E3 2018 is almost here, and leaks are starting to trickle out in advance of the massive gaming expo. The rumor flames have now been stoked by an anonymous contributor on 4chan, and they’ve revealed what’s purportedly a photo of the internally distributed PlayStation E3 schedule, which lists a series of the highly-anticipated trailers and reveals that will be emerging from E3 2
UPDATE: It looks like there’s already enough XP in the free missions to get to level 20, but our lead gameplay designer says he wants to make some changes next week to give players a little more wiggle room (to make it slightly easier to get to level 20). Updates will come next week. In the meantime, just do those missio
The latest developer letter on Steam is focused on the game’s optimizations as well as its new map Sanhok (formerly known under its code name “Savage”), which will include new vehicles and even an exclusive weapon. Free updates are all well and good, but the studio’s communications lead PUBG_Riggles took to Reddit to speak about PUBG ‘s loot boxes . People don’t want them, PUBG has them, and they’ve been a persistent focus for the game’s development while optimization issues, cheaters, and other nasty bits of business have seemingly warranted more attention than they’ve received. This has not gone unnoticed by the game’s massive community, which boasts over 600,000 subscribers to the official subred
The developers behind **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** detailed a new update and admitted to players that they have dropped the ball over the past year. In posts on both the Steam Community forum and subreddit for the game, PUBG ’s developers addressed a number of issues, including concerns regarding loot boxes and continued flow of randomized cosmetics being a priority for the stu
Anyway, I’m getting riled up here lol. Back to the story. The Madison folks were doing great work, so they began to take on more and more worldbuilding work. Miramar came about as result of collaboration between the new, PUBG Madison team and the Korean team at HQ in Se
I keep seeing misinformation about this (including in the comments section here already), so I sat down with our lead artists to get their perspective. They shared a bunch of fascinating information, so I’m passing it on here for anyone who’s genuinely interes
The term “asset flip” refers to when a developer buys generic items available in an engine’s storefront, like Unreal or Unity, and plops them into the game. These can include things from character models to buildings to environmental effects. The problem arises when developers use these assets to cheaply and quickly produce new maps or environments for their g
The first thing to understand is that if you’re just starting up a team, you’ve got to lean on asset store work because that’s the only way you can spin up a game fast, and for a reasonable price, to quickly find the fun. Hiring an art team of 40 people to “try a game” and “see if it’s fun” is simply not a smart way to work—this is what the asset store is for! It’s a great resource for teams that want to work sm
According to the math, in order to reach the highest rewards available to those without the Premium Pass, players have to invest as much as 2-8 hours in PUBG every single day between launch and the Pass’ end. That means that by the time people are reading this article, one day will have passed and everyone who didn’t complete their challenges won’t be able to reach level 20 without paying the $9.99 price
The Korea Times reported PUBG filed an injunction with the Seoul Central District Court against Epic Games Korea for alleged copyright infringement on Friday. Details are currently scarce on the PUBG Story Guide – Fortnite lawsuit, but past statements from Bluehole allude to the alleged copyright violation. ” We have also noticed that Epic Games references PUBG in the promotion of Fortnite to their community and in communications with the press, ” wrote Chang Han Kim back in September of 2017. ” This was never discussed with us and we don’t feel that it’s righ
Over the past year or so, it’s become clear that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been a huge influence on gaming in general, with its 100-player Battle Royale mechanic leading to games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ‘s Battle Royale modes. With the recent release of PUBG ‘s mobile version, the title is even managing to keep some semblance of pace with Fortnite , which eventually blasted past it in terms of Twitch presence on a platform formerly dominated by PUBG ‘s biggest streamers – but they are looking to change that going forw
When Epic Games announced the addition of a free to play battle-royal mode to their then burgeoning title Fortnite , comparisons to Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds quickly began to emerge. Since then, the shooter builder survival hybrid has become Battleground’s biggest competitor and now it seems the rivalry has gone to new heights, with PUBG Corp. taking Epic Games to court over the two games similarit
