The development cost for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, combined with the install base of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, is the determining factor for keeping Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on the previous generation of consoles.
"It's not free to build a game for next-gen," said Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford. "When you're deciding where you're going to spend your resources, I think we're going to spend all of the attention we can on the game itself.
"And if you try to imagine the set of Borderlands players that have already upgraded [to Xbox One and PlayStation 4], that's not 100 percent." The difference in users who own newer consoles but do not have an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, Pitchford explained, "is so close to nil that you can't make a business rationalization around that."
Gearbox itself isn't working on Borderlands 3, but perhaps when Xbox One and PS4 finds their audiences ballooning, we'll see a next-gen Borderlands. Until then, The Pre-Sequel may have a future in downloadable content to hold you over.

Thank you for proving my point.

Explain how that proved anything you've been blabbing about.

So they are coming out with a telltale developed "tales from the borderlands" and a standalone title at the same time? That seems odd.

They admit to working on a rehash for last gen systems because they know it will make money.
Posted on 4/9/14 at 1:57 pm to Devious
Because making something for current gen would probably lose money. It's still a business. They were going to make a game anyways. Put it out on the one most people will play it on.
You just finished your MBA. This should make sense to you.

It does. Your rationalizing the decision is what puzzles me.
Posted on 4/9/14 at 2:14 pm to Devious
You're saying that they are just putting out a game just to make money. What Pitchford said doesn't support any of that.
Now if they were sitting there going "we're not ready to release anything on next-gen, but hey, we could still plop one out for the 360 and PS3", you'd have a point, but that's more assumptions, which is like your fetish today.

Pitchford said they were making the game on previous gen because they feel a next gen project isn't profitable enough.

Again, you're assuming a game wasn't on the books to begin with.
Posted on 4/9/14 at 2:18 pm to sicboy
No I'm not.
Posted on 4/9/14 at 2:20 pm to sicboy
You guys realize you're arguing about video games, right? Who gives a frick about when, or on what platform, a money grab game is released?
