This latest incident is the second such moment in 2017 where PieDiePie has found himself in hot water over something he has said or done. A few months ago, the popular YouTuber drew criticism after he had made a series of anti-Semitic jokes in one of his videos , resulting in a considerable amount of fallout. Most notable, Disney ended its association with him and cancelled his YouTube Red horror s
Margenau’s right, voting for the game won’t make it come any faster. What’s the point of that category anyway? A more accurate name may be "Upcoming Game with the Best Marketing." Red Dead Redemption II is on there and all we’ve seen of it is a single teaser trailer. But you could make a similar argument for every category. Does anyone know what the qualifications are for Trending Gamer? The Best Esports Game category doesn’t contain a single game released in the year 2017, and speaking of eSports, there isn’t a single female nomination for Best Esports Player, Presented by Omen and
Epic Games has yet to respond to Bluehole's harshly worded statement, but fans of both games are already weighing in. Some argue that Epic should have seen this coming, as the developer directly names Battlegrounds as an inspiration, and that Bluehole was always going to take issue with it. But others say that Bluehole is in the wrong, arguing that the concept of battle royale modes are nothing new. Grand Theft Auto Online has a battle royale mode for example, while PlayerUnknown himself, Brendan Greene, Eeejp.Com actually consulted on H1Z1 's battle royale mode before Battlegrounds was relea
While PewDiePie has issued an apology for the aforementioned anti-Semitic jokes, as well as promised to scale back on some of his brand of shock humor, this latest incident undermines his earlier promises. With his latest apology still fresh in the minds of everyone in the community, only time will tell whether his latest act of contrition will st
This particular decision was reached after PUBG Corp ran an extensive and comprehensive data review of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to find "new pattern" of cheating occurring with the game on PC. As seen in a Steam Community post regarding the matter, PUBG Corp isn't taking the issue lightly, as it has stated that those who have been found taking part in exploiting the game will be "permanently banned in a single wa
As has been the case every year with The Game Awards, there’s been plenty of dissent and mocking on various social media platforms. Kurt Margenau, developer at Naughty Dog and co-direction on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (which itself is up for three awards) took to Twitter to lament the need for the Most Anticipated Game category, specifically The Last of Us Part II ’s nomination. Others have complained about certain games not getting a nomination, such as Yakuza 0, which has been shut out of the Awards complet
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has built up a massive following in the PC gaming community, with enough players on Steam to go toe to toe with Grand Theft Auto V and challenge even Valve's own games. All this while the game is still in development. One update coming to the game soon is expected to offer a new way of playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds by letting gamers dive into first-person only servers, and the official PlayerUnknown Twitter just showed off how an important first-person setting lo
The ability to expand field of view should be helpful for players who felt the standard first-person view was too narrow. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is already competitive, but the extra degree of immersion and risk that comes with the first-person mode may make it more competitive. And the FOV options should satisfy serious FPS players who are used to this tool in other competitive shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Overwat
68 different games received a nomination, with Guerrilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn leading the pack with ten nods. The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild follows with six nominations. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice , Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and Cuphead got five nods. Gorogoa, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds , Super Mario Odyssey received four nominati
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
All the nominees were selected by members of the Academy’s peer panels, with one panel for each award category. Each panel is composed of "industry experts" (mostly game developers or representatives of publishers), and the winners will be determined via a confidential voting proc
Without a doubt, the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds continues to grow, as the title recently managed to reach over 3 million players on Xbox One just about a week ago. Of course, with such a huge pool of gamers flocking to the title, there are bound to be some rotten apples in the bunch, and the development team at PUBG Corp has confirmed just that by revealing its intentions to ban over 100,000 cheaters on the title's PC vers
