“Oh that’s quite nice,” you may need thought after seeing screenshots or the map of the brand new desert degree coming to Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds. Sure, I assume taking a look at footage is ‘fun’ when you like that type of factor. But I’m a deeply critical Plunker, in it to win it. Now that one other new batch of desert screenshots is out, I’m deciding what I’ll nickname these constructing varieties and landmarks to effectively talk with my Plunkpals and facilitate victory. There are not any Butlins over within the desert, pals, no extra C-Dot or Red Murder Houses. Let’s settle some new names collectively.
Nvidia’s blog slammed up 5 new screenshots on Thursday so let’s study them and attempt to determine this out. (Click ’em for larger variations.)
Lots of derricks right here. If I played with Pip more I’d title this space Most Haunted, however I don’t know if my common Plunkpals are acquainted sufficient with the work of tv medium Derek Acorah to understand that.
Those three doodads (chimneys?) on the hill to the left are absolutely a helpful landmark. What’s a memorable trio? Sugababes, obvs. Maybe one other title for Pip’s profit.
Lots happening right here! I’m a minimum of grateful that the outlets have completely different names. Well, some completely different names; the duplicates will likely be difficult. That large unfinished framework within the center immediately makes me suppose Tetris. The pair of orange and white striped refinery towers poking up out the mid-right can solely be Pet Shop Boys.
Since taking part in with climbing & vaulting on the check server, I’m additionally making an attempt to determine which unusual locations I can attain in these screenshots. If I ever get killed by somebody who’s hidden susceptible on prime of the taco(?) cart, I’ll be aggravated that their daft thought labored however truthful play to them.
That rock formation behind the barn has an animalistic look to it however it’s a difficult one. Is it a sitting dromedary? Or a St. Bernard canine with a cat curled up on its again? Hmm. What do you see? We’ll have to get a definitive ruling on this pareidolia.
Heck. I don’t have a reputation for this constructing archetype. Maybe that’s good. It’d possible be one thing solely Pip would perceive anyway.
I stay fascinated by what completely different teams title locations and why.
Still no agency phrase on once we’ll get to go to the desert ourselves. This map is among the large options attributable to formally arrive in Plunkbat when it leaves early entry and launches as model 1.zero. Last we heard, that ought to occur in late December. The different large options are overhauled balistics and the climbing & vaulting system, all of which noticed motion on the test server earlier this week.
What I most loved about climbing & vaulting was seeing an entire new terrain layer seem from objects that have been all the time there, all the time seen, however I’d by no means paid consideration to in that context. Several instances I used to be stunned to seek out myself on prime of objects and locations I’d seen a thousand instances earlier than however by no means had consciousness of as locations to face. Every single participant with the ability to vault, not needing to know tips on how to crouch-jump, modified it too. And I’d see enemies in locations that have been beforehand inaccessible, the place I’d by no means anticipate finding somebody and didn’t issue into my understanding of the house. A complete layer of the world was hidden in plain sight.
Did it change that a lot? Ah, the sport remains to be identical ol’ Plunkbat at coronary heart. But positively I miss climbing & vaulting now the check server is offline.
