PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Developer Reveals Next Game

Formerly hosted by Spike as The Spike Video Game Awards, Keighley went on to produce his own independent award ceremony. Each year since its inception in 2014, a slew of games from that year have been nominated for various categories, ranging from Best Shooter or Best Mobile Game, to the more coveted Developer of the Year, and of course Game of the Year. The games are selected by a secret panel of some sort, with the winners being at least partially voted on by the pub


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


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


It’s impossible to shake the feeling that they’re just one big advertisement, for both upcoming video games and other products. Sponsorships galore throughout the presentation, and trailers for upcoming games blare between almost every award. Imagine if the Oscars ran trailers for films coming in the next year, no one would take them seriou


"We have also noticed that Epic Games references PUBG in the promotion of Fortnite to their community and in communications with the press. This was never discussed with us and we don’t feel that it’s rig


Paladins: Battlegrounds will be available later this year, but if you want to play the original game to get used to the heroes you will play as, Paladins: Champions of the Realm is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox


Since Fortnite: Battle Royale doesn't require any money up front, it immediately brings up some concern over whether or not it will be "pay to win." However, Epic Games has confirmed that there will be no microtransactions that allow players to buy better guns than their opponents. As detailed in a blog post on Epic's official website, paid items are planned to be "cosmetics or compendium-like content." Also, those who purchased Fortnite between September 12-19 are eligible to receive a refund, since Battle Royale was originally announced as part of the main g


The Game Awards , created and hosted by video game personality Geoff Keighley, can be viewed as either the definitive award ceremony for video games, or as one big marketing event. Either way, the 2017 Game of the Year nominees have been announced, and they’re pretty much exactly what you’d expect. Still, despite the lack of surprise, that hasn’t stopped many from arguing over what should or shouldn’t have been nomina


Even with the millions of copies that PUBG has sold, the untapped console market is huge, with over 60 million PS4s sold, as well as over 33 million Xbox Ones. Of course, some console owners play on multiple platforms or just aren't interested in the battle royale genre, but with 93 million potential players, odds are that Fortnite: Battle Royale will be successful. On top of the user base, it is free-to-play and players are not required to own the original Fortnite game released earlier this y

A trailer for the game - seen above - clocks in at over five minutes — and shows off quite a bit. There are indeed airships and dragons, along with jetpack-like boosters, gatling guns, mechs, and estate-building. At various points throughout the trailer, players can be seen taking control of airships, be it as pilots or turret gunners. The website suggests that PvP airship combat will be a staple of the game, explaining that "Using airships, flying mounts, or free falling, you can experience multi-dimensional battles through warfare in the open s


Currently, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a third-person shooter that forces players to fight to the death on an island, and it's incredibly popular as is . The third-person camera allows players to scope out targets over walls and around corners, giving them a strategic advantage. A first-person camera will make spotting enemies in the game more difficult and riskier, as players will have to peek out from behind cover to do so. The upcoming change ups the stakes for intel gathering. While Battlegrounds currently allows players to toggle a first-person view, it lacks some of the polish and tools FPS gamers are used to. One tool that's been missing was a field-of-view slider, making players' views narrow. In its next update, Battlegrounds will be getting first-person only servers, and with them a FOV slider. PlayerUnkown shared how that will affect players' views in a Tw


Bluehole, the developer behind PC-gaming sensation PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ( PUBG ), has launched the site for its upcoming MMORPG title, **Ascent: Infinite Realm ** . The studio has set high expectations for itself with the runaway success of Pubg story Guide, which has consistently been among Twitch's most-streamed and most-watched games since its early-access release last Ma
