Commonly referred to as PUBG, the fellow video game property was first released in 2017. Inspired by the popular Japanese film, it kickstarted the Battle Royale genre of games, Pubgfrontierzone.com selling over 5 million copies in three months. A version of the game was eventually released on Xbox One. However, it has been frequently plagued by performance issues, bugs, and aggressive monetization tactics, including insanely expensive DCEU skins . Despite that, and the fact it has since been surpassed by Fortnite __ in terms of popularity, PUBG still boasts a solid fanbase. In an effort to reclaim and expand on that base, the game will next release on the PS4. Although many fans were pleased with the announcement, there are also those that consider the move far too la

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ has finally revealed the cost of its hotly anticipated crossover with the DC Universe, but the _PUBG x Suicide Squad event isn't the smash hit fans of the game were hoping for. The PUBG Joker & Harley Quinn skins cost a total of $45 USD combined, which has prompted an extremely negative response from the game's commun

Video game addiction in general is a growing concern, though outside of India, much of the anxiety surrounding the issue is not aimed at PUBG . While PUBG seems to be the dominant battle royale game in India, Fortnite is much more popular elsewhere in the world, and has had its fair share of strange addiction stories tied to it as well. One of the more extreme examples saw a young girl admitted to rehab for Fortnite addicti

Unfortunately, things don't seem to be getting any better in the land of PUBG , as Game Revolution reports the Joker skin will reportedly run players $20 while Harley Quinn is $25. That isn't even for dead-on representations of those two characters as they appear in Suicide Squad , either - the skins are costume sets, so they merely alter the player's model to look mostly like the character they've chosen. Needless to say, fans are disappointed by the high cost of the costume packs, which can be bought individually for equally unsettling prices. Fans who just want to purchase Joker's makeup, for instance, will still need to shell out $5, while Harley Quinn's bat is

Overall, it's a head-scratching decision from PUBG , especially as the game continues to lose huge swaths of its playerbase to Fortnite 's more popular battle royale offering. Some of the cost can probably be attributed to licensing expenses, but for a title in desperate need of some good PR, this is yet another move that's just going to drive players away. After making a public promise to fix the issues in PUBG earlier this year, the developer has appeared to do anything but, and it seems like things are beginning to spiral out of control for a game that used to be one of the biggest in the wo

Screen Rant spoke previously with Vogt-Roberts, at San Diego Comic-Con, regarding his inspirations for Metal Gear Solid . He also shared his thoughts on video game adaptations in general. Believing that movies have a tendency to absorb elements from games, Vogt-Roberts opposes the view that there are no decent video-game films. Citing Snowpiercer and Edge of Tomorrow as examples, he believes that such adaptations work best when not directly adapting t

In celebration of the imminent launch, a trailer was released on the official PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds YouTube channel. Although billed as a trailer, the video plays more like a short film, with Vogt-Roberts' big screen sensibilities shining through. The video stars Nick Robinson and Jason Mitchell, who previously worked with Vogt-Roberts on Kings of Summer and Kong: Skull Island , respectively. After parachuting into a real-world version of the game's environment, Mitchell is beset by numerous gun-toting threats with only a frying pan (and some perfectly punctual allies) for protection.

While PUBG 's addition of the DCEU Joker & Harley Quinn skins is an obvious nod to competitor Fortnite 's Infinity War event earlier this summer, there are a few differences that make PUBG 's decision much more of an issue for fans. First, unlike Fortnite , which is free-to-play, PUBG costs $29.99, which means the Joker and Harley Quinn skins cost nearly as much as the full game. Second, Fortnite 's crossover event happened during the summer the movie launched, while PUBG 's partnership with Suicide Squad comes two years after the movie was in theat

Recently, the Chinese government created an Online Gaming Ethics Review Committee to ensure video games do not contain "ethically questionable content." Of the 20 games reviewed by this new committee, 11 developers were instructed to take "corrective action." 9 games have been selected, including Fortnite , to be banned in its entirety. While the banned games may be a surprise to some, it's worth mentioning that China has even censored Winnie the Pooh in Kingdom Hearts

That's not to say, however, that the games selected by the Review Committee have been banned over a meme. For the most part, the games banned seem to come down to blood and gore, vulgar content, overly revealing female characters, and inharmonious chatter. The latter is defined as a "perceived lack of effort to combat toxicity , vulgarity, and politically sensitive speech" in ch
