I'm hoping someone can remember this and hopefully even give a mini review of the game.

I saw a youtube trailer of the game - you started in a plane and were dropped into a village by parachute and thereafter it's pure survival. You can find guns, cars etc and every couple of minutes a 'pressure wave' would take out a certain area of land, meaning you have to keep moving but also keeping surviving.

The trailer looked really unique and intense but I can't for the life of me remember the name to read more on it - help please smile

PlayerUnknown's Battle Grounds to be exact, or PUBG in gamer parlance. YT is swamped with thousands of PUBG streams if you're interested.

There's also a more "cartoon" type version called Fortnite that my son plays

PubG is one of the only games which gets my heart racing. It must be the fact that when you die then you need to start another game. Playing a squad game allows you to be revived if your team mate gets to you before the opposition finishes you or you bleed out. This makes for very strategic and tense games.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not really a gamer but something's captured my imagination about this game. Would the reality be that I land and just get killed constantly by experienced players or is it OK for a novice?!

This is quite similar, but free (on xbox certainly) to get you used to the concept.

Some games you get killed straight away and some you get into the top 10. It depends on your tactics, there are a lot of maps you can look up that shows the best loot locations which are more likely to have a lot of people parachuting into them. You get used to looking for areas that are a little quieter but you can get decent gear. I'd recommend watching wackyjacky101's videos on YouTube.

As I understand it you get matched with players at the same level as you to keep things even. You get “scored” based on hit points (how many bullets actually hit their target) and kills. The better you do, the higher you rank and more competent adversaries you get match with.

It looks like good fun; I’ve never played first hand but watch a lot of Eurogamer and Platform 32 streams - they are much more relaxed and it’s like watching mates play. There is a channel called PUBG Rank#1 (or something like that) if you want to see guys taking it ultra seriously.

No probs, also Stonemountain64 is great to watch on youtube. He has custom games like extra loot, pistols only and extra deadly circles. He sounds like he is ultra serious but a lot of the time he is taking the piss.
