Now, in an interview with PCGamer, Kim and his translator Sammie Kang have stepped forward to further explain the comments many people viewed as unfair. Kim offered the clarification that the Fornite / PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds situation "is not about the Battle Royale mode itself," and that Bluehole "never raised an issue" with other modes of similar kind. According to Kim, it's entirely "about Epic Games," which wasn't really clear in the original press rele

68 different games received a nomination, with Guerrilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn leading the pack with ten nods. The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild follows with six nominations. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice , Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and Cuphead got five nods. Gorogoa, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds , Super Mario Odyssey received four nominati

Even with the millions of copies that PUBG has sold, the untapped console market is huge, with over 60 million PS4s sold, as well as over 33 million Xbox Ones. Of course, some console owners play on multiple platforms or just aren't interested in the battle royale genre, but with 93 million potential players, odds are that Fortnite: Battle Royale will be successful. On top of the user base, it is free-to-play and players are not required to own the original Fortnite game released earlier this y

What many gaming fans disagreed with in the original statement was the implication that Bluehole had some type of ownership over battle royale or last man standing game modes. Kim made it clear that the developer isn't in any way claiming that. "It's not for us to even comment," he said. Kim then reiterated that the focus of Bluehole's apparent frustration is Epic Games, who specifically mentioned PUBG in its marketing materials for the new gameplay m

All the nominees were selected by members of the Academy’s peer panels, with one panel for each award category. Each panel is composed of "industry experts" (mostly game developers or representatives of publishers), and the winners will be determined via a confidential voting proc

Ascent: Infinite Realm's site also lists the character classes that the game will offer: Sorceress, mystic, warlord, assassin, and gunslinger. They appear to fit into traditional RPG archetypes of mage, healer, warrior, thief/rogue, and hunter/marksman, respectively. Given how unconventional the rest of the game seems to be, it's a bit surprising to see rather conventional options in the character creation department. Perhaps the future reveal of subclasses (each class will have two of them) will deepen and diversify gameplay opti

Since Fortnite: Battle Royale doesn't require any money up front, it immediately brings up some concern over whether or not it will be "pay to win." However, Epic Games has confirmed that there will be no microtransactions that allow players to buy better guns than their opponents. As detailed in a blog post on Epic's official website, paid items are planned to be "cosmetics or compendium-like content." Also, those who purchased Fortnite between September 12-19 are eligible to receive a refund, since Battle Royale was originally announced as part of the main g

Just last week in Fortnite , Epic Games "accidentally" allowed cross-platform multiplayer between PS4 and Xbox One users, but then patched out the feature since it isn't allowed by both Microsoft and Sony. Microsoft has been very open to cross-platform play, with the most recent example being that Minecraft players on Xbox One can play with those on PC and even Nintendo Switch. Sony, however, has refused to allow all cross-platform play except for PS4 and PC users. If Sony changes its mind, the community for Fortnite and Fortnite: Battle Royale could be h

Ascent: Infinite Realm represents a change of pace for the developer. While the game, like PUBG, will be a multiplayer title, genre and setting will be quite different. The welcome message on Ascent: Infinite Realm 's site sums up the new direction: "Get ready for an amazing world filled with Airships, Dragons, Magic & Exciteme

The largest city in the region, Los Leones features ample shopping, a skyline filled with new construction, and a glorious, golden-hued City Center. Players should secure high vantage points by exploring the numerous construction sites, and loot for gear in the cavernous, abandoned commercial buildings.

It is a smart move by Epic Games to release Fortnite: Battle Royale before PUBG can get to consoles. It gives console owners the ability to play a battle royale game for free, and since the original Fortnite has received a pretty positive reception, fans familiar with the franchise name will be more willing to pick it
