Instead of transferring the PC experience as closely as possible to console, since this isn't working as is, a new control scheme and some changes to the map perhaps could have helped alongside the obviously much-needed optimization. PUBG is a large, complex beast of a game mode, and as something relatively poorly coded even in its prime version, it's not an easy thing that should be rushed as an Xbox exclusive. I'd take Minecraft graphics if this thing just ran well and played w
The most popular PC shooter of the year, and one of the most streamed games online, is finally available on consoles and wow, the devs can take this one back. **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** released on the Xbox One family of consoles yesterday as part of the Game Preview (early access) program and it's awkwardly bad, a result of an extremely rushed production by the developers with the help of Microsoft so Xbox could have a notable exclusive out just in time for the holid
Popular YouTube personality PewDiePie recently found himself embroiled in another wave of controversy after he dropped a racial slur during a livestream of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , resulting in a considerable amount of backlash. In response to the incident, the YouTuber has released a new video on his chan
Assuming the mobile port of PUBG is a success, the game will become a true powerhouse and has potential to break video game sales records. Alternatively, Tencent may opt to ditch pubg weapons 's initial asking price and make a profit using the game's loot box system and microtransactions. Either way, it's hard to see how a mobile version of PUBG won't be a big moneymaker for everyone invol
"Before we actually looked deeper into how similar [ Fortnite 's Battle Royale ] is, we wanted to raise an issue because this is from Epic Games. We could be the biggest indie success story that they have and there will be other indie developers that aspire to succeed like us using Unreal Engine, and they would be concerned, right? So we just wanted to raise an issue and let people know that it can be a probl
Chisam said that they chose the name Paladins: Battlegrounds as an homage to MMO's. Since the game will use teams and rely on high-speed mounts, Chisam feels this likens it more to classical MMO battlegrounds more so than the current Battle Royale games. This leads to the question why PUBG would call their game a "battleground" if it looks and feels more like a battle royale than an
PewDiePie then apologized for the incident, saying that he is sorry if he had "offended, hurt or disappointed anyone" with his inappropriate language. Wrapping up his video, the YouTuber stated that he really wants to "improve," not just for himself, but for all those who are influenced by
This latest incident is the second such moment in 2017 where PieDiePie has found himself in hot water over something he has said or done. A few months ago, the popular YouTuber drew criticism after he had made a series of anti-Semitic jokes in one of his videos , resulting in a considerable amount of fallout. Most notable, Disney ended its association with him and cancelled his YouTube Red horror s
Titled "My Response," the short video is devoid of PewDiePie's trademark shock humor, and directly addresses his use of a racial slur. The YouTuber begins by saying that he always found the use of inappropriate racial slurs by other players "immature and stupid" before conceding that he hates how he "personally fed into that part of gaming as well." PewDiePie continues by saying that his use of a racial slur had "slipped out" in the heat of the moment and that he's "disappointed" in himself because this latest incident demonstrates that he has "learned nothing" from all his past controversi
This isn't the first time that High Rez has been accused of ripping off popular game genres, either. Back when the game was first released, many claimed that it was a direct Overwatch rip-off , and there was even discussion of whether Blizzard could sue over how blatant it was. Similarly to the current situation, COO Todd Harris had to come out and defend Paladins , claiming that it wasn't a cl
What many gaming fans disagreed with in the original statement was the implication that Bluehole had some type of ownership over battle royale or last man standing game modes. Kim made it clear that the developer isn't in any way claiming that. "It's not for us to even comment," he said. Kim then reiterated that the focus of Bluehole's apparent frustration is Epic Games, who specifically mentioned PUBG in its marketing materials for the new gameplay m
It seems that the comparisons have not gone unnoticed by the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' ( PUBG ) team either, as today, developer Bluehole sent out a press release criticizing Epic Games over its Fortnite update. Bluehole vice president Chang Han Kim says, "After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known." Kim also reveals that Bluehole has had "an ongoing relationship with Epic Games throughout PUBG ’s development as they are the creators of [Unreal Engine 4], the engine we licensed for the ga
