2009’s Borderlands was a great game, but that’s not to say it wasn’t without its problems. Â Some issues that tormented adopters of the new franchise are thankfully being remedied this time around, according to Matt Charles in recent Q&A on the PlayStation Blog.
Charles touched on numerous subjects, ranging from voice chat and framerate fixes, to vehicular combat and user interface enhancements. Â Thankfully though, major issues like voice chat are being worked on so that “they will be working for everyone when the game launches.” Â Charles also said that framerates “will see an improvement over the first game.”
Alongside the technical improvements to Borderlands 2, some new customization details were also spilled:
“You’ll be able to choose from a large variety of swappable heads/hairstyles/headgear in addition to choosing from hundreds of unique color and decal themes, and both together offer a ton of options in customization. Â As for skills, each class offers a bigger quantity and more interesting variety of skills to choose from in the skill trees”
Borderlands 2 is due out on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on September 18th.
