I guess MP will work between EGS/Steam because they will likely use those platforms for matchmaking only, where the games will be run on the host machine like BL2/TPS.

I am fine with that.

e: where is the steam pre-order for 2020 link Randy

Wait, so you can only get the Remaster for free if you bought the GotY bundle on PC, and everyone else (Assuming the Borderlands 1 in the Handsome Collection is functionally the same) can get hosed?

Feels gross to me.

No, you're supposed to get the remaster regardless of the version of Borderlands 1 you have. Also, the handsome collection never included Borderlands 1.

Borderlands 1 isn’t in The Handsome Collection. Just 2 and TPS. Although I guess those are supposed to get minor graphical updates or something?

So hey cool news that this game is coming out in March next year. That’s just under a year from the announcement, pretty good. See you all there.

From the PS Blog post:
    Atlas now offers guns that fire tracker tags and Smart Bullets; DAHL weapons feature alternate fire modes; and the Maliwan range now incorporates firearms that can toggle between two elements and deal guaranteed elemental damage.

From the PSN deluxe preorder page:
    Equippable XP & Loot Drop Boost Mods
perhaps expected but still :barf: e:actually this kind of thing was already in BL2 where it was essentially useless. hoping for the same here.

Borderlands 2 has both of these already, so definitely expected. Except I didn't preorder so don't know how I got them, might be included as default in the Handsome Collection or something.

i guess we'll see how they write around this (poorly)

Heads up to people who, like me, may not have played Borderlands 1 for a long time, there's fall damage in this game, don't be like me and leap off a tall cliff and die at the bottom of it to fall damage, also skags are super persistent in this holy poo poo.

Nice find. Jakobs now all have ricocheting bullets. I thought all guns would have the option of having extra accessories, like a grenade launcher, but it sounds like they're limited to Vladof

E: but isn't that a grenade launcher on those bottom atlas rifles? So it's probably different kinds of attachments

One was an in game quest reward and the other was a preorder reward that ended up coming with the Mechromancer add on.

They would be crazy not to have Borderlands 3 online only/all-the-time like other games in the genre, otherwise it's hack city. People will just cheat engine their way to 999 stats and infinite rocket launchers with all mods attached and join in on coop games making everything insanely boring

A lot of people liked improving the drop rates.

Some people liked hacking in perfect versions of weapons without going overboard with cheats because of how impossible they were to get legitimately.

So I, too, care about this. I simply kick people who have bad rear end ranks that are impossible, or if they are wiping things i check their gear (TPS) to see what the story is. I'm fine with people rolling full gear for private games, but really at level perfect gear for a NVHM or early TVHM run using gear that doesn't drop until UVHM :raise:

That's not to say I don't boost the drop rate, or simply spawn npcs to avoid hour+ long grindfests (ogre farming) or even increase evolution rate for SP (vermivorous). There are boundries that simply don't work online.

Yep, and my bog standard Borderlands 1 just turned into Borderlands GOTY on my Steam library too.

I really hope these updates include multi-core rendering, because both games absolutely jam up a single core right now. Frametimes are atrocious even on my 6700k.
