What the hell is this?
Ring of Elysium is a brand new online battle arena game, once again following in the footsteps of the seminal PUBG. Focusing on realistic combat, Ring of Elysium does not provide poultry sustenance for survivors. Instead, this mysterious VR environment sets a group of kidnapped participants against each other in a fight to the death. It features realistic weather, fantastic looking terrain, and the sort of detail that makes other arena games look a little half-baked.
Why should I care?, I have PUBG.
You may have heard of Tencent. Based in Shenzhen, it's the largest gaming company in the world. It launched PUBG on mobile, has invested $15 million in bringing Fortnite to China, is helping Ubisoft publish its games in East Asia, and owns stakes in Activision, Riot, and many more household names in the industry.
Despite its imitative identity, though, many are enjoying Ring of Elysium as a PUBG alternative, as it succeeds where that game has failed in a number of respects; offering a smoother and more optimised experience with greater weapon variety and tactical depth than Steam's number one title.
OK I'm on board lets see it then.

And finally some ingame footage staring Grimmmz (stating he will make this his main game over PUBG if it gets brought to NA).

Alright give me!!
Best of all this game is FREE! completely free, and no pay to win anything. The game is not currently available outside of Asia however the west can get in on the action early by following the below video!.

DON'T KNOCK IT TILL YOU TRY IT!!!.
I am no PUBG fan but that looks like PUBG in the YT Thumbnail.
It is very very like it, as in the controls ingame are exactly the same for example if you have played PUBG you can play this. The funny thing is this isn't a rip off in a typical sense, Tencent and Bluehole are actually in contract with each other, for example Tencent developed the PUBG Mobile version. There is rumours going around that this is a PUBG replacement by the 2 studios.
It claims to have some aspects better than PUBG. Like what? I really am not seeing the improvement.
Also the sound design is noticeably bad.
That map design is like 1:1
Even the animations are exactly the same. Look at the pistol/smg running animations. I mean, come on.
Yep it goes further than that, its really a re-imagining of PUBG and plays almost exactly the same however its the little things that it does better that really count. The sound isnt as good that is true but the gunplay, the smoothness, the map design and pacing, the ease of movement and little improvements really add up. Download and give the game a go it is free and although its early access it plays better than current PUBG.
We're reaching levels of cheap knockoff not previously thought possible
Kind of impossible to avoid that since pubg is just a medium end game using 'realistic' style graphics, though it still basically looks like the same thing
pubg didn't invent any of those things, the only thing that'd make it feel the same is really having matched items and animations, same graphical quality
the UI though is just straight pulled from pubg for sure
Considering this is clearing banking off the asian market, 100% chance that if not already, it will soon be filled with hacking and cheats.
If it's free, doesn't have asset flips, has polished animations, doesn't run like shit while looking bad too, has polished sounds and the devs don't act like crybabies all the time then i'm sold.
Most of these things seem to be already confirmed, judging by these videos (well except for the sound design)
Your not wrong about the cheating issue, we can only hope for some sort or region or ping lock if and when we get a release (which is actually likely under the name Europa) there is no real reason to play in high ping areas except if you want to cheat.
Yes to all of the above except the sound, which they are aware of and I have seen gradual improvements to the sounds in the last update.
offering a smoother and more optimised experience
Been playing the Thai version for a few weeks now and I totally agree with this.
And I reckon that I'd probably clock more on hours on this than I have on PUBG so far if it ever gets released in Europe or MENA.
The map problem, just to clarify, isn't that it's kinda the same. It IS the same. Like there isn't even a real style deviation. You could plop it owner and think it's PUBG. They could have gone with different building markers, font style, name placement style, grid style. Yet it's the same.
The way weapons are holstered by the backpack is even the same. And that's by the thumbnail because I already have an understanding about the direction the devs chose.
I don't give 2 flying fucks about both of these games, but a rip-off is a rip-off no matter what colour it's been covered up by.
Vehicles are too glued to the ground and wont eject you into space on a moments notice.
3/10
Banner at the top made me think that this was gonna be a neat scifi sorta thing
Nope, still fuck-ass ugly standard houses and an exact copy of PUBG's visual look.
I just installed and already I gotta say, the character cusotmization in this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay fucking more complex than PUBG, it's quite extensive.
This fad of battle royale games has to stop.
It's way worse than the zombie game fad DayZ started
So I took the time to download RoE and have to admit I enjoy it quite a bit better than PUBG.
My main gripe with the genre is that there really isn't much the developers can/are willing to do with it, all of the games are more or less the same.
There really isn't much room for innovation.
This just looks like pubg but with different graphics
hows PUBG a knockoff? Brendan Greene (PlayerUnknown) made the arma 2/3 mods that started this style of gameplay
anytime anything is labeled "The X killer" it ends up just killing itself
The "battlegrounds" genre is much older than PUBG.
HL2 Jeep wheel sounds...
Your right but its not the devs that labeled it this, I think the reason for it is because of PUBG's inability to address core issues with the game and just try to monetize it further and further. This game is actually good fun, you have nothing to lose trying it out if you don't like it that's fine, no money spent, no harm no foul.
I had been waiting for a thread on this game to come up and since it hadn't I figured I would create one because im keen to talk about it and where its headed, tactics etc.
This game seriously needs some anti-cheat system or a better one.
Game has hackers left and right atm.
I literally had a dude trying to shoot at me through a wall. I ran to the side of the building where the door was open and hid on the otherside of it peaking for him. He was too far to hear me and he starts shooting at me through the door. He's not even trying to hide it.
so op how much did tencent pay you to shill this game
this game is trash compared to pubg
has no bullet ballistics
movement is basically the same as the cheap mobile knockoffs of pubg like rules of survival and knives out
they use bots to fill up the servers like how mobile games do
sounds are shit and not as reliable as they are in pubg
desperately pays streamers to advertise game
pubg killer my ass this game is fuckin wonk
this does indeed look like utter shit, another terrible knockoff where it does nothing better than the games it attempts to compete with
what a joke
I wasn't paid to shill this I dont think anyone was, it wasnt even technically available yet but the demand is high enough that they are going to want to bring this to the west proper. As for cheats and bots, I have seen neither and have played a-lot of games I think people think there is bots because your first match is against really bad unranked players and if you come from PUBG there is a good chance your going to dominate but from then on you will be paired against people of a similar skill level. This game is succeeding where PUBG fails, and I have ALOT of time in pubg along with 25+ wins, all I can say is myself and my friends have moved over and anyone we introduce it to has too, its fun, its free, no reason not to give it a go.
