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
While other battle royale games may have gotten a head start on the PlayStation 4, Sony is hoping to make up for it with some exclusive content on their version of PUBG . As described on the official PlayStation Blog, players who pre-order the game can get some exclusive skins, the most prominent being a Nathan Drake outfit. This costume is based on the character's desert attire in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception . Additionally, pre-order customers will be able to nab Ellie's backpack from The Last of Us , another Naughty Dog game. The Last of Us is due for a sequel on the PS4 in the future, titled The Last of Us Part II . Finally, PS4 users can enjoy a PUBG -themed avatar and theme if they pre-order the g
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
PlayerUnknown _ 's _ **BATTLEGROUNDS ** ' Erangel, the map that arguably kickstarted the battle royale craze, is finally getting a much-needed facelift and mechanical overhaul later this summer. PUBG is one of the most successful battle royale titles of all time, although the game has recently fallen on harder times with the subsequent successes of the now much more popular Fortnite and, to a lesser extent, Apex Legends ,
Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, the creator behind PUBG _ , has officially left the battle royale genre behind in pursuit of a new direction and Our Web Page 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
" The last man standing concept is great, but I've done that. I don't really intend to make PUBG 2. I've done battle royale, it's time to try something else. There are ideas about how we connect to people and how we provide the different experiences I hav
For PS4 owners, this announcement may be too little, too late. Owners of other platforms have been able to enjoy PUBG for almost two years at this point, and since then, the battle royale itch has been scratched by the free-to-play Fortnite and Call of Duty's "Blackout" mode. It certainly doesn't help that the word of mouth on the Xbox One's technical performance has been largely negative, with graphical issues and choppy frame rates being cited by players. Despite enthusiasm from Sony and PUBG Corp., it is difficult to determine just what audience this release is
PUBG has also been openly criticized about the decisions being made behind the scenes of the game, especially those regarding skins and other cosmetic items usually purchased through microtransactions. The infamous Suicide Squad collaboration from last year raised the ire of many a player for the frankly ridiculous cost of some simple cosmetic costumes, and the game's marketplace on Steam has gone through several iterations of comedic inflation on sought-after items. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but PUBG also has been losing ground when it comes to pure play, with many believing Fortnite to be a more enjoyable experience while Apex Legends has more refined and skill-intensive mechanics. Where once there was a clear niche PUBG occupied, now the game's identity has begun to wa
Greene's future projects are definitely going to be ones to watch. The mind behind one of the most influential games of the past few years has earned that kind of respect. Whether he's able to make lightning strike twice or three times is another thing altogether, but with the talent and resources Greene's position now afford him with, the only thing limiting that potential is the mind of a developer who has already proven he has a knack for the innovat
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
