The same level of optimisation is found in throughout the game: small fire-fights play out without a a hitch, while locations sporting long draw distances mostly retain the target 60fps - something that definitely wasn't the case previously. By comparison, after the latest 1.02 patch is installed, frame-rates stick closely to the desired 60fps refresh with only a few minor dips in smoothness that manifest as occasional brief pauses, which are short and rare enough not to cause offence. An early gunfight in a large control room initially suffered from regular bouts of screen-tear and heavy frame-rate drops, creating judder and highly variable controller response. The developer has finally handed in something closely resembling the experience we were hoping for - 1080p60 gameplay on both PS4 and Xbox One.Īn initial look at the PS4 patch reveals substantial upgrades in performance, with demanding scenes operating at far higher frame-rates than the day one code.
Weighing in at around 9GB on both consoles (around 7GB for The Pre-Sequel and 2GB for Borderlands 2 on Xbox One), the update is remarkable, a genuine game-changer. Last week, Gearbox Software released patch 1.02 to tackle these performance issues in addition to squashing a number of bugs. Unfortunately, the launch code felt distinctly uneven and lacking in polish, with a wildly variable frame-rate and intrusive screen-tear. You'll be able to pick up both games gratis from June 4th, while you have until June 3rd to claim the current freebies, What Remains of Edith Finch and the utterly wonderful Overcooked.The idea behind Borderlands: The Handsome Collection was enticing: billed as the definitive console editions of Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel, the remaster promised full HD visuals and a smooth 60fps update on both PS4 and Xbox One. The other freebie for June is 2017's Sonic Mania, which brought everyone's favorite blue speed freak (well, at least before that movie trailer) back to his 16-bit origins. Meanwhile, if you played either game on PS3, you can continue from where you left off on your PS4 if you port over your save data. If you have a PS4 Pro, you'll be able to play the games in 4K following an update last month. The collection includes remastered versions of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, along with all DLC for both and enhanced multiplayer. And, what do you know? Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is one of the titles Sony is giving away to PS Plus subscribers in June.
With Borderlands 3 arriving in just a few months, it seems like a good time to start catching up on or revisiting Gearbox Software's FPS series.
