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 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
Shockingly, the test did not go well for Apex Legends . The test was conducted on the PC version of each of these games at multiple times in the day between two players on the same server with a ping of about 25 milliseconds each. At the end of the day, Apex Legends featured the highest amount of network delay (highest, shortest, and average numbers) between the damage, gunfire, and movement categories. Black Ops 4 ‘s Blackout followed next with slightly better numbers but overall much higher than what would be considered normal. Fortnite ultimately came back with the smallest network lag numbers with both Ring of Elysium and PUBG tips|https://pubgfrontierzone.com/ close beh
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
Saying that kids are psychopaths because of PUBG seems like a bit of a stretch, but it’s true that there has been some bizarre behavior associated with the game. For example, there was a viral Facebook post that claimed a man left his pregnant wife due to PUBG addiction , and there was also a reported incident where a Chinese child was killed jumping off a building in an attempt to mimic PUBG . There are less specific incidents in India itself, or at least very few that have been publicized, but regardless, 16 people have now been arrested for playing the g
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
In an interview conducted with GamesIndustry.biz , Greene was asked about his current position within the company and what his stance was moving forward with games like PUBG and the battle royale genre as a whole. Greene indicated that he believed the team behind PUBG is more than prepared to thrive in his absence, which gave him the chance to announce the Special Projects division. When prompted about the state of battle royale in general, though, and his position on it, Greene gave a response that may shock fans of his w
While the weight of Greene’s experience with harassment clearly continues to stay with him, he also acknowledges how it has helped him grow both as a person and as a leader. Health has become a priority for Greene, who after working 14-hour game development days on PUBG now insists on taking weekends off and ensuring he makes the most of his vacation t
One user, a YouTuber known as Battle(non)sense, analyzes and tests the more technical aspects of popular video games like the netcode, then posting the results to their channel. With a glut of popular battle royale games currently available, the user took it upon themselves to test out the most popular ones including Ring of Elysium , Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , Fortnite , PUBG , and Apex Legends . Battle(non)sense ultimately tested network delay for all of these games and went a step further by comparing a set list of netcode related features they of
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
