I've logged an absurd amount of hours into PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ( PUBG ) on Xbox One (God rest my soul) and two Steam accounts (because apparently I was too good and they thought I was hacki
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ is finally coming to PlayStation 4, and they have released an epic live-action trailer to prove it. Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the trailer is comprised of just over two minutes of hilarious, action-packed goodness. Vogt-Roberts may not have the longest Hollywood CV, but he has taken a considerable leap in recent years. Following his directorial debut - 2013's indie, festival darling _The Kings of Summer - the young director is best known for helming the second installment of Legendary's MonsterVerse franchise: Kong: Skull Island . Opting to move away from that world , Vogt-Roberts has since turned his attention to adapting Metal Gear Solid for the big scr
Screen Rant spoke previously with Vogt-Roberts, at San Diego Comic-Con, regarding his inspirations for Metal Gear Solid . He also shared his thoughts on video game adaptations in general. Believing that movies have a tendency to absorb elements from games, Vogt-Roberts opposes the view that there are no decent video-game films. Citing Snowpiercer and Edge of Tomorrow as examples, he believes that such adaptations work best when not directly adapting t
PUBG on all platforms is in need of "fixing," as PUBG Corp. admitted through a public and transparent "Fix PUBG " campaign . While PUBG was a trailblazer for the battle royale genre, the fact that Fortnite and Blackout run significantly better, especially on consoles as popular as the PS4, doesn't bode well for the longevity of PUBG . There is still an opportunity for the developers to turn things around and optimize their game properly for consoles, and perhaps then PUBG will find its PS4 audie
" The last man standing concept is great, but I've done that. I don't really intend to make PUBG 2. I've done battle royale, it's time to try something else. There are ideas about how we connect to people and how we provide the different experiences I hav
It can be used on Sniper Rifles like the M24 or AWM to switch from the long-range 8x scope to a much more up-close-and-personal red dot sight. It's not guaranteed to make you better at quickscoping, but it may help you out in a pinch if your enemy is too close for comf
PlayerUnknown _ 's _ **BATTLEGROUNDS ** ' Erangel, the map that arguably kickstarted the battle royale craze, is finally getting a much-needed facelift and mechanical overhaul later this summer. PUBG is one of the most successful battle royale titles of all time, although the game has recently fallen on harder times with the subsequent successes of the now much more popular Fortnite and, to a lesser extent, Apex Legends ,
Video game addiction isn't a new phenomenon, but reports of it seem to be increasing. It's unclear if the nature of battle royale games just make them more addicting than other titles, or if game addiction just wasn't as reported on as much in the past. After all, the gaming industry continues to grow and seems to get bigger every year, meaning more people are playing games than ever before, so there are more opportunities for people to become "addicted" to games than in the p
In celebration of the imminent launch, a trailer was released on the official PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds YouTube channel. Although billed as a trailer, the video plays more like a short film, with Vogt-Roberts' big screen sensibilities shining through. The video stars Nick Robinson and Jason Mitchell, who previously worked with Vogt-Roberts on Kings of Summer and Kong: Skull Island , respectively. After parachuting into a real-world version of the game's environment, Mitchell is beset by numerous gun-toting threats with only a frying pan (and some perfectly punctual allies) for protection.

Video game addiction in general is a growing concern, though outside of India, much of the anxiety surrounding the issue is not aimed at PUBG . While PUBG crafting guide|https://pubgfrontierzone.com/ seems to be the dominant battle royale game in India, Fortnite is much more popular elsewhere in the world, and has had its fair share of strange addiction stories tied to it as well. One of the more extreme examples saw a young girl admitted to rehab for Fortnite addicti
That belief can be seen not only in Metal Gear Solid concept art but this new short film-style trailer. Nothing seen in the trailer can actually be executed in the game, after all. Well, except wiping out your opponents, that is. Instead, the trailer retains the general themes and concepts represented in the game. It also emphasizes the epic, tense, and amusing scenarios that can arise in the game - all of which serve to make the genre so addictive. With a big screen Resident Evil reboot coming, Hollywood isn't giving up on mining material from games. Thankfully, Vogt-Roberts is helping to pave the way and show them how it's d
