E3 2019 Borderlands 3 Gunplay Is Supposed to Be Massively Improved
Lock and load
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is a solid package on PlayStation 4, but it's difficult to deny just how dated the moment to moment gunplay feels. There's a distinct lack of impact to most of the weapons, and the visual feedback is pretty poor by today's standards, even if damage numbers are flying all over the screen. What we're...

Where are the pre-orders?
Borderlands: Game of the Year edition is supposed to release tomorrow after its recent announcement at Gearbox's PAX East extravaganza, but the physical version of the game is almost nowhere to be seen.

News Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition Announcement Is Inevitable Following ESRB Rating
T-minus six days to announcement
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition is almost definitely a thing coming to PS4 later this year, if a new ESRB rating is anything to go by.

Hands On Borderlands 2 VR Is Much Better with the PSVR Aim Controller
The best way to play
Borderlands 2 VR launched last year and played perfectly fine with the DualShock 4 controller, but we weren’t fond of its PlayStation Move support. Unfortunately, the game lacked PSVR Aim Controller support at launch – despite frequent requests from fans for its implementation. Thankfully, developer Gearbox listened, and a...
News Borderlands 2 VR Gets PSVR Aim Controller Support with 2.0 Update
Bug fixes and performance improvements, too
We were a little let down back in December when Borderlands 2 VR launched without any sign of support for the PSVR Aim Controller, but that's all about to change with today's patch that enables the use of the peripheral out in the hostile wasteland of Pandora. Alongside that, the 2.0 update will bring...
News Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition for PS4 Spotted Again Via Ratings Listing
Bordering on suspicious
All the way back in May last year, a Korean ratings board listing for 'Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition' appeared. There was speculation over what the supposed title could be -- a simple remaster of the first Borderlands? Or maybe some kind of collection? -- but more information never followed. Until now, that is...
News Borderlands 2 VR Gets the Live Action Commercial Treatment
For the Mayas
It’s been a quietly exceptional year for PlayStation VR, but there’s still one big game left in its arsenal: Borderlands 2 VR. Okay, so the PlayStation 3 version of the shooter-looter launched eons ago, but it has been upgraded for virtual reality and should present a totally new experience from the all-new perspective. And to...
News Looks Like Borderlands 2 VR Won't Ship with DLC
VRy disappointing
Borderlands 2 is coming to PlayStation VR later this year, and in many ways it feels like a decent fit for Sony’s virtual reality headset.

News Gearbox Basically Admits Borderlands 3 Is in Full Production
Lock and load
Wow, who saw this one coming? At a recent PAX West panel, Gearbox CEO and industry gobsh*te Randy Pitchford told the audience that 90 per cent of the studio is currently "working on the thing I think most of you guys want us to be working on". Obviously, that's a Borderlands 3 tease -- unless the developer is so misguided that it...
News Tales from the Borderlands Didn't Sell Well at All
One of Telltale's best developed with skeleton crew
Some top Telltale staffers have cast some light on Tales from the Borderlands – and it’s raised some questions about the culture at the company. Many of you may remember that it took ages for episodes in the critically acclaimed series to deploy, and that’s because after less-than-stellar...
News Telltale Hints That The Wolf Among Us Rumours Are Fairytales
But there's probably a new Batman on the way
Good ol’ games media, you’ve only gone and done it again. We resisted the urge to write a report on the recent The Wolf Among Us rumours, where the voice actor who played Bigby Wolf in the popular comic book adaptation retweeted a tease regarding forthcoming Telltale announcements. To be honest, while...
News Here's Your Shock First Look at Borderlands 3
Probably
Gearbox clearly should have prioritised Borderlands 3 ahead of Battleborn, but what's done is done, and the good news is that the studio is finally forging ahead with the loot shooter sequel. Boss Randy Pitchford took to the stage during an Unreal Engine panel at GDC 2017 today to reveal a little more about the title – much to the...
News Borderlands 3 Teases Are One Way to Sell Battleborn DLC

News Will Red Dead Redemption 2 Be Announced at E3 2016?
BioShock? Borderlands? Take Two's going big
Take Two, the company in charge of 2K Games and Rockstar, has hinted that it will appear at E3 2016 in a "big way". Strauss Zelnick, the organisation's head honcho, teased the tidbit in the latest issue of MCV, stopping short of revealing which titles it will have on display. It currently has three games...
News Oh Great, Now There's a Bloody Borderlands Movie
We're going to be sick
Few things are less funny than Borderlands, but we'd probably put having our eyeballs accidentally sucked out by a vacuum cleaner in the spot above. Still, that's not stopped Telltale Games from taking the title's non-existent fiction and turning it into the decent Tales from the Borderlands, so we suppose that the brand's...
Review Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 4 - Escape Plan Bravo (PS4)
Skin pizza party
Since their respective debuts, Telltale appears to have prioritised Game of Thrones over Tales from the Borderlands. Indeed, the latter's release "schedule" could, at best, be described as inconsistent. The first episode released in November of last year, and now, ten months later, we've just made it to the fourth instalment. This...
News Borderlands: The Handsome Collection's PS4 Patch Is the Game's Funniest Joke
Just under 10GB
Ah, broadband – it's not like any of us have usage caps or anything.

The update – which is also available specifically for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on the PlayStation 3 – promises...
News Remember to Make Room for Borderlands: The Handsome Collection's Huge Day One Patch on PS4
Not so handsome
We're well and truly into the age of ridiculously big downloadable game updates, but Borderlands: The Handsome Collection actually has a decent excuse. Weighing in at a rather large 8.31GB, you'll need the title's day one patch before you dive into some shooting and looting madness. Thankfully, it's not just a hefty chunk of data to...
Round Up Borderlands: The Handsome Collection PS4 Reviews Look in the Mirror
Jack's back
They should make a movie: Not Another PlayStation 4 Remaster. Seriously, though, while Borderlands: The Handsome Collection may not include the first game in the series, it's looking like a pretty comprehensive package. Including both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, the real thing that should sell this set is the fact that...
Review Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 2 - Atlas Mugged (PlayStation 4)
Cool story, bro
It's taken an age for Telltale Games to release the second instalment in its Tales from the Borderlands series. The first episode deployed all the way back in December, and in the time since, it's released not one but two episodes in its other ongoing story, Game of Thrones. The question is: has the continuation of Rhys and Fiona's...

Vault funkers
In what we've no doubt will prove a hilarious piece of downloadable content, Gearbox has announced that an all-new campaign – Claptastic Voyage – will be strutting its stuff to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel later this month. Due out from 24th March, the add-on will be available day and date with Borderlands: The Handsome Collection...
