I am bursting friends, I am simply bursting. Check out this hot slice of digital news, served up fresh, unlike the new/old game I am about to tell you about. All I can say is, I hope you got your ticket to wonderland, cuz we are going there.
During the live presentation at PAX East, Gearbox finally confirmed the (apparently) long-rumored Borderlands 1 Remaster is actually happening, to the jubilant squeals of a million fanboys. Their womanish shrieks reached a fever pitch when they found out the rehashed game will be launching on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on Wednesday, April 3rd.
I just ruined my jockeys.
According to Gearbox, this redone remaster will be the so-called definitive version of the game and since no one has played this title to death, over and over again, this is very, very good news for pretty much anyone who likes anything. Going above and beyond the arguably non-existent call, this most definitive of versions will include the base game and all DLC from almost a decade ago (unprecedented!), and will introduce new weapons, gameplay enhancements, quality of life improvements and some visual upgrades that could only described by Gearbox as "substantial".
Now, what does "substantial" actually entail? Bro. Glad. You. Asked. It means better lighting! Boom! We're talking upgraded textures! Unheard of! Upgraded character models! Whaaaat? AND 4k and HDR on supported consoles. Time to get your MF'ing wallets out fools, cuz we GOTTA get that 4K vision on a game from 2009.
Add to that, you know, everything that was already in the game from damn near ten years ago, and this is going to be the end all of remastered, re-released definitive editions. I literally can't wait. I just can't. I have to have it now. NOW.
Thank the Space God and the Man Jesus that the brand new, old Borderlands 1 Remaster is less than a week away.
Watch the trailer below, but make sure you strap on a pair of huggies first. You're about to see a trailer for a game you've already played and bought, but now? It. Looks. More. Better.
