Whatever comes from Brendan Greene’s 10 -year project at Playerunknown Productions, it will not be the inheritance of the player’s Battlegrounds, known as Plunkbat – the grandfather of Battle Royales, which Greene has developed as an innovative director in Blueure, a subsidiary of Krafton.
Talking to me at the company’s Amsterdam office this month, Greene briefly mentioned the project has created his reputation. As you expect, he has been bombarded for many years with the requirements of a new PUBG, but has left Krafton in August 2021 to lead the Playerunknown Productions as an independent studio, he is not real pressure.
We received seed funding when we left Krafton, and we were still completely independent, he told me. I have the right to control the business. I don’t have an investor who told me to do everything. Everyone tried to let me only make another Playerunknown game, but that was not what I was interested in. And they only think that another Playerunknown game will basically be a FPS game, to do that.
Instead, Greene is currently working on Prologue: Go Wayback!, A wild breeding sim is named annoyed, out of this spring, where the use of machine learning technology in the house.
I played a WIP version of Go Wayback – Preview for tracking – and it can be told you that it lacks Plunkbatty features such as narrow map or ERM, bicycle. Instead, it is a lonely, challenging navigation game, in which players have to find their way to a radio tower without destroying, hunger, thirst or falling from the cliff. It is also a stepping stone on the way to another game, Artemis, will provide larger and larger maps, among other things.
PlayerUnknown Productions has released a model of Machine learning technology of Go Wayback as a technology demo, first words: The world has not been discovered. I am clearly doubt about anything related to creating the machine in it, the era of chatgpt and midjourney, but PUP’s technology is not completely in the same frame. It is based on internal art, GIS data (geographic information system) is available and taken of satellite photography of the Czech rural area. I will talk more about that in my preview.
Since its first release, where the consensus evaluating user is mostly negative about steam at the time of writing, PUP has faced additional calls to work on something Battlegroundsy, along with the program to support the new direction of Greene.
There was a comment on our discord at another night, where it was like, ‘just do PUBG 2’, the Creative Director of Scott Davidson told me at the Go Wayback event. After that, a lot of people in the community piled up and said, ‘Well, you can go and play PUBG’, you know, they are trying to build something different here.
You will always have people who like it, ‘Why don’t you do what you did before, that we really like’ and you like, ‘but the reason you like it is because it’s different from everything else’. So that’s what we are doing again.
However, that can happen that Go Wayback can become the same as age. It will grow during early access to respond to feedback, with gun capabilities and multi -player features.
Although Greene may have been transferred from PUBG, the same thing could not be told to his former owner, Kraton, who was trying to pioneer a “PUBG universe” of games including Mobile Game New State. PUBGVERSE once included the spiritual died of death, Callisto protocol, but in the end this became its own. Another upcoming Plunko-Stravaganzas including 5V5 shooters from top to recently announced recently announced, Bindspot, AKA Project ARC.
