Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl

Still a sore spot amongst PC gamers is the fact that the previous game was only ever out on consoles. People couldn’t understand why Rockstar wouldn’t tap into that vast market, although most people theorize it was due to the incredible difficulties the programmers had coding the g
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 ai training match 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
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
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
Over on the Steam community forum for the title, developer Brendan Greene (aka “PlayerUnknown”) outlined what players can expect from the next Monthly Update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which includes a hefty number of updates for the game. Specifically, these include a new car horn feature when driving vehicles, the addition of first-person only servers for the game in Solo and Duo game types for North America and Europe, support for the Xbox One controller, new weapons and character customization options, and much m
On that last point, PUBG is by no means the “best” game from this year. On a technical level, it's still riddled with bugs and in dire need of fine-tuned optimization on PC (and on Xbox One as well, given the reports of its significant technical performance issues). Likewise, its progression and micro-transactions systems are a step back compared to the more satisfying sense of earning loot and rewards from investing time into it as games like Overwatch prov
Well, after the massive success of Redemption it is safe to say that Rockstar has the time and resources for a much smoother development of RDR2 , which should me it would be much easier to port the code to
With a name that strikes somewhere between wonderfully-bizarre and generically “video gamey,” the indie hit sensation PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (aka PUBG ) has proven to be anything but generic in the past few months, where it went from being a relatively unknown title to one of the year's biggest breakout succes
Specifically, Greene clarified with the game's new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd
I was one of those people for quite some time. Over the course of various preview events, conventions, and on my own time I've dabbled with a few different Early Access titles or survival games to varying success. Recent titles of the past few years, like Rust , We Happy Few , or ARK: Survival Evolved , grabbed my attention for a short amount of time thanks to their unique premises or ideas, but ultimately I ended up losing interest from some of the usual quirks of the survival sim genre. Given their love of crafting systems - which I often find unintuitive and confusing - and the need to monitor a series of Hunger/Thirst meters with death usually inches away, I've bounced off most of those titles fairly quickly. Survival sims can sometimes be intimidating to newcomers, and as a result that's sometimes made me reluctant to try t
