Rumblings on Gearbox Software's official message board recently indicated that there was a significant problem with the PS3 version of the game. Friends weren't able to join other friends for some wicked PSN-fueled cooperative action. But that issue is no more -- it has been crushed by Gearbox Software technical wizardry.
In a statement just released to the press, Gearbox's marketing VP Steve Gibson said the PSN friends list problem has been identified and resolved. He noted that PS3 owners should be able to rock out with their bros starting now without having to download a patch -- this was an invisible fix on the server side.
Word on the street is that Gearbox used little electric demons -- not tech dudes -- to clean and bandage the server's wounds, which can be attributed, perhaps, to Borderlands bangin' sales.
"We hope that no other issues crop up," Gibson said in the statement, "but the success of Borderlands is exceeding our expectations and there are more players at launch than we expected. In any case, we plan to continue support of Borderlands on all platforms in case anything else crops up."
This sounds awesome. This afternoon, Genvid Entertainment announced two, all-new interactive streaming series at San Diego-Comic Con: DC Heroes United and Borderlands EchoVision Live.
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
TheGamer Writes "I don't think my most controversial video game take should be that controversial, but it is. I'm a video game journalist, so you know I have some bad takes in this broken down serotonin factory I call a brain, but here's one opinion that receives universal pushback: I don't like video game music."
Wow, good job, Gearbox! Glad to see they fixed the issue so quickly and efficiently! I was afraid it was going to be another broken PS3 port. Guess not! :-D
..if Gamespot changes their PS3 review score. Cause this was a damn quick fix, no need for Gamespot to let old information sit there and misinform potential buyers.
It works for my friend. :-/ He's playing co op as I write this comment.
good job gearbox... the game is awesome by the way
Well at least Gearbox isn't like Bethesda with the PS3 version of the fallout games. Hopefully I'll pick up this game soon.
