PUBG Is Going Overboard With Microtransactions

Rigney went on to assure fans that the most recent map, the Sanhok jungle map, was made with even less pre-made assets, and that the upcoming winter map , will have an even higher ratio of original cont


In a community announcement on Steam , PUBG vehicles revealed what makes Sanhok different to its larger rivals and what gamers can expect when they explore the dense jungles and forgotten temples of Southeast Asia. A big draw is the fact that loot will spawn more frequently than on the Erangel and Mirimar maps and there is a brand new weapon fighting the SCAR-L rifle for fan-favorite status. New to Sanhok is the QBZ95, an assault rifle with 5.56mm rounds that can hold up to 40 rounds. That isn't all that's new with the latest update tho

In addition to some new modes, Update 0.4.0 brings a variety of gameplay adjustments to PUBG Mobile , including combat optimization, vehicle improvements, voice chat optimization, and UI improvements. There have also been changes to the in-game s


The developers have also added a Training Grounds mode to PUBG Mobile . The Training Grounds mode is only available for solo players, allowing them to practice with weapons and items on their own before jumping into a match with oth


Because we’re steadily investing more and more in building our internal art teams (along with lots of other teams), Miramar used fewer external assets than Erangel, and Sanhok used fewer still. Our fourth map, the one coming out this winter, uses fewer still, but if we’re smart it’ll almost certainly still involve some mix of assets from different sources. This is a good th


For the uninitiated, an "asset flip" (a term coined by YouTube personality Jim Sterling) is when a game is made primarily of pre-made assets, as opposed to original artwork or designs. However, some PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developers have pushed back against the notion that the game is an asset flip, including PUBG creator Brendan Greene and more recently, PUBG Corp. communications lead Ryan Rigney, who spoke about the issue on Red


Although a map like Miramar is a combination of in-house and external assets, the majority of the external assets are adjusted by our artists after the fact for visuals and for optimization/performa


It's nice to see PUBG Mobile 's developers feed some new modes into the game as well as make adjustments and improvements. With a few smart gameplay tweaks compared to the main game, PUBG Mobile quickly became one of the more popular battle royale mobile games at launch. Maybe the main game can even learn a thing or two from its mobile counterp


Developers rightfully urged players not to seek out cheating programs from dubious sources, as they could contain harmful software like this and compromise not only the game's integrity and security but that of the user's computer, compromising personal information like credit card numbers, banking information, passwords and emails. It's really not a hard thing to do, so readers, please always be wary of the things you download...and also don't cheat. That's


"Why should one of my artists spend two weeks on a generic sculpt if they could instead spend that two weeks adding real value for players elsewhere? How many times should a telephone booth be modeled? How many times do we gotta sculpt a cash regist


Aside from those games, one of the biggest surprises on the list is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds - one of the most popular Battle Royale games on PC, which released on Xbox One last fall and has amassed quite the player count on the console. Unfortunately, PUBG 's player count on PC has been dwindling, and with H1Z1 now out on PS4 in open beta , this would be the perfect opportunity for Bluehole to expand to the PS4 and establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with on consoles, especially with Fortnite continuing to dominate in the Battle Royale sp


Our reasoning for starting up that new studio is the same reason we started up PUBG Corp. as a separate company: we want to build up our teams slowly but steadily, to ensure quality hires and good culture fits, because we want to build a global organization to support PUBG for the longte


One of the new features hitting the mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is Arcade, which is a 28-player mode that can be played solo or with friends. Each match randomly selects one of six possible variations, adding a bit of a twist on the gameplay. For example, one variation limits the weapon selection to a specific type, while another grants players access to all weapons and items. The six variations are Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, All Weapons, Melee, Pistols, and Item Hea


This ongoing conversation arose as a result of Reddit discussion after players dug around in the Unreal asset store and found several items they claimed to be identical to current PUBG assets. You can check out the conversation here , if you're interested in the developing discuss
