So are Gearbox working on something for the Vita?

In September Randy Pitchford (Gearbox), Adam Boyes (SCEA) and Shuhei Yoshida (SWWS) took to Twitter and appeared to suggest something. Six months on we have heard nothing. Was it a hoax?

I guess Colonial Marines' disater had some internal consequences, even though Borderlands would definately be a cool addition to the Vita's game library.

hopefully it's aliens Colonial Marines

i was going to say that! haha you have some disagrees but im going to guess that was sarcasm

stuntman_mike4054d ago

The vita version will probably be the demo Randy Pitchford showed with the better graphics and lighting lol.

r214054d ago

Just give me BL2 on vita and all will be forgiven. That or new BL title built entirely for the vita.

A Borderlands game on PSVita would be a dream come true for me, being a die-hard fan of this franchise.

@ SonyPS4
Same here. I really got my hopes up for a BL2 port to Vita - and still have - but my biggest concern is raising the levelcap. Gearbox hinted they were having problems and it could possibly be a game-breaker.
Supposedly by the end of Q1. First sort that out then give us a Vita port.

I heard it's being outsourced.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle16h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg1d 9h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos1d 8h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola1d 4h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
