Since leaving Steam Early Access and launching in full at the end of 2017, it definitely looks as if PUBG missions Corp is continuing to do all it can to weed out cheaters in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in order to maintain its status as the premier Battle Royale title on the market. Of course, with competitors like Fortnite offering a similar experience with its own Battle Royale mode at no cost to fans, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the genre and which game eventually comes out on
Our Awards ceremony, held annually in December, celebrates both game creators and game players, and gives fans a sneak preview of games set to be released in the future. The program is broadcast globally, free-of-charge, on all gaming screens and digital platforms, and recognizes video games across PC, mobile, console, VR/AR, and also eSpo
While we'll have to wait and see how PlayerUnknown addresses the issues of inaccurate aim and seeing over obstacles, Battlegrounds players should at least be able to vault over obstacles more easily s
The ability to expand field of view should be helpful for players who felt the standard first-person view was too narrow. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is already competitive, but the extra degree of immersion and risk that comes with the first-person mode may make it more competitive. And the FOV options should satisfy serious FPS players who are used to this tool in other competitive shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Overwat
This tool isn't all Battlegrounds needs to work well as a first-person shooter, though. Players have noted some scaling issues that aren't apparent in third-person but stand out in first-person. For instance, windows and some vehicles can be too high for a standing player to see through or over while in first-person, while being a good height for the third-person camera. Sometimes shots in first-person hit walls when players aim just above those walls. For the first-person mode in Battlegrounds to work, these bugs will need addressing alongside the addition of the FOV slider, and it's not clear from PlayerUnknown's Tweet what steps have been taken for these fi
This particular decision was reached after PUBG Corp ran an extensive and comprehensive data review of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to find "new pattern" of cheating occurring with the game on PC. As seen in a Steam Community post regarding the matter, PUBG Corp isn't taking the issue lightly, as it has stated that those who have been found taking part in exploiting the game will be "permanently banned in a single wa
As it so happens, this isn't the first instance of players getting some kind of comeuppance after cheating in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , as Tencent–that is, the company responsible for the game’s Chinese localization and the mobile port–recently helped police arrest 120 cheat makers in China . Interestingly enough, some Chinese cheaters caught in the crackdown had already done jail time in the past, which makes one wonder if PUBG Corp's huge ban of 100,000 players will actually assist in deterring further exploitation in the fut
"We recently discovered a new pattern of cheats in action. This week, we performed a thorough gameplay data review of 10 million players and completed analysis of tens of millions of data logs. Through this exercise, we were able to identify over 100,000 instances of the new pattern related to use of cheat and now we have confirmed that it was clearly an attempt of compromising our g
Ascent: Infinite Realm will be published by Kakao Games, publisher of Black Desert Online , another MMORPG. Bluehole has yet to announce a release date, but signs point to a closed beta beginning in the first half of 2018. And given PUBG's extended period of early-access (and how well it has worked out for the game), there's reason to believe that Bluehole will take its time with formally launching **Ascent: Infinite Realm ** . The game will be shown off at the upcoming G-Star 2017 trade show in Busan, South Korea, which is set to take place from November 16 - 19. Expect more information t
"These players will be permanently banned in a single wave. This is an example of additional measures we will be taking on top of the basic detection systems in place. We will continue to check the data logs like this even if it means the anti-cheat team has to filter through hundreds of billions of data logs manual
Without a doubt, the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds continues to grow, as the title recently managed to reach over 3 million players on Xbox One just about a week ago. Of course, with such a huge pool of gamers flocking to the title, there are bound to be some rotten apples in the bunch, and the development team at PUBG Corp has confirmed just that by revealing its intentions to ban over 100,000 cheaters on the title's PC vers
Bluehole seems to have an especially broad demographic in mind with Ascent: Infinite Realm . The trailer practically shouts that there's something here for everyone: Dragons to hunt, flying aircrafts to pilot (and destroy), properties and communities to build, and more. It'll be up to Bluehole, though, to ensure that it doesn't spread itself too thin; that each element is sufficiently fleshed-out to warrant the repeated revisiting that maintains successful online games. Lightning struck once with PUBG — it remains to be seen whether it'll strike ag
