Modern game makers can dream up entire universes, but games made in the ‘80s and ‘90s had to rely on levels, and chains of boss battles for success. Die Hard may be the most famous movie to actually take the idea of fighting enemies from level to level literally, but the original writer’s idea for the story was basically a live-action version of Elevator Action , a FPS game Guide|https://fpspedia.com/ released just a few years later. Since then, movies like Dredd and The Raid: Redemption have embraced the same structure, sending heroes up against gangs of enemies, mini-bosses and one massive final battle to achieve victory. The confined settings and levels may just be a way of keeping a story simple, but the solution is one that game developers were the first to really expl
Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds is a game built around the pretty simple premise of dropping 100 players onto a map and having them fight till only one player, or one team, remains. Despite this pretty intuitive concept, the game has a lot of quirks built in that are not made obvious to the player and frequently confuse players not intensely familiar with the inner workings of certain game mechan
It is so common to screw up controls. You thought you were picking your gun but instead set off to cook a grenade. Uh, oh…you feel like you only have the option to waste it or die. Well, you can save the coveted weapon if you know the right thing to do. If a player pulled out a pin by accident, players could drag the grenade back to the storage column to put the pin back in on the PC. Gamers should be able to hold Y to do the same thing on the Xbox. Weapons and supplies are at a premium in a game like PUBG . Therefore, it is essential to know about tricks like this one to save your weapons after a mist
One of the best things players can do is be aware of their speed as they are deployed from the helicopter. While being disposed in the air, players can speed up their descent into madness until their parachute automatically opens at 230 ft in the air. Ah, that pesky parachute. You could have gotten so much further if you could have deployed a little later, right? Well, gamers can still speed up the drop even when the parachute comes out. Players may think they have to continue to deal with slow speeds, but they can speed up the fall by pressing F on the computer or L on the Xbox while aiming for the landing. This not only speeds up the fall but also assists in steering the arri
Some of the most popular and profitable video games in history have followed elite soldiers into battle, with the Call of Duty series painting the picture of modern war for a generation. So when the minds behind Act of Valor turned to real Navy SEALS – not actors – to show audiences what war really looks like, video games were impossible to ignore. With millions of gamers experiencing combat down the barrel of a gun, the directors made sure to recreate that sensation in live-action. You could say that video games simply copied the real tactics of the soldiers, but filming and editing them to look like a game is something else entir
Take the frying pan for example, in many games not only would you not see weapons not currently held by a player but these weapons would have no impact on gameplay but in PUBG the frying pan can block bullets at any time—even when holstered on the player’s back. This can lead to players not understanding why their shots aren’t connecting if they hit the frying pan on an enemy pla
Tom Cruise gave a face to this sci-fi war movie about a soldier reliving a day over and over again, but the story of Edge of Tomorrow started as a Japanese comic series called “All You Need is Kill.” The writer came up with the idea after noticing how video games used death to train players, turning them from beginners into veterans – just like the movie’s hero. If the video game ties weren’t clear enough, the idea for the movie’s robotic exoskeletons was also introduced in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – released just months la
Yes, we know, just like The Hunger Games , PUBG didn’t invent the battle royale formula, so many might say that it doesn’t matter that Fort n ite ripped this particular thing off. Buuuut, just as The Hunger Games popularized battle royale in movies, PUBG was responsible for popularizing this formula in video ga

If there is one thing that developers are good at, it is bringing real-life into a video game. When real events or destinations are included in a game, it adds a level of realism that makes the experience all the more immersive. However, this one does hit a little close to home and might be emotional for some. The developers created a land on the Miramar map that references the real-life disaster that occurred on Chernobyl. If you fancy this sort of thing or feel an attachment to it, you can visit it in the game. As with anything, watch your back, because the covering is likely not the best in an area like this one. Again, Xbox gamers, this DLC should hopefully be coming your way shor
Middle-earth: Shadow of War may play it fast and loose with Tolkien’s Middle-earth lore , but it’s still a very impressive follow-up to Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor . With the original game’s nemesis system now well established, Shadow of War is able to stretch its legs, developing an updated version of the system alongside game-wide improveme
