Paladins: Battlegrounds Developer Pushes Back On PUBG Comparisons

Team-killing is frowned upon in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , so when Dr DisRespect killed a teammate in order to have a spot on a vehicle, it was met with a swift, but temporary, ban. Dr DisRespect, who seems to be playing a character as opposed to being his genuine self, decided to complain about his ban to Greene on Twit


When Epic Games announced that Fortnite would be getting a Battle Royale game mode , the comparisons to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds were instantaneous. With both games now offering 100 player, PvP gameplay, many wondered how Battlegrounds would be able to fend off this new challe


Epic Games has yet to respond to Bluehole's harshly worded statement, but fans of both games are already weighing in. Some argue that Epic should have seen this coming, as the developer directly names Battlegrounds as an inspiration, and that Bluehole was always going to take issue with it. But others say that Bluehole is in the wrong, arguing that the concept of battle royale modes are nothing new. Grand Theft Auto Online has a battle royale mode for example, while PlayerUnknown himself, Brendan Greene, actually consulted on H1Z1 's battle royale mode before Battlegrounds was relea

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , the Internet's biggest and most popular battle royale style game, has become so well known that it is hard for new games to come on the scene. While it is no surprise that developers are trying to claim their own share of this genre's profitability, it has now become incredibly difficult for them to do so without being accused of copying PUBG . The latest iteration of the battle royale formula comes in the form of High Rez Studio's Paladins: Battlegrounds , and it is already being accused of steal


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


At the moment, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' FPP mode is only available to be played solo on Xbox One, with group servers likely to be added at some point in the future. As of now, FPP servers for the console version of PUBG will be deployed in North America, Europe, and Ocea


Currently, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a third-person shooter that forces players to fight to the death on an island, and it's incredibly popular as is . The third-person camera allows players to scope out targets over walls and around corners, giving them a strategic advantage. A first-person camera will make spotting enemies in the game more difficult and riskier, as players will have to peek out from behind cover to do so. The upcoming change ups the stakes for intel gathering. While Battlegrounds currently allows players to toggle a first-person view, it lacks some of the polish and tools FPS gamers are used to. One tool that's been missing was a field-of-view slider, making players' views narrow. In its next update, Battlegrounds will be getting first-person only servers, and with them a FOV slider. PlayerUnkown shared how that will affect players' views in a Tw


The ability to expand field of view should be helpful for players who felt the standard first-person view was too narrow. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is already competitive, but the extra degree of immersion and risk that comes with the first-person mode may make it more competitive. And the FOV options should satisfy serious FPS players who are used to this tool in other competitive shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Overwat


The Game Awards ' 2017 nominees are exactly the games you’d expect. Horizon Zero Dawn has the most nominations, up for Game of the Year, Best Game Design, Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, and lead voice actress Ashly Burch has been nominated for Best Performance. Other candidates for Game of the Year are The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , Super Mario Odyssey , Persona 5 , and most controversially, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , a game still in Early Acc


It seems that the comparisons have not gone unnoticed by the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' ( PUBG Crafting Guide ) team either, as today, developer Bluehole sent out a press release criticizing Epic Games over its Fortnite update. Bluehole vice president Chang Han Kim says, "After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known." Kim also reveals that Bluehole has had "an ongoing relationship with Epic Games throughout PUBG ’s development as they are the creators of [Unreal Engine 4], the engine we licensed for the ga


At first, Greene seemed to be playing along with Dr DisRespect, but then took offense to DisRespect's threat of violence. Greene released a lengthy statement addressing the issue, admitting that Dr DisRespect's comments were likely facetious in nature, but even so, they hit close to home due to an unpleasant experience Greene had in the p
