PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds launching on Xbox one as Console Launch Exclusive

Fuck. Yes. I. Am. So. Ready.

I've watched so many hours of people streaming this game lol. I've got a bunch of friends on board for this also.
 
Any word on the framerate?

it's a competitive shooter so i really want 60fps

It's an open world unreal 4 game with a crazy CPU bottleneck. I'll be shocked if its hitting 30fps consistently during the initial game preview launch.

Edit, also the game is pretty slow paced so I think 30FPS on consoles should be alright.

that's what i thought hearing the problems on pc, damn

If they can get the controller input latency to something like destiny (100ms) it would yeah, but there's not a lot of devs that do that.

Man this is the best they can come up wtih? I mean this already looks like 2000's graphics on PC max setting and they're trying to console exclusive, seriously?

MS come on now at least pretend you're trying w/ this, like do some new gmaes and not ports? Just restricting games no idea why companies does this

Having everyone running this on the same system (instead of 100 different pc configurations playing the game) will be epic. Draw distance is crucial in this game.

I wouldn't be surprised if this outsells every other console exclusive shown at Microsoft's e3 presser. This game is huge and a ton of fun.

Hopefully some MS funding will help the devs increase performance, its really quite bad at the moment.

It would struggle to even reach 30fps on an xbone.

Huh?

This is a massively popular game. It's an absolutely fantastic title to port to consoles.

I don't understand your complaint whatsoever.

I think with timed exclusives, the devs should be allowed to be open about the time the game gonna be exclusive.

I dont like how this gets handled in this industry.

It's still in "Early Access" so graphical improvements will come later on. It also had a peak of 197,000 players on Steam today, and there's 50,000+ people watching it being streamed on Twitch right now...

AKA it's hot shit.

Lol. You obviously have no idea how big this game is.

Indeed this is Big for Microsft the game is fantastic and as far as i can see their is nothing like it on consoles
 
I thought this would be a de-facto exclusive because of the lack of an "early access" style store on the PS4? I'm interested if it comes to the PS4.
 
The end of the trailer says exclusive not launch exclusive. Judging by that I would say no. I don't remember what they said at the conference.

Looks like the same wording they used on Rise of the Tomb Raider.

If it is a full exclusive then that's probably the biggest get Microsoft could have gotten.

They plan on leaving early access this year on PC.

Microsoft call everything with even a hint of exclusivity an "exclusive", that's the point of these marketing deals. It was clearly marked as a "console launch exclusive".

So this will come to PS4 at a later stage?

Of course.
 
Although I have this on PC already, I'd love to get a console version of this. PC version has the problem where you have to play it at lowest settings (except draw distance) or you are at a disadvantage, as those with low settings can see other players easier.

Cool. As I said, couldn't remember what was said at the conference. Would have been a really big get if it was fully exclusive.

Indie devs don't always have the resources to prep more than one port at a time. It makes sense to do one port, release it, and have a revenue stream while you prep the next one.

My biggest concern with this game on Xbox: Will it run much smoother / more drawing distance etc on the One X.
Because I don't want to play against people that have much better conditions.

Apart from that, can't wait for this game!

This is the big thing. Everyone has the same settings and control input on this version which should make things way more fair and hopefully fun.

Unless the XB1X runs it much better

For you.

That isn't going to happen, since X1 and X1X versions will certainly run at different settings.

I watched two interviews yesterday where they called it an exclusive rather than a launch exclusive.

I'm not sure if that was to avoid using the weird wording or if it's actually an exclusive.

I think the popularity of this game would bring it to everything though.
 
Game is awesome....and terrible...and then back AWESOME when you finally don't get screwed by the fog and are able to get another chicken dinner!

Even if the One X runs and has the same draw distance as the X1, you will ALWAYS be playing against someone with better conditions.

Why? Because you're playing on the Internet, and on the Internet people have varied connections which always affect the games, especially this one. I know people that play in the Asia server just because they have a higher ping which makes you harder to hit.

That's not even mentioning XIM-users.

I hate it when it's unclear like that, they should just outright say shit.
 
This seems to be like the console launch exclusive they had for Smite, which I played a ridiculous amount for a year plus, but eventually made its way to PS4. Looking forward to trying this genre as it has become quite popular.
