Details about Borderlands 2 Vita GDC build : visually bland, terrible frame rate, dull shooting sensations. Happy now, NeoGAF ?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Frame rate expected, but what on earth does "dull shooting sensations" mean.

[thequickandthedead]

? Is this a joke?

Spoiler

Boyes pls

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I'll Believe it when I see it. I'm eagerly waiting for a gameplay video soon.

 

[Loudninja]

So nobody else play this?

 

[Kade]

Frame rate expected, but what on earth does "dull shooting sensations" mean.

Possibly feedback.

 

[Savantcore]

"Bang bang...bang bang bang.......reload bang bang"

 

[jbug617]

Frame rate expected, but what on earth does "dull shooting sensations" mean.

I guess feedback.

 

[Kyari]

Sounds like this journalist needs a trip to the Lang Zone.

No but seriously what does that even mean? Dull shooting sensation?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

So nobody else play this?

It is strange there aren't more impressions. Perhaps Sony have an embargo in place?

 

[Gaz_RB]

But does it have any brave moments?

 

[cafemomo]

I hope Sony learns from this nonsense. Should be making more OC for the Vita instead of getting a game that everyone and their mother played on their PC 2 years ago

 

[RMI]

Sounds like a faithful port to me.

 

[Massa]

He's describing a pixel perfect port of Borderlands 2 for PS3!

 

[BY2K]

Frame rate expected, but what on earth does "dull shooting sensations" mean.

Lack of rumble feedback, most likely.

I don't see what's confusing about this, he obviously means lack of feedback and that the shooting feels weak as in you aren't feeling the weight of the shots.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Sounds like a faithful port to me.

Heh

 

[Loudninja]

Besides the famerate mention this is still vague.

 

[TimeEffect]

Sounds like a faithful port to me.

... Lol

 

[Red Rudolph]

[TheSeks]

visually bland, terrible frame rate, dull shooting sensations.

...So, Boredlands series, then?

Spoiler

Okay, the terrible frame-rate isn't a series norm. But the other two is. Just go with it.

They gave me Borderlands 1 and 2 free on PS+ and I think I've put a total of 30 minutes into this series.

Dull shooting sensations indeed.

 

[Goon Boon]

Sounds like a faithful port to me.

Yeah, Borderlands 2 is a jack of all trades game, it does a bunch of everything, but it does it all pretty shitty.

Probably will play this for a bit on PS+ though when it inevitably hits, even though I own the PC one.

 

[computers putin']

Sounds like much hasn't changed then.

 

[Kysen]

Late and shit port, this is why you can safely ignore anything Shahid/Boyes say on Vita. Its Jak/Sly all over again.

 

[Vanillalite]

The one thing I'll say that could give us hope is we don't know how old the GDC build is.

Still sounds well bad.

 

[quantumnerd]

Sounds like a faithful port to me.

+1

Don't really care about Borderlands 2 on Vita much anyways, since I'd rather be playing it on PC (if at all).

 

[maouvin]

How are the shooting sensations of KZ:M?

 

[RMI]

agreed. I played a bit of it on PS3 via PS+ and was not super impressed, but it's not the worst thing. It's a fun enough little time waster and I'm actually looking forward to the Vita version though. Seems like the kind of game that would be well suited to a handheld.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Sounds like a faithful port to me.

ahaha well done

 

[gigantor21]

Still mad I wasted money on that piss-poor Jak Collection. That's what I get for not reading up more on the quality of the port ahead of time. I won't make that mistake with GoW Collection.

But yeah, this sounds like part for the course as far as Vita ports go.

 

[Kouriozan]

That sounds worse than expected, really need to see some gameplay video.

 

[pizzapizza64]

Sounds like a faithful port to me.

I legitimately laughed out loud.

 

[Betta Lines]

Are there any screenshots apart from this one?

It doesn't look that great...

 

[rschauby]

This "journalist" behaves like a total douchebag.

What the hell did he expect from his initial tweet? This one is no better.

douchebag for what? Exposing a shitty port?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Aside from framerate issues that sure sounds like Borderlands 2.

 

[kikonawa]

Tried bl2 on ps3 with the plus program.game was bland and boring.played like half an hour..what you guys expect

 

[jWILL253]

Criticizing a Vita port of any game for lack of any sort of rumble/haptic feedback is pretty stupid...

 

[xxracerxx]

I have been playing for a few hours and I reached Sanctuary. I think I am done with it.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

surprising no one, unreal engine is garbage on Vita.

 

[Riposte]

Can we please adopt "shooting sensations" into our lexicon?

 

[Amentallica]

Maybe now there's a run-on curse after Alien: Colonial Marines?

 

[lordchompy]

Lots of talk here comparing these impressions to the PS3 version; am I missing something here? The PS3 version is the highest rated one on Metacritic, so did everyone just overlook these supposed flaws like they did for Skyrim?

 

[Coffee Dog]

God dammit quit fucking up the ports on your port machine, sony.

I dont care if the game looks ugly as shit, if it plays as bad as the jak and full frontal assault ports I'm not gonna buy.

 

[rschauby]

douchebag for what? Exposing a shitty port?

Feigning surprise that his initial tweet didn't satisfy the curiosity of the masses regarding a game many are interested in.

He didn't need to do a full write up, but posting shit like that on Twitter is bullshit. Had he posted his second tweet to begin with (minus the FU at the end) I'd consider him a credible source. To me, he is coming off as an immature attention whore with zero professionalism.

I like Iron Galaxy but they're not miracle workers. It's probably shitacular.
