Borderlands: The Handsome Collection gets a massive performance patch

Dealspwn: "As much as we love Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, we were compelled to point out some annoying technical issues. Frame rate drops can affect both Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel, while the latter suffers from the most egregious screen tearing I've seen in a console game in quite some time.

Thankfully Gearbox have deployed a whopping new patch that should go some way towards fixing these problems... at the expense of pulling down about 8GB."

It would be nice if some of these patches replaced data on the hard drive rather than just joined it. Ether One started at 3gb on PS4. Two patches later and I think it's at 10gb now. That said, I'd rather the games get fixed. Or yanno, released in working condition like they managed in the 90s.

Most of the time patches do overwrite and replace data. When they don't, it's usually because they're stealthily installing DLC assets (like Destiny and Dead Rising 3 do).

Ether One was updated? Twice?? I have it installed but heard of the slowdown or frame rate issues and have been waiting for an update...

JWiLL5523262d ago

I was waiting for this before I continued with The Pre Sequel. Will have to jump back on and check it out...

Once I'm done with The Witcher :P

MrDead3262d ago

I'm playing the Pre-Sequel now, PS4. There are still a few stutters in the frame rate but nothing like it was, also the light bar on the DS4 changes colour depending what elemental weapon you have, which is nice.

Quick round up:
Smoother.
Sexy colours.

NeoGamer2323262d ago

I bought it on day one and parked the game due to its bugs. Add to DriveClub, Halo MCC, AC Unity, and BF4...

I am now Day One shy and don't buy games until I know they are solid. It is a sad state of affairs this generation. And gamers should not support this crap day one stuff anymore.

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle666d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

because they all run like garbage and are poorly optimized for switch

These actually run quite well on switch but you are welcome to show us how ignorant you are if you like. I picked up the handsome collection because of how nice it looks on switch compared to something like outer worlds. Outer worlds is blurry trash on switch.

I have The Outer Worlds on both PS4 and Switch and it most definitely didn't run bad on Switch. How many hours did put in on the Switch version?!

G3ng4r904d ago

My profile says I played for 75 hours so I put up with some stuff. And it does run bad on switch. The latest patch helped to keep it at 30fps but it still doesn't stay there. Then there are those moments when the game stops you where you are to load assets, you can't tell me you haven't seen that loading circle in the center of the screen. Lastly, and most damning in my opinion, is how blurry the game is. Monarch in particular gave me a headache to look at for long, orange soup for miles.

Look, I get it, you're a switch fan. So am I. That doesn't mean we have to be dishonest and claim that games that were obviously never meant to come to the platform actually run flawlessly.

G3ng4r904d ago

Examples of ported games that look nice on switch: skyrim, dark souls, borderlands, bioshock, diablo 3

Examples of ported games that look like a fart on switch: outer worlds, witcher 3, divinity os 2, doom 2016, ark survival

It isn't hard. Play what the switch handles well, skip what it doesn't and don't confuse people as to what looks good and what doesn't.
