Between this and the armored UAZ vehicle that's also been announced, it looks like players of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have plenty to look forward to over the coming months. Exciting though they may be, they will take time to implement; time PUBG really doesn't need to lose to its biggest competitor, Fortnite . Still, changes and additions like this will go a long way towards keeping PUBG beginner Guide relevant and further defining its distinct take on the genre it launched into gaming's mainstream consciousn

With the overwhelming nature by which PUBG captured the gaming industry’s attention, it was inevitable that several other developers would hop on the train and integrate battle-royale style modes into their own ongoing franchises. Easily the most popular of these recent spin-offs has been Fortnite: Battle Royale, a free-to-play version with a cartoon aesthetic and over forty million players since its launch last summer. As the current competitor with the biggest opportunity to take PUBG down a notch, Bluehole should embrace this healthy competition and look into what has kept Fortnite within reach of its own arena survival title. While we did address a few elements that the developer could look into in an article of ours from last year, Fortnite has more recently begun to introduce limited-time modes that spice up the formula, such as 50v50 team deathmatches . There’s no need for PUBG to directly steal any of Fortnite’s modes, but Epic Games’ willingness to creatively expand upon the core mechanics with interesting new twists is a potential-heavy notion that the team at PUBG Corp could stand to benefit from if they’re looking to entice players back to their smash hit.

Dr DisRespect finally made his return to Twitch.tv today, and in the process managed to take the platform down. The streamer, whose real name is Guy Beahm, is one of the most popular around, and his caustic personality has gelled well with Twitch users. He's the (self-proclaimed) “face of Twitch” after all! The former video game developer has managed to pull in huge numbers with his PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds streams, leading to the doctor becoming one of the biggest Twitch celebrities and winner of two awards for it last y

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

In addition to Zelda , many other 2017 games had great nights at the award event as well. Horizon Zero Dawn , the most nominated game at the awards with 10, walked away at the end of the night with multiple wins including Outstanding Technical Achievement and Outstanding Achievement in Story. Cuphead was another big winner during the ceremony, taking home three awards for Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition, Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction and Outstanding Achievement in Animat

Ever since its inception, the development team behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been trying to thwart cheating as much as possible, with one attempt being in the addition of reporting aspects to the game, including the somewhat recently incorporated 3D killcams and replay features . Furthermore, PUBG Corp. has, as Greene suggested to US Gamer, implemented “anti-cheating testing internally” with the company “working to build systems to really get a handle on the guys that don't want to play fa

It's no coincidence that some of the biggest names end up getting nominated for these prestigious awards. Last year, Blizzard's still wildly popular shooter Overwatch took home four awards including 2016's Game of the Year. Other big games from last year's event include Uncharted 4: A Thief's End , Pokemon GO , DOOM , Forza Horizon 3 , and Battlefield 1 . With the majority of 2018 still to come, it'll be interesting to see which games end up standing out from other titles and score nominations for next year's s

“You’ve heard us talk about open development a few times, but what does that really mean? For Codename: Savage it means we’re going to be building the map as you guys play it. We have months of work left to do; beyond refining the experience and making changes that impact balance, we also plan to add new vehicles, new weapons, and most exciting in our eyes are the new areas that we think will set this map apart from our first t

After losing its way with the Wii U, Nintendo has once again caught lightning in a bottle with its latest innovation in the Nintendo Switch. The console's strong start was helped in many ways by the outstanding Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , a game which took the familiar franchise formula and turned it on its head to craft something truly unique. It appears that the 30,000 members of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences are also pretty fond of the Switch as a number of exclusive games won big at the 21 st Annual D.I.C.E. Awards last ni
