PUBG Developers Tease New Vaulting Mechanic
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS, also known as PUBG, has been at the forefront of many gamers’ minds since its Early Access release in March. The game is at the top of Steam’s “Top Sellers” charts and currently has one of the largest streaming communities on Twitch. After months of updates and patches, the PUBG devs have shown something that could be quite the gamechanger: vaulting.
A few days ago, Bluehole developer “tooner” posted an unlisted video on his Youtube channel. This video showcased various work-in-progress mechanics for vaulting over objects and climbing up ledges within the game. It also displayed the ability to cancel the climbing action at any point during the animation, meaning the player has complete control over their movements while vaulting about.
While this addition may seem small, it could actually end up dramatically shifting the way people play in specific situations. Not only will this mean finally being able to reach illusive gear that has spawned on top of crates and objects, but it also opens up new possibilities for strategy during firefights. For example, if a player is running away from an enemy and a wall is in his path, he no longer needs to look for an opening or pray that his crouch jumping skills are on point. He can simply reposition himself by jumping over the wall and immediately being in cover. Of course, this is just a small example of the many things that this new movement system could allow.
Bluehole has not yet announced when the vaulting update will be going live, but fans have speculated that it will be around the end of the month. However, with the developers planning to lessen the amount of patches and updates they release, it could be anyone’s guess when the game will receive these new features.
The latest trailer for Sony Pictures Entertainment’s CGI film Resident Evil: Death Island, released July 25, features the outlandish action and melodrama that made the franchise a cult sensation.
This Resident Evil Avengers-esque team-up features Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers.
The T-Virus and killer whales take the gang to Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, where a new nightmare awaits. In magnificent slow motion and with progressively heavier ordinance, the Dream Team will supposedly destroy zombies, Lickers, mutant orcas, and anything else foolish or nasty enough to stand in their path.
In a horrific new video, Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine is coming to PS4 and PS4 on June 22. Expect agony and tight gameplay from independent wizards Team Meat, well known for their pioneering, tough-as-ham platformer Super Meat Boy.
This “mean meat machine” reimagines your grandpa’s old black-and-white puzzle games for a younger, hipper, more bloodthirsty audience. We’re delighted the wait won’t be long for this one.
Super Meat Boy fan? Team Meat?
Diablo 4’s post-launch support will keep you playing for years, according to Blizzard. General manager Rod Fergusson confirmed two expansions and free content updates.
“As I sit here, we’re about to launch the main game; we’re finishing up season one; we’re working on season two; we’re working on expansion one; we’re kicking off expansion two,” he told PC Gamer on the Kinda Funny Xcast. These two DLCs may release sooner than expected. Fergusson says the live service model lets Blizzard release content faster than Diablo III.
With tens of hours of content in the base game, Diablo 4 is massive. This could be Destiny 2 or Genshin Impact, with seasons and DLC. That thought excites or frightens you. Leave a comment and check out our Diablo 4 guide for help with the PS5 and PS4 games.
