Take your own advice? What games do they have not on some other developer’s engine? Other than their initial expansions for Half-Life, which are basically mods for Half-Life, all the games I know they have done were built on various iterations of Unreal Engine.
I have. Oddly enough, I don’t remember any Gearbox game with a Gearbox engine?
Don’t you guys have
phones90-series graphics cards?I don’t need to be a three star Michelin chef to realize that the plate of shit I have just been served is in fact a plate of shit. Similarly, I also don’t need to be a game developer to see that the buggy mess of a game gearbox just released is not worth my time.
Gonna keep repeating it until it sticks:
Don’t touch Gearbox shit. They showed their true colours when they embezzled Colonial Marines.
I think it should be taken a bit further and just don’t buy anything from 2K if you can.
Pitchford’s brain dead takes killed any chance that I was going to play Borderlands 4.
Takes me back to 2008 and Rockstar claiming that GTA 4… was designed for hardware that didn’t exist yet after that shit show of a shitty port to PC… It would be a further 6yrs before I could play that game at a reliable 19080p, 60fps… then GTA5 came out a year later.
No wonder you couldn’t play it. 19080p, mother of God!
19080p in 16:9 is 33,920X19,080 =647,193,600 pixels, 647 megapixels. 8K is 33.2 megapixels. So this dude is playing GTA 4 on a screen that has almost 20 times more pixels than an 8K screen
A game designed for hardware that doesn’t exist yet on a monitor that doesn’t exist yet.
My bro’s gaming on a freakin Jumbotron
I mean… You first?
I think that’s exactly his point.

Randy, you molest your employees with that mouth?!
Cheaping out on optimization is one thing, telling customers to basically eat shit if they have a problem with it is… something that‘s not gonna have any major consequences nowadays, I guess lol
What a time we live in
Yeah I’m pretty sure for $70 a functional engine should be the bare minimum.
What a fucking chode.
I wasn’t going to buy this game at all, but now I really won’t buy it.
What an ass.
I was gonna buy it when it was 50% off with the dlcs included. Now, gotta see that performance first.
Oh, I was unaware randy coded unreal engine all by himeself. I take back every negative thing i ever said about the fucking Twat
Yeah, fucking what?
What the fuck does that even mean?
Randy is… what… when was the last time this asshat even wrote any code, much an less engine?
20 years?
No, seriously, when actually was the last time he wrote any code?
He founded Gearbox in 99… and by 2005, they liscensed UE 3… prior to that, they’d been working with UE2… and Source…
I think you have to back prior to Gearbox, to Duke Nukem 3D and Lo Wang, to find somewhere Randy may actually have contributed to game engine code.
In conclusion: Fuck you Randy.
You’d think since 2005 they’d be experienced enough to know how to work with UE but noooo…
To be fair, it seems only Epic themselves know how to fuck around with UE5 nowadays. That nanite lighting, temporal antialiasing and dithering everything makes everything look like ass. Games from 2016 look better
My friend with a RX 7900 XT can barely run it.
At 1080p.
On Medium.
Shove it up your ass, Gearbox.
Is he running with antialiasing on?
Looking at their system settings page:
https://borderlands.2k.com/borderlands-4/news/amd-optimization/
Their settings for every single GPU listed there seem to have antialiasing off.
It may be that current hardware can’t do that at a reasonable clip
I’ve read reports that people can’t get more than 30fps on low settings on 4000 series cards. I’m definitely not one to expect sweet 120fps on ultra on launch day, but a 4000 card not even getting low settings? They failed. Hard.
Hey guys, you know what we really need for a IP property that is famous for a rather simplistic cel shaded art style?
The most complicated realtime lighting and rendering engine in the world.
… I could smack him with a fucking book, holy shit this is so stupid.
Don’t you know that gamers demand hyper realistic graphics? Even when there is a defined art style it doesn’t matter. Realism.
It’s famously why comic books failed to captivate anyone, and cartoons are never successful.
I can’t believe no one buy silksong and cuphead because it is 2d and it isn’t hyperrealistic. Sorry team cherry and MDHR, you guys failed.
2D pixel games without realtime raytracing and perfect light simulations never ever sold
