A Borderlands compilation is therefore coming to our gleaming latest-generation consoles. Very well. First reflex: make the call. And boom, already a problem. As Don Sallust would say in La Folie des Grandeurs: one is missing. Yes, one of Borderlands adventure is missing, and not least since it is the first, the original, which mysteriously evaporated. It's nerd, even if it means making a compilation on a series that only has three games, you might as well not miss it... Seen from another angle, we can also point out that the title contains the very recent Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, only released on PS3 and Xbox 360 last fall in a somewhat surprising way… to finally appear as one of the two titles of this "compilation" for PS4 and Xbox One! It's all very calculated, but let's move on.
NEVER 2 WITHOUT 3 ?
In the end, therefore, there remains Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel (of which you can find the complete tests here and there), with all their DLCs released to date, in a 1080p and 60fps version of rigor in 2015 to attract the customer. If it were still necessary to specify it, these two opuses are generally very successful, in particular Borderlands 2 which really boosted the series towards success, while its sequel offered players some significant new gameplay features such as management weightlessness or oxygen on Pandora's moon. The loot system is still just as addictive, the punchlines of the characters and the WTF atmosphere give a unique style to the two titles and the gigantic lifespan, further extended by the presence of all the additional content, still guarantees a good package of fun. hours of fun, especially with several people.
The game with three or four on one and the same screen is finally the real novelty, but you will have to plan a 50 inch before considering big orgies in underpants with your friends.
Visually, we are dealing with the equivalent of the PC versions and if, like yours truly, you have already played these games with keyboard and mouse, you will not necessarily feel the need to return to them with the controller, with a grip in less precise hands. Especially since this involves day one patches of 16 GB on Xbox One and 8 GB on PS4, which do not erase the few technical pitfalls of the game (slowdowns during cutscenes, clipping of textures). The game with three or four on one and the same screen is finally the real novelty, but you will have to plan a 50 inch before considering big orgies in underpants with your friends. At €50 or €60, depending on where you find Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, it's undeniably expensive. By way of comparison, you can buy the three episodes of the series for half the price on PC (and I'm not talking about Steam sales), or the two episodes of this compilation on PS3 and Xbox 360. We therefore leave you the choice.
