Borderlands PS3 co-op riddled with problems, Gearbox working on a fix |
Ó
If you picked up a copy of Borderlands for the PS3 hoping to get some co-op time with your friends, you may have to wait a while. Early purchasers have reported that the game's co-op mode is a mess.
According to a Fall Damage report, issues include "friends not showing up in the in-game friends list, 30 minute freezes when opening the online public game list, and lag-filled experiences if they do manage to connect."
It's one heck of a stumbling block, but PS3 gamers can take a bit of solace in the fact that developer Gearbox Software is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. Here's what Gearbox dev Vatoloco posted on the Gearbox forums:
We've identified the problem and are working on a fix.
Believe it or not, the friends feature was heavily tested by Gearbox and 2K. However, this particular issue we found could have never manifested itself in our or 2K's test environments.
WeÂ’ll find out very soon if the issue exists for the PS3 International versions of the Borderlands. If it does, weÂ’ll hopefully have a fix implemented before it affects those customers.
To those who haven't bought a copy yet, you may want to hold off until Gearbox sorts this out.

"heavily tested" obviously wasn't heavily enough.
damn just get some passionate beta testers that knit pick every damn problem or possible issue thats even involved with the game. heck, if they are passionate enough, they would probably do it for free anyway.
sounds like yet another multiplat made on the 360 and simply had a careless port to the PS3, pathetic
Why, oh why are always the PS3 versions filled with bugs, glitches and worse graphics.....
It's aight that i didn't pick it up? I'm head strong in uncharted2 rite now to care about this title
You would think part of the testing would include actually playing it on the real PSN and not on some ideal developer version of PSN....
IDK but if Borderlands were PS3 exclusive, that would never happen nor would those comments be there or the article. Kinda weird th@ 360 gets glitchy and so-so exclusives (GeOW 2, Fable 2) while PS3 always gets the Royal, bug-free exclusives (Uncharted series, InFAMOUS, KZ2). @ least they r letting us know th@ they are truly gonna fix it instead of PLATINUM and their *****ed up Bayonetta ps3 port. Do keep in mind that the PS3 does have a more complicated SDK.
But still, I wondered if what they said here "Believe it or not, the friends feature was heavily tested by Gearbox and 2K. However, this particular issue we found could have never manifested itself in our or 2K's test environments." was only meant for the 360 version.
b/c they said
"We’ll find out very soon if the issue exists for the PS3 International versions of the Borderlands." What do they mean by international???
that's what happens when you buy for PS3, everything is crap. Games? crap. Online? crap. Console itself? oh I don't know, crap? Get rid of that piece of junk already noobs get a beautiful xbox 360 and enjoy quality for once in your poor lives you only live once you know :)
hey, Kick an Xbox you damn , Fail @ Life Fanboy.
See if your failbox can run any exclusive game since your processor is based on the cell that microsoft stole... AND SHUT THE *****C UP! GET A DAMN LIFE! I was gonna buy a 360 but this people keep me away from it... damn..
touchy touchy...uncharted 2? this game is weak regardless. MP is horribly repetitive and linear and the story is sub par imo I found it difficult to sit and play this while having much fun. Graphics are good but that's got to be a first for the PS3 so I'll let you bask in your momentary glory...I know it has to be annoying getting all the cruddy games full of bugs and hardly any support from developers all the time.
