Gamers-Association.com: It's no secret that PlayStation Plus is becoming quite a game-changer, and the availability of free access to Borderlands right before the release of the sequel only solidifies the fact.
Pure Arts Reveals Borderlands Collectible that fans should l8ve.
Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.
"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"
Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.
No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)
So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
Approaching the Borderlands series for the first time can be a bit confusing, but with this guide, new players can enjoy the series in the proper order.
First of all we'd have to know the exact number of PS+ users to draw any conclusion with sales figures of Borderlands 2. Clearly Sony must have decent numbers, otherwise devs wouldn't support it, but I still think it's in the experimental stage at the moment. Luckily, some devs are risking it to see if it does make a difference to the sequels. It all depends on how well those games do. If they do well then PS+ could become HUGE. If they don't do any better than expected, then PS+ will have continued steady success, but won't become as dominant as it could have been.
Of course we're still waiting on the Vita version and how PSMobile will be integrated. Gaikai at some point, but not just yet. It's interesting times ahead and PS+ has me very interested.
It would be good seeing that the new game is around soon. But playstation plus is and has been pretty awsome, big name games are on thier now soo its onli good for 2k.
This game has been available by itself for as cheap as $10 and I got the GOTY for 15 (I already had the original and all the DLC on Xbox 360). There has been no lack of hype surrounding the first one or the second one, and I would think at those prices, anyone that was remotely interested would already own this game.
People will check it out because it is "free," and sure, it will sell a few more games, but the people that weren't even willing to invest $10 into the game knowing there was a second one coming out and not knowing it was eventually going to be free are obviously not going to run out and spend 60 on the new one just because.
I kind of chuckle at this notion about how all these free games PS+ is putting out are so awesome. Every single one of them has been completely phased out of retail, with even Amazon clearancing them out, and many of them were completely ignored when they came out.
Borderlands bucks that trend, but it's a nearly three year old game. It's a great tactic by Gearbox, because the worst thing that can happen is someone that hadn't had the chance to play their game, plays their game. They may make a few extra bucks on DLC and ideally this opportunity in the next three weeks makes someone run out and buy Borderlands 2, but realistically, I don't think it will translate into more than a few sales (which is still better than where they were before).
The game is just awesome and the second iteration is shaping to be one hell of a game, but there's still games that didn't play that game. One reason that could be behind this is the same reason why some of my friends didn't play this game:
some of them don't like FPS a lot, but when they realized the fact that it's more than just an ordinary FPS. Some of them played it with me on splitscreen and they almost bought the game right away.
It's definitely something I'll download, but I already play Borderlands: GOTY on Steam with friends. :/ It was only like $5 on the Steam Christmas sale last year.
