PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

shankly1985 · 6 Mar 2017 at 05:51

First sorry if they already a thread I did try searching and nothing showed up?
Been playing the closed beta of this game and am in love with it. Its like H1Z1 only more Hardcore... Gun mechanics are solid with nice recoil to control. Animations for such early game are miles better than H1z1.

Even the Driving is much better its not perfect tho, some performance issue here and there, glitches etc

Loads people streaming on Twitch etc The Beta is running till 19th March but only on each Weekend. So in couple hours this build will be switched off till next weekend when a new Beta build is released to test.

Here is a little video of the Unreal Engine 4 soft body Physics

I watached the Jack Frags video of this last night, looks pretty decent. I've not played a BR game before so it's something I'm defo interested in looking at.

Is there a confirmed release date yet?

You can pre-order it now, so it's going onto early access on steam.

I've been in since alpha builds, not my kind of game but it's ok for a shoot. It's a lot less arcadey than the original alpha. I'm waiting for first person only to be introduced.

Steam just says spring 2017

Hmm I'm not one for jumping into EA and Beta unless they are free normally but this really has grabbed my interest.

I'm tempted - I'll check it out a bit more when I'm home from work. I have £20 worth of Stean GC sitting doing nothing.

I watched the Jackfrags vid too and it got me hooked. Not willing to purchase to get a beta key, but if I was able to try the game first, maybe I'd purchase! Catch 22!

Might want to warn people about the swearing Shankly

Josh · 6 Mar 2017 at 14:53

Probably just link it but not embed it, I've seen people doing that due to swearing. Not sure if the mods have changed the rules or just relaxed them but I've defo seen a few videos with the odd naughty in it.

Looks like the beta runs until March 19th, so release shouldn't be too long afterwards.

Devlish · 6 Mar 2017 at 16:00

Will probably give this a go when its launched. We should get an OcUK group going.

I still not pre-order yet myself I got given key. I defo buying just not yet no rush for me. Keep in mind the play testing only runs at weekends so even if you pre-order now you cant play till this weekend.

ORly ? Can't be that close to launching even into Early Access then I would guess

I don't think it is, Early Access is down for Spring 2017 so from now to end of May.

You can leave it there but just give a warning bud and I have never ever down voted a vid from anyone

Edit:

I lie - I did downvote that scottish (areet guys hows it going) guy on one of his Vids

Swinbag · 6 Mar 2017 at 16:43

This looks interesting - I'll definitely keep one eye on it!

O didn't know that I thought we not allowed to post videos with swearing at all.

Josh · 6 Mar 2017 at 17:51

Founds a few reviews which I'm going to watch through but 90% sure I'm going to jump on this when it gets on Steam.

If it's pants (doesn't look it atm) I can always refund - looking forward to it.
