PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ developers, PUBG story guide Corp., will no longer be tolerating some of these knock-off titles. The company, which is owned by the Korean publisher Bluehole, filed a lawsuit on the 2nd of April in the US District Court of Northern California against Chinese publisher NetEase, who published a pair of highly derivative smartphone titles called Rules of Survival and Knives Out that look and play extremely similarly to PUBG . The lawsuit accuses NetEase of both copyright and trademark violations in the two copycat tit
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
PUBG Mobile has drummed up some controversy for its use of bots for players’ first few games. This seems to have been a tactic to ease players into the mobile battle royale experience, but nevertheless, “winning” fake Chicken Dinners rubbed fans the wrong way. Now, that’s not to say bots, in general, are a bad idea. In fact, it’s easy to see how they could add to the PUBG experience on other platfo
How did this happen? Surely, you took note of the mini-map that showed your icon embedded within the red transparent circle, and heeded the warning of the on-screen notification stating the red zone would be starting soon. Obviously, you took note of the “Warning! Red zone has started!” message, and took shelter within the nearest building. No? You didn’t try to avoid the red zone at all? It may be time to rethink your strategy; a sentiment shared by Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds lead designer and director, Brendan Gre
By shrinking the map down to a 4×4 space as seen below, PUBG ‘s games will become much quicker and action-packed as players are confined to more dense locations from the very start. This, in turn, will lead to shorter matches, something that gets near-universal praise in the battle royale ge
While some PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fans may disagree with Greene’s stance when it comes to the notion of region locking the game in China, it would be difficult for one to claim that PUBG Corp. is not taking the issue of cheating seriously. After all, the development team behind the battle royale title has been steadily working on anti-cheat updates, introduced fresh rules in an effort to stop cheaters and unauthorized programs, and has banned more than one million players in the past for the offe
“It is an overwhelming voice already! And people say there’s no reason to it but it provides audio cover, it really looks cool when you’re fighting in it. And really, you shouldn’t be dying to the red zone. If you’re dying to the red zone then, I’m sorry but you’re not a very good player. It’s like, you know there’s a hundred meter safe zone around the edge of it, if you’re in a building there’s a very little chance of you getting hit, it’s there for a specific reason, it looks really cool and it provides tension. If you’re trapped in a fight in the red zone, it’s exciting! People say that it has no reason, but it does. It’s there for a very specific reason which is providing audio cover and even when it’s a little bit in the distance it provides enough cover to run a little bit, so, there are reasons. But, that said, if there is an outpouring of hate towards it, we may consider
“We just implemented ping-based matchmaking which really has improved the gameplay experience for a lot of players. It’s working out quite well and we’re still doing research. We have the data team looking into it and trying to improve it. And that’s the goal with the game, to keep improving it over this year and the next year and the next ten yea
Loot boxes! More loot boxes ! Locked loot boxes! Selling loot boxes! Cheating for loot boxes! This has been the story of **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** for a few months since developer PUBG Corp (a division of Bluehole) has slowed down on making their flagship game bet
As you can imagine, another major focus for the development team is working out the kinks in stability — a task which is a much more common topic of discussion for both the developers and the community. In this respect, Bluehole noted “it is impossible to solve these problems once and for all, but our goal is to continuously improve in this rega
Where Fortnite has significant updates on the content front, including fun new modes, seemingly every week, PUBG still barely runs on Xbox One and hasn’t done anything of note on PC since launching out of early access. For this reason, in the last few weeks Fornite’s popularity has skyrocketed while also earning mainstream buzz – positive buzz – something PUBG is starting to losing a little steam on for the first time in its young l
