PUBG Creator: 'If You're Dying In The Red Zone... You're Not A Very Good Player'

With the overwhelming nature by which pubg Updates captured the gaming industry’s attention, it was inevitable that several other developers would hop on the train and integrate battle-royale style modes into their own ongoing franchises. Easily the most popular of these recent spin-offs has been Fortnite: Battle Royale, a free-to-play version with a cartoon aesthetic and over forty million players since its launch last summer. As the current competitor with the biggest opportunity to take PUBG down a notch, Bluehole should embrace this healthy competition and look into what has kept Fortnite within reach of its own arena survival title. While we did address a few elements that the developer could look into in an article of ours from last year, Fortnite has more recently begun to introduce limited-time modes that spice up the formula, such as 50v50 team deathmatches . There’s no need for PUBG to directly steal any of Fortnite’s modes, but Epic Games’ willingness to creatively expand upon the core mechanics with interesting new twists is a potential-heavy notion that the team at PUBG Corp could stand to benefit from if they’re looking to entice players back to their smash hit.


At least the new map's potential looks cool and there's talk of new vehicles (including an armored UAZ found in test files for an upcoming event) and weapons that we've seen so few of the last half-y

The PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds creator revealed as much to US Gamer during the 2018 Game Developers Conference, with Greene stating, "I mean, everyone that [suggests] region locking [is forgetting about] VPN. It just doesn’t work." Greene then went on to point out that the recently implemented ping-based matchmaking, which only pairs players with those who have the same or similar ping, has improved the experience for m


Given the early access nature of the game at launch, the long period of slow updates as the primary focus shifted to gambling for loot boxes to sell on Steam for real money, it's seemed for a few months now that PUBG Corp was playing the short-term game. The rushed nature of the mobile and Xbox One versions of the games signify the company's obvious intention of letting the game spread as fast as possible before something else takes over, and Fortnite already did. And now they have an incomplete game with pissed off players who are moving over in dro


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


Imagine yourself on the streets Los Leones, the largest city within the desert map of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds . You’re rifling through the weathered, abandoned buildings, collecting precious loot in hopes of coming across the ever-elusive level three-helmet or 8x scope – when all of a sudden, explosions begin randomly crashing down around you. Before you can do anything, a final blow takes you out, promptly ending your quest for a chicken dinner. It’s then that you realize: you were in the red z


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


Considering the fact that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Steam sales have made it the third-highest grossing game on Valve's digital distribution platform, it's safe to say that the battle royale title is a bona fide success. Of course, many would still argue that the game suffers from a litany of issues, with one ever-present complaint from lots of fans being about how Chinese cheaters are making PUBG matches unfair. This has led to plenty of calls for PUBG Corp. to "region lock China," but its creator Brendan Greene disagrees that it's a viable solution to the prob


The lawsuit does cite a number of specific instances, however, including a particular "rural aqueduct" that appears in both titles, the use of a frying pan as a weapon, certain armour or weapon parts cited as "near-exact copies," and the repeated use of the phrase "winner winner chicken dinner," which was used in marketing material for NetEase's two games. NetEase was involved in a legal case alleging copyright infringement last year , but ironically, in that case they were the ones filing the suit alongside Blizzard, against a Chinese clone of Overwatch. NetEase actually oversees the Chinese localization of the Blizzard ti
