PUBG on Xbox [preview program]

FAILSAFE 00

I thought it would be a good idea to have an Xbox specific Player Unknown's Battlegrounds thread.

Since PUBG on both Xbox and PC are in beta having one thread with multiple issues/feedback on 2 platforms could get messy. I hope the mods agree.

I have played the game for a few hours now. Mostly duo mode. The first thing I noticed was in my first game the graphics didn't look great. However from the 2nd game onwards it looked good. I am assuming there is probably some map content being cached so when you play it again it looks better.

The frame rate has been solid. I am playing on the OG Xbox One until I get back to my One X tomorrow.

It took a while to get my head around it after playing it on PC. There are a few short cuts on the D-pad that you should get used to.

I recommend upping the sensitivity to all the way to 10. It can feel sluggish until you do this.

*Be careful creating your character. If you back out of the character screen it saves the default as your character. You can then only change your character by using 3,000 BP to change it again. BP is the in-game currency. You can buy crates with it that award you with cosmetic items.

You can still go in solo.

The other poster was going into team modes solo but I thought they wouldn't be able to hear you?

No date for the new map. If you think this map is big wait until you see the desert map which although is still 8x8km it feels much bigger because of the terrain

Is duo and team not where you have a premade team and load in together?

I played last night for a couple of hours and found it very good, took I while to get used to the controls (played a game where i forgot Y was to change primary weapon.... I know I know). Much better than fortnite already, I know fortnite was free so I wouldn't really put them in the same boat.

My problem was I tried playing in team or duo and not one person had a headset, don't know why you'd go to play a team game like this without a headset but each to their own.

I found solo very good, the maps are huge and some games I seemed to just keep sprinting to stay in it. Any update when the desert map will be on xbox?

You only need to tap left trigger once to ADS. It's hold for over the shoulder and tap for ADS.

Yeah, it's still weird, what ever it is.

So played my first game last night, got my first kill, then had to sprint for ages to escape the blue, finally get into the safe zone, only to slowly saunter past someone, who promptly killed me. Ah well, I enjoyed it.

My kill was quite funny, thought that there was someone was in a house, so kinda looked around the entire place. By the time I got to the last room, I thought maybe I was mistaken, so wasn't paying any attention. All I hear and see is a full clip being fired all around me, not a single hit, despite the fact that I stopped moving when the firing started. Had time to figure out how to go into first person mode and everything then, poor guy must have been struggling to reload.

Anyway, my impressions are that the game itself is good, but very rocky right now. The lobby is such a disaster that they should really remove it, just have a longer loading screen and then load you directly into the plane. Other than that, the game performs okay once you're down, not great, but certainly playable. The controls need a bit of love, but they're functional. I wonder if they should just remove third person aiming, so as to avoid the whole "double tap L trigger" to aim down sights, it's just weird.

There’s no aim assist in this game for Xbox, at least not yet hence why everyone is struggling to kill other players. Every other console game has aim assist hence why people are so used to it on console.
A controller is never as accurate as kB/mouse.

I'm having no problems hitting anyone with ARs but I'm crap with SMGs

I always turn off aim assist on console. I haven't used it in years.

Finding this could be fun but the controls and skill level make it impossible. If I manage to find weapon and reload (find holding x awkward) I'm dead before I can react (even with headset)
What am I missing here surely it can't be that hard

Have you re-adjusted all the sensitivity settings?

IvoryTower

I think just practice but i feel your pain. I quite often have the jump on people and still die. Its so hard to kill someone unless they're like within 10 metres

As long as you go into it knowing that it's a Beta release in the true sense of the word, you'll know what you're getting. It's version 0.5 and some way behind the PC release, but the same great core gameplay is still there even if it is clunky. I wouldn't judge it really until next summer or so, and people buying it should make sure they're aware it's an unfinished game.

There was a completely separate team working on the Xbox version. With having MS and the same dev team who made gears of war 4 there was absolutely no excuse to launch this on xbox in this state. I generally cut them a lot of slack on Pc but they’ve made over 700 million on this game so it’s not as if they can’t afford it

Anticto are the guys doing the guts of the Xbox development, with support from the Coalition, but they've only been working on it for a few months. It can take months just to figure out what's going on in someone elses code, never mind optimising it.

I do agree with you though, the game should be in a better state on PC, and if it's not in a better state in two or three months on Xbox, then I'll be complaining as well, but I will give them those few months first.

I disagree. Digital Foundry commented that its an achievement getting a game like PUBG to run on console at all.

This is just the very first build on console and its playable. I have no problems playing it on Xbox and I also own the game on PC. I am not getting the whole "it should have launched in better condition" It didn't on PC. Yes it would have been nice for it to perform better at launch but this is a game that is still in development.

Of course, they could just put all the development into more microtransactions.....

Seems like the dev team had just enough time to get it up and running on the Xbox, but not enough to do any optimisation or console specific changes. They've obviously ported over the controls, but couldn't make any significant changes to them yet, as I presume that they'll get better. Same with the graphics, I'd assume that now that it's up and running, they'll be able to spend more time working on the graphics. It's never going to be a looker, but I'd imagine that they'll make changes to make the framerate a bit more stable.

Of course, they could just put all the development into more microtransactions.....

It's a much smaller size than I was thinking, it's saying it's only about a 5-6gb download on xbox live marketplace, that seems tiny. Are there any updates needed when you first download the game?

I take it there's also team kills, I gave up on teams in fortnite because the other guys will just kill you if you have a better gun than them.

Are we allowed to post up xbox live names in here to play duo's?

Team Kills on PC too. You get banned for it if you're reported enough. I presume there's no report function on the Xbox version?

Anyone on now add me for a duo game. I just get milled on the solo one haha

I was thinking that would be the case. I've never played it on PC so I won't have anything to compare it to. I'll probably be happy out shooting and looting while looking like a minecraft character anyway...

It's not limited because of the S or OG Xbox, it's limited because they probably can't get a stable 60 at the moment. A stable 30 is better than 60 with bad drops.

From what Green was saying couple of weeks ago they are aiming for 60 on the X in the long run.

Blazer

They’re going to have to lower the textures on the xbox one x to increase FPS. Limiting to 30 because of the older consoles makes a joke of the one x.
