Today's 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is hopefully everything players have been hoping to hear for some time. Certain topics commonly discussed by the community may have been absent from the roadmap, like balance and crates, but those were likely beyond the scope of the roadmap. Also at issue is the lack of a more specific release schedule, perhaps betraying PUBG Corp.'s lack of dedication to these pl
The PUBG Corporation's lawsuit reveals that the company first acted against NetEase on January 24th, when PUBG Corp filed a complaint with Apple over the clone titles being available on the App Store. Although it is unknown whether PUBG Corporation asked for the games to be delisted, Apple forwarded the complaint to NetEase, who responded by denying that their titles infringed on the PUBG strategy Corporation's rights. Evidently, the PUBG Corporation now feels confident enough that they do to take NetEase to court over the matter. This is not the first time NetEase has been involved with a clone title; the company announced FortCraft , a game which looks suspiciously similar to Fortnite , although no legal action has yet been taken against them for that ti
And that issue is only going to become more prevalent later this year as we expect multiple Battle Royale games to start being announced and releasing in various forms. We already know that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V should have their own takes on Battle Royale, and that Ubisoft's Massive is likely developing one too. Every triple-A publisher must be, and when the big gaming companies come in with better looking, more feature-full, and better optimized battle royale titles - many of them attached to established franchises - PUBG is in trouble. Especially if they keep milking players for loot box money when these other new games may not have that. And that's good thing. PUBG isn't free-to-play like its current competition, so its microtransaction practices are slimey at b
The battle royale formula was not entirely the brainchild of the PUBG Corporation - PUBG itself certainly derived content from pre-existing games - but since its success, there has been a trend of other developers copying the PUBG model. The PUBG Corporation has been openly critical of titles like Fortnite in the past for seeming to be copying their formula, but the company has never fought so strongly against another title as they are now with this lawsuit against NetE
"It is an overwhelming voice already! And people say there's no reason to it but it provides audio cover, it really looks cool when you're fighting in it. And really, you shouldn't be dying to the red zone. If you're dying to the red zone then, I'm sorry but you're not a very good player. It's like, you know there's a hundred meter safe zone around the edge of it, if you're in a building there's a very little chance of you getting hit, it's there for a specific reason, it looks really cool and it provides tension. If you're trapped in a fight in the red zone, it's exciting! People say that it has no reason, but it does. It's there for a very specific reason which is providing audio cover and even when it's a little bit in the distance it provides enough cover to run a little bit, so, there are reasons. But, that said, if there is an outpouring of hate towards it, we may consider
However, as PUBG Corp's comments about the Ghillie suit note, certain cosmetics can be used to benefit players, by camouflaging them in certain areas of a map . PUBG Corp. may have only identified the Ghillie suit as a beneficial piece of loot, but what of the other cosmetic content that players can collect in paid-for cra
As the company behind WeChat, Tencent bought the mobile rights to PUBG last year and had been rolling it out in China. However, the latest release marks the game's iPhone release outside of China and the Android release outside of a tested version that recently launched in Can
The popular Battle Royale game (loosely based on the 2000 movie) is an online multiplayer that parachutes 100 intrepid games onto an island in a last man standing situation. Scavenging weapons and taking out opponents one-by-one, the island's safe zone decreases as the number of players dwindles until only one person is left victorious. First released on Stream's early access in early 2017, PUBG got a full release by Microsoft in December and grabbed headlines ever si
Some people may have been playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for around a year and still may not be very good, however, the mobile game also has some help in that department. For new players to get to grips with the game, there is a new addition of bots. When leveling up, the ratio of bots to real players decreases, but with their bumbling incompetence, they aren't that hard to spot. It certainly makes it less daunting than facing 100 expert snipers on a first go, making it easier for newcomers to ease into PU
