The Biggest Video Game Publisher Fails Of 2018

Ian Huston: My esports career started in Vainglory , a mobile MOBA, so I always like to check in when there are new updates and to keep up with the community. From there, I really enjoy both Hearthstone and Overwatch . As many others like me in the industry have found, the more I work in esports, the less I have time to play. There is no difference between multiplayer and single player for work and entertainment. Rather, it’s just a healthy divide by a person to denote what is work and play for them persona

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

2017 truly was the year of the multiplayer game. With 2018 just a few days out, which titles best captured the feeling of forward momentum that the genre will hope to carry into a new calendar year? Game Rant has compiled a list of the games we feel are the best examples of just how incredible multiplayer games became in 2

I'm at our new @PUBATTLEGROUNDS office in Madison today. The team is working on our desert map. Here's a WIP preview of this new location... pic.twitter.com/ReLbsvwv9A — PLAYERUNKNOWN (@PLAYERUNKNOWN) July 3,

As it is, the third-person camera sits up and to the right of the player. This allows for easily checking around corners when they're on the players's right side. If a player tightens their aim, they can switch the camera over to their left shoulder to help peek around a left corner. Pressing Shift and Q or E will even let a player select the shoulder to look over first when focusing their

Currently, PUBG allows players three aiming modes in both first- and third-person slg game Collectibles modes. By default, players will have a loose aim, holding the right mouse button will tighten their aim somewhat, and clicking the right mouse button once will aim down their weapon sig

At launch, fans agreed, and the game effectively disappeared with barely a whimper. Because of that, gamers have been wondering if there is even a future for Metal Gear going forwards. As one of Konami's most well-known franchises, the reaction to the game must have truly h

Added new weapon Mk14 EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle). Mk14 EBR is a Designated Marksman Rifle that can only be obtained from Carepackages. This weapon is chambered for 7.62mm and sniper rifle attachments

The Mk14 is a semi-auto sniper rifle weapon comparable to the game's current SKS, as another crate-only weapon however, the chances of getting it (and other care package items) is becoming increasingly rare. With the previous rifle add-on (the Groza), soon the game will have to cycle some of these weapons into the regular loot ta

In a May 2017 interview with PCGamesN , Brendan Greene, the man behind the "PlayerUnknown" handle, discussed his initial inspiration for the mod. "I’d seen what Survivor GameZ did with DayZ," Greene said. "[…] It was a great event but I couldn’t play in it because I wasn’t a streamer. I thought: ‘Well, I want to do this. I want to play this’. I had a DayZ mod server that I had scripted lots of stuff into and decided I wanted to make a mod. I just thought, ‘Right, let’s try and make a battle royale mod’, and the genre was born." In its initial form, PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale pitted 25 players against one another in a shared starting area with a cornucopia of gear lying before them. Once the countdown reached zero, the race for life and loot was on! Fun fact: one of the most iconic mechanics of the mod and its successors, the constantly shrinking circle, arose due to Greene’s skill-level as a programmer. "The ever decreasing circle – I couldn’t program squares like it is in the Battle Royale movie," Greene told Rock, Paper, Shotgun in a July 2017 interview . "The code for doing squares that shrink, I just couldn’t do it because I wasn’t a very good coder, right? So I [changed] it to an ever-decreasing circle that sort of moved around inside itself, because that’s how I could do it."

The method that Blizzard used to announce Diablo Immortal was certainly a big part of the problem. Blizzard waited until BlizzCon, a convention for the most dedicated of its fans, to unveil the title, while giving no mention of Diablo 4 in spite of conversations being held about the possibility of revealing the game. The offhand treatment of an angry player base intensified matters too, leaving lots of Diablo fans furious with Activision Blizz

Now onto the new crates themselves. Here is a look (up top and below) at some of the items available in the 2 free-to-open crates. There's an additional one only available during Gamescom that requires the purchase of a $2.50 key to o

No list of the year's best multiplayer games would be complete without PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . It's difficult to express just how successful the game, which started as an early access title on Steam and became a worldwide phenomenon overnight, has truly been, but we will try. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds set a new record for most concurrent Steam users earlier this year, surpassing industry staples like Dota 2 , while also forming the foundation of a new eSport and online streaming sensation, with the title frequently occupying one of the top spots of metrics tracking Twitch's viewership figu
