The Most Controversial Video Game Lawsuits

2018 has been the "Year of Battle Royale," with hordes of games jumping on the bandwagon and attempting to mirror the success of games like _ Fortnite _ and _ Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds _ . While _ Call of Duty Black Ops _ battle royale mode, _ Blackout _ , has had a successful run thus far, few have seen anything close to the success that _ Fortnite _ and _ Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds _ have maintained. Between the two titles, _ Fortnite _ has remained (arguably) the number one choice for the battle royale ge


Something for PUBG Corporation to think on is the fate of H1Z1 . One one of the title's game modes, King of the Kill, sat extremely close to PUBG. As a matter of fact, it's where PUBG head honcho Brendan Greene cut his teeth and was extremely popular as a Steam early access game, even getting its own CW livestreamed eSports tournament . However, PUBG has been able to push above and beyond what H1Z1 could achieve, partly by delivering a more accessible and immediately interesting experie


But wait, there's more! On top of all this new gear to loot, Adrenaline syringes will also now spawn in the regular world and are faster to use (6 seconds instead of 8 seconds). Players will however, lose sniper rifle magazines and level 3 helmets which will now only appear in supply dr


One pitfall that PUBG will need to watch out for is not to become too niche or difficult for players to get into. At the moment the sheer potential and power of PUBG is enough to keep new players coming and old players sticking around, but that's not going to last forever. Eventually, players will drop off as they are enticed by new games that hit the market. That doesn't mean purely direct competitors to PUBG , but games across the board - some of those highly anticipated games of 2018 will take PUBG players away regardless of whether they offer similar gameplay at


Tom Cruise gave a face to this sci-fi war movie about a soldier reliving a day over and over again, but the story of Edge of Tomorrow started as a Japanese comic series called "All You Need is Kill." The writer came up with the idea after noticing how video games used death to train players, turning them from beginners into veterans - just like the movie's hero. If the video game ties weren't clear enough, the idea for the movie's robotic exoskeletons was also introduced in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - released just months la


But this is also the one players have been waiting for and may help bring some folks back to check out PUBG who left for Fortnite . There's a new vehicles, a new gun, multiple new weapons mods, map selection, substantial supply drop changes, and an entire rebalancing of most Destiny 2 Moments of Triumph the PUBG weapons. And the best part of all: no mention of loot boxes . That could be because of the latest news of a few countries making them illegal


When you start playing PUBG it’s very easy to get overly excited and just try to take out as many people as possible. But all this will lead to is someone finding your location or getting you first because you didn’t plan the right course of action to actually be tactical. It’s very easy to forget this when you play the game, it can be so easy to be trigger happy and next thing you know you’re out of the match because someone else found


From the get-go, it seems that developer PUBG Corp. was constantly putting out fires. After a mere three months of wildly popular success having sold over five million copies, _ PUBG _ came hurtling back to earth almost as fast as _ Fortnite _ became a household name. From hacking , to cheating , to offensive in-game items , to overall bugs and performance issues , _ PUBG _ has been through the ringer. At one point, PUBG Corp. even sued the developer of _ Fortnite _ , Epic Games, claiming that the game creator had stolen _ PUBG’s _ battle royale formula. However, the lawsuit came to a surprisingly abrupt end and was withdrawn, essentially allowing the two battle royale titles to coex

Modern game makers can dream up entire universes, but games made in the ‘80s and ‘90s had to rely on levels, and chains of boss battles for success. Die Hard may be the most famous movie to actually take the idea of fighting enemies from level to level literally, but the original writer’s idea for the story was basically a live-action version of Elevator Action , a game released just a few years later. Since then, movies like Dredd and The Raid: Redemption have embraced the same structure, sending heroes up against gangs of enemies, mini-bosses and one massive final battle to achieve victory. The confined settings and levels may just be a way of keeping a story simple, but the solution is one that game developers were the first to really expl


There are quite a few of fundamental gameplay changes in addition to what comes inherently with what's listed above. Along with a pair of new optics to pickup for instance, the existing optics can be customized a little by players. You can now change the reticle style and color on the red-dot, holo-sight, and 2x scope using the scope zeroing keys (Page Up/Page Down by defau
