Game Awards Nominees For 2017 Game Of The Year

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has built up a massive following in the PC gaming community, with enough players on Steam to go toe to toe with Grand Theft Auto V and challenge even Valve's own games. All this while the game is still in development. One update coming to the game soon is expected to offer a new way of playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds by letting gamers dive into first-person only servers, and the official PlayerUnknown Twitter just showed off how an important first-person setting lo


Margenau’s right, voting for the game won’t make it come any faster. What’s the point of that category anyway? A more accurate name may be "Upcoming Game with the Best Marketing." Red Dead Redemption II is on there and all we’ve seen of it is a single teaser trailer. But you could make a similar argument for every category. Does anyone know what the qualifications are for Trending Gamer? The Best Esports Game category doesn’t contain a single game released in the year 2017, and speaking of eSports, there isn’t a single female nomination for Best Esports Player, Presented by Omen and


This tool isn't all Battlegrounds needs to work well as a first-person shooter, though. Players have noted some scaling issues that aren't apparent in third-person but stand out in first-person. For instance, windows and some vehicles can be too high for a standing player to see through or over while in first-person, while being a good height for the third-person camera. Sometimes shots in first-person hit walls when players aim just above those walls. For the first-person mode in Battlegrounds to work, these bugs will need addressing alongside the addition of the FOV slider, and it's not clear from PlayerUnknown's Tweet what steps have been taken for these fi


While we'll have to wait and see how PlayerUnknown addresses the issues of inaccurate aim and seeing over obstacles, Battlegrounds players should at least be able to vault over obstacles more easily s


The ability to expand field of view should be helpful for players who felt the standard first-person view was too narrow. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is already competitive, but the extra degree of immersion and risk that comes with the first-person mode may make it more competitive. And the FOV options should satisfy serious FPS players who are used to this tool in other competitive shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Overwat


Currently, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a third-person shooter that forces players to fight to the death on an island, and it's incredibly popular as is . The third-person camera allows players to scope out targets over walls and around corners, giving them a strategic advantage. A first-person camera will make spotting enemies in the game more difficult and riskier, as players will have to peek out from behind cover to do so. The upcoming change ups the stakes for intel gathering. While Battlegrounds currently allows players to toggle a first-person view, it lacks some of the polish and tools FPS gamers are used to. One tool that's been missing was a field-of-view slider, making players' views narrow. In its next update, Battlegrounds will be getting first-person only servers, and with them a FOV slider. PlayerUnkown shared how that will affect players' views in a Tw


The Game Awards , created and hosted by video game personality Geoff Keighley, can be viewed as either the definitive award ceremony for video games, or as one big marketing event. Either way, the 2017 Game of the Year nominees have been announced, and they’re pretty much exactly what you’d expect. Still, despite the lack of surprise, that hasn’t stopped many from arguing over what should or shouldn’t have been nomina


San Martín is located just west of Hacienda Del Patrón. Checkpoints and barriers have transformed this once-quiet small town into a war zone. Both sides of the town have overlooks, so careful players should scout first, before charging into town.

At first, Greene seemed to be playing along with Dr DisRespect, but then took offense to DisRespect's threat of violence. Greene released a lengthy statement addressing the issue, admitting that Dr DisRespect's comments were likely facetious in nature, but even so, they hit close to home due to an unpleasant experience Greene had in the p


It’s impossible to shake the feeling that they’re just one big advertisement, for both upcoming video games and other products. Sponsorships galore throughout the presentation, and trailers for upcoming games blare between almost every award. Imagine if the Oscars ran trailers for films coming in the next year, no one would take them seriou


Ascent: Infinite Realm will be published by Kakao Games, publisher of Black Desert Online , another MMORPG. Bluehole has yet to announce a release date, but signs point to a closed beta beginning in the first half of 2018. And given PUBG patch notes's extended period of early-access (and how well it has worked out for the game), there's reason to believe that Bluehole will take its time with formally launching **Ascent: Infinite Realm ** . The game will be shown off at the upcoming G-Star 2017 trade show in Busan, South Korea, which is set to take place from November 16 - 19. Expect more information t
