Borderlands Delayed

[King of Creation]

<strong>[ Game -> Update ]</strong> - More info on <a href="#Borderlands">Game: Borderlands</a>

<p><em><strong>Borderlands</strong></em>, the post-apocalyptically styled sci-fi FPS RPG, has been slightly delayed for "optimization." From <a href="http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/50423 ... ed">Voodoo Extreme</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>The PC version is sliding back from its original release date of October 20 in North America to October 26. The international version of the PC game will slide back further to October 30. The North American PS3 and 360 versions of the game will be unaffected, and the international versions for the PS3 and 360 will still ship on October 23. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>We contacted 2K Games for an explanation on the slight delay for the game, and Charlie Sinhaseni, Senior PR Manager said, "We're optimizing the PC version which takes a few days longer than expected. Borderlands for PC will ship on October 26th."</em></p>
<p>For those that don't know <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderland ... me%29">the story</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>In the distant future, several colonization ships head to Pandora, a planet on the edge of the galaxy. The colonists are drawn there in search of a better life as well as vast mineral resources said to be on the planet, free for anyone's taking, akin to a futuristic gold rush. Some time after settling, the colonists discover that there is little the planet offers, aside from some decrepit alien ruins. Those who have money leave, and the remaining population devolves into chaos and lawlessness. Some of the settlers seek to get rich quickly by discovering alien technology. Most others are just trying to survive. After seven earth years, the planet's slow orbit brings a transition from winter to spring, and many horrifying creatures emerge from hibernation.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>A beacon of hope for the remaining colonists emerges in the form of a mysterious vault carved in the side of a mountain. This vault is said to contain vast stores of alien technology and secrets. The only problem is that the people who discovered the vault were completely wiped out by some sort of protective force. The only evidence of their discovery is a scattered radio transmission, proclaiming the vault's majesty, but not its location.</em></p>
