《邊緣禁地4》真的要賣80美元？執行長：如果你是粉絲就想辦法買下去
2K Games 旗下 Gearbox Software 開發中的新作《邊緣禁地4》（Borderlands 4），此前 Gearbox 執行長 Randy Pitchford 才表示不清楚遊戲該賣多少。但最近 Pitchford 卻被發現，先前回應網友關於《邊緣禁地4》的售價問題時，就表示：「如果你是《邊緣禁地》粉絲就會買」。 此前，一名玩家擔心《邊緣禁地4》的售價會高達 80 美元，在 Randy Pitchford 的 X（推特）留言，希望他們不要冒險，否則很多玩家不會願意花 80 美元買這遊戲，因為會助長價格上漲的風氣。並認為 Pitchford 是開發商執行長，肯定在售價上有一定的發言權。 但對此，Pitchford 卻不認同這說法，回應：「A) 這不是我能決定的。 B) 如果你是真粉絲，你就會想辦法買下它。我在 1991 年時，家裡附近的電玩店有一片 SEGA Genesis（Mega Drive）主機的《星際航艦》（Starflight），售價 80 美元，我才剛剛從高中畢業，在皮斯摩海灘的冰淇淋店打工，領最低的薪資，但我還是想辦法買到了。」 A) Not my call. B) If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen. My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen. — Randy Pitchford (@DuvalMagic) May 14, 2025 而 Pitchford 的回應卻不被網友們買單，有人嘲諷《邊緣禁地4》80 美元，但玩過這系列的都知道，後面還會推出季票，或是各種造型：「這絕對是近期最糟的執行長回應」、「我等不及看到這款遊戲失敗」、「別用通貨膨脹那一套，我們的薪水可沒有」。 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：

Mafia: The Old Country Won't Be Open World and Will Cost $50
Mafia: The Old Country will release on Aug. 8, 2025, publisher 2K Games announced today. The game, developed by Hangar 13, will feature a standard edition for $49.99 and a deluxe edition for $59.99, and will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as prepurchase on PC via Steam. You can check out the first official gameplay trailer. "Mafia: The Old Country is a compelling story that doesn't require a massive time commitment, and we believe these prices reflect the value of this highly polished linear narrative experience," the developer said in a statement. This is good news, considering the cost of most games and consoles is set to increase. A game that doesn't break the bank, yet promises a compelling story and action-focused gameplay seems right up my alley. No open world, no problem If you were expecting the next installment in the Mafia series to be a sprawling, open-world romp through the organized crime world, think again. But honestly, that's probably for the best. Screenshot by Evan Zimmer/CNET The game's visuals look great, and the action-focused combat seems compelling. If it's anything like Mafia: Definitive Edition -- which was excellent and delivered a similarly shorter, linear game with an emphasis on story and characters -- it'll be a day-one buy for me. What's Mafia: The Old Country about? This time around, Hanger 13 is turning back the clock to the 1900s. Mafia: The Old Country puts players in control of Enzo Favara as he navigates the dark underworld of Sicily. You'll join the Torrisi crime family and uncover the origins of organized crime in Hanger 13's Mafia series. The game seeks to deliver an authentic, mob-movie experience. It'll take players across crumbling Sicilian ruins and sprawling vineyards, filled with a colorful cast of unpredictable allies and rival gangs. The game's FAQ page says there'll be a mix of gunplay and stealth mechanics, along with close-quarters knife fights and races on horseback and behind the wheel. You can preorder the game now and make your oaths to the Cosa Nostra when it comes out in August.

'Mafia: The Old Country' Gets Aug Release, Returning To Linear Roots
2K Games and Hangar 13 have finally unveiled the first gameplay trailer for the highly anticipated crime adventure sequel Mafia: The Old Country , promising a return to the franchise's linear roots by providing a focused, narrative experience. Best of all, the game is just three months out from its release on 8 August 2025. Announced via an in-depth developer insights trailer, the game will bring the crime franchise away from the hustle and bustle of its usual city setting, instead set in the rural countryside of 1900s Sicily, birthplace of organised crime. The game follows the story of Enzo Favara, a man with a troubled past, as he joins and rises through the ranks of Don Torrisi's crime family. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game will feature the familiar cover shooting formula seen in past games like the original game's 2020 remake, Mafia: Definitive Edition , with a stronger emphasis on stealth and hand-to-hand combat. According to the developers, ammo is set to be scarce, encouraging players to tactically manage their resources and not just go in guns blazing. As with all Mafia games, fans can also expect an abundance of period-accurate vehicles to traverse the countryside, alongside the introduction of horse-riding, with the trailer even revealing the ability to shoot firearms while on horseback. Following fans' tepid response to the open-world design of 2016's Mafia III , Mafia: The Old Country will bring the series back to its roots by providing 'a focused, linear experience that combines quality storytelling, authentic era immersion and a refined take on the familiar Mafia gameplay', as said by developer Hangar 13's president Nick Baynes in a news release, explaining that this approach allowed the team to 'deliver a story that's gritty, grounded, brutal and emotional.' 'We think there's a large audience for compelling stories that don't require massive time commitments,' added 2K Games president David Ismalier, who also explained that the game could 'easily complement the other more persistent games our players also love and engage with on a more consistent basis.' Having a less time-consuming, linear experience is a smart move for the title, especially since it differentiates it from the other crime-related third-person adventure, the recently delayed Grand Theft Auto VI . Due to its linear nature and smaller scope compared to many other open-world titles in recent years, Mafia: The Old Country will also launch with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, with its standard edition being only S$70 on Steam, which is surprising in this age of S$100 AAA game releases. Fans don't have to wait too long to jump into the game either, as it will release on 8 August 2025 for the PS5, Xbox Series X and PC.

Mafia: The Old Country arrives on August 8
Mafia: The Old Country will be released on August 8 after being revealed at last year's The Game Awards. The title will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and NVIDIA GeForce Now. Fans of organized crime simulators can preorder the game right now. This is a prequel to other titles in 2K Games' Mafia franchise. It's set in Sicily in the early 1900s and explores the origins of organized crime. This reminds me of the iconic young Vito Corleone scenes from The Godfather Part II , which begin in Sicily in 1901. Mafia: The Old Country is a linear, narrative-driven game with stealth and gunplay mechanics. There's a new protagonist called Enzo who 'has the opportunity to join Don Torrisi's crime family.' As usual with modern releases, there are a couple of versions to choose from. The Standard Edition just includes the base game and costs $50, which is a bargain in today's gaming landscape. The Deluxe Edition offers a bunch of bonus items, like new weapons and outfits. It also comes with the digital score and a digital art book. This one costs $60. The Mafia series started in 2002 and offered a serious take on the GTA formula. There have only been three real games in the franchise in all of that time, with Mafia III being released in 2017. 2K Games has a lot on its plate right now. Borderlands 4 comes out on September 12 and there's likely to be a new NBA 2K edition this year. Of course, it's also helping to publish the long-awaited GTA 6 , which has been delayed until May 26, 2026.

Is Borderlands 4 cross-platform?
There are only a handful of games we can confidently say are even close to being as fun to play in co-op as the Borderlands games. Some like Split Fiction come to mind, but there's something special about getting your pals together and running around Pandora as your favorite Vault Hunters. Borderlands 4 is the newest entry in the franchise that began in 2009, and the big question isn't about the story, the guns, or the characters, but cross-platform support. Normally, we would just assume this game would have it, but Borderlands 3 didn't launch with any cross-platform support and only got it after several updates. We traveled to Pandora and back to bring you the definitive answer on whether Borderlands 4 is cross-platform or not. 2K Games Yes, Gearbox has finally learned its lesson and Borderlands 4 will launch with full cross-platform support. During the official gameplay deep dive, Gearbox Entertainment officially confirmed that Borderlands 4 will allow players on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC to team up in this epic looter shooter adventure, stating, 'Thanks to our improved lobby system, it's easier than ever to join up with your friends on the fly. And with full cross-play at launch, you can play with your friends on any platform.' Not only that, but Borderlands 4 will also support crossplay on the Nintendo Switch 2. The game will still have the option for two people to play together in local split-screen co-op, but online crossplay will allow you to form a full team of four vault hunters. While there has been no word specifically on cross-progression, we suspect it is going to be included as well. That feature never made it to the past game, and Gearbox must be aware of how much we and the rest of the community want the ability to take our character from one platform to the next without having to start from scratch. Once we know for sure one way or the other on cross-progression, we will keep you and this article updated.
