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
The theory goes that when John was left behind by the gang in a failed robbery attempt, he took out a few of his traitorous comrades before he left, including Arthur Morgan. A good way to fill a plot h
Even though I’ve only put a few hours into Battlegrounds at this point since jumping in, I can already see it as a title that I’ll more than likely come back to in the coming months. With rounds that usually extend for me around 20-30 minutes (if I don’t get killed right from the get-go), the game has drawn in me like few others ever have, much less any type of survival sim or Early Access game before it, and most of that comes down to its incredibly streamlined sense of survival at play, and how it draws players together in a fight to the finish. To say Battlegrounds is exhilarating is an understatement: even in its earliest state right now, I’ve kept coming back to the game night after night because it’s gotten my blood pumping like few other games have in the past few ye
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
Rumors are swinging all over the internet about the new style of locomotion system, with many believing that not only will you now be able to rob a train, but in some instances, you could steal one, just as you would a horse. How do you stage a getaway on a linear track, tho
Given the huge scope of PUBG ‘s maps and the varied terrain inside of them, there is plenty of room for player experimentation and strategy. As I’ve played with numerous friends over the past few months, I’ve continually found players utilizing very different ways to getting into the last remaining number of players that have been just as effective as the last. This includes some of my friends that have loved hiding in bushes and foliage to catch players by surprise, while some of the more cunning players I know have done nefarious things like blowing the tires off of roadside vehicles, leaving players stranded and unable to escape the oncoming circle and instead heading towards a slow, painful de
Well, after the massive success of Redemption it is safe to say that Rockstar has the time and resources for a much smoother development of RDR2 , which should me it would be much easier to port the code to
Since it debuted on Early Access last March and finally launched last month, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has shown little signs of slowing down with regular new updates and content being added, with PC players getting a new update on the hori
Each match in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has a similar sense of rhythm and cadence — you jump from the plane, you try to survive the initial bloodbath of players dropping onto the island, you collect as many weapons, supplies, and upgrades as you can, and then try to work your way towards the final circle and eliminate the last remaining players. However, getting to that final point is not only difficult (most of the time), but thanks to the game’s randomized elements like where the plane dispatches, weapon drops, and the ever-shrinking circle location, it keeps players on their toes and ensures that no match plays out in the same
A new post on the community forums for PUBG Mobile Future 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 the 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
Pushing past six million copies in the past few weeks, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has dominated the Steam charts throughout this year alongside continued monthly updates, with the game’s upcoming August updates to be one of its most expansive
That fear is also combined with the fact that so many titles in the genre can feel as “Early Access” as an Early Access title can be. Without delving into the numerous technical and performance issues that can crop up with titles in an early development state, there can also be the feeling of mechanics and gameplay ideas that haven’t had the proper time to cook yet, and there’s no knowing what a title can look like months (or even years) out from what players have available. That’s the nature of Early Access games as we know them, and while that’s as much an expectation for what you’re getting, it can also factor into the hesitation of plunking down money on a game that is, for all intents and purposes, unfinis
