Schofield, while providing few details, did state that he has "the freedom to explore the PUBG universe" and that he's excited about possibilities that that brings which he "views as beyond the battle royale genre".

    Why would anyone think it would be a BR...?

    But it will still be ugly, broken, full of Chinese hackers, stuffed with microtransactions, and run at sub 20 fps on consoles.

    If a bunch of store bought assets running around a bland eastern European arma map is considered lore these days then I can hardly wait!

    lolol he looks like he just kicked someone's ass and is waiting for the next dumb question. :lol:
    Man with those ears, in that pose, he actually looks like something Guillermo Del Toro dreamed up.

    You're both wrong. :D

    Hinting at something new...creative,how much you bet it is guns..pew pew pew nothing new but they will tell us it is something different and new.
    Furthermore,we can call it the DAYZ universe or the COD universe,just a bunch of empty buildings,sneak around shooting each other,a VERY simple and to me boring concept because this has already been done a thousand times already.
    You don't hire expensive staff like former COD execs to make something different,nope it will be "i have gun,i can shoot gun".

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    With Glen Schofield's pedigree behind Dead Space and CoD i doubt he will green light a game that runs like PubG.

    Player Unknown is the equivalent to Dean Rocket. They both made a mod for an existing game, it ran like crap but still got popular so they made it a standalone game that still runs like crap.

    Glen isn't a modder, he has a lot more experience in game development than Player Unknown. If he can gather the right team, i think i would be interested in a narrative game in PubG universe. I just don't care about the poorly made BR.

    My opinion, of course.

    It is a survival game set in the PUBG universe (if thats even a thing).

    It is like Rust but team oriented, so you will be building, gathering, surving etc in a team based environment.

    If you are a Star Wars fan, why not try the Star Wars The Old Republic?
