Pretty sure the first game doesn't have physxYeah, haven't played this game in years. I reinstalled it last night, touched it a bit and was shocked by the flat textures. This game with physx and smooth fps and the HD textures is amazing. Looks amazing on my ultrawide also
Oh wow, holy shit.Can report on BL2 at least the HD texture pack does not overflow a 3GB 1060's VRAM, sitting around 2.6gb with everything maxxed at 1800p. Performance is the same. Just FYI for those of you with lower end cards.
New HD textures look good:
Oh wow, holy shit.
Have they just been sitting on all these high-res textures this whole time? How's something like this typically work? They would have had to render all the pre-rendered cutscenes again too. Is it common for devs to keep all these assets?
To add to this I dont have a pro eitherSo if I dont have a 4k display i shouldnt bother downloading the texture pack for ps4 right?
"4K textures" doesn't mean textures for 4K screens. It just means higher resolution textures and you'll benefit from it regardless of what resolution you play the game at. Plenty of original textures are 512*512 in size, increasing them to 2048*2048 or 4096*4096 would mean you see benefits in texture clarity...even if you play at 1080P.To add to this I dont have a pro either
Will it do anything for me for a base ps4 om a 1080p tv?
Game looks great on a macro scale as well, I think the improved textures helps even the lower LoD models at distance. These sceles looked quite awful originally but now look quite great.
I guess you would need more RAM for that, despite not being only at 1080p? Does base PS4 have enough for that?"4K textures" doesn't mean textures for 4K screens.

Well, now it doesn't have those issues with PhysX set to high. Praise be.It was always ran good on PC, only Physx maxed out caused big framerate drops.
Can't say for sure since I don't have the equipment to check, but it's pretty damn sharp.
Handsome collection for $15 is a no brainierI'm debating picking up this game for 15 or the Borderlands GOTY for 30 dollars. What should I do?
Yeah thats what I thought but it also seems like it isn't even applicable if I don't have a pro?"4K textures" doesn't mean textures for 4K screens.

BL2 has a shitton more content and more interesting skill trees. Even if BL2 was 30 and BL1 was 15 I would recommend BL2. The fact that it's half price and includes the pre sequel really is a no brainer.I remember liking the tone and vault hunters of BL1 a little bit more but I still liked BL2

Why does clicking "Download" on the Steam page for the Ultra HD Texture Pack just launch the game?
Edit: Ahh... There it goes, it also added the texture pack to my downloads. Dunno why it would launch the game before downloading it.
I took a quick comparison shot, if anybody's interested. Didn't have the time to do it in multiple places so picked one place that would maybe show the most obvious differences (especially that really bad texture on the right).
Original
New patch, original textures
New patch, new textures
They seem to have completely redrawn that awful texture on the right, and the guns look a lot better. Everything else has very subtle differences.
Yea indeed. But it isn't like PS4 would lack the ram when it comes to this game. The game was made to fit in 512MB of RAM on PS360. Even with increased resolution it won't come anywhere close to using the RAM available on PS4.I guess you would need more RAM for that, despite not being only at 1080p? Does base PS4 have enough for that?
It's disappointing compared to 2 and has a barebones endgame but it hasThat's true but I remember hearing the pre sequel was disappointing? Is it pretty good in hindsight?
See the previous page. Not an issue.any body got some numbers on how much the changes affect performance? (assuming VRAM is not an issue). Specifically for Borderlands 2.
Yeah I've been unable to download the HD texture pack for a couple of hours, it only just started.Why does clicking "Download" on the Steam page for the Ultra HD Texture Pack just launch the game?
Edit: Ahh... There it goes, it also added the texture pack to my downloads. Dunno why it would launch the game before downloading it.
Yeah, BL2 looks so much more sharp now, even at 1080p. It doesn't feel as much like a 7th gen game now, it's a real improvement.
Well, now it doesn't have those issues with PhysX set to high. Praise be.
I think it specifically just had some problems with modern PCs that they've ironed out.
What's this page say?if i have borderlands 2 stand alone and not from the handsome package, is there still a way to get the texture pack?
The patch resets your graphics options to the lowest, on PC. Unless you're on console, I dunno then.this is wierd. i have been playing BL2 for some weeks now. and i booted it up today before the HD patch. and the game downloaded a 300mb+ patch. and i think the game got a downgrade in the graphics. it looks worse then yesterday. models and fade on textures are shitty now
I may have spoken a bit soon on performance. There's definitely some improvements, looking out on the town in the Southern Shelf from the graveyard caused dips before, and it doesn't now. But there seems to still be dips during intense firefights, on my GTX 1080 at 1080p.Wait, they fixed the Physx issue?
Then how in the world did that Candyland video have drops to almost 30fps on a 2080ti?
I'm more confused than ever.
Edit: oh theres a glitch??
Yes. With a lot of drops below 60 compared to none Ultra HD patch.
