Currently, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a third-person shooter that forces players to fight to the death on an island, and it's incredibly popular as is . The third-person camera allows players to scope out targets over walls and around corners, giving them a strategic advantage. A first-person camera will make spotting enemies in the game more difficult and riskier, as players will have to peek out from behind cover to do so. The upcoming change ups the stakes for intel gathering. While Battlegrounds currently allows players to toggle a first-person view, it lacks some of the polish and tools FPS gamers are used to. One tool that's been missing was a field-of-view slider, making players' views narrow. In its next update, Battlegrounds will be getting first-person only servers, and with them a FOV slider. PlayerUnkown shared how that will affect players' views in a Tw
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fans are anxiously awaiting the release of the game's major version 1.0 update, with each new mini-update sparking more excitement in preparation for the big roll-out. Yesterday, Bluehole announced that it would be adding vaulting and climbing to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , only adding to the overall anticipation. But today, the developer released an update includes an alteration that may leave players disappoin
"You probably won't believe me when I say this but whenever I go online and I hear other players use the same kind of language I did, I always find it extremely immature and stupid. And I hate how I now personally fed into that part of gaming as well. It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of. And it just sort of slipped out. I'm not going to make any excuses as to why it did because there are no excuses for it. I'm disappointed in myself because it seems like I've learned nothing from all these past controversies. And it's not that I think I can say or do whatever I want and get away with it. That's not it at all. I'm just an idi
This isn't the first time that High Rez has been accused of ripping off popular game genres, either. Back when the game was first released, many claimed that it was a direct Overwatch rip-off , and there was even discussion of whether Blizzard could sue over how blatant it was. Similarly to the current situation, COO Todd Harris had to come out and defend Paladins , claiming that it wasn't a cl
Titled "My Response," the short video is devoid of PewDiePie's trademark shock humor, and directly addresses his use of a racial slur. The YouTuber begins by saying that he always found the use of inappropriate racial slurs by other players "immature and stupid" before conceding that he hates how he "personally fed into that part of gaming as well." PewDiePie continues by saying that his use of a racial slur had "slipped out" in the heat of the moment and that he's "disappointed" in himself because this latest incident demonstrates that he has "learned nothing" from all his past controversi
If this project sees success, will we start to see other hero shooters like Overwatch attempt a battle royale mode, or as Chisam says, "battleground" style modes to compete with Paladins ? Maybe a year from now we will see an "Overwatch: Battlegrounds" and have the discussion of whether they are stealing from Paladi
While we'll have to wait and see how PlayerUnknown addresses the issues of inaccurate aim and seeing over obstacles, Battlegrounds players should at least be able to vault over obstacles more easily s
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , the Internet's biggest and most popular battle royale style game, has become so well known that it is hard for new games to come on the scene. While it is no surprise that developers are trying to claim their own share of this genre's profitability, it has now become incredibly difficult for them to do so without being accused of copying PUBG Strategy . The latest iteration of the battle royale formula comes in the form of High Rez Studio's Paladins: Battlegrounds , and it is already being accused of steal
The newest patch spent just a day on test servers before going live earlier today, and fans quickly noticed that amongst the smaller issues it addresses, the update decreases item spawn levels on the starting island. This refers to live rounds of actual gameplay and not the opening lobby where players can grab weapons like the Groza or the 9 mm VSS sniper rifle and various tools before boarding the pl
Kim continued, explaining why the company was the concern. From Kim's vantage point, and that of Bluehole as a whole, Epic Games released a game mode "that is similar to [Bluehole] that has similar elements," and that's a problem considering the two companies' professional relationship. "We use Unreal Engine to develop PUBG , and we pay a large amount of royalties based on the size of our success to Epic Games," explained Kim. "Epic Games always promoted their licensing models [saying], 'We want to support the success of indie developers,' and [Bluehole is] this indie developer that has been the most successful one using the Unreal Engine this year, and that's the problem that I s
