On the plus side, 60 frames per second is the target on all systems - but In order to keep frame-rates relatively consistent, dynamic resolution is in place on all consoles.

Borderlands always ran well on PC and bearing in mind that we're looking at a decade-old title here playing out on much more advanced hardware, performance is less impressive than expected. Also impressive is a bump to local split-screen play from two players to four, though online-enabled accounts are required for each participant, which is a bit of a pain.įirst impressions suggest that a decent level of thought and effort has gone into this remaster, but there are some concerns about the quality of the console conversions, particularly in terms of GPU utilisation. Characters also collect health and ammo automatically now, while the option to tweak field of view also proves welcome. These changes are small but significant, starting with the inclusion of a revised mini-map and inventory system that's much easier to handle, and similar in nature to that featured in Borderlands 2. While there are variations elsewhere between the consoles, the good news is that gameplay tweaks are consistent across the board. Interestingly though, while HDR is supported, it is restricted to consoles only - the PC version is left behind in this area. While the objective is to deliver a presentation fit for 4K displays, the same upgrades are present and correct across all versions of the game, with both base and enhanced machines delivering the same core art. Lighting and colour grading also seems significantly punchier too up against the older version.

The key visual upgrade is indeed to texture quality, with much more detail - and this may account for a 19GB download size on PC up against the original's 12GB. Without head-to-head comparisons, the initial impression when loading up the GOTY edition is that this is classic Borderlands just as you remember it - and it's fair to say that the game's cel-shaded style still manages to hold up today.

Then there are the enhanced options and quality of life improvements and the fact that PC owners of the original decade-old release get the new version for free - but just how good are the various console ports? Yes, there are clear and obvious upgrades over the original release, not least the provision for higher quality textures that ensure that the game holds up well on a modern 4K display. There's a lot that the new Borderlands: Game of the Year remaster gets right.
