I've already beaten BL2 four times and BL:TPS twice, but it was a long time ago. Maybe it's time for another play-through of all of them, especially since I've never played the first.

So while I was able to download the games on xbox and the store says I can play it, I'm not able to launch the games.

Wow. The Handsome collection on Steam is dirt cheap. Just noticed that.

Think I'll pick it up for my son for some coop action.

Reminder for PC players. There's an easy tweak that stops the loading textures effect in the game. Makes the game look better and more polished. Zero performance hit too.

The tweak got reset after the update for me, which is why I bring it up. MAkes a tremendous change in the presentation. Seeing those textures load is terrible.

So, I'm kinda confused. Just brought the Handsome Collection on Steam, and redeemed the ultra HD textures.

Does it just play with the new textures by default, do I have to toggle them or what?

[Search for the following by going to Edit, then Find or (control+f)]

MipFadeInSpeed0=0.3

[Change to] MipFadeInSpeed0=0

MipFadeInSpeed1=2.0

[Change to] MipFadeInSpeed1=0

Note:

It's slightly different in the remaster. The file location is the same (C:\Users\[username]\Documents\my games\Borderlands Game of the Year\WillowGame\Config\WillowEngine.ini), but you're looking for MipLevelFadingInRate and MipLevelFadingOutRate.

That sounds good, could you link it?

EDIT: Thanks :P

I wonder if the pack downloads and works fine on Linux, since Borderlands 2 and TPS each have a native build...

I'm gonna guess it's not the same for Pre-Sequel? Can't find that in the ini file..

edit:I guess they baked it in for the game in pre-sequel as a setting

For some reason Borderlands could never hold my attention. Tried to start this game 3 or 4 times over the years and I never put more than 4 hours into a single play-through.

Might have to try again with this update, not sure why it loses me.

This is for the BL1 GotY Enhanced version that released to day I assume?

How does this differ from the in-game setting of "Texture Fade-in: Off"?

I just booted up Borderlands 2 on my PS4 Pro, and immediately I can tell that these gun textures are nice and sharper than they were before.

This game has aged just as well as Burnout: Paradise, and the new textures (like the wanted posters) are crazy detailed. The framerate holds up well from what I've played, minus some obnoxious loading hitches if you're speeding through the areas. I fired up my LVL 41 zer0 to finally complete Captain Scarlet's story (meh) and started TVHM with my LVL 37 Gaige. So much content to tuck back into before the release of 3.

Oddly enough, that update also changed how Angel shows up on the screen. Wonder why they bothered with that.

Hmm so I checked the DLC section on main menu on my PS4 Pro and it says the Ultra HD pack is downloaded but not installed? I let it take me to the store and it says installed there

How can I confirm if the pack is actually installed or not????

Looks great on Pro, honestly impressed. Just wish we knew the actual res and frame rate comparison between that and the X version.

Speaking of, should I skip BL1? I'm enjoying it but my friends are recommending that I play BL2 instead because it's much better. I'm worried that I'd burn out on BL by the time I get to BL2.

Listen to your friends. There's really nothing worth revisiting in BL1, except for the origins of tragic hero Claptrap.

At PS4 OS menu go to the game, press options button on the Dualshock and select Information, at "Installed Add-Ons" select View.

The improvement to overall environment quality from the UHD textures on PC is kind of blowing me away.

This almost feels like a BL2.5
