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
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
In all of that time, I've never seen an update as influential to PUBG as the addition of Canted Sights. In case you have no idea what that means or you're just looking to learn how to use them, here you
The Canted Sight is being added to the game in the upcoming patch 25, which is currently playable on the PUBG Test Server on PC. It's a weapon attachment that's being added to the loot pool and allows players to quickly switch between any sight of their choosing and a canted red dot si
"You enjoy playing the game, and we love your feedback, but ultimately it has to be our vision... You really have to be careful about dealing with that feedback, and ensuring that the vision stays relatively pu
"It's crazy, the hate I received. I just have to ignore it," is how Greene describes what's become routine harassment for him online. He's been told, "that they hope I burn to death and die slowly," and has had violence threatened against his daughter. Greene even explains that his design team has been affected by harassment, that, "they really took it to hear, and that kills me." During his time working on the game, harassment remained consist
The issues started with PUBG 's launch, with Greene describing how the game's server tech was built for a million concurrent users, only to have 3.2 million. "We had to do so much to catch up," Greene described, noting that, "We were a team of 30, 35 people." PUBG's developers were overwhelmed and doing their best. But despite the game's Early Access status, some players were demanding impossible changes and improvements and blamed the development team for not meeting their expectati
Brendan Greene, also known as PlayerUnknown, may no longer be working on the battle royale game that still carries his name, but the impact its development left on his person remains clear. In an interview during Spain's Gamelab conference, Greene described his time leading the development of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , the tumultuous post-launch period, and the harassment and abuse he's faced as a result of the game's overnight succ
Earlier this month, PUBG Mobile was banned in several Indian districts, following concerns over its content and addictive nature. Rajkot police have been heavily enforcing the ban across the city, making ten arrests in the last two d
Greene isn't speaking just about himself either; he wants to instill this same philosophy into his new studio, the PUBG Special Projects team. He aims to get his team to a place where they work "four days a week and Pubgfrontierzone.Com have a day to do whatever they want." Happiness is his priority for his development team, but even he acknowledges that they're all going to have to work hard to get to that po
I've logged an absurd amount of hours into PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ( PUBG ) on Xbox One (God rest my soul) and two Steam accounts (because apparently I was too good and they thought I was hacki
On the whole, the addition of this one new weapon attachment stands poised to change the fundamental way that people play PUBG . In the past, you've usually needed a long-range gun and a short-range gun and you've had to equip attachments to them to help with that distinction. Now, however, you can employ an M416, for example, throughout the entire game for both short and long-range fights. This essentially frees up your second weapon s
Moreover, it's worth mentioning that the 9 banned games are all battle royale games like Fortnite , so it's unclear if the country is just attempting to crack down on the genre as a whole. Without further ado, the full list of games selected for corrective action or withdrawal from the marketplace foll
At the moment, it's uncertain if the Chinese regulators have begun enforcing this ban because Fortnite and PUBG are still playable. Until then, however, all players can enjoy all that season 7 of Fortnite has to offer, including the latest OP weapon, the Infinity Bl
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
