''Borderlands: The Handsome Collection'' is a compilation of first-person shooter video games developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. The collection consists of ports of ''Borderlands 2'' and ''Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!'' for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, along with all of their accompanying downloadable content, enhanced local multiplayer, and the ability to transfer save data from their respective PlayStation 3/Vita and Xbox 360 versions. == Development and release == To maintain consistency with the previous installments in the franchise, ''Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!''—a follow up set between the first two games in Gearbox Software's ''Borderlands'' franchise developed by 2K Australia, was only released on the previous-generation PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. In July 2014, prior to the game's release, 2K Australia's head Tony Lawrence reiterated that there was a possibility that ''The Pre-Sequel'' could be ported to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One—gauged by fan demand and sales. In December 2014, it was reported that a game titled ''Borderlands Remastered Edition'', which was presumed to be a ''Borderlands'' port to PS4 and Xbox One, had received a rating from the Australian Classification Board. No other details had been officially announced at that point. The discovery drew comparisons to other "remastered" ports of recent previous generation games to the consoles, including ''Tomb Raider'', ''The Last of Us'', fellow Take Two Interactive title ''Grand Theft Auto V'', and ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. The compilation was officially announced on January 20, 2015, as ''The Handsome Collection'', for a release in North America on March 24, 2015, and elsewhere on March 27, 2015. A limited "Claptrap-in-a-Box" edition was also announced; this US$399 bundle includes lithographs of the playable characters from both games, a Steelbook case for the game, and a remote-controlled version of the robot character Claptrap; it can be controlled from an Android or iOS device using the "ClaptrApp", features a single wheel and gyroscopic stabilization, can play Claptrap's in-game quotes, and has a camera in its eye that can be viewed from within the app. Only 5,000 copies of this edition were produced. The compilation does not include the first ''Borderlands'': speaking at PAX South, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford stated that they may consider creating a port of the original game if ''The Handsome Collection'' is "wildly successful".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ca.ign.com/articles/2015/01/25/pax-south-2015-why-borderlands-isnt-on-next-gen-and-how-you-can-change-that )〕 On 18 March, 2015, Gearbox Software and 2K Games confirmed that the game had been declared gold, indicating it was being prepared for duplication and release. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Borderlands: The Handsome Collection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
