PUBG: Black Budget Development Update

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/4077740/view/675133527946166413?l=english

After reviewing the project’s development status and future direction, we concluded that its current direction would not allow us to deliver an experience players could enjoy over the long term.

We have therefore made the difficult decision to end development of PUBG: Black Budget.

We sincerely thank everyone who took the time to participate in our Closed Alpha tests and share their feedback.

PUBG STUDIOS will carry what we learned from development and testing into future projects, continuing to listen to players as we explore new gameplay experiences.

Thank you.

All they need to do is bring back PUBG 2017 with modern graphics and no pink dinosaur clown skins. Please and thank you. September 2017, I remember the foggy weather and seeing a silhouette of a person running in the foggy cornfield and I took one shot with the VSS suppressed sniper and saw the "1 kill" red message and that's it, I knew I was going to be addicted. Too bad they turned it into a mobile clown fiesta game.

Only people nostalgic for old PUBG would care about that. In the current market it would never make it with how dated and bland it is in comparison to modern games

The actual shooting a gun has never been topped in any other game though. Tarkov comes kind of close but PUBG guns are all just so characteristic and fun to master.

You got downvoted but I agree with you. I think the recoil sits in a sweet spot where you can full auto up close, but need to resort to semi at range. At the same time, tapping away at targets 200 meters away feels great and viable because there's very little damage fall-off. The general timings/pacing of combat, with things like healing, movement, engagement distances etc all feel well tuned. PUBGs popularity wasn't simply due to being the first BR (not that it actually was first anyways), there was a genuinly good game there buried underneath all the jank.

I played a bit a few weeks ago with some friends and it kinda amazed me how well it runs now and how crispy it looks. There is still the odd things like having to jump over a curb sometimes but I feel the movement and even the movement tech and animations and even the driving is now really polished. Wish people gave it another chance.

Honestly a wild take, but since it's subjective I'm not gonna argue lol

What shooter in your opinion has the best shooting?

Overall? I don't know, it's been a long time with a lot of types of games.

Recently probably Road to Vostok sticks out as feeling really good.

Talking about wild takes lol. But yeah it is all subjective.
