Honestly I was close to getting it on PC anyway, but decided to wait once I heard this news so I can play with my Xbox buddies.

Hopefully PS4 only users will get it soon!

if PuBG goes FPS only will fail miserably in day one....i call it now....the game isa success because its very good TPS mechanics and view

vallencer2484d ago

@naruga

It's FPS specific rooms. The game will always be 3rd person except for those rooms.

You mean like Counter Strike? /s

Amazing how some gamers can't come to grips that first person is actually better.

KickSpinFilter2484d ago

PurpHerbison2483d ago

I couldn't wait to hit the ps4 sometime next year so got a pc from costco which i have 3 months to play and return the pc. And buy another one and do the same until the game comes to the ps4.

It's definitely one of a kind game. I can see improvement made but as it's it's really good. The tension that gives and adrenaline rush when you are the last few players after 20 min in of searching for weapons ammo etc and surviving from snipers or others staying alive and been there it's unmatched on any other game. Sadly i haven't play the game with friends many times i get stupid teams mostly dont talk. But when you get a good team stick together it's much fun. I can't wait to play with friends. Sadly i will have to wait lol in the meantime i will buy and return laptop's

It is the ultimate co-op tactical-survival-shooter game. There isn't a better feeling of dropping in with 1-3 friends from a plane and fighting to stay alive against 96 other players. What are people not understanding? Get over it. 6 million sold! Hope you aren't missing this wave.

Allsystemgamer2484d ago

It seems to be the kind of people that need to be constantly shooting, dying and respawning.

I for one am glad I bought this game well before it sold 1 million. Following it as it grows is truly exciting. Every time they add something new and optimize it a little more I just pop back in with my friends. I've never felt bored even when nothing is happening. It's so much fun just TRYING to make it to the final circle.

Dan_scruggs2484d ago

You'd think with the money you get from 6 million in sales you could fix the janky animations in this game. Or the textures. Or the shadows. Or have destructible environments. Or have actual damage on the cars. Or the lag. Or the hit detection. Or.....

TheColbertinator2484d ago

Early access. You get what you pay for.

Weeblordbad2484d ago

What lag? The servers chunk up sometimes, but not that often I rarely have issues and my internet isn't great. Hit detection I also don't really run into issues, the range shots suffer from bullet drop if you haven't noticed.

All of the other things you've described take time, you can't snap your fingers and have all of that stuff finished and integrated into the game. You also maybe need to consider what Bluehole originally set out to make may not have had all the money in the world behind it, do you think they expected to sell this much in as short a time as they have? This game looks and plays fine, I really suggest you adjust your expectations when it comes to games on the scale of PUBG it makes Battlefield look small and quaint in comparison.

MetalGearsofWar2484d ago

Why do people keep buying this game? It's almost as if they don't care about those features.

Gazondaily2484d ago

Silly people....having fun

Dan_scruggs2484d ago

Animation - not important
Shadows - not important
Consistent texture quality - not important
Horrendous pop in - not importation
Crap hit detection -not important
30fps- UNACCEPTABLE

Yohshida2484d ago (Edited 2484d ago )

Thats what most people here dont get:

FUN GAMEPLAY > Graphics, Animation, Sound, Story

Its Early Access, the rest will come and the sales just give them more money to invest. The things they showed coming look freaking amazing. They focus on Gameplay first, something a lot of AAA Games this gen are missing completely.

Yohshida2484d ago

All are important but the best looking game wont get you anywhere when its boring

TheColbertinator2484d ago

@VideoGameLab

Good point.
Examples : Order 1886,Titanfall series

Allsystemgamer2484d ago

Um. That's coming? It's been clear. They have a roadmap that they've stuck to. It has destructible objects. The next patch is addressing performance.

Oh wait. You're one of those people that doesn't know what early access is NOR do you take into account it's an indie game for $29.99
