PUBG: Savage Map Adding Underground Cave System
After losing its way with the Wii U, Nintendo has once again caught lightning in a bottle with its latest innovation in the Nintendo Switch. The console's strong start was helped in many ways by the outstanding Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , a game which took the familiar franchise formula and turned it on its head to craft something truly unique. It appears that the 30,000 members of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences are also pretty fond of the Switch as a number of exclusive games won big at the 21 st Annual D.I.C.E. Awards last ni
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
Of course, not everything on the roadmap is targeting the Fortnite audiences and much of the upcoming plans are simple tweaks and polishing of what Pubg guide does best. Improving on the graphics, the art team is reportedly working on all around improvements to make the game more aesthetically pleasing. For instance, check out the new art direction on buildi
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
News comes from the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds development blog , where the studio was hoping to clear the air and create a prioritization list for the community. The most notable change in the works is a brand new island map that is set to be only 4x4km -- likely the biggest play towards the Fortnite audience. This new map will be available on PUBG 's experimental test server starting next mo
The latest and greatest gaming feud, Bluehole Studios' PUBG and Epic Games' Fortnite , is taking on a new level of competition. The PUBG development team laid out their plans for 2018 and it looks like they are trying to copy some of the more successful elements of what Fortnite brings to the increasingly-competitive battle roy
The PUBG Corporation is seeking damages from NetEase over their violations, and also seek to shut down both Rules of Survival and Knives Out . This isn't the first time that PUBG has had issues in China - just a few months ago, over one hundred PUBG cheat makers were arrested in the country by police working in concert with Tencent, the company responsible for PUBG's mobile port and Chinese localizat
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
Some of the PUBG team recently took a trip to South East Asia in order to draw inspiration from its unique geography. One location in particular, the Phraya Nakhon cave near Bankok, Thailand, will be serving as the primary inspiration for the cave system being implemented into the map. As seen in the image above, the cave looks like a giant hole in the gro
By shrinking the map down to a 4x4 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
The highly anticipated 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been delivered, detailing planned additions and changes for the battle royale game for the upcoming year. The lengthy roadmap broadly covers PUBG Corp.'s agenda, including forthcoming content additions, system reworks, and even thoughts regarding PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' eSports sc
Nominated for six different awards, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild cleaned up at the annual DICE Awards in Las Vegas, scoring four wins in some major categories. In addition to Outstanding Achievement In Game Direction, Outstanding Achievement in Game Design and Adventure Game of the Year, Breath of the Wild took home the coveted award for Game of the Year, beating out some tough competition in Cuphead , Horizon Zero Dawn , PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , and fellow Switch title Super Mario Odyss
While it may be the case that the PUBG Corporation objects to other developers profiting from games based heavily on their formula, it may also be the case that the PUBG Corporation has decided to act only now that they have released PUBG on mobile devices , and so are now competing directly with NetEase in the same market. Often, copycat titles go relatively unnoticed because they are released on mobile platforms only, where they do not compete directly with the original game on PC or conso
