Finally, the patch for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds also adds analog stick acceleration when jumping out of the plane and while parachuting. For many, the experience had previously felt painful to experience due to issues with the Xbox One version’s performance , and the fact that using the sticks didn’t offer any way to speed up and get to the ground faster than the competition. For a complete list of the patch’s contents, check out the rundown toward the end of the arti
Titled “My Response,” the short video is devoid of PewDiePie’s trademark shock humor, and directly addresses his use of a racial slur. The YouTuber begins by saying that he always found the use of inappropriate racial slurs by other players “immature and stupid” before conceding that he hates how he “personally fed into that part of gaming as well.” PewDiePie continues by saying that his use of a racial slur had “slipped out” in the heat of the moment and that he’s “disappointed” in himself because this latest incident demonstrates that he has “learned nothing” from all his past controversi
This latest incident is the second such moment in 2017 where PieDiePie has found himself in hot water over something he has said or done. A few months ago, the popular YouTuber drew criticism after he had made a series of anti-Semitic jokes in one of his videos , resulting in a considerable amount of fallout. Most notable, Disney ended its association with him and cancelled his YouTube Red horror s
Since Fortnite: Battle Royale doesn’t require any money up front, it immediately brings up some concern over whether or not it will be “pay to win.” However, Epic Games has confirmed that there will be no microtransactions that allow players to buy better guns than their opponents. As detailed in a blog post on Epic’s official website, paid items are planned to be “cosmetics or compendium-like content.” Also, those who purchased Fortnite between September 12-19 are eligible to receive a refund, since Battle Royale was originally announced as part of the main g
Even with the millions of copies that PUBG has sold, the untapped console market is huge, with over 60 million PS4s sold, as well as over 33 million Xbox Ones. Of course, some console owners play on multiple platforms or just aren’t interested in the battle royale genre, but with 93 million potential players, odds are that Fortnite: Battle Royale will be successful. On top of the user base, it is free-to-play and players are not required to own the original Fortnite game released earlier this y
While fans may have been expecting microtransactions to come only after the complete release of the game because of Battlegrounds’ FAQ, its early inclusion should not harm the game. Since the system is optional and cosmetic, players who opt in and opt out will remain on an even footing, and gamers looking to spice up their look have an opportunity to do so earlier than they might have otherwise. Of course, players won’t see their own cosmetics too much if they jump in the upcoming first-person only serve
However, given the staggering popularity of Battlegrounds in spite of its early access state, the inclusion of microtransactions makes sense. As Greene says, it needs to be tested like anything else to ensure it works properly when the game leaves early access. And with the millions of fans already in the game , there are undoubtedly those who want to start customizing their character right
Taking all of this into consideration, it’s great to see Bluehole Studio bringing another feature that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fans on both PC and Xbox One can enjoy. Without a doubt, the inclusion of the First Person Perspective mode on the console version of the game will help bring more attention to the title overall and potentially pull some Xbox fans away from their time with Pubg Weapons competitor Fortni
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has built up a massive following in the PC gaming community, with enough players on Steam to go toe to toe with Grand Theft Auto V and challenge even Valve’s own games. All this while the game is still in development. One update coming to the game soon is expected to offer a new way of playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds by letting gamers dive into first-person only servers, and the official PlayerUnknown Twitter just showed off how an important first-person setting lo
As it so happens, this isn’t the first instance of players getting some kind of comeuppance after cheating in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , as Tencent–that is, the company responsible for the game’s Chinese localization and the mobile port–recently helped police arrest 120 cheat makers in China . Interestingly enough, some Chinese cheaters caught in the crackdown had already done jail time in the past, which makes one wonder if PUBG Corp’s huge ban of 100,000 players will actually assist in deterring further exploitation in the fut
Without a doubt, one of the most popular features to be incorporated into the PC version of Bluehole Studio’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was the addition of a first-person mode , as it brought about a new layer of immersion into the game. Now, fans on Xbox One will be able to take part in the title’s First Person Perspective (FPP) mode thanks to a brand new patch from the develo
