When it comes to the technical aspects of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4, those looking for an experience rich in graphical and sonic fidelity will walk away sorely disappointed. It must be noted, though, that unlike the way in which the title released through Xbox Game Preview about a year ago, PUBG on PS4 is at the very least stable, despite the sporadic environment bugs and avatar errors that can generate weird, but brief glitches. Plus, it manages to run at a decent frame rate for the most part, save for some isolated instances of stuttering and slowdown when certain areas are highly populated with players at the beginning of a ma

Interactions with the level geometry can also be troublesome when players are prone. Aiming works a little bit different for players lying on the ground, and being on ground that isn't level can result in a jittery camera that makes it impossible to

This technique is one that can be the difference in winning or losing engagement in PUBG. Having the ability to quickly escape a room or pursue an enemy through windows is an excellent ace up any player's sleeve. It may sound like a small and useless ability but it can be the difference between living or dying in a heated firefi

PUBG has a massive island for players to explore and wage war on, and there are more maps coming , ut it can be hard to get around the battleground without the ability to vault. Escaping through windows and even hopping over knee-high fences can prove difficult, and numerous crouch-jumping tutorials on YouTube attempt to help players better traverse the

As his consultancy role with Daybreak Game Company was coming to a close in 2015, Greene was approached by Chang-han Kim of Bluehole. Kim offered Greene the opportunity to develop a new battle royale-style game. After meeting with Kim at the studio’s South Korean headquarters, Greene was brought on as a creative director. Development for PUBG officially began in early 2016, with game seeing an early-access release in March 2017.

Most games nowadays are monetized by loot boxes, where gamers pay actual cash for in-game items that aren’t guaranteed. It is a form of gambling, and it preys on young and vulnerable gamers. So, it’s a breath of fresh air to realize that Fortnite ’s microtransaction system is the Battle Pass, which is basically a seasonal subscript

There's plenty to consider in a game of PUBG, but each game can typically run the same. It's all about optimizing the players' options to avoid being killed early on. The rules are simple. A circle with surrounding the island and as the game carries on, the circle will continue to shrink. This brings players closer together, forcing them to fight considering the circle does hefty damage to players who enter it. A game of PUBG can average around 30 minutes depending on how the player decides to handle themselves. Would they like to be a player who enters situations guns blazing to take out as many opponents as possible? Would they like to play much more conservatively in order to survive until the very end? There are several ways these games can end for Project Windless both of these situations. This guide will provide tips for all types of play

Some map objects, walls, and windows are also too high up to be seen through or over while in first-person mode, showing that they may have been designed with only the higher third-person camera in mind. Also, sometimes shots in first person don't go quite where the player is looking -- if aiming just above an object, the bullet can hit that object instead of the intended tar

In a May 2017 interview with PCGamesN , Brendan Greene, the man behind the "PlayerUnknown" handle, discussed his initial inspiration for the mod. "I’d seen what Survivor GameZ did with DayZ," Greene said. "[…] It was a great event but I couldn’t play in it because I wasn’t a streamer. I thought: ‘Well, I want to do this. I want to play this’. I had a DayZ mod server that I had scripted lots of stuff into and decided I wanted to make a mod. I just thought, ‘Right, let’s try and make a battle royale mod’, and the genre was born." In its initial form, PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale pitted 25 players against one another in a shared starting area with a cornucopia of gear lying before them. Once the countdown reached zero, the race for life and loot was on! Fun fact: one of the most iconic mechanics of the mod and its successors, the constantly shrinking circle, arose due to Greene’s skill-level as a programmer. "The ever decreasing circle – I couldn’t program squares like it is in the Battle Royale movie," Greene told Rock, Paper, Shotgun in a July 2017 interview . "The code for doing squares that shrink, I just couldn’t do it because I wasn’t a very good coder, right? So I [changed] it to an ever-decreasing circle that sort of moved around inside itself, because that’s how I could do it."

Not to mention, controlling the third-person camera tends to be a nuisance. This is chiefly true when players enter into a small, cramped building, as the perspective often cannot find a happy medium between being too close and too far away. One rarely gets a good handle on their surroundings in tight locations, leaving them open to unforeseen atta
