The fact that PUBG has an explicit rule against anyone ever working together unless you're specifically playing a team mode is something I didn't even know until 30 minutes ago, but is the perfect example of what I meant when I said it seems such a flat and sterile experience.

Wait is that really true lol

I feel like I keep hearing about all this weird unnecessary policing of things that the PUBG devs do and it feels weirdly strict for no good reason? Like that stream sniping issue that recently came up, it's like well it's your game and it's your right to do that but... really?

Also the thing with Fortnite where they are considering taking "further action" legally against the Fortnite devs is :rolleyes: Like sure okay maybe the Fortnite devs shouldn't be namedropping PUBG in their marketing but not a single thing about PUBG is original to you so don't even act like Fortnite is stealing your game idea

I disagree with a lot of your arguments in that I'll probably enjoy PUBG when I do play it (aka when it's no longer EA, for what that means nowadays) but yeah, everything I hear around the periphery--banning gimmick players and people who just want to screw around, overcatering to streamers, this whole Fortnite thing--makes me wary.

"Psycho Break" is a hilarious name, here's some shots from the artbook (which I own, it's fantastic!) where you can see just how poorly it creates a logo compared to "The Evil Within".



I uploaded the entire artbook during my LP and I suggest you go look at it if you like the Dead Space artbook because it's very cool and extensive.

I like the middle left one with the ice pick on top of "Psycho" cuz it gives some punchiness to the word "break". But drat Psycho Break is an awful name. GOD I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE EVIL WITHIN 2

I know people are trying to make PUBG into an esport and ironically the films and fiction that inspired the mode of gameplay are all very sports-like but I can't imagine caring about a competitive scene around the thing. I only watch as much of it as I do because all the media people I follow got sucked into it like that game that took over the Enterprise in Star Trek

I know from the bombcast that the winner of the invitational just sat outside the forcefield chugging health items and getting zero kills until the very end. :effort:

I also think the whole "peeking" thing, where you can angle the camera to see above fences and around walls while fully in cover is very lame, so I'll probably only ever play in first-person servers.

I didn't watch their first esports match so idk maybe it works, but I don't understand how that game is even remotely supposed to function in an esports context. the spectator stuff they've added is good but if you're a fan of one dude how the heck are you supposed to follow how he's doing. meanwhile in a fg tournament I can be just like "okay tell me when this dude is up and then I'll watch the semis/finals"

Competitions with more than 2 sides at a time have never really worked, because the best strategy invariable ends up being 'wait for everyone else to start fighting then swoop in for the kill'. If you look at the history of competitive FPSs, it started as Doom deathmatch free for alls, but eventually settled in to 1v1s (Quake 3 Arena), or team based settings (CSGO, Overwatch, TF2, etc). To make a king of the hill style FPS work competitively, you're going to have to bend over backwards to make people play the "right" way, and by then what is even the point.

I skipped ahead in the video to a part where they're talking about the new character designs they're able to do now with this new game. The new characters for Abe's race are cool but WOW the Glukkons! They're so varied and interesting looking while still obviously all being part of the same race. That poo poo is so cool. Loving those designs. They also focus a lot on the eyes which is always super important and it really shows

The logo needs to be better tho

edit: I really need to see gameplay cause man is the description of it killing my interest. Sometimes it sounds like he's describing an RTS, sometimes it sounds like it's like the original game only with crafting for some terrible reason

I went looking for hilarious salty gamers complaining about "teaming" in PUBG (and hoo boy is there a lot of "I'm playing SOLO it's bullshit if I need FRIENDS to WIN") and someone brought up a game I've never heard of that had a solution to this that actually sounds good ("good" working under the assumption that you can/should try to police this behavior at all):

If two players were in visual range of each other for a certain amount of time and didn't kill each other, they get separated into a little bubble. Two man enter, one man leave, and if one doesn't kill the other, after a set amount of time, they both die.

But again that's presupposing it's even a good idea, which of course it isn't because there is no reliable and foolproof way to police human behavior like that, and since Getting Actually Banned is on the line, you really need to be careful about what you do as a developer unless you want your game to be overrun by LONE_WOLF_SNIPER_SEPHIROTH_420 clones... oh... wait... yeah.

It sounds like he wants to make the game they originally envisioned Munch to be (gameplay mechanic-wise), before they realized they couldn't make the game they wanted without spending another few years on it and they had already promised to make it a 2001 launch title.

You put out food/toys (just food at the start) and check back later. If you check back too late, the food will be gone and so will the cat, but if you check relatively soon after the cat will still be there chilling and you can take a photo of it and steal receive phat loot from it.
