There’s no doubt that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the most well-known games on the market today, as its introduction to the masses rejuvenated an interest in the battle royale genre as a whole, which gave rise to other famous competitors such as Epic Games’ Fortnite Battle Royale . With so many folks still vying for yet another Chicken Dinner in PUBG , it’s great to see that the developers remain dedicated in making the game run as smoothly as possible with updates like Patch
The PUBG Corporation’s lawsuit reveals that the company first acted against NetEase on January 24th, when PUBG Corp filed a complaint with Apple over the clone titles being available on the App Store. Although it is unknown whether PUBG Corporation asked for the games to be delisted, Apple forwarded the complaint to NetEase, who responded by denying that their titles infringed on the PUBG Corporation’s rights. Evidently, the PUBG Corporation now feels confident enough that they do to take NetEase to court over the matter. This is not the first time NetEase has been involved with a clone title; the company announced FortCraft , a game which looks suspiciously similar to Fortnite , although no legal action has yet been taken against them for that ti
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
Not all content will be entirely new; much of what’s planned for 2018 will be reworked content currently in the game, some of which has been long-requested by the PUBG player base. Of special interest are reworked parachuting and unarmed melee combat systems, both of which have been heavily criticized. Even larger is an overhaul of the entire Third Person and First Person mode animation system to increase smoothness and reactiveness, including new animations for switching car seats or entering a vehi
Of course, this isn’t the only change coming out of Fortnite ‘s playbooks. Another addition coming to the list of changes is an Emote System — a feature that will be coming to the Test Server “very soon.” For an idea of what this looks like, check out the gallery be
Rules of Survival and Knives Out are both 100-player battle royale games, featuring battles set on an island that players arrive to by parachuting from a plane. The battles, unsurprisingly, feature almost every staple of PUBG , from shrinking “safe zones,” to the collection of weapons and vehicles scattered across the
One final way the PC and Xbox One versions of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds could learn from PUBG Mobile is by adopting its Missions. PUBG Mobile gives players added objectives through these Missions, which come with additional rewards and encourage different styles of play. Simply put, Missions could give players more to do in pubg Collectibles besides just going after the Chicken Dinner, and could potentially lead to a more rewarding gameplay experience for s
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ developers, PUBG 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
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
In today’s gaming market, it is rather common for a highly successful release like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to be followed by an array of derivative clones, mostly on mobile platforms, made by developers hoping to profit from the game’s succ
The battle royale formula was not entirely the brainchild of the PUBG Corporation – PUBG itself certainly derived content from pre-existing games – but since its success, there has been a trend of other developers copying the PUBG model. The PUBG Corporation has been openly critical of titles like Fortnite in the past for seeming to be copying their formula, but the company has never fought so strongly against another title as they are now with this lawsuit against NetE
