See How Borderlands 2 Looks On The PS Vita Compared To The PC and Consoles

GearNuke: "Borderlands 2 is getting a PS Vita port and many might be wondering how it compares to the PC and the console version of the game. You shouldn't wonder anymore as we have compared the PS Vita version to the PC and console version, and the results are fairly decent."

Looks pretty cool. Vert artsy. Can't wait for it!!! Bundle FTW!! Lol

TomShoe4079d ago

OMG It's real!

Wow, I need a Vita, I'm just waiting for a Slim Vita to come out in the US and another memory card price drop.

alexkoepp4079d ago

Can I transfer my progress from x360 over to my vita?

dedicatedtogamers4079d ago

Just so you know, there is going to be a $200 Vita Slim bundle with Borderlands 2 and an 8G stick included w/ the system. Comes out mid-march in the US.

cozomel4079d ago

Looks like the difference between the ps4 and x1.

Just kidding, now watch the fanboys and mods have a tizzy

ABizzel14079d ago

This might give me a reason to get back into Borderlands. I beat the 360 version had each of my characters leveled up to 60 (I believe that was the level cap then), and my HDD died wiping everything clean.

I haven't gone back since, even the PS+ version wasn't enough to get me back.

But since I'll have it on the go, I can see myself working on the PS3 / PSV version.

showtimefolks4079d ago

for $199 you get the system a memory card plus borderlands 2 GOTY edition, what's not to like about this deal

can't wait, its amazing how ps-vita was selling and now since launch of ps4 is selling really well, than you have the Vita TV in Japan. With this new bundle the system will only improve sales wise

up next GTA on Vita

3-4-54079d ago

Another Solid game that makes the Vita more appealing to buy. Still not sure if I'm getting the slim bundle or regular OLED though.

Not bad, it's still looks good.

FamilyGuy4079d ago

Whoa, the 360 version looks like garbage.
wtf happened? lol

BlackKnight4079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

Borderlands is normally blurry in the background (or if you aim down sights, it will bring into focus whatever you are directly looking at), it is the depth of field effect. Who ever took that PC screenshot disabled the depth of field graphics option is all.

Here you can see it is on:

Even the first borderlands did this:

See how the road close to the camera is crisp but the further you get from the camera the blurrier things get? That;s all it is.

FamilyGuy4079d ago

Focus on the foreground, blur the background. Yeah I see that a lot in movies and some games but why? I'd rather have clarity in games.

Anonagrog4079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

@FamilyGuy,

It's to do with mirroring how lenses or cameras physically act and trying to add recognizable realism to a scene.

'Depth of Field', 'Bokeh, 'Lens Flare', 'Blur', 'Vignetting', 'Film Grain', etc.

There are many things we can try to simulate with the intention of improving the realism or composition of a scene. Of course, it's very much a subjective thing. Ideally control would be left in the player's hands.

TopDudeMan4079d ago

The detail in the background of the vita version looks better than the 360.

kingmushroom4079d ago

Yeah whats up with the blurry background on the 360.

zeuanimals4079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

It's supposed to be depth of field, but it looks like crap in that shot. I think there's a setting to turn it off, atleast I know there is on PC, not sure about the 360.

Milruka4079d ago

It's funny how the Vita version looks better than the 360 version.

Swiggins4079d ago

Whatever you say Eagle-eye.

BlackKnight4079d ago

Nobody in this thread realizes the game has depth of field and the PC shot above simply has it turned off and vita doesn't have depth of field at all.

As simple as it may seem, DOF affects performance, even if a little.

Shakengandulf4079d ago

How much did someone bet for you to say that?

Bathyj4079d ago

Ha, Tree dolla, and siddy cents.

BitbyDeath4079d ago

Must be a dodgy picture, 360 version can't look that bad.

ninjahunter4079d ago

Its depth of field, its an effect that looks better in game.

Gamer19824079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

Yeah thats because the game by now has been optimized partly and the vitas lower resolution actually helps it in game comparisons. Since you get less on the screen in some cases you can do more with what you have.. Plus vita is technically more powerful than both PS3 and 360 so that helps too. PC of course blows them all away but thats because its PC.

dcj05244079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

The vita is basically PS2.8 it's ALMOST there but not quite.

alexkoepp4079d ago

Funny the ps3 version looks so bad it isn't even worth compairing

Milruka4079d ago

I find it funny that when I make a joke about the 360 people think I'm a sony fan, and when I make a joke about ps3 people think im a xbox fan.

When in fact they both suck and PC is superior. :D

Snookies124079d ago

I have it on PS3, and it looks absolutely fine. Don't know what you're on about lol.

SoulSercher6204079d ago

Wow then you need to see an eye doctor if you thinks it looks bad

LackTrue4K4079d ago

i think you made a mistake, you were ment to type....

"Funny the Wii U version looks so bad it isn't even worth comparing"

don't worry, it was my pleasure to fix your mistakes....lol

Its especially funny since the Xbox360 version looked nothing like on those screenshots

ninjahunter4079d ago

Not bad for an open world portable game I guess. I suppose I was expecting a tad better after having played gravity rush.

Baylex4079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

Wait until you see it with your own eyes

ninjahunter4079d ago

Thats a given, but just from what ive seen, most random screencaps of gravity rush look better than whats seen here.

Baylex4079d ago

Yes I know what you are saying, Gravity Rush is insane, but we have only seen one screen capture of Borderlands 2. Lets wait for more!! :D

jspillen4079d ago

Yeah, "not bad" especially considering there has never been another portable AAA title of this magnitude. But sure ... expect a tad better.

Nice try troll !!! These screenshots look fantastic.

Gamesgbkiller4079d ago

Maybe because the game is ported and wasn't a VITA exclusive.

We have to wait and see the gameplay :)

ironfist924079d ago

Looks good, I think the cel-shaded graphics of the original help the transition better.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne254d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000254d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan253d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius252d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot254d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake254d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot254d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B253d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake254d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B253d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack253d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal253d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack252d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.

5 Amazing Side Quests In Games That You Need To Experience

While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim831d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno831d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
