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 get sh*t on, but that’s okay ” is the right one to h
According to a report from the Korean Times on Friday, PUBG Corp., a Korean based developer, filed a lawsuit against Epic Games, specifically their Korean arm, asking the court to determine whether similarities between Fortnite and PUBG constitutes copyright infringement. Per the report, PUBG Corp. filed the injunction with the Seoul Central District Court back in January, though no other information around the filling has be revealed to the pub
The term “asset flip” refers to when a developer buys generic items available in an engine’s storefront, like Unreal or Unity, and plops them into the game. These can include things from character models to buildings to environmental effects. The problem arises when developers use these assets to cheaply and quickly produce new maps or environments for their g
As PUBG and Fortnite continue to duke it out at the top, let’s not forget that other battle royale titles are out there vying for the attention of players too. The likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V are introducing battle royale modes, so there is some stiff competition for **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** . For the time being though, let’s let Greene and the company bask in their success of 227 million players each month and a supersized sales figure on PC and X
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ downward turn in popularity has happened while Fortnite has ascended into the mainstream. The two games have had a tumultuous relationship since Epic Games launched their Battle Royale mode late last year, and they are now involved in a legal battle with PUBG Corp. over copyright infringement . Over the past several months, Fortnite has seen several gameplay overhauls, had a crossover event with Marvel , and even teased its first vehicle, which has all helped in establishing the game as one of the top titles to
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
As our in-house art teams built Miramar, they began to rely less on store-bought assets, although they continued to use them strategically, because it just doesn’t make sense to build everything in the game world yourself. We also re-used some things from Erangel in Miramar. One of our lead artists (a guy called Dave) puts it this
It is still a two-horse race between PUBG and Fortnite , but with the latter’s recent release on Switch and also heading for Android, the colorful Fortnite is edging ahead of PUBG ‘s more realistic backdrop. Thankfully, PUBG has a trick up its sleeve with the new Sanhok map. Getting a game-wide release on June 22, Sanhok – a mix of the Thai word “fun” and “chicken” – will join fan-favoite maps Erangel and Miramar but add a taste of Southeast Asia. Elsewhere, PUBG confirmed it will be getting a snow-capped winter map later this year as w
While PUBG Maps 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
In addition, the post goes on to cite the recent arrest of fifteen suspects in connection to developing and selling cheating programs that affect PUBG . These cheating programs also contained within them a Trojan Horse software, which essentially piggybacks its way into your computer on another, legitimate program and then begins to collect information on you from behind the sce
The first thing to understand is that if you’re just starting up a team, you’ve got to lean on asset store work because that’s the only way you can spin up a game fast, and for a reasonable price, to quickly find the fun. Hiring an art team of 40 people to “try a game” and “see if it’s fun” is simply not a smart way to work—this is what the asset store is for! It’s a great resource for teams that want to work sm
