Switch would be nice, but do you know what would also be nice?
X and Pro enhancements. 4k this bitch up Randy. Let’s roll.

Uhhh, personally I felt BL2 vita was decent. My biggest issue with it was the constant crashing. It really o ly slowed down noticeably enough to be problematic in the hub world. But you don't spend much time there anyway.
By comparison though, Doom was light years ahead. The slow down was very minimal. I don't think I ever saw it slow down on my end. The worst thing about it were the graphics but they still looked decent. It was basically the same as the console except with toned down visuals.

Why no Vive+Rift?
Also, definitely would buy a Switch port. Really, to me the biggest mistake when it comes to the Switch is how Nintendo hasn't been able to get enough 3rd party support. Ports are acceptable to me, because the Switch is a portable that I can take on the fly, meaning that I'd easily buy a game I already own just on that basis alone.
I'm with you in that I'm getting really sick on all fronts games being exclusive to specific VR Platforms, and even the ones on PC there are far too many that are Vive only or OR only and that's a really bad way to move the technology forward.

I see this as a test run for Borderlands 3 VR

My gut feeling is it's due to performance concerns, Sony are very strict about framerate and drops during VR certification and my guess is with multiple players it was too easy for things to get out of control.
The biggest gripe for me is the RRP, not having the expansions I can understand if this is testing the waters. But lacking a mode the original release had and still charging the same price is rather gross. Given how often and deep their other published titles go on sale, you would need to be mr.money bags to not just wait a few months and nabbing this for 50% off.

It's actually retracted. Interesting. At least IGN cares enough not to let a review slide with "hot take" inaccuracies. From reading the comments it seems it received a 3/10 and had lots of false statements about the controls.
While I'm not happy with Sony I'm quite interested in this as I love BL and I have PSVR! Too bad it's hard to trust game sites these days.

I've heard the movement is just fine. So IGN got it wrong.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Reminds me of all the people finding it "tiring" or "a hassle" to play Wii games that you could play perfectly fine while sitting still and resting your hands in your lap like with any controller. Ie, Metroid Prime 3, COD, Sin & Punishment 2, etc., pretty much anything with pointing functions was accused at one time or another as if they were trying to play them like lightgun games, upright with extended arms and exaggerated movements. Pretty sad there's no accountability for such bullshit as far as actual so called professionals go, they really show they're just like any random forum dweller who got lucky to get a job. Then again in many cases people side with those who are wrong than those who try to inform them, especially with stuff they aren't interested in enough to understand before passing judgement on them.

This is going to make a huge difference. It's one of the laziest ports I've ever seen. Their use of scopes being a tiny little flat screen in a VR game more or less ruins half the weapons in the game. Fingers crossed that this helps.

Still not sold on it because 39.99 and no DLC (TINY TINA!) is just painful.

I just picked up a brand new Vita on Ebay. It came with Borderlands 2 and all the content. It's decent. Not perfect, but decent. I'm enjoying it but hell yeah, would much rather have it on the Switch. In regards to thread topic, Pitchford inquired to Nintendo about Borderlands but they (Nintendo) seemingly ignored him and company.
reference:
Borderlands on the Switch?
One thing Mr. Pitchford has to realize is that Nintendo isn't going to roll out the red carpet and concession stands. Keep inquiring with them. Send over Claptrap with a nice demo of the game running. Borderlands games print money and are a sure fire riot to play on all screens.
