn: "We all knew it was going to happen eventually. After Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel released last year on PS3 and Xbox 360, everyone on the internet assumed that 2K Australia's tie-in would make it to the new machines at some point. They assumed correctly.

However, Gearbox have gone further than just an HD remake by announcing The Handsome Collection. This new PS4 and Xbox One compilation includes a remastered version of Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and all of the DLC released thus far in a single package, featuring save file transfers and an utterly ludicrous special edition.

As HD remakes go, it's an impressive volume of content, but does the Handsome Collection have what it takes to stack up against the biggest games of March 2015?"

Just jumping on the remake bandwagon like a lot of other developers I guess..

I haven't played either game, so I may look at picking this up..

Blues Cowboy3417d ago (Edited 3417d ago )

Yeah, seems that way. It's definitely better value than Sleeping Dogs or Tomb Raider Definitive, though a crying shame that BL1 isn't in there, or any major gameplay improvements such as GTA V brought to the table (excluding the 4-player splitscreen).

Good call for the summer once the big releases slow down, I reckon. Well, assuming that the graphical upgrades are actually meaningful and the whole thing isn't full of bugs, that is.

Bennibop3417d ago (Edited 3417d ago )

I would buy as I never bothered with any of the Borderland games and have enjoyed Destiny (have been told Borderlands 2 is much better.)

I agree with sleeping dogs was not great value but Tombraider was one of the best remasters it was a revelation playing it on PS4 compared to PS3.

Didn't play the sequel, so when this pretty awesome package drops in price even more, THAT is when I'm getting this.

* I'm about 80% through BL2 on my PC, haven't played in a while, and it looks like I won't continue, so I can at least experience something new in this package for BL2.

gamer93416d ago

But this isn't a remake of an old game. It only came out 3 months ago. This is their next-gen release of the Pre-Sequel and they are throwing in the previous game + all DLC + all future DLC. I don't understand all the whining (in general, not talking about you Neonridr!)

Neonridr3416d ago

hey I will give it a go. Just noticing a trend with this gen that it's far easier for developers to release games they just released to get a double dip.

OrangePowerz3417d ago

I didn't buy the Pre-Sequel because I expected a next gen version.

Revengeance3417d ago

I'm DEFINITELY picking this up. So glad I didn't play BL2 or Pre-Sequel. Bring on more remasters. That's more games for the new consoles.

Blues Cowboy3417d ago

This seems right up your street then! If you never played BL2 or TPS, it's crazy value.

n4rc3416d ago

Played the hell out of bl2 but ditched my 360 before the presequel...

Picking this up for sure... Wouldn't mind replying bl2 anyways lol

gamer93416d ago

@Orange @Revengeance

YES!!

KilKarazy3417d ago

Thank God! I have the Pre-Sequel on PS3. The frame rate is horrid. I stopped playing it.

Blues Cowboy3417d ago

It was quite buggy on Xbox 360 too, when I played it. Quite a lot of glitches and the occasional trigger failing to... erm, trigger I guess. Hope they'll polish it up.

TimeSkipLuffy3417d ago

No one is forcing anyone to buy a remastered game. It is up to the gamer to decide if they want it or not :D

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle700d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

because they all run like garbage and are poorly optimized for switch

G3ng4r939d ago

These actually run quite well on switch but you are welcome to show us how ignorant you are if you like. I picked up the handsome collection because of how nice it looks on switch compared to something like outer worlds. Outer worlds is blurry trash on switch.

Yui_Suzumiya939d ago (Edited 939d ago )

I have The Outer Worlds on both PS4 and Switch and it most definitely didn't run bad on Switch. How many hours did put in on the Switch version?!

G3ng4r938d ago

My profile says I played for 75 hours so I put up with some stuff. And it does run bad on switch. The latest patch helped to keep it at 30fps but it still doesn't stay there. Then there are those moments when the game stops you where you are to load assets, you can't tell me you haven't seen that loading circle in the center of the screen. Lastly, and most damning in my opinion, is how blurry the game is. Monarch in particular gave me a headache to look at for long, orange soup for miles.

Look, I get it, you're a switch fan. So am I. That doesn't mean we have to be dishonest and claim that games that were obviously never meant to come to the platform actually run flawlessly.

G3ng4r938d ago

Examples of ported games that look nice on switch: skyrim, dark souls, borderlands, bioshock, diablo 3

Examples of ported games that look like a fart on switch: outer worlds, witcher 3, divinity os 2, doom 2016, ark survival

It isn't hard. Play what the switch handles well, skip what it doesn't and don't confuse people as to what looks good and what doesn't.
