Borderlands 3 was a PS4 title so I don't think it'd take a huge amount of work to pare it back enough to run on Switch.

T-that's not how things work lol
Borderlands 3 scale is wayyy bigger.
One would hope that a directors cut is a more optimised experience.
And imo it kinda ran like butt at times, especially on my base PS4. Runs like a dream on PS5 though.
This is really important so I need to know. The quality of the rest of my day crucially depends on it.
So here goes.
Is... Is this going to tie in with the Borderlands Cinematic Universe?

It's not a cloud game it's a native port. By the same port studios who ported first three games.
And I think cloud gaming on Switch is kinda dead. A failed experiment. Nothing has followed Control and Hitman 3. They don't need a porting process, all they have to do is upload the damn game.

It was the worst performing game i've ever seen on my PS4 Pro at launch. So a bit of skepticism seems healthy.
I wouldn't be so quick to write off more cloud games. We know RE3R is planned for instance, and I think RE8 too.
Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't happen.
I dont have a pro but i seriously doubt Borderlands 3 ran worse than Xcom2
Wasnt everyone convinced the Witcher 3 would also be a cloud version and then it turned out to be a native port lol
Gotta assume it's a Cloud release. Though I could theoretically see Fractured Byte putting together a port.
Well for me it did. In any of the graphics modes.
Aside from FPS issues, crashes, bugs, tearing, freezes, sound bugs etc. the game also has an even smaller and less readable UI/ UX than its predecessors (even in 4k on a 60"). So they'd have to invest heavily into some UI alterations to make a Switch version viable.
Huh, bit surprising as the game can be pretty demanding at times even on PC.
I wish they got the Doom Eternal port studio on it instead of the devs behind the previous Borderlands ports. Thsoe ports apparently had some quality issues here and there that I'm not sure were ever fixed.

usually directors cut versions of games are like "GOTY" version with all content and optimizations and stuff, i dont blame anyone for thinking that
but in pitchfordish it means "shitty dlc"
Well I guess that makes sense, but surely the optimisation here we're talking about would be major engine level stuff.
Every Switch cloud game has had "cloud" somewhere in the title. This does not.
I'm not doubting you, but every time an 'impossible' port is hinted at for the Switch, someone always mentions previous ports and then theres always a comment of "yeah but this game isn't as optimized as that game.'
And outside of Ark, (and before patching, Outer Worlds) they mostly turn out totally fine.
Borderlands 3 Director's Cut is the name of the second part of the BL3 season pass 2, not a new version of the entire game.
But I guess they could use the name for the switch release of the game with all dlc or something.

Unless they have completely overhauled and re-optimised the base game, I don't see this running well at all native. 720p and below, cut effects, low setting or below textures and some more aggressive LOD culling might help. If they can get it running at 30fps solidly I'd be impressed.
Then again, it couldn't be worse than BL2 PSPVita

....that's what i said
And there's already a name for a version with base game + both season passes and all other pre-order trinkets they gave
Lol you must not be happy with DLC6's existence huh
It sure does, holy shit.
Better, since BL2 was running at like 15fps constant later in the game.
Let's all hope for better, BL2 on Vita was like a powerpoint presentation of a shooter (with muddy graphics!)
Doesn't this game have performance and quality modes on PS4? What's stopping them from doing 1080p/30 or even 720p/30? This'll be a native port.
