On The Future Of PUBG
Now, that date has arrived, but Dr DisRespect's revival had something of a bumpy start. His stream was due to start at 2 p.m. ET, and very quickly picked up 350,000 concurrent users, but not before the entire site was plagued by a series of technical issues that even managed to break the front page. The streamer then stated that he had broken Twitch over on his Twitter account, although eventually things did get back to normal on the platf
And finally, for you developers out there, Bluehole is working on a PUBG Developer Portal and API that will allow developers to create "compelling resources for players." The API will include match data at the match-level, season-level and lifetime-level, allowing developers to create custom games within PUBG itself. This in hopes that it will help eSports groups create and manage games for broadcast.
More importantly though, PUBG updates is finally getting a map selection, easily the most requested feature ever since the PC version got the Miramar map. The Xbox One version currently only has the original Erangel map but is getting Miramar next month. Details on how the map selector works and why it took so long can be found here . It's still being developed but is nearly complete so there's no time frame
_PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds _ is cracking down on cheaters trying to hack the system by permanently banning them. The multiplayer online battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation last year quickly became one of 2017's most popular video games appearing on many best video games of the year lists and receiving several nominations for Game of the Year and other awa
First, though, he mentioned updates. The team is committing to more frequent updates, with big content delivery coming every two months, and smaller updates coming more frequently. The big ones will make changes to systems or drop content, where smaller updates will focus on bugs. Aesthetics will be updated now and again as well. Bluehole will also launch an Experimental Test Server to help get feedback from players on future content.
For the past six months many gamers have been discussing pay-to-win loot boxes in games such as Star Wars Battlefront 2 , a title which removed gameplay buffs from purchasable loot boxes due to backlash. Many have also called for games to only offer cosmetic loot which only changes a character's appearance rather than their ability to do something in a game so that those with more money to burn do not have an unfair advant
PUBG Mobile features a lot of smart gameplay tweaks compared to its counterparts that help it feel very natural on mobile devices. But while these changes seem to have been made with the mobile version in mind, they could also be used to improve the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds experience on PC and Xbox One as w
Besides automatically looting and equipping upgrades, PUBG Mobile improves the looting process in another key way. Whenever a player is killed in PUBG , their body disappears and is replaced by a brown box that holds all their gear. Thanks to the game's color scheme, it can sometimes be very difficult to find these boxes, but PUBG Mobile makes it easier by marking them with glowing green lig
PUBG Mobile translates the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds experience to mobile devices so well by streamlining a lot of things from the main game. This includes sprinting, as PUBG Mobile allows players to sprint automatically and indefinitely in whatever direction they desire. This may not seem like a big deal to someone who doesn't play a lot of PUBG , but anyone who regularly plays the game can attest that a lot of time is spent running. This can be tedious, so it would be nice to have an automatic sprint option so perhaps players can do something else when those kinds of situations ar
We think its a smart move for PUBG to crack down on cheaters harshly. It's not fair for players who follow to rules that those who choose to cheat and make the game unfair be allowed to continue playing and messing with the system. Hopefully the team will have less problems in the future as the game continues to develop, but when it comes to online multiplayer games it's hard to keep cheats at bay with our ever-changing computer technol
Dr DisRespect's stream ended up hitting a pretty major figure, breaking the record for the highest number of concurrent viewers in Twitch history and earning major subscriber numbers and donations throughout. At its peak, Dr DisRespect managed to bring in 388,000 viewers, pipping the previous record of set by League of Legends streamer Tyler1 in his own return to the service following a ban from League developer Riot Games. Although there claims that Tyler1 hit over 400,000 viewers, Twitch has confirmed that Dr DisRespect is now the record holder . With that in mind, it's no wonder that Twitch was struggling a little under the l
The test servers will be home to a lot of tweaks to gameplay as well. Bullets don't currently penetrate through limbs or vehicles, but this mechanic will be tested out soon. This in an attempt to add depth to the ballistic system and to make the game feel more realistic. He reassures players that they will be listening especially closely to player feedback on that one.
