PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds August Update Detailed; Includes First-Person Servers, Xbox One Controller Support, and More

You know who isn’t known for being tight-lipped? The rest of the human race, especially when they have nothing significant to add to the conversation. Yes, when we actually know nothing about something we desperately want to discuss, we tend to pluck absolute nonsense straight out of the air. That is how rumors get started. While rumors about video games can be incredibly useful, as they can help developers see what fans actually want to see in the game, other times it is just one sad weirdo trying to shoehorn Rainbow Dash into every single franchise. So in that spirit, here are some of the more exciting rumors we’ve heard about RDR2 , as well as some confirmed secrets you can look forward

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

Originating from Greene’s work on developing mods such as DayZ: Battle Royale (originating from ARMA 2 and its subsequent DayZ ), Battlegrounds ultimately became a sort of mix of the attributes that Greene wanted to take from survival games – the emphasis on player choice and preservation – while refining some of its weaker points. Specifically, Greene’s focus on making large maps that would be difficult to pin down exact strategies from game-to-game play a large part of what Battlegrounds has turned out to be, while item randomization ensures that no match plays out exactly the same as it did bef

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

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 Blindspot 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

In the hours I’ve played in Battlegrounds , I’ve come out of each round with wildly different outcomes. Some matches I died almost immediately after parachuting into a dropzone, due to either just dumb luck or a lack of vital resources to gather. Other times, my friends and I rode our way to near-victory ( with our best Squad game resulting in #2 placement ) and executed squad tactics with lethal precision – only for the game’s unpredictable ways catching us by surprise in the

First, let’s start with the basics. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a survival first/third-person shooter that revolves around the idea of a “battle royale” experience, where 100 players are dropped onto a remote location and forced into battle to kill the remaining players and be the last one standing. As we’ve seen from books and movies like Battle Royale and The Hunger Games , PUBG activates a primitive, yet entertaining, enjoyment from fighting to survive by whatever means necessary, and that’s a large portion of its addictive nat

Arthur Morgan, the new central character of RDR2 isn’t mentioned in any significant way during the previous game, which seems like a plot hole. If he was such an integral senior member in the Van Der Linde gang, you’d think Marston would mention him, even in pass

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

Even with many players opting to run the game at lower resolution and specs to ensure the best possible performance (even going as far as to remove in-game foliage and other effects), PUBG ‘s bugs and glitches abound with issues like rubber-banding, weird collision detection, not being able to pick up or drop items properly, and the occasional crashes. Likewise, the game’s UI and menus leave room for improvement, with adding and removing players from your party sometimes being a challenge due to its finicky lobby m
