There’s a dedicated bluehole team assigned to the console Xbox version and working with Microsoft who are completely separated from the PC dev team and thank god for that

Just checked the Steam market to find out I've got a coat in this game worth 30 quid, covered the cost of the game purchase for me

Anyone seen the going price of the school clothes sets? Holy sweet f**k! :O

3rd person wouldn't be bad though on xbox with a controller.
However its' going to be severely restricted in terms of graphics etc..
I'm gaming at 1440p on pc and its awesome but I shudder at the thought of playing it on the console version unless I get the xbox one x which should be able to get at 60fps at 1080p....hopefully.
I've a few mates who only game on console so looking forward to having a few games with them on this.

Admittedly I haven't played this yet, but I've seen enough footage online, but I'd say its more the optimization is the issue rather than the graphics as they're fairly basic for the most part.

I'd say microsoft are banking big on this being their killer app for christmas. It'd be gas if they managed to really Iron out the performance of it.

Attendees at Gamescom have played a build of PUBG on the Xbox One X today.

Reports are very good so far. It runs well and is very stable.

I'd say it will do ok on the Xbox but don't see it overtaking the likes of COD and BF.

I doubt anyone expects it to overtake 2 IPs which have been around for 30 years combined!

Captain Obvious

I reckon it will go the minecraft route. IP sold for a tidy fortune once it's in a position for full release.

I just think if MS think they have a killer app that's gonna sell them a load of the X then they might be disappointed.

Its going to take over DOTA (has already taken CS, both 30 years).

All versions
Bf1 has 120k playing now.
Bf4 60k
PC only
COD has 40k playing now.

PUBG peaked at 718K today, only Bluehole could **** up an IP like this. I think they will.

If you have some spare BP I recommend buying the Gamescom in-game crates and selling them on the Steam marketplace.

I got a little over €5 for 2 crates.

They have to be opened by a certain date, check in game for that date.

The other ones have no date set.

I made €50 as I had about 50k when it started, buy 4 of each wait one week buy 4 of each wait one week

You can risk the others and open them for a skirt thats going for hundreds of euro.

xbox one has struggled in the past with the unreal engine. I've no doubt the xbox one X will run it fine but the basic xbox? Not a chance unless the map textures are significantly decreased, maybe half the number of players in a smaller map etc. If they pull the exact same game off on the standard xbox i'd be very impressed but it will only be at 720p and maybe 30fps. No way will it get 60 on the basic one.

Wait so we're not getting this on the XB1?.

It's the new console?.... the first I knew about this and I've been dying to play this.

That's a bummer...

The game is CPU intensive so 720/900p & 30fps on the XBox One S would be the realistic expectation.
Can't see them opting to reduce the max no. of players without seriously affecting the core game.

Grahamer666

I'd say they'll have it run at 30fps on the One X too.

it would be very unlikely unless doing 4k. It would be a disaster for Microsoft if PUBG only did 30fps on their flagship console. They have to show why people should upgrade to the scorpio and 30fps on PUBG doesn't cut it.

MS helping out in terms of offering servers might be better. A high tickrate server would be huge help to the game.
Too many times I'm waiting too long for a door to open. That's all down to low tickrate servers.

it looks from reports of the xbox version of the game playing at gamescom that the framerate is uncapped and is currently runnning between 30-40fps .i imagine they will try to get this up to 60fps on OneX before launch..

dreamers75

Is it really playing on an Xbox tho?

PC, but an XBox build:

The version of the game we played was on a PC but, according to a Microsoft representative, was "running" the Xbox One version of the game.

So, uncapped, getting 40, xbox build, on pc. Any mention of specs of said pc? Superior to XBox1 / 1S?

It's going to be on all current Xbox One consoles. Most likely, it will run with a dynamic resolution, as that's the preferred method of dealing with two different powered consoles now (both Sony and Microsoft). It'll mean that the frame rate is going to be broadly similar between the two versions, as it has to be for multiplayer games, so the Xbox One X will just run at a higher resolution. It'll still be the best console version of the game, but it obviously won't come near a well built PC, that's going to be true of all games.

It will also have to run at a faster fps in 1080p on the xbox one x and at least 30fps on 4k.
I'd definitely be interested in getting it as a few mates have xbox only and are mad jealous I can play it on pc.

Its one of the very few games over the last few years that I'm really hankering to play. no pc for me, so the fact that its coming to any console at all is a real boon.

Struggling to see how a game like this would be in any way enjoyable on a console with a joypad.
