PUBG’s Ryan Ringey Responds to Claims That Maps Are Asset Flips

This is hardly the first time tensions have been raised between the two companies over Fortnite’s battle-royal mode. When the new mode became available last year, vice-president of PUBG Corp. parent company Bluehole Chang Han Kim expressed concern over the new game mode copying PUBG , saying «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 kno

Despite these worrying numbers, PUBG is still an incredibly popular game. In fact, it’s still the most played game on Steam by far, and its concurrent numbers beat out all other titles on Valve’s gaming platform. While stressing that PUBG is far from dead, Bluehole has to be worried about losing such a drastic amount of players in a short amount of time. Losing 50% of active players is a huge deal, even if there’s still millions of people playing the game every

15 major suspects including «OMG», «FL», «火狐», «须弥» and «炎黄» were arrested for developing hack programs, hosting marketplaces for hack programs, and brokering transactions. Currently the suspects have been fined approximately 30mil RNB ($5.1mil USD). Other suspects related to this case are still being investiga

Anyway, I’m getting riled up here lol. Back to the story. The Madison folks were doing great work, so they began to take on more and more worldbuilding work. Miramar came about as result of collaboration between the new, PUBG Madison team and the Korean team at HQ in Se

Although a map like Miramar is a combination of in-house and external assets, the majority of the external assets are adjusted by our artists after the fact for visuals and for optimization/performa

There are a few key factors that have contributed to the loss of all those players. A big one is that PUBG ‘s key competitor, Fortnite , is a free-to-play game. Therefore, if more casual gamers are trying to get into the Battle Royale scene with friends, it’s a much easier to start playing Fortnite than it is to play **PUBG ** , and it helps that Fortnite is practically on every major platform out there. Players have also lost trust in Bluehole over loot box concerns, as they sell keys to unlock the loot boxes for real money (which can then be sold on the Steam market afterwards). Add to the fact that quality improvements have been slow in development, whereas Fortnite gets special events and sizable overhauls practically every w

It’s been a slow, but steady, decline for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ player count this year. By the end of February it had lowered to around 2.8 million, according to Steam Charts . In April, it finally sunk below the two million player mark, and it hasn’t managed to rebound aside from one good weekend in early May. Now, it’s finally below 1.5 million, and the trend continues downw

Because we’re steadily investing more and more in building our internal art teams (along with lots of other teams), Miramar used fewer external assets than Erangel, and Sanhok used fewer still. Our fourth map, the one coming out this winter, uses fewer still, but if we’re smart it’ll almost certainly still involve some mix of assets from different sources. This is a good th

For the uninitiated, an «asset flip» (a term coined by YouTube personality Jim Sterling) is when a game is made primarily of pre-made assets, as opposed to original artwork or designs. However, some PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developers have pushed back against the notion that the game is an asset flip, including PUBG creator Brendan Greene and more recently, PUBG Corp. communications lead Ryan Rigney, who spoke about the issue on Red

EA opened its E3 2018 press conference with a bang, finally confirming that Battlefield V will have a battle royale mode . Details about the multiplayer game mode have yet to be fully revealed, but it was enough to get fans excited. It was also enough for one very famous battle royale developer to take not

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ downward turn in popularity has happened while Fortnite has ascended into the mainstream. The two games have had a tumultuous relationship since Epic Games launched their Battle Royale mode late last year, and they are now involved in a legal battle with PUBG Corp. over copyright infringement . Over the past several months, Fortnite has seen several gameplay overhauls, had a crossover event with Marvel , and even teased its first vehicle, which has all helped in establishing the game as one of the top titles to

As to be expected, many fans of both PUBG and Battlefield responded to the tweet. In particular, many people made jokes about the ongoing lawsuit between Pubg Collectibles and Fortnite Battle Royale , suggesting that Battlefield developer DICE is about to get sued
