Borderlands 4 (2025)

So far this is my GOTY, runs absolutely beautiful maxed out with hardware rt and is probably one of the best looking games I've played to date. Gameplay is keeping me hooked too

Technical issues aside ( I'm suffering far fewer crashes now ) I agree, probably my GOTY thus far, too. But I'll reserve judgement until I play Ghost of Yotei later this week.

I know I've seen it on this thread before I bought the game, but difficult to find now amongst 50 pages! How do I go about enabling RT?

It'll be in the settings and on regardless of your settings, with UE 5, you can't turn off RT.

Probably more than than most people on this forum bro and I am an IQ/visuals snob bro.

The visuals are jaw dropping thanks to RT especially global illumination.

People who say bl 3 is on par or better visually need to get their eyes checked, bl 4 is superior in a number of ways, the lighting from RT global illumination alone makes it stand out far more than most games and the art style allows for global illumination to shine far more than most other games, not to mention, people seem to forget that bl 4 is open world with no loading screens....

Yea but RT looks amazyballs on Quake 2 also. Overall the textures don't look current gen, even if with a 5090 it looks a bit better than ahem Borderlands 3. Because HardwareUnboxed are showing B3 on ultra as better than B4 with low and upscaled, which allot of cards need to run the game.

I'm sure it's probably a ton of fun as I've enjoyed earlier games in the franchise, while being also frustrated with their navigating. I totally loved their RPG upgrade system

I'm not running low, I'm running maxed out so compared to bl 3 maxed out, it looks better here. Don't disagree if settings are dropped then it is going to be disappointing as hub have shown.

Textures look great here, obviously isn't going to be outstanding/nextgen given the art style for this area of the game but overall, the visuals look very good especially reflections/water (and there is quite a lot of areas with water/puddles)

UE5 Lumen software RT is but it's not clear if he was on about that or actual hardware RT. There's no in-game setting for the latter but I've heard there's a config file setting for the UE5 engine which enables hardware RT for Lumen but it's actually slower so no point?
 
been getting the same problem with texture in non snowy places im guessing i never noticed it in the first area as there was so much vegetation :P

Yeah, that's what I assumed he was talking about.
 
do i have to be zoomed in with a weap for the sheilds to work on it?

edit over 70 hours now and that gun and sheild are holding up still at level 41 while fighting badd asses etc a few level higher than me, just mauled a massive story boss with them, i think theres only one boss left and the gun is only lvl 37, i am a raging lunatic in fights in this game and i was drunk, reminds me of when i played quake 3 or ut 1 at times :D
