PUBG clearly has more work to be done after its nine months of Early Access, but I’m more than looking forward to seeing the experience get bigger and better over time. Despite its initial hangups (and the issues that still plague it outside of Early Access), there’s an incredibly strong foundation to PUBG ‘s gameplay that’s clearly going to evolve in new and exciting ways. The version of PUBG that I’m reviewing now is very much going to look different a year from now, and honestly, that might just be the most exciting part of where this massively popular game heads n
Adjusted squad team colors to make them more consistent between different colorblind options
Added a function where a player can select more detailed criteria for the “Cheating” category in the in-game report
The next Monthly Update will also introduce the game’s first new paid cosmetic items through a “crate and key system,” which Greene took time in the community forum to address. Due to some of the negative reaction towards implementing the system, Greene expressed that the introduction and testing of the new paid cosmetics will “serve as the foundation of a healthy economy after launch,” and will aim to “benefit all players – both who are willing to pay and who are not willing to pay for vanity items.” However, Greene also addressed that “our messaging wasn’t clear” in terms of implementing the new system, and added that the team will “try to communicate better moving forwa
A new post on the community forums for PUBG on Steam revealed that a new update will be heading to the game’s PC version, hot on the heels of the recently-released patch for visit the up coming site Xbox One version of the title. Specifically, the new update packs in bug fixes and seeks to address more of the game’s technical performance, while introducing some new cosmetic changes, such as a new design for the energy drink so it looks less like a knockoff Red Bull
The icon will be different when the care package is falling and looted by other players
Adjusted replay system so that now a player can watch the replay without extra delay in the following c
Whether players decide to head in Solo or as part of a Duo or four-player Squad with friends, each game more-or-less starts off in the same fashion as players jettison out of a derelict warplane and parachute onto the abandoned Soviet island that serves as the game’s titular battlegrounds, which spans a massive 5×5 miles in size. Ultimately though, players are left to decide where and when to land, whether they want to drop immediately for a chance at grabbing weapons and equipment right away, or a later drop that costs resources but could set up players with a bit of breathing room away from all the ch
Specifically, Greene clarified with the game’s new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8×8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4’s capabilit
Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl
However, with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , I’ve felt the compulsive need to check in to the game and attempt a few runs, whether I get oh-so-close to victory or die a hilariously-brief death. Though it doesn’t exactly break away from all of the attributes we expect from Early Access titles – IE bugs, bugs, and more bugs – it makes for one of the most effective survival experiences I’ve played in years by keeping its survival focus lean and simple, but with tons of depth for its rapidly-growing audience. All I know is that Battlegrounds is teasing me with victory and a chicken dinner, and I’m hungry for m
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , for better and worse, is one of the most enjoyable multiplayer game experiences I’ve had in years. I’ve delved into plenty of multiplayer-focused games with friends over the past few years like Rocket League and Overwatch , but few have felt as tapped into the social aspects of gaming as PUBG has managed to provide. With well over 120 hours put into the game over the course of the year, it’s already taken the mantle of the game that I put the most time into in 2017, and that’s an especially impressive accomplishment given the astounding number of excellent games that this year provided us wi
