They will get the pricing wrong on this it needs to be the same price as h1z1 but it wont be it will be more than double so I shall not buy it.
Barely offers anything over the free battle royale mod he made.My guess is £29.99 or even £34.99.

Already confirmed to be £25 same has the preorder standard edition price.

Already had my money worth just out of the beta..

well many would have played the arma 3 mod im thinking it looks great but also wonder how long it will be fun if im honest.2 man teams.could have limited appeal.hope its great.

2 man isn't the max, we was playing 4 man last weekend.
Plus this game is going to have steam workshop support lots of content to be made, and the fact anyone can download the unreal engine 4 edit free of charge the possibility are endless.

Any plans for Workshop support does anyone know?

Will there be mod tools?

To those who have played the beta, is there enough "game" here to warrant a standalone release at £20+ or is it one of those games that will keep growing and will become bigger than the sum of its individual parts?

Has Tombstone said I feel I have already had my money worth.
The gameplay is miles better than h1z1, it's in a different league.
It's also better than arma because of the clunky Ness of that engine.

Blog post http://playbattlegrounds.com/news/64.pu

Players,



Today is a very special day for me! For the last four years, ever since I launched my first Battle Royale game-mode using the DayZ mod on Arma 2, I have worked hard to try deliver an intense, dynamic and fun experience. Through its various iterations in the ARMA series, H1Z1 and now in my own standalone game, you all have shown me tremendous support, and for that I want to say a sincere thank you.

We will look at what steps we will take to optimize the game later in this post, but first, our official early access launch trailer!


https://youtu.be/fDLAFIhfFy4



And now comes the line I thought I would never get the chance to say… my game is now available to purchase on Steam Early Access!



http://store.steampowered.com/app/578080



I now want to run through a timeline for optimization of our game. A lot of you have been asking about how and when we will optimize the game, so hopefully this post will give you a better idea of our plans over the coming months.

One important thing to note. Client optimization takes time, and will not be solved in one single patch. We will be working hard over the next 6 months to ensure all players enjoy smooth gameplay with no lag or FPS drops.



Initial Performance Improvements



Key Objectives

• To reduce the overload on the CPU, and make sure that the GPU performs to its full capability



Expected Results

• Frame rates will be stable even when in high-density areas

• Get higher frame rates across all graphic options



ETA: Apr. 14th (Expected to take roughly 5 weeks)



Further Performance Improvements



Step 1: Art assets optimization (Apr. 7th)

• Decrease the LOD vertex for buildings seen at long distances

11_1490279310039.png


• Decrease the total amount of vertex by adjusting the LOD on terrains

Step 2: Improve the rendering performance of terrain and ocean shader (TBD)

Step 3: Decrease the overload on the CPU by rearranging wall near buildings (TBD)

Step 4: Decrease the usage rate of the video memory (TBD)

* We have already managed to make some of the improvements in our final CBT build, decreasing video memory usage by 1 GB.



See you in-game,

PLAYERUNKNOWN

i think the thing is many people have been stung with this type of game on kickstarters , early access.all promise the same. most dont deliver. 27 quid not sure.
Click to expand...

But this game is already proven to be well worth its asking price. They is enough footage out there to make that choice! I can understand EA games can be a trouble but this I feel is already a great game.
Its planned to be in EA for 6 months while they can steam work shop in and sort out performance.
 
~>Dg<~ said:
shame 27 quid is a bit rich. you expect that price from a AAA studio. this is basically a tweaked mod which was free . also if you realize how this will grow or fail is based on twitch streamers.

basically the biggest game twitch wise is H1z1 in this type of game.they have massive viewer base.they are double what this game has even though its launch day hype.so will those streamers adopt or change to this game and lose viewers ? i doubt it.
Click to expand...

It's not a mod man it's built from the ground up using unreal engine 4.
£27 quid is far from triple A pricing show me battlefield 1, call of duty or any big shooter that has released steam/origin/uplay less than 30 smack a roonie

One of the biggest h1z1 streamer already ditched it for this summit, this game will only get bigger bookmark this comment for a year time when it has full release, workshop support.
For £27 they is a lot of fun to be had here.

Stereo :D

We only have two ears after all.

A good pair of hifi headphones priced like for like will beat "gaming headphones" for positional audio any day.

Keep in mind, a LOT of gaming headphones are just Stereo ones with emulated surround being played through them. There are some with loads of speakers per ear but the payoff is often "meh".

I use some ancient Goldring DR150's. Some of the best kit I have ever purchased for use with the PC.
Click to expand...

Or have the best of both worlds. High end headphones paired with an excellent surround dsp.
My setup is philips fidelio x1 and Sennheiser gsx 1000 wouldn't replace it with anything. :D
 
Performance for me is playable, its only One big town that frame rate drops to un-joyable levels.. Once they sort of the CPU load like said in the blog it will boost GPU performance a lot..
 
Witor said:
Can always stick this in your launch options guys for higher FPS

-USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system -sm4

Will drop your graphics a tad (sm4 bit anyway, drops it down to dx10 iirc)
Click to expand...

I test these two -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system on the lobby map each time i managed to make it to part of the map alone for result and for me it made zero difference.
 
Tombstone said:
One thing that I hope they do is make the foliage ever present for all. I was pretty surprised at how little grass there is if you put foliage on very low. Certainly explains why so often I have thought I am crawling unseen through thick strands of wheat only to have someone laserbeam shoot me. Turns out that on their screen I was simply crawling along in completely open grass less terrain lol.

Already confirmed in a podcast by the dev team, foliage will be locked once the get around optimisation.

This is something confirmed and the 2D was already tested in early alpha.

PS: I think listing with * doesn't work for some reason, please excuse the bad looks on this. All the information here have been throughly gathered from the Dev stream that ended couple of minutes ago. If anybody believes i misunderstood something, please lemme know. If you send me the correct information time stamp, i will check on the video and correct it for sure.

Full stream can be watched on this link if you have any doubts about the info here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/130983922

Lots of cool information in there :D
 
I think playing sole is more easy than Squad play. Sole you don't need to worry about friends position etc You free to move along in your own time, You also come into fights 1v1 more often than not.
 
PSA We've pushed an update to all servers to improve performance & reduce lag. These updates will continue on a daily basis!

Tomorrow on the dev blog we reveal our update schedule for early access. For now, a look at a new mask getting added to the game!

One thing I love about these Devs is just how much they have been in talks with the community!! We know what is happening when its happening!! It sets apart other Early access gaming on another level!!

Not at all disappointed buying into this game, The best £25 I have paid in years for a game.
