The fact that gearbox was able to put an entire game on psvita but can’t put any gear higher than legendary in borderlands 3 really says how lazy they got over the years..,
i LOVED the transferring character feature, once i had BL2 on my ps3 i’d transfer my lvl 50 Axton and farm warrior. if i were to leave the house, i’d transfer him back to the vita and play on the go.
My very first experience with BL was on the vita. Despite it being incredibly slow and choppy, I loved the game as a kid. I spent hours farming just like anyone else, now imagine that with 2-3 minute loading screens between. I also never had DLC’s available aside from the first and second so when i got the ultimate edition on my PC, an entire new scope on the game was unleashed. I still love BL to this day, and idc what anyone says but having it accesible on the vita was great and i’ll forever look back on those memories with awe.
I had to look up cassette video games after reading this comment because I've never heard of them and I couldn't understand how that would even work. The technology is very interesting

Vitas online services still exist, the 2020 announcement was just that you can no longer use the webstore on pc or phone to buy games and have to do it on the console its self
I still play the vita version regularly on my train ride to work, it's rough even with modded vita overclocked. I also hate that the devs who patched game fucked up and made the game worse by making a lot of enemies partly invisible while in deception.
I got this game at launch but really didn't start playing it until a buddy of mine talked me into getting the Handsome collection which is when I started playing BL for the first time and fell in love with it, and then I remembered I had it on Vita. And at the time I really had a great time with it, the frame rate and graphics didn't really bother me too much, it was really impressive how much of the game was in there, and I would do a bunch of side missions to level up on the vita and then play with my friend on the PS4 when he was online. The biggest issue I had with it was it did crash and brick my vita a few times, it had to be pushing the limits of the Vita's memory constraints. But nowadays its hard to go back and play it that way, when you can even remote play this game and its a far better experience that playing this running on a vita.
5:32 the vita does still have online and you can still buy games on the store it just has to be on the console itself or on a ps3 the only problem is you can’t add funds to those accounts so you have to put the funds on a ps4/5 and then buy your game or used a PlayStation gift card
I'm actually downloading to my stock PSTV right now [Aug. 18, 2024], and may I mention the fact that they released a patch to allow me to do that is yet another amazing detail about this game that can not and should not be overlooked!! *re: Vita lovers of Borderlands 2* "You matter" lol ❤
Bro, I remember buying this game on sale many years ago. I could not believe this was running on my vita. I remember right after you find Havelock at the beginning. I switched the network on and found a guy playing. We were both excited to find another person playing it. I just couldn't believe i was playing bl2 online, chatting with another person on my vita! It was just amazing! Never found that guy again. Miss the old times.
Bro i remember doing yardwork for my grandma to buy the Vita Bundle! That sunburn was so worth it even if the game wasnt great. I still spent an insane amount of hours into it
what are you talking about here at 5:40, im still able to go online and do multiplayer on PS3 and PSVita for free. because you didnt have to pay for online back then. transfaring still works with the MGS HD collection.
I just started playing and its awesome. Also, maybe it’s just me, but are the legendary drop rates for bosses increased? I’ve gotten a legendary from 2 bosses in a row the first time I killed them. Great vid!
I love this port and play it all the time. Cross save does still work. I have passed saves between ps5/ps4/vita with no problem. I did it to pass gear to my other characters last week. Its a rough port with hella issues, but its so damn portable that I put up with it.
I'm playing borderlands 2 on my psvita everyday lol that's why I watch your vids your the best bro but about the frame rate it's running very smooth for me I have the vita 2000 the one your using is the 1000 model which was the first model I know there's no differences between the two but there's a year difference the 2000 came out 3 years after the first so there might be some upgrades besides the Bluetooth
You can still transfer your saves between the vita and PS3 versions, I do it regularly, especially since one of the side missions is bugged on the vita so transferring to PS3 gets it done. You can even do it to the PS4 version too
I use to download and upload my characters online constantly. Since I would play with my cousin online, I would upload my character we would play with when we played co op and when I would go over to his house I would download it on his ps4. Then when I would leave his house, I would do it vice versa.
5:32 They actually reverted that after outrage, you can still play online on some PS3/vita games but a lot of games individually had there servers shutdown.
@@0fficalHellfireYeah the store is still up, and a few games still have online multiplayer available. I play the Vita CoD online fairly regularly and it is still VERY active, with both new and veteran players even today 12 years on.
"i don't want to jailbreak the device" but why though, it's super easy and will actually allow you to fix some issues vitas have like the battery controller going on the fritz and needing a reset or using the GPU at it's max clocks to get more stable FPS for minimal loss in playtime.
@@whoslistening the most common problem with vitas is the battery controller shitting itself, putting henkaku enso on a vita is basically mandatory if you wanna keep the damn thing functional. it's ignorance at it's finest.
@@arcticowl1091 Not ignorance it's called preservation and strictly preference in maintaining original hardware/content. It's like with my PS2 I like it not modded due to the fact that I buy and collect discs, it's a better feeling than just downloading 100's of games and sticking them onto a memory card and playing them.
@@whoslistening collecting discs is fine, but your disc drive won't last much longer, ps2 lasers burn out all the time because the console is 24 years old now, discs also "rot" where the epoxy used to adhere the data layer to the polycarbonate underside starts falling apart, making the disc unreadable. Backing up your physical media to storage you can renew like harddrives or SSDs ensures you're actually preserving your media and not just crossing your fingers and hoping the inevitable doesn't happen.
BL2 on the Vita was my main-version for like 3 years xD Didn't have anyhting else to play BL on at the time. Still to this day the Vita version is SOMEHOW the version that I have the most playthroughs/characters in 😭 No clue how I had the patience and dedication to pour so much time into this broken mess lmfao
You work with what you got and man to say I still don’t get enjoyment out of it today would be a lie. There’s just something so satisfying about such a MASSIVE game on this tiny little device that you can slide in your pocket
You can swap saves between the Ps4 Port of Borderlands 2 in the the handsome jack collection and the Vita as well. I imagine it would be the same if you get it in the Pandoras box collection too.
I loved the novelty of this game on the Vita. I wish more 3rd party developers ported the game to the system. Compromised, but still viable like the PSP or more recently the Switch. I still think about the canceled Bioshock port. My only issue with this version is that is shares the same trophy list as the PS3. So since I had already gotten the platinum on PS3 I didn't have much motivation to get far with the Vita version.
Yo id never bring out my psvita to play this nowadays i mean if i want it on the go i have steam deck or even the switch port... but damn this was so cool back in the day
Hell yeah! I’ve beaten it twice on the vita, started a Kreig the night before I finished and posted this video. Been playing it a bit in my off time when I’m away from the pc. Getting ready to kill bunker is where I left off, even with its flaws I genuinely still enjoy it and this video was so much fun that it made me want to play it on there again!
I started playing this version recently and tbh, aside from a few framerate drops, it’s a great port. The entire game plus all its DLC’s for only like $20 that you can take wherever you want is a STEAL. Great timekiller when I don’t have access to my PS5. Say what you want about it, the fact this was even possible on the Vita is a testament to its sheer power and potential. Game like this, Killzone Mercenary that uses a slightly modified version of the Killzone 3 engine, the full port of NFS Most Wanted 2012, Wipeout HD/Fury being ported down as DLC for 2048, the Vita was an absolute beast. I can only imagine what games we would’ve gotten in an alternate timeline where the Vita succeeded in the West. Maybe Skyrim, inFAMOUS, God of War? Edit: Oops, I didn’t realize it doesn’t have ALL DLC’s. My bad
@@0fficalHellfire I was playing the Firehawk cult side quest while listening to this video lol. I also have the og model and can confirm the game makes my console want to turn into a nuclear bomb
@@morsecode980 haha, I started a Kreig the night before this vid dropped of mine and I’ve just been continuing him in my off time away from the pc, currently on the bunker :) it’ll be my third play through I’ve finished on vita. It may be slower and a little uglier but damn man. It’s just so charming
@@0fficalHellfire I first played it on PS3 but only played a little bit for some reason. I was going through my old PSN downloads on Vita and noticed I had the Vita version of the game (I forgot Crossbuy was a thing) so I decided to give it a go. I’m in college and currently my PS5 is packed away in my stuff while I’m out traveling for the summer. Vita’s great for long plane rides fs
I play it every now and then on the Vita TV while on vacation. Of course it performs the same way. I do like having Borderlands on a memory card though.
Not near as bad, people compare it to Xbox one and ps4, I’ve never played but it’s biggest draw back is having a damage cap. Which I’m sure you can assume how that would hurt especially on op10
Well the port for Borderlands 3 is actually pretty good on my switch lite it runs at unlocked framerate and can reach 45 fps in some areas. They had to scale back the assets in the game though to achieve this and it's only 2 player co-op like the vita version.
imo, the linux version of bl2 is the definitive version. no banner ads for bl3 or the movie, no op10, only op8, and you still have access to blcmm if you want some mods. Haven't tried the python sdk mods yet, since I do still use my windows character saves, but I've heard it's possible if you aren't using proton
@@tippiebekfast to some op levels entirely are bad, so you either like commander Lilith for introducing optional op levels, but for the fans of op levels, voracidous and hyperius are broken at op10, and the power creep from adding the levels just worsened more gear. Now you have to use the power crept version of weapons found in the dlc, or else you're just gonna have a hard time
I've never played this on PSVita, but from gameplay I've seen it's not good. I do own this on Switch, I think it caps out at 30 FPS. I don't have a problem with that, it's still perfectly playable and I've never noticed any frame drops either. Loading screens on Switch are also shorter than on PS4
for me at leas\t on an og vita, the game froze several times and at one point basically bricked my vita temporarily. froze and i couldnt do anything. had to run the battery out completely. very cool that they were able to port it but if you want a portable bl2 id recommend just getting it on switch or steam deck
another funny note, bl2 on ps3 had a memory leak issue that caused the game to crash and you had to hard reboot your console. it was so bad for me it messed up something in ps3 and my games would freeze about 15 or so minutes into playing something. tried with digital and physical games. had to wait for a systems update before it finally fixed it.
i used to play bl2 on the vita and i never remembered it being slow and choppy, even in the late game. it was basically like playing the ps3 port (which is what i norm play) with slightly worse graphics
Sadly for this version of the game in the current most up to date patch, Zer0 is basically useless. There is a game breaking bug with him that has never been fixed, where if you use his action skill where he goes invisible, so does literally every enemy too. It makes this version even more difficult to play, I still love it though as flawed as it is.
also you can play it in the steam deck too instead of switch and if you have been playing on pc the steam cloud is free withouth any fee borderlands 2 is compatible but is still no verify to these day I personaly I own a steam deck oled and switch but and a pc but rn i just prefer to play it on a pc and the steam deck because the steam cloud makes more easier stay on pc but thats not everyones case I hope this data also comes to the mind that in steam deck is fully compatible excep by the text chat idk how to use it but theres ways to conect an bluetoth mini keyboard and just type from there
I have a jailbroken slim I bought to play borderlands and lemme tell you no it doesn’t disappoint as long as you jailbreak your vita to get the most outta the specs but after jailbreak and vita graphics I’ve hit 60fps on the vita lol no lie and it still has online capabilities I’ve transferred a level 80 siren to vita and she loaded in but the enemies stay level 61 but for borderlands on the go I love it personally (like what nigga I’m in the Uber blasting the beehawk) in 2024 at that 🎉
jailbreaking takes 10 minutes max lmao such a copout for just recording off your phone instead of via obs off usb capture. Psvita modding litterally is a single url link u open in the psvita and just sit back 😂
Why wouldn't you wanna jailbreak the VITA? Probably the best thing you could do.... and its piss easy. I love my VITA, only cos its jailbroken tho, same with my PS3/4/5.
Oh yeah you can only do 2 player online multiplayer and it runs even worse when you have someone in your lobby, The console cannot handle the abilitys of both vault hunters and its open microphone so you will hear nothing but reverb and infinite echos from the other persons vita
It's not the best 15-20fps and limitations of all areas, same goes still on any switch game 😅, but since Bl2 launch it has had its issues on all platforms and still rips frames even high end pcs
If you think that is what "any Switch games" is like you need to check out some actual Switch games. Try Borderlands 3 on Switch it is a million times more successful than Borderlands 2 on Vita.
Before I watch this video, to me It's totally unplayable without jailbreaking and overclocking your vita/PSTV You'll get a superior handheld experience on switch and on something like steamdeck and asus ROG
I had the PS Vita I did love it but at the same time there's only like five excellent games the rest of my crap now that the older the system no more updates and all that I sold mine mine was white
BL3 and wonderland loading times on the ps4 are awful as a father who works 50+ hours a week. Sometimes I only have around 30 minutes to game. It really sucks😢
i use the psvita 2000 perma mod and using vitashell to max oc and vitagrafix to optimize my resolution trsut me it gets better and better until then if you set it up right on the resolution scale which is the framescale to i dont remember much vita has so much potential but sony doesnt get it much and modders community is making the psvita alive more and more than sony can
The fact that gearbox was able to put an entire game on psvita but can’t put any gear higher than legendary in borderlands 3 really says how lazy they got over the years..,

Not near as bad, people compare it to Xbox one and ps4, I’ve never played but it’s biggest draw back is having a damage cap. Which I’m sure you can assume how that would hurt especially on op10
Well the port for Borderlands 3 is actually pretty good on my switch lite it runs at unlocked framerate and can reach 45 fps in some areas. They had to scale back the assets in the game though to achieve this and it's only 2 player co-op like the vita version.
They are really good actually.
imo, the linux version of bl2 is the definitive version. no banner ads for bl3 or the movie, no op10, only op8, and you still have access to blcmm if you want some mods. Haven't tried the python sdk mods yet, since I do still use my windows character saves, but I've heard it's possible if you aren't using proton
I dont see how op10 is a downside
@@tippiebekfast to some op levels entirely are bad, so you either like commander Lilith for introducing optional op levels, but for the fans of op levels, voracidous and hyperius are broken at op10, and the power creep from adding the levels just worsened more gear. Now you have to use the power crept version of weapons found in the dlc, or else you're just gonna have a hard time
Anyone have a lv61 character with legendary weapons? I can't find anithing, only lv50 :(
5:46 yes, I transferred level 12 zero😂 to my ps4
Oh damn, I didn’t know it could be transferred to ps4 as well, that’s dope (unless you made a typeo)
I've never played this on PSVita, but from gameplay I've seen it's not good.
I do own this on Switch, I think it caps out at 30 FPS. I don't have a problem with that, it's still perfectly playable and I've never noticed any frame drops either. Loading screens on Switch are also shorter than on PS4
for me at leas\t on an og vita, the game froze several times and at one point basically bricked my vita temporarily. froze and i couldnt do anything. had to run the battery out completely. very cool that they were able to port it but if you want a portable bl2 id recommend just getting it on switch or steam deck
another funny note, bl2 on ps3 had a memory leak issue that caused the game to crash and you had to hard reboot your console. it was so bad for me it messed up something in ps3 and my games would freeze about 15 or so minutes into playing something. tried with digital and physical games. had to wait for a systems update before it finally fixed it.
I need to see a bloodsplotion krieg build on the PS vita for ... research purposes
Funny enough I started a Kreig in preparation for this video on there 😂
i can send you a clip 😏 im hellborned tf out it crashed once😭😭
I just got weezerd by a borderlands video
Southern Shelf ran like a dream then it got jankier thereon in for me
I miss my vita btw I did take advantage of the save feature between ps3 and vita I just play bl2 on switch when I’m on the go now
I had it on play station 3 so I never got it on my vita after the reviews came out I was turned off
The controls for the vita I don't find that bad, I actually think the dead zones on the vita are a lot better than on the switch when I play BL3 on it
6:00 facts right here
i used to play bl2 on the vita and i never remembered it being slow and choppy, even in the late game. it was basically like playing the ps3 port (which is what i norm play) with slightly worse graphics
BL2 on vita is Rough.
Even though i love portables.
😊👍
I miss my wonderful PSP.😢
Sadly for this version of the game in the current most up to date patch, Zer0 is basically useless.
There is a game breaking bug with him that has never been fixed, where if you use his action skill where he goes invisible, so does literally every enemy too.
It makes this version even more difficult to play, I still love it though as flawed as it is.
Cap :P the Bl2 vita was the slim, you are using the OLED one hahaha. Good vid though. They abandoned this game mid optimization unfortunately
He said in the vid he traded the slim that it came with for the original
also you can play it in the steam deck too instead of switch and if you have been playing on pc the steam cloud is free withouth any fee borderlands 2 is compatible but is still no verify to these day I personaly I own a steam deck oled and switch but and a pc but rn i just prefer to play it on a pc and the steam deck because the steam cloud makes more easier stay on pc but thats not everyones case I hope this data also comes to the mind that in steam deck is fully compatible excep by the text chat idk how to use it but theres ways to conect an bluetoth mini keyboard and just type from there
jailbreaking a vita takes maybe 30 minutes
I have a jailbroken slim I bought to play borderlands and lemme tell you no it doesn’t disappoint as long as you jailbreak your vita to get the most outta the specs but after jailbreak and vita graphics I’ve hit 60fps on the vita lol no lie and it still has online capabilities I’ve transferred a level 80 siren to vita and she loaded in but the enemies stay level 61 but for borderlands on the go I love it personally (like what nigga I’m in the Uber blasting the beehawk) in 2024 at that 🎉
in bl2 we farmed at bar
jailbreaking takes 10 minutes max lmao such a copout for just recording off your phone instead of via obs off usb capture. Psvita modding litterally is a single url link u open in the psvita and just sit back 😂
Thank Zed borderlands 2 on the switch is a little better 😆
They should have the the first game on there, it might’ve run better
Why wouldn't you wanna jailbreak the VITA? Probably the best thing you could do.... and its piss easy. I love my VITA, only cos its jailbroken tho, same with my PS3/4/5.
Oh yeah you can only do 2 player online multiplayer and it runs even worse when you have someone in your lobby, The console cannot handle the abilitys of both vault hunters and its open microphone so you will hear nothing but reverb and infinite echos from the other persons vita
Bro holy frame rate that bugs my eyes lol😂
💀💀💀
It's not the best 15-20fps and limitations of all areas, same goes still on any switch game 😅, but since Bl2 launch it has had its issues on all platforms and still rips frames even high end pcs
If you think that is what "any Switch games" is like you need to check out some actual Switch games. Try Borderlands 3 on Switch it is a million times more successful than Borderlands 2 on Vita.
How I played it originally. Its quite good. But that framerate🤣🤣🤣🤣. Got a level 50 Acton on this version.
I love it .
Before I watch this video, to me It's totally unplayable without jailbreaking and overclocking your vita/PSTV
You'll get a superior handheld experience on switch and on something like steamdeck and asus ROG
I had the PS Vita I did love it but at the same time there's only like five excellent games the rest of my crap now that the older the system no more updates and all that I sold mine mine was white
Borderlands 2 is miles better on the Steam deck than the Vida.
I’d hope so😭
As you would expect.
All you need is ovreclock your Vita. Then the game will run solid 30 fps
It’s actually not that difficult to jail break it, I dud my friends in like 10 min
BL3 and wonderland loading times on the ps4 are awful as a father who works 50+ hours a week. Sometimes I only have around 30 minutes to game. It really sucks😢
Need any loot lmao
Always wanted to try it on the vita even though it looks like 💩
U can overclock it too 30fps on vita dope and makes it good again the fps not the game lol the game rocks😅😅
Tf the graphics are so weirs
i use the psvita 2000 perma mod and using vitashell to max oc and vitagrafix to optimize my resolution trsut me it gets better and better until then if you set it up right on the resolution scale which is the framescale to i dont remember much vita has so much potential but sony doesnt get it much and modders community is making the psvita alive more and more than sony can
