PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds PS4 Review

All of this is not to say that PUBG on PS4 isn't fun, as it's definitely a serviceable experience for Battle Royale aficionados who want a more strategic and deliberately paced alternative to competitors like Fortnite and Black Ops 4 's Blackout . Unfortunately, though, there are still a host of problems that PUBG Walkthrough Corp. needs to address so as to justify the PlayStation 4 port's $30 price


However, in the context of battle royale titles as a whole? Gamers certainly won't be missing much by passing it up. It could get better with time; as of right now, it's clunky, inconsistently paced, and is running on an engine that clearly wasn't meant to support a battle royale experie


While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is far from the first Battle Royale game to exist, its early access release on PC during the first quarter of 2017 unquestionably kick-started a resurgence of the genre. Ever since then, myriad developers have been keen to introduce a bunch of different takes on this type of survival and last-man-standing gameplay. For example, Activision and Treyarch brought Blackout to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , Red Dead Online introduced its own unique Battle Royale game mode called "Make It Count", and of course, Epic Games found massive success in turning Fortnite 's Battle Royale into a free-to-play phenomenon. Now, with PUBG 's arrival on PlayStation 4 having occurred nearly two years after its introduction to the masses, it begs the question of whether or not the game is actually a necessity for Battle Royale fans on PS4, or a perfunctory shooter that made its leap onto the Sony console far too l


Try to capture the perfect moment where the remaining count seems stable. Doing this means jumping out at a time when nobody else is, which also means players can track other jumpers to land in a zone that is free of enem


The Culling has a troubled history, to put it mildly. It preceded even PUBG , hitting the market in early 2016 and launching to significant praise. However, it would squander all of this initial goodwill over the course of barely a single year, halting development on the freshly released title in favor of a new game, The Culling 2 . Fans were less than enthu


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds offers the chance to explore and scrap through the three gigantic maps of Miramar, Erangel, and Sanhok–with Vikendi having just recently entered the Public Test Server to boot. One's tasked with scrounging for consumables, armor, and weapons to survive matches populated with up to 100 players, as a storm circle slowly encroaches and forces those still alive to duke it out in tense, ever-closer firefights. This can be done as a Solo endeavor, or in Duos and 4-person Squads, but the goal essentially remains the same no matter the size of the team, and that is to be the only survivor(s) at the end of the ma


One of the biggest drawbacks of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 comes from its lack of polish, as it's almost a given that one will come across texture and detail pop-ins every time they decide to play a round. On top of this, there are some janky animations that can't be ignored, as well as other frequent object rendering issues. What's more is that the bland aesthetics and environments in PUBG leave a lot to be desired, with virtually every area on the game's available maps being nearly indistinguishable from one another, especially on the desert map Miram


Competition in video games has been a part of the system since the very beginning. We've come a long way from the 2D world of pong with bare minimum depth to real-time 3D battles happening in front of our screens. And if there is one game that has impacted the multiplayer in this generation, it is PUBG . The game is released on almost all major platforms by now and has become a cult classic alre


Sure, the core gameplay serves up a decent portion of enjoyability for those who simply want to dive in and do battle against others, as patience and persistence with figuring out the mechanics of PUBG on PS4 typically results in a more satisfying time each go-round. That said, the decisions behind specific control scheme choices for the DualShock 4 seem odd, and periodically makes for a needlessly steep learning curve. This is particularly evident in scenarios such as a tap of the Square button picking up and equipping items in the field, but needing to be held down in order to reload. Furthermore, holding L2 causes one to aim in third-person, while tapping that trigger will give players a first-person iron sights view, which is incredibly difficult to adapt to, much less master. Therefore, it's highly recommended to give Training Mode a try first before playing an actual ma


But player counts don't mean everything, and if we're still talking numbers, than PUBG mobile's player count of 400 million truly takes the cake. Statistics finally aside, it's time to tackle the meat and potatoes of these two games and decide which one is a truly battle royale k
