With that in mind, PUBG Corporation will be thinking about ways to not only maintain PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ position, but push it even further, and turn the game into an essential landmark of video games as a whole. As World of Warcraft shows, some games can become more than just games, particularly when it comes to building something around online play, but doing so requires a level of quality that few games can reach – and a smidgen of l
With a relatively modest budget, the filmmaking team enlisted a batch of active-duty Navy SEALs to create one of the most gritty and grounded military operation films ever conceived. Not only are the leading men in Act of Valor actual servicemen, the directors also employed a number of unconventional production techniques – including live ammunition and explosives. However, is the actual film – aside from all the realistic combat sequences and compelling production choices – an enjoyable and high-octane experie
The result for Silicon Knights was catastrophic. Not only did the court find in favor of Epic Games, but it also awarded Epic $9.2 million in damages and ordered Silicon Knights to destroy the unsold copies of any games that used this Unreal Engine code. Following the loss of the court case, Silicon Knights filed for bankruptcy in 2
Fortnite dances and taunts have become a sensation, inspiring cringey yet occasionally funny videos across the internet. And I’m sure you’ve seen kids doing the dances from time to time. Sure, you want to shake your head out of moderate to severe disappointment, but you can’t deny this sensat
Nintendo may be one of the biggest companies in video games, but there was a time where the company’s place in the industry could have been in jeopardy. 1981’s Donkey Kong was Nintendo’s strongest foot into the arcade market up to that point, introducing gamers to two of the most iconic characters in gaming. Universal, though, felt that Donkey Kong was too similar to its own King Kong , and launched a suit against the comp
This ruthless cycle has brought about a rapid evolution in online multiplayer games, esports, and streaming opportunities, and it’s been fascinating to observe. Today we sit less than a year since the launch of PUBG and it has broken all sorts of records, becoming the number one game on Steam, hitting numbers in the millions of concurrent players. Through a deal with Microsoft, PUBG also found itself launched on Xbox One for the 2017 holiday season, and despite its atrocious quality on that platform , it quickly surpassed 5 million in unit sales. It’s a be
How impressive it then that the free Fortnite achieved even higher player counts, and in the last few weeks has taken over PUBG as the number one played (and streamed) shooter. Rapid content updates, better communication with its user base, a broad appealing title available on both consoles and PC have allowed it to take over while PUBG conversely sits relatively stagnant on updates, instead favoring a focus on sketchy loot box microtransactions (many of which now require real-money to open) and all of which can be sold for real-money raising concerns for hacking and the effects of gambl
Infamous lawyer Jack Thompson, who became a major player in the violent video games furore of the 1990s and 2000s, took Sony to court over the shooting of police officers Arnold Strickland and James Crump, and dispatcher Leslie Mealer. Thompson stated that the killer, Devin Moore, was recreating scenes from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City , and FPS story guide|https://fpspedia.com/ blamed Sony and Rockstar for the murders.

Because of this, Screen Rant has dug deep to find the most controversial video game lawsuits of all time. The following lawsuits not only caused a stir when first announced, but also in some cases left a long-lasting impression on the video game industry as a whole. Read on to find out m
When anybody copies anything, whether it be yesterday’s homework or a triple-A video game, that person or company is usually slammed for doing so. Unusually, though, that’s not the case for Fortnite , as the game wears almost all of its influences on its sleeve despite still continuing to dominate the mar
Not only does Fortnite do a better job of how they roll out their skins and costumes, but they also just have better cosmetics than PUBG. Fortnite ’s skins have become iconic to the gaming industry ranging from tomato heads to full-on armors like the Omega out
If only the character moments were as effective as the visceral combat scenarios. The plot spends a lot of time centered around two Navy SEAL squad mates and best friends – showcasing the “true life” experiences servicemen endure as well as their “acts of valor” on the battlefield. However, in their effort to bring authenticity to the proceedings by using actual SEALs, McCoy and Waugh ultimately undermine the success of the realistic and gritty combat sequences with stilted dialogue and stiff performances from their lead actors. It’s obviously a touchy subject – since these are real people who have (and continue to) risk their lives for their country; however, more experienced actors could have ultimately provided a better foundation for the film’s onscreen emotional c
