Borderlands will release on Steam, have extra features

Destructoid writes:

"About an hour ago we received a tip that a couple Gearbox employees had tweeted about Borderlands coming to Steam. While many people assumed it would be inevitable, I hit up Gearbox to see if I could get official confirmation, and official confirmation I got.

Not only will Borderlands be releasing for download on Steam, Steve Gibson of Gearbox also told us about a couple additional features that will be exclusive to the PC version. Given the amount of unique weapons in the game, you'll probably end up with some sweet-looking gun that none of your friends have. Want to show it off? You'll be able to export item cards to .jpg files. Additionally, the PC version will come with timedemo benchmark software, which admittedly isn't needed for the console versions, but will be a nice touch."

Neat little extra for the PC version. Though due to my profession (and how much time I already spend on my computer) I'll be sticking to console version and I haven't decided on either the X360 or PS3 version yet.

StanLee6070d ago

I'm looking forward to this game as well. I think I'll get it on the XBox 360 since more of my friends who own that console have indicated they will be getting the game. Not a lot of people know the game is coming out though and for a new IP, I thought there would be a greater marketing push in the mainstream media.

Getting it on 360 although it looks to be great on all platforms. Wish it was cross platform somehow... the more noobs to pwn the better.

Hate to break it to you likedamaster, but if it were cross plat, you'd be the one getting pwned by PC gamers using a mouse :)

TVippy6070d ago

Yeah, like Holy "PS3 vs X360" War in Borderlands. LoL.

Shame Gearbox are lazy with PC versions of games now and they can't integrate steam for coop. Probably have some barebones half thought out garbage system for friends.

ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that

Despite Borderlands Movie Flop, Series Saw Boost in Sales; Take-Two to Be Selective on Licensing IPs

Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.

"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"

Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.

Daeloki547d ago

No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)

Polish a turd to make a what?!

So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
