PUBG Is Going Overboard With Microtransactions

It's great to see that Greene has realistic views towards his next game. Trying to replicate the success of PUBG would be a near-impossible task, and every move he makes in the future will be under a microscope. There will always be angry fans and critics going forward, so his attitude of " I'm probably Going to Pubgstation to get sh*t on, but that's okay " is the right one to h


Of course, it isn't hard to see why PUBG Corp. and Bluehole are concerned about Fortnite . In the time since its battle-royal mode launched, the game has seen a surge in popularity among both content creators and casual games. The game has seen such success that not only has it beaten the record for most concurrent players previously held by PUBG but it is also now reported to make more money than it


After months of waiting, **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** is finally releasing the full version of its Sanhok map on June 22. Coming exclusively to the PC version of the game, PUBG 's third map will be 1/4 the size of the other two, which makes it conveniently close to the dimensions of Fortnite . As well as a new locale to explore, players are also being lumbered with more controversial ways for PUBG Corp. to make money thanks to a Fortnite -inspired event p


With Sanhok's smaller scale, matches are expected to be quicker and a dynamic weather system promises to cause trouble as PUBG whittles its 100 players down to one lucky winner. Sanhok has already been live on the test servers through four testing periods, but the time has come for its general release as developers promise yet more changes to what the test gamers have already s


In a community announcement on Steam , PUBG 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


"But our name was used to officially promote their game without our knowledge. There was no discussion. It was just a bit surprising and disappointing to see our business partner using our name officially to promote the game mode that is pretty similar to us and there was misunderstanding in the community that we're officially involved in the proje


While PUBG propelled Greene to superstardom within the gaming community, it wasn't his first project. He previously made a name for himself by helping birth the Battle Royale genre by creating mods for both ARMA 2 and DayZ . Then, he went on to consult on Daybreak Games' H1Z1 (which recently made its way to PlayStation 4 and managed to get over 4.5 million downloads in just three days) before teaming up with Bluehole in order to create PlayerUnknown's Battlegroun


Either way, it's good to see updates regarding anti-cheating measures and justice in the form of a $5.1 million fine. PUBG continues to expand with an AMC Walking Dead partnership , a new map , a new mode and a variety of other updates as it continues to dominate the gaming scene alongside competitor Fortni


At this point, it's too soon to say whether the game will completely eclipse PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . After all, Battlefield V has a multiplayer mode and a single-player mode, which are things that may take away the focus from its battle royale mode. It also means that the development team will be unable to completely focus on the battle royale game mode, something that may work in the PUBG team's fa


It's important to remember now that regardless of how successful PUBG Corp. and Bluehole are, new battle-royal titles are appearing at a faster and faster rate. The main example of this is coming later this year with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , which is set to feature a battle-royal mode called Blackout and is sure to also cut into other games player bases. The point is that there is no stopping the tide and most fans just want all these games to live together in harmony. Is that too much to


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ creator Brendan Greene aka PlayerUnknown never expected the Battle Royale shooter to become such a huge hit for his team at Bluehole, but with success comes pressure. PlayerUnknown recently spoke out bout the side-effects of creating such a popular game. Greene stated that he knows his follow-up project isn't going to become as much of a cultural milestone, and that it's " _probably going to get s*** o


There are many banes to any competitive game's longevity, but none are more annoying than cheaters. In a game where skill and ability should determine outcomes, the presence of aimbots or other cheating devices can seriously ruin the reputation and player base of a multiplayer game. Developers of PUBG are recognizing that fact and have recently released an update to their Steam page regarding their anti-cheating measures, which you can read in full he
