Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, the creator behind PUBG _ , has officially left the battle royale genre behind in pursuit of a new direction and the potential of other, less-explored genres. The creative mind behind _PUBG recently left his position at the game's studio in favor of heading a new internal division called PUBG Corp's Special Projects divis
A couple of years after its last release, Respawn Entertainment surprised the game industry by simultaneously announcing and launching a free to play battle royale title called Apex Legends . While many other attempts were made and ultimately failed to capture the success of PUBG and Fortnite , Apex Legends continues to grow at a rapid pace having just crossed 50 million players in about a months time . Even though its popularity remains high and content updates continue to arrive at a consistent rate, Apex Legends does suffer from a few issues that negatively sets it apart from its closest riv
In a statement made to The Indian Express , Agrawal explains that the offense is bailable, but will go to court. He said, "In the procedure, they will be shown as immediately bailed out by police. The case will go to the courts and there will be a trial for not following the notification issu
A lot about the new move for Greene is unclear, including what his role will be in PUBG moving forward. It's possible he will still continue to offer significant input on future changes to PUBG , or it's possible he will be entirely focused on new projects instead. The only info we currently have about the new team being formed is that it currently exists and is apparently hiri
Even with these potential networking problems, fans continue to flock to the free to play shooter thanks in large part to its engaging gameplay, fun mechanics, and fresh take on the saturated genre. More content could be right around the corner as dataminers have found new details for upcoming characters like Octane as well as a Battle Pass for players to unlock even more content on a seasonal ba
In terms of networking features, Apex Legends also came back pretty barebones. As of right now, the game doesn't have Network Warning Icons, it does not favor the shooter limitation for players with more than 200ms ping, and it's missing many standard networking settings like an FPS limiter and a Network Graph or Overlay. Packet Splitting is also set as server to client and sends 5 packets per update, the highest of all the games listed in this test. The more times the packet is split, the higher the chance that the player sees lag or odd behavior. Now, it's worth pointing out that each of the other games in this test also suffered from their own issues, but Apex Legends had negative results in nearly every category tes
"The notification falls in two parts. One is the person who is playing the game is liable for notification violation. At the same time, people who are aware that they are playing PUBG and still not communicating this to the authorities are also liable for an equal amount of violati
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 vehicles|https://pubgfrontierzone.com/ . 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
In a recent article published by the Navbharat Times, the publication said, "There are dangerous consequences to this game. Many children have lost their mental balance." The Navbharat Times then went on to say that kids are becoming "manorogi," which is the Hindi word for "psychopa
"The past five years of my life has been all about battle royale...today, I'm excited to announce that my new day-to-day focus will be heading up a new division of PUBG Corp.: PUBG Special Projects. While I'll remain as consulting creative director on PUBG , development will be led by Taeseok Jang and the fantastic team I have had the honor of working with over the past three yea
As Battle(non)sense points out, the networking side of the game seems to have been less of a focus than the moment to moment gameplay and fresh take on the genre as a whole . Considering EA is currently looking to hire a senior network engineer for Apex Legends and that the game has garnered a staggering amount of success since it released last month, it's looking likely that many of these issues may be fixed sooner than la
Recently, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been making headlines due to a ban of the game in certain areas of India. Student associations have called PUBG addiction worse than drug addiction , and governments have actually started arresting people for playing the game. The disdain for PUBG and its apparent effect on people in India has gotten so extreme that an Indian publication has now accused the game of turning kids into psychopa
