Gearbox vil slippe Borderlands til PS4 og Xbox One

I morgen er det altså duket for lanseringen av Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, en pakke til Playstation 4 og Xbox One som inneholder Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel og alle DLCer til de respektive spillene. Mange har imidlertid etterlyst det første Borderlands, men det er ikke inkludert.

Dette er noe Gearbox-sjef Randy Pitchford ønsker å gjøre noe med. I Major Nelsons nyeste podcast forteller han at utgiver 2K Games kanskje kan gå med på å lage en HD-versjon av det første spillet, men det forutsetter at Borderlands: The Handsome Collection selger godt:

"The fact that The Handsome Collection has Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Borderlands 2 means there's still that original game that isn't on next-gen yet. If this is successful, I'm sure the folks at 2K, the people that care about publishing and figure out how to get content in customers' hands if customers want it, will be noticing that.

And I'd love to have those conversations about how to bring Borderlands 1 to next-gen. "If The Handsome Collection is successful enough, there might be a way to justify that, and I really hope that's the case."

Borderlands ble laget i en annen grafikkmotor, og dette gjør konverteringen mer vrien. Pitchford mener uansett at dette skal la seg gjøre:

"If [The Handsome Collection] is successful enough, there might be a way to justify that. And I really hope that's the case. I'd love to have my entire Borderlands collection on next-gen."
