Secret Origins: PUBG and the Battle Royale Arena

Players running around the map can also experience downhill jogs turning into free falls. Though the player still appears to be touching the ground in these cases, the falling animation comes on and they slide down the hill until landing, and sometimes take serious dam

Karnage: With PUBG PC/console you will run across a higher level of skill. With Mobile, it is more common to win a chicken dinner even if you’re not a pro player. In order to become a pro on PC it takes far more practice, higher-end equipment, and a good establishment in the pro community. I personally enjoy mobile more because I am able to play anytime, anywhere, just using my mobile ph

In 2012, a modder by the name of Dean Hall released a mod for ARMA 2 called "DayZ." Its extreme survival focus being the result of Hall’s desire to create an experience that would cause its players to seriously consider their surroundings and survival needs, rather than just blindly reacting. As it turned out, many gamers out there were hungry for this new kind of gaming experience, and DayZ released to massive praise and popularity. So like ARMA 2 before it, DayZ also attracted a healthy modding community, and it wasn’t long before some members of that community starting trying to adapt the game’s survival elements for pvp-focused experiences. It wasn’t until a year later though, in 2013, that PlayerUnknown would make his debut and deliver one of the most influential DayZ mods to date, "PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale."

The standalone Fortnite Battle Royale has been praised as a creative, colorful take on survival multiplayer, a sub-genre of the medium that has absolutely exploded in 2017. While most survival multiplayer games are dreary by necessity, Fortnite Battle Royale somehow adds vibrancy and an evolving canvas of options to players while still preserving the feeling of impending doom that makes it a heart-pounding endeavor. The sky is the limit for Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale in 20

So why did For Honor never seem to gain much traction in 2017? It's tough to say—a lot of games got lost in the shuffle of what has to be one of the gaming industry's most illustrious years yet. Ubisoft has remained committed to providing new content for players, however, and anyone who missed For Honor the first time around would be remiss not to give it a look during the holiday sea

After the mod transitioned to ARMA 3 and took-off in earnest, Daybreak Game Company (formerly Sony Online Entertainment) took notice and started development of a battle royale mode for their then upcoming game "Just Survive" (formerly "H1Z1"). In relatively short order, the developer invited Greene to their studio to ask if they could use his mode in the game. Greene agreed and they wound up bringing him onboard the project as a consultant. Just Survive’s battle royale mode would come to be known as "H1Z1: King of the Kill" and helped popularize the fledgling game genre even further.

A lot was expected of Sony's PlayStation Classic. Following on from the success of Nintendo's own retro consoles, the prospect of a miniature PlayStation pre-loaded with the best games that the console had to offer was mouthwatering for some. After all, the original PlayStation had an amazing library of games, and as such this should have been like shooting fish in a barrel for S

E3 2018 was full of fantastic game reveals, and as such some may have expected Square Enix to be one of the most exciting parts of the expo. After all, the publisher has a number of giant games in the pipeline, including the likes of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake . Unfortunately, Square Enix's conference was perhaps the most disappointing of E3 20

There's no clear reason not to include this feature, and it will make players coming from other third-person shooters like Metal Gear Solid V and Splinter Cell: Black List more comfortable with the contr

Crunch has been a contentious topic in gaming as more light is shed on unhealthy working conditions within the industry, and this casual reveal once again sparked discussion, with some wondering whether realistic horse testicles were really worth pushing developers far beyond safe boundaries from both a physical and mental health perspect

For all of the disasters that 2018 has seen, none even come close to the failure that is Fallout 76 . Almost every aspect of Bethesda's multiplayer-focused Fallout game has been a catastrophe, not least the game itself. Fans of the series have been seriously let down with Fallout 76 , with the game including some ridiculous bugs and glitches and earning its position as the worst-reviewed Bethesda Slg game guide in over a dec

Part of the charm of the game is the way it balances killer and camp counselor, a tightrope act that shouldn't be ignored. Mechanics mesh extremely well with gameplay and give players a variety of options in escaping Jason Voorhees —unless they're lucky enough to play as him instead, a delightful experience that is equal parts frenetic and fun. Sure, parts of Friday the 13th: The Game are disappointing, but it was, for at least a few weeks, one of the most hotly-debated and thoroughly-enjoyed multiplayer titles of 2017, earning it a spot on this l
