Yeah i mean that is true But the Blantant EXACT ripoffs especially on mobile is crazy. They legit Copy it to a T at so many points its a bit weird.

 

So many have identical wepons  Exact same looks to them same exact scopes, drinking redbull to heal bandages health kits. they even follow all the exact same healing of these items and damage. to the same exact "Blue Wall"  white wall where next is and Dashed line to it.  Along with the same HUD same mini map type ect ect.

 

The exactness just gose on and on with some of them its insane. I the idea and Genre of battle royal is Open for anyone and other games will bring improvements to the idea hopefully.  but honestly these people are not copying the Idea there just copying the game.  Half of them even use battlegrounds in the titile. Maybe its not illegal but if a movie had the exact same lines and plot or a book had been copied 50% of the words and the other 50% just changed up a little bit  it would still be

 

 

 Yeah The Launch on the 20th  is actually pretty optimized and can be finally run at 144fps and 60fps on high with pretty weak PCs. Pubg has come a long way in optimization. This last update to the test server which will be the full game not early acess in 6 days  actually improved my FPS by 30 / about 50%  more then i was getting went from 60s to 90s 

Funny because I play it and I have to wait a full 2 minutes for my buildings to load in and I can walk through buildings and shit

Yeah a Slow HDD and or Low amount of Ram Causes this. If you already have a pretty slow HDD id recommend stopping anything else using your HDD like recording software downloads ect.  You have to load the Map in but the HDD or Ram is Too Slow / Not enough to do it before you land.  (Though 2 Mins is really weird even my old laptop drive from like 2011 only takes 30 seconds  about but Should basically never happen on a good drive i just moved it to my cheap Sandisk SSD since the games 8gb in size and its never happned once.

You cannot own a genre and acting like they do is a dick move tbh, especially because H1Z1 did it first  

Arma 2 had it first and other games before that had BR. And note the same guy who made it for H1Z1 is the guy who made PUBG.

If they copied the code or artwork you'd be right, but a "game mode" doesn't count as a product they designed.

It was a retorical statement, the point being that the game should be able to sell based on its merits and not just because of a single game mode idea.

So... how does he define "directly copy"? From what I've seen the "copycats" HAVE put their own spin into it and some even added it on top of a preexisting game.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I take it you haven't looked at the play store recently ? So much exact rips of pubg are on there and I mean exact to a T, example AK kills in 4 shots in pubg and it does in the mobile rips, all the building assets are the same map, compass and shit even the victory screen is the exact same thing.

Well he's basically the mind behind it becoming popular again and people are literally making copies of the game just on the mobile side

Whenever anyone creates a suddenly popular game or product, copycat games or products are going to pop up. Look at how many WoW clones and Halo killers we had back in the day. If you release a good product then this shouldn't be of concern. Maybe thats the problem here.

Current laws and policies already allow them to take those down, so he's either complaining about nothing or he's talking about more prominent competitors like fortnite.

Highly doubt he's worrying about fortnite. That's worlds different to pubg, so is Islands of nyne.

Somethings probably going on there then when i had this problem i looked into it a lot and every single person said 16gb of ram or SSD will fix it. i have a more budget ish build (though i upgraded my GPU this month so not so much anymore) so i just threw it on my SSD instead of getting more ram i only have 8gb DDR3

Then he's complaining about nothing, because he already has the tools to fight mobile ripoffs.

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

LMAO So is PUBG getting sued by H1? What about that Survival Of The Fittest game that Ark had for awhile? This is the kinda stuff devs get away with when Fan Bases are rabidly defensive.

PUBG came from Infestation Stories. So... who's the copycat now? 

 

Yes, I know. The developer behind that went on to make PUBG. But regardless, it's based off the same thing. 

 

They can't complain about their game being "copied" when Fortnite released for FREE and runs completely fine on console and PC. Meanwhile, PUBG struggles to even perform well.

Good luck with that. Lokk at Mobas. Some are even 99% matching in mehanics and only differ in graphics. And some of the richest companies (Blizzard, RIOT) cant do nothing about copycats.

This guy seems to bitch about everything these days. He threw a tantrum and threatened a lawsuit after Epic added a battle royale mode to Fortnite. His AMRA 2 mod wasn't even original. There was a Hunger Games mod for Minecraft that released before his mod and battle royale is clearly an idea inspired by last man standing multiplayer modes, something that has been around since, at least, the 90s.

Oh man, if we start to claim basic game concepts under copyright, a LOT of good games will go under because they weren't the first lol. OW, Paladins, R6S would all get rekt by Valve for example xD

Now here's a tricky one, and not limited to gaming. How similar does something need to be to something else for it to be a copy? Battle Royale as a concept (outside gaming) has existed for a very long time. It was first made famous to me by the Japanese film from 2000 of that name, but it goes back much further than that. So I'd argue the general idea in itself isn't new even if pubg is the first to bring it to the mainstream in gaming. 

 

I wonder if we can look at fps games as a whole for comparison. It is a long time ago now, but I look back at (90's versions of) Wolfenstein, Doom, later Quake and various spinoffs using the same engine... I don't really recall the mechanics changing that much early on. Go somewhere, kill everything, repeat. Occasionally open a door or push a button. Looking at games today, there are more mechanics variation, and storyline has become a much bigger part, along with multiplayer focused games. As someone not into the genre, they still look pretty similar to me...

Did he invent Battle Royale? No? Then fuck off Mr Copycat.

 

The guy isn't happy to have the most popular game on the planet, now he's seemingly make it so no one else can use the system his game us based upon.

 

Just try any copyright an entire genre Brendon, let's all find out exactly how hard the judge laughs at you when you do.

now goes around complaining about people copying an idea ?
