It’s been two years now since the Vita is among us and we haven’t really seen PlayStation put their marketing muscle behind the device. They’ve been making games for Xbox 360 and PS3 since 2009. Luckily Iron Galaxy, the studio Vita gamers know best for their smart minimalistic fighter Divekick are the ones working on the Borderlands port.

If anything these what I feel are rushed entries or in the case of Fifa 13 a mere re-skined version of an older version hurt the perception of what a good Vita game can be more than it helps the system. Vita games like Resistance Burning Skies, Call of Duty Declassified and to an extent Madden and Fifa 13 are to blame. The third party support or Vita, specifically when we look at the quality of blockbuster titles that make a Vita appearance, doesn’t instill me with great confidence that Borderlands 2 is going to be a great game. The reason for my scepticism is that we don’t know how well this port is going to turn out.

The existence of this game isn’t a surprise but knowing that the release is just around the corner gets me both excited and weary at the same time. Sony will even bundle the game with the Vita Slim which is now also officially announced for US/EU territories.Ĭlearly Sony believes that the Borderlands brand has the potential to be a system seller. The Vita version consists of 6 DLC packs and supports cross save with the PlayStation 3. Last week we learned that Borderlands 2 will be available for Vita this spring.
