What exactly are PUBG Hackers? Well we all know how hard it is to deal with these hackers in our favorite game in ages,PUBG. The immense fun is being ruined day by day whenever these players,sorry they should only be called CHEATERS. We tend to find them at least once in every 10 games these days. To be honest, it is sometimes great to see yourself getting shot from a distance of 400m,but only if the rivals are legit pros and not some douchebag CHEATER with some hacks installed. There is no moment with more frustration than this. Just like any other game,the main aim for players in this game is to win, by the last surviving individual or team. There are two ways to win the game- Build your skills by practicing and creating better tactics to win and the second one is also to build your skills but not ethically, but by using certain unscrupulous cheats which gives your player super skills (100 meter jumps,super speeds,perfect aims.Read the next section to know more) Today we are going to talk about these players-HACKERS Types of hacks- Wall Banging (Through Shots)- This has been a nightmare since the days of Counter Strike. Getting shot when you are behind a hard cover which bullets can not penetrate. This type of hack only requires a line of sight to shoot other players. There are hundreds of videos on YouTube showing how some cheaters have killed other players across a HILL, yes. Imagine the level of frustration when you are shot through an entire hill. Magic Bullet/Aim-bot/Recoil Hack - Just like the name, this hack genuinely does magic during the game. You just need to fire bullets anywhere near the enemy and the bullets will get attracted to the enemy just like a magnet is attracted to a magnet. Magic Bullet automatically changes the path of the bullets and ends up damaging the enemy. This cheat not only hits the enemy,but it also surpasses the vest and helmet and hence it does not matter if you are wearing a level three protection and directly decreases the victim’s HP (Health Points) .Magic Bullets are quite identical to Aim-bot as it serves a similar purpose of delivering maximum number of hits even if a player’s control over guns are terrible. Though Aim-bot directly aims over the head, and torso of the enemy resulting in a higher damage. Recoil Cheats or mods lets the user to use a gun with no recoil,and anyone here with even a little experience can tell how this can change the game with guns like AKM (Just envision the damage given by the guns like AKM and Groza with no recoil- MIND-BLOWN) ESP- ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. This term explains itself,any cheater using this hack will have the ability of ESP. Which means that anyone using this cheat will be able to know about the locations of all the players in the game,and will be able to see them through all terrains,walls,containers and what not. Also,ESP does not only gives you the power to see your rivals but it also discloses where all the guns,consumables and other items are lying in the game. Imagine getting a DP-18 or M416 in the first few seconds of the game,we know it would make all the difference when you land in a hot drop like pochinki or georgopol. ESP is one of the most popular cheats used these days in android phones and emulators. The main reason behind its popularity is that it decreases the level of suspicion which is relatively very high if compared to Magic Bullets or Aim Bots. No Footprint/Fire/Vehicle indicator- Not many people know about this hack, because it is the only motive behind using this cheat. Many of you may think “Kya hi ho jayega isse”, but believe us guys you are underestimating the leverage it provides to these cheaters. Imagine being in a small zone with all your players spread out and trying to spot enemies while a hacker starts firing at your squad with you having no idea where the fire is coming from (As there will be no indicator on the map) . The same happens when if there is no vehicle indicator on the map, a sudden squad rush with no warning is one of the top reasons because of which we die in PUBG. Speed Hack/Jump Hack/Flying Cars- We all have at a point of time in the game have seen ghosts passing through in the streets of Pochinki. They were not ghosts but some cheaters using speed hacks. These players get enhanced running speeds and it does not stops here. They can make enormous jumps. So enormous that I have seen some hackers dying with “Fell from a high location” I am not kidding guys,this is legit. What to do How do you know if there is a hacker in the game- Watching the kill-feed- Many of us do not use kill-feed for what is was made. We can use kill-feed to make an educated guess of the location of our enemies ( If someone dies of bombing,check where the red zone is). Also how strong an enemy squad is and how many players are alive in a squad. Although one of the most underutilized features is to notice if an individual is making a suspicious amount of kills in a suspicious amount of time. You can generally presume that,that player is a hacker. Watch Their Game-play- There have been so many chances where you were knocked by the enemy who is using a UMP or even an UZI and is at least at a distance of 300 metres, even if you had level three vest and a good helmet. Or the chances when you were reviving your knocked teammate behind a wall and the very next second you are dead. These are the times when there is a high probability that there was a hacker in the enemy team. Watch your lobby- We all love doing random things in the lobby, be it punching some random guy or just driving the boat to the land so that none of the other players get a chance to drive the boat(Random acts of selfishness and fun combined. WOW). What we usually don’t notice that a random player is crawling at a weird pace or jumping awfully high leaps. These acts make it definite that there is presence of cheaters in the game. We suggest you leave that lobby as soon as possible,because who would love getting a head shot in pochinki while the bullet travels from Ruins. DUH!! Why are the cases of hacking escalating- For starters,the reasons behind the increase in cheating are the same for which all of us started playing PUBG. PUBG is a FREE GAME- Even if your account gets blocked, you can always create a new on,because it takes zero amount of money to do so.This is the logic behind the drastic difference between the number of cheaters in PUBG Mobile and PUBG PC. The computer variant of the game costs INR 700 in India, and who would want to get their accounts blocked and waste their money. Rank Push and Rush Game-plays - We all want to rush and kill enemy squads,because it simply is the best kind of game-play in PUBG and also provides the rank push all of us want.Adrenaline rush makes us feel and also who does not want to feel like a pro who kills a squad alone and see their name in the conqueror tier in the ASIA SERVER. Free hacks on Android and emulator- You need not even purchase these cheats. If you are dedicated enough, you ought to find these anywhere on the internet with just a little dive of research.Even we found hundreds of YouTube videos offering free PUBG cheats and mods while researching for this article. This was the article for the week from your favorite GamerzByte.

What is Fornite:Battle Royale- Fortnite is not just any other Battle Royale games in the market. Just like PUBG,Fortnite was one of the first BR games to break into the gaming industry,and the EPIC Games produced Fortnite broke the market wide and large and became every other GAMERZ favorite quite very soon. Fortnite is a free to play Online Battle Royale game published by Epic Games Co.,Launched in 2017 after seeing the popularity of PUBG, it was mainly a spin-off for the Fortnite:Save the world Survival game. Fortnite had a very similar game plot , 100 players skydive from the PARTY BUS to an island where the players have to loot for weapons, consumables and other items. The main aim of the game is to be the last standing man or the last standing team. All of us who have played a couple of rounds in Fortnite:BR,have fallen in love with the game, it does not matter if you have been loyal with PUBG or any other BR game, you just can’t hate fortnite. So,let's dive into How Fortnite is one of the most addictive games in the industry right now. What makes Fortnite so addictive- Some health experts have genuinely said the Fortnite can get as addictive as some substantial drugs like Cocaine- We are not kidding guys, you can google it. There has been thousands of cases on the internet about Fortnite has became a very addictive thing in individual’s lives, and why is it so? Lose by a little-Win by more- ‘Do you remember the success of the “King” produced Candy Crush Saga,and how you could see people all around you so addicted to the game. You would be thinking what Candy Crush and Fortnite have in common. Did you notice how close you would get in winning and just a few steps would have won you the game in Candy Crush and how a few more bullets would have killed the enemy in fortnite. Getting it? Often after a gunfight where we die,we see how low was the enemy on health,and rage is on - “Mannnnnnn He was just one shot away”.This is what we mean by Lose by a little and Win by more. You often lose only by a few bullets or a small mishap, and you think that the next game you would have the chance to pay for those missed bullets,but when you win you think you’ve just out-killed all the other 99 players,which is WINNING BIG. This makes you get into the game again and again. This is the main reason why fortnite has been so addictive to all us GAMERZ. Not just shooting- Fortnite which enrolled more than 10 million players within the first few weeks of its release,isn’t just another loot,move and shoot game. It is much more than that.It comprises of collecting items to build, building walls and forts and using it to your advantage-to hide or to confuse your enemy. Exactly how Hide and Seek gave us the most of the fun in our childhood, Fortnite does the same Fortnite is simply not just a single dimensional game where only the Shrouds win the game with their accurate headshots. You have to plan and use teamwork to become the most dominant in the entire game. Unlike PUBG and the most Battle Royale games, Fortnite connects different aspects of your gaming skills to conclude in making you the winner. Freemium Model While most games on PC and consoles are paid these days, Fortnite has revolutionized gaming in many ways. GAMERZ like us who can not spend thousands on just buying the game,have been showered with the blessings from EPIC Games. The free game gives us a chance to buy other items in the game,like a Premium Pass for the season,other wearables which set us apart from other players in the game for a much cheaper cost than buying a single gaming title. One thing maybe that gaming company who tempted us in spending so much of our hard earned money- EA, should learn from these newly released gaming titles. Fortnite Vs PUBG Vs Other Battle Royales Graphics- The Graphical View of Fortnite,just like most things has its own Pros and Cons.The game delivers Cartoonish Graphics and Violence which means no graphic detailing ie. no show of blood or bullet shots which many parents would prefer over the realistic approach towards violence like in PUBG or any CoD game. Dynamics of the Game- Anyone who has spent some time on Fortnite and Battle Royale games,know how different dynamics and mechanics of the game is.Epic Games have focused on an Easier movement,minimum recoil and have considerably made shooting easier. All these factors influence in making the game more enjoyable for Casual players, which targets the main motive of the gaming- Enjoyment. Highly Optimized Game play- Epic Games have a huge arsenal of technicians and have a much much larger developer team if compared to Blue Hole Games,which is why Fortnite has been optimized to perfection making it playable on lower end gaming PCs unlike other top tier games like -PUBG or Rainbow Six Siege which deliver an unplayable low frame rates and rage causing lag. Casual Game play- Fortnite has always been a very casual game instead of making it a serious game. All the small points in the game make it more fun and relaxing than the other slow paced games. It is comparatively easier and more stress free to spot enemies in fortnite,not just enemies, it is also an easier task to find good loot in the game. The loot is often neon lighted in the game,and is quicker to find. Also,an average Fortnite Round lasts only 20 minutes,which makes it a quick ending game,eventually generating a more engaging routine for the GAMERZ. Who did not love Thor and Korg playing Fortnite and scolding NoobMaster69 OUR VERDICT- THERE IS NO VERDICT Even if compare Fornite:Battle Royale with the other Video Games in the market, it is extremely difficult to choose a winner. Fortnite on PC and consoles is by numbers more popular than PUBG if we take Player Count on the marks,but gets thrashed by PUBG mobile when it comes to Android and iOS platform. This brings us to the end of this week’s blog from your favorite GamerzByte. Make sure you comment and lets us know about your views on FORTNIGHT also tell us what would you like to hear from our side in the coming weeks GamerzByte India is an eSports Entertainment Co., dealing in managing and organizing electronic gaming events, contests and/or tournaments across India.

Dust - The love of every gamer Counter Strike has been with us since we can remember. From the days of Counter Strike 1.6 to the days of CS:GO and so has DUST - The legendary map has always been on the top of the favorites list for all the CS players. All of us went to gaming cafes with our friends spending half a dozen hours straight,also how cheap was gaming back then, simply take your regular position in the cafe and also in the game and completely cut off the connection from the outside world.Winning back to back games,raiding different servers from all over. THE BEST FEELING EVER. What exactly is DUST - Dust is similar to any other map in CS in the terms of the scenario(Though it is one of the 3 oldest bomb defusal maps in the CS History which include Nuke and Prodigy) - bomb defusal scenario between CT(Counter Terrorists) and the Terrorists,where the bomb can be planted by the terrorists on any of the two bomb sites-A and B. The map is set in a kind of Middle-Eastern Town where terrorists and the CT spawn at two areas which are apart from each other. The main motive of the game is- For Terrorists- To deploy and blast the C4 bomb near Chemical Stashes (Did you know the boxes at both sides are Chemical Boxes,No right?) and for the Counter Terrorists- To prevent the terrorists from blasting the bomb,if the bomb is planted, the CT need to defuse the bomb in order to win the round. Let’s get into how one map has matriculated all the tests of time and the history and other things to know about the legendary map-DUST The History- The map designer for the Dust Maps- David Johnston was just a teenager at the time, he loved designing mod games for different games,and hence also loved designing different maps. David,first got inspiration for the Desert Town inspired map,when he got a look at some leaked pictures for a map in the then cancelled game-” Team Fortress 2- Brotherhood at Arms” . The map was professionally textured later,with removal of unnecessary elements in the map, which eventually lead to the release of the map DUST known as “de_dust”. Where “de” stands for Defuse .With the launch,Dust became an overnight favorite of all the GAMERZ around the world. This made David and his team extremely happy. The beginning of Dust 2- David and his team kept a very straight forward thought process while building the sequel for the massively popular map,to stick to the original theme of the DUST map. They wanted to recreate the magic of Dust but not make it exactly like the dust,which is a hard thing to do. Apart from the changes made to the actual map from the older Dust, the texture was made a little more realistic and minor changes to the position of sun and introduction of other physical objects in the later parts of the updates. Though minor updates still keep rolling to this map, it never actually received a layout changes in it. While Dust 2 was actually named as it is now,earlier David Johnston had given it the name of Dust 3,but later released as Dust 2 in the year 2001 with the game CS 1.1 and just like its predecessor, Dust 2 gained immense love,with servers working at their max loads at all times,the developers soon understood the map’s actual potential. AWPING- Who doesn’t like to registering a perfect kill by marking a headshot. Be it from the “MID DOORS” where,according to us the terrorist side has better leverage over the CT side, but the case changes when the CTs have an AWP at the “A Long”,also the CTs have a stronger position at the bomb site A, when a CT is placed just behind the CAR, it is almost impossible to see them before it gets too late and you are dead. With the time,AWPing has also improved drastically, players have started finding new angles throughout the map and also multiple strange tricks to get the best of AWP. Popular Terms Used in Dust 2- There is a reason why everyone who plays DUST 2 feels like they own the game and that they are a pro at the game ( Even though you are not,LOL). The feel of shouting LT,UT,A Long does the all. Just because the game is hugely popular,most of the players understand what they are talking about,and if you don’t we are here to tell you- LT- Lower Tunnel UT - Upper Tunnel T Spawn- Terrorist Spawn Area CT- CT Spawn Area A Long- The longer corridor which connects the Long doors and the Bombsite A Window- The Window just above the bombsite B which looks over the CT Mid. AFK- Away from Keyboard ( Mostly used when a player goes offline while in the match) Camping- Staying at a single position waiting for an enemy. One Tap- Killing with just one shot Gay Gunner- A player who is using Scar-20 or any other automatic snipers (DMRs) Eco Round- Pistol only round,in order to save money Hand Cannon- Deagle Pistol ( Known for its amazing damage) IGL- In_Game_Leader,the one who leads a team and guides. Molly- Molitov Wallbanger- The one shoots through penetrable objects in the game. The most important-GG- Good Game Weird Facts about the game- Crouching Does not make more damage- It is often said the crouching will give your enemy more damage, a complete myth, crouching simply helps by making it easier to aim directly upon the torso of the enemy. No Skins and No Competitive Matchmaking- Until late, CS did not offer any gun/knife skins to its players and also no competitive matchmaking. Locate the bomb in the smoke- If you keep your tutorials on, you can locate the bomb even in a smoke. Tame your chicken- Simply press E near a chicken and chicken will keep following you in the entire game. In the first few trials of the map,the underpass led to a different arena, but was later before the release removed as the developers found it confusing. This was our tribute to one of the legendary maps in the entire history of not only Counter Strike but the entire FPS Gaming. Dust has been with our Thick and thin,always there when we wanted to try some extreme rush game plays or camping with an AWP. Tell us the most loved thing about this fabulous map in the comment section.

Streaming Culture in India- With the Internet Revolution in India brought by Asia’s Richest Business Tycoon- Mr Mukesh Ambani. Jio not only brought dirt cheap data to boost social media but also gave a humongous boost to YouTube in India,and with major population of India being youth. It became a kick start to the big youth oriented industry which is Gaming. Gaming Industry not only includes youth playing games like PUBG,Fortnite,Call Of Duty but also enjoying their favorite streamers on YouTube playing the same games they love. Many of our friends watch these games more than they even play them,because these streamers give a different kind of entertainment to the audience which was till recent unknown in India-eSports. What is streaming? Streaming is a technical term. Which in simple language can be explained as,when we watch something over the internet or even cable(TV),it is simply streamed from one place(Server Location) to us(Destination Location- TV/PC/Mobiles). Gaming Streams are the streaming where professional or entertainment GAMERZ stream their gaming over the internet through a Streaming Medium-popularly Twitch or YouTube. Streaming is a very entertaining form of gaming,most people who have not yet watched some popular streamers may think how watching someone else play a game is so fun? But believe us guys, it really is. For those who have not yet experienced a stream,make sure you read the entire blog ,so that you know all the popular and entertaining streamers from our country. What makes streams interesting- Streaming is mainly the pure entertainment side of gaming these days, you will notice that most of the popular streamers around the world,do not stream ONLY to WIN,but their man aim is to entertain their core audience,which is us.Streamers try to make the most for their friendly audience. From weird hidden secrets in the game, glitches. Most streamers,not only in India but around the world,make private gaming rooms (Virtual Private Rooms) where there Gaming Army can play a match against their favorite game players,interact via voice chat team up and do different missions.These streaming sessions involve all forms of merrymaking.From hilarious Chats,amusing requests and most difficult yet ridiculously weird challenges and what not happens on the streams. Streaming in India- While the streaming service,Twitch is not really common among Indians because of Twitch Prime not available in India ,also youth does not really like and can not afford to pay to watch video games online. Which makes YouTube Gaming the main source of watching streams in India right now. Most YouTubers start their streaming at night,mostly after 8, simply because majority of the people get free only after 8 in India. This is a simple yet effective strategy to get involved with most number of audience.YouTube Gaming has provided a platform for both,the streamers as well as the audience,both of them get a chance to interact with each other using features like Live Chat,but because of a big fan following of most YouTubers, live chats tend to become very populous and becomes hard for the streamers to read all of them. This is where the feature called Super Chat comes in. Super Chat is basically a paid feature,which means,if someone from the audience pays a certain amount of money,the payer’s live chat is highlighted among the other chats and which makes it easier for the streamer to notice the particular chat and hence better interaction between the audience and the streamer. Most Popular Streamers in India- With the combo of Cheap Internet and the launch of nail biting Battle Royale games like PUBG,COD and many others in India,streamers across the subcontinent have got fame and an amazing subscriber base. Here are some of the most entertaining and popular Indian Game Streamers- Carry Minati (CarryIsLive)- Ajey Nagar AKA Carry Minati who started his YouTube journey from his roast channel called Carry Minati was always a gamer at heart and used to use gaming videos as his background videos for his roasting videos.The name Carry Minati itself has gaming embedded in it- It sums up with two words-Carry,which means the one who carries the entire team to a victory in a game and Minati-which is taken from the word Illuminati.He soon made a dedicated channel for streaming games- CarryIsLive. Carry (Ajey) started streaming games like PUBG and CS:GO and soon gained huge popularity,because he delivered the kind of entertainment his audience wanted.Carry’s Channel is the first of its kind in India. People love interacting with carry and love to chat with him as he loves his audience and uses his amazing humour to make his audience ROFL. CarryIsLive- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0IWRLai-BAwci_e9MylNGw Beast Boy Shubh- BeastBoy as his fans like to call him,was one of the first Hindi GAMERZ on Indian YouTube. His name just like Carry,has a story related to gaming. He started this name when he first started playing the then hugely popular mobile game- Mini Militia. What he has achieved today,a feat of more than 2 Million Subscribers on YouTube,has been extremely hard for him.With no budget in the beginning, he started gaming from his regular PC and a poor camera ,in his room (Just imagine, do you dare to upload entire videos which contain clips of your room in front of the world of YouTube.)He even hid the fact that he was working on a Gaming YouTube Channel from his parents. He experimented a lot with his choice of videos in the beginning but ended up with making gaming has his choice of videos for the future. Beast is famous for his use of his funny facial expressions in his thumbnails. BeastBoyShubh- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI86prlqXhbkREDMTaORvLQ Mortal- Unlike other YouTubers who get into gaming later,after they try some other categories in YouTube.Mortal from his earlier days had been very particular about gaming. Naman Mathur who’s gaming alias is Mortal,started his YouTube streaming from the game Mini Militia,and then got into PUBG-Mobile as soon as it launched in India. Mortal is popularly known as Mortal Chacha among his fans for unknown reason (Yes,GAMERS are weird).His popularity and contribution to indian gaming bagged him sponsorships from brands like OnePlus and many other brand intergrations.Mortal is one the best PUBG-M players across the world. Mortal’s team-TEAM SOUL had won PUBG India Championship earlier this year which qualified them for the PMSC- Berlin Championship,though TEAM SOUL could not win and marked 12th position at the end of the tournament, but Mortal was named the Crowd Favorite Player for the tournament. Mortal-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7Q7pl0z0MrdayvmAnchlJQ/videos Dynamo- Dynamo,who’s line “Patt se Headshot” is probably more popular than him these days,thanks to platforms like TikTok and other meme pages. Dynamo has been one of the oldest (not so consistent though) GAMERZ channels on YouTube in India. Dynamo started his gaming channel with a montage video of one of the most loved games in the gaming Industry- BattleField 3. He then soon shifted to PUBG-PC and started streaming his entire gameplays of 2-3 hours on YouTube,which used to be an unpopular culture at that time in India. He started gaining audience with the rise of PUBG, he loves sniping and hence got the title of Sniping king Dynamo. Though he soon shifted to PUBG-M using emulator from the PC game, he then became an even more deadly Sniper,because PUBG-M’s mechanics and gameplay were much easier if compared to the PC variant of the game. Dynamo is extremely popular on YouTube,with a subscriber base of 4+Million, he is way ahead in the league even with the likes of Carry Minati. Ankith V3nom Panth- Ankith Panth AKA The V3nom is one of the most consistent Streamers in India from the past 3 years. Ankith has the same story as many of us. He faced a lot of taunts for his love of gaming from friends,family and even the society.All of them told V3nom,that this is just a way to pass time and he will never be able to earn bread for his family with what he wants to do-Gaming.He proved them all wrong with a lot of dedication,consistency when he became one of the first in the country to be affiliated directly with Corsair. Ankith is one of the best Pro-Players India has in the game of Counter Strike.At one point of time,in the beginning of his YouTube career,he used to stream for 6-7 hours a day,at one sitting. We are not kidding, it is extremely hard for one to be so dedicated towards one thing,when there is not enough audience to boost your self-confidence. V3nom has a different character than other Indian Streamers,he is more of a professional-league player. Ankith is also a popular and has a successful career in DJing. So, he is not only good in gaming but also knows the art of music. V3nom-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZT5nE2GoKownr5N48_NsPQ So,this was something on gaming from our side for this week. Streaming has been gaining extreme popularity in India,which has opened gates of self-confidence for many of us as GAMERZ . Not only do we now have the morale to face the society and our families,the stories behind these now successful streamers make sure that we do not lack in our determination.GamerzByte was born with the aim of making Gaming as big as we can in India.No talent should be wasted,no matter what field you want to pursue, and this is why we bring you a chance to work as a full-time YouTuber at our channel and much more so that you get a chance to earn the name,fame and money,head on to the page to learn more about it- https://www.gamerzbyte.com/careers GamerzByte India is an eSports Entertainment Co., dealing in managing and organizing electronic gaming events, contests and/or tournaments across India.

Let's take a ride back to the good old days of Cartridge Games With the bright shine of games like FIFA and Call of Duty, somewhere all of us forgot the games we actually grew up playing. Glued to our TV Screens ( For the kids of this generation,yes these games were not played on PC and only on gaming consoles attached to the only TV in the house) for hours and hours in day and night. Only left the screen when our parents forced us to and we had to leave Princess Peach who was kidnapped by the Brutal Bowser. Almost all of us used to boast our collection of cartridges and all the latest games we owned. Exchanging cartridges with our friends and enjoying new games every now and then was the best feeling ever. Not worrying about low FPS (Because there was none), but we still used to rage when stuck on that one BOSS LEVEL. Feeling nostalgic? Don’t worry we have a bag full of it ready for you ahead. The OG 9999999 in 1 Games (LOL)- Super Mario Bros (Obviously) - We undoubtedly had to start this dope list from the best of them. The SUPER MARIO BROS- Luigi and Mario were our first Game Character Love (At least for some of us). The objective of the game was to beat all the levels and free the beloved Princess Peach who was kidnapped by the Evil Tortoise Family. There were unlimited number of mods for this game,most of them were extremely weird and funny, I remember a game called Super Mario Bros- The Moon edition,in this you could literally take jumps which were so long that you could feel that Mario was flying half the level ( I am not kidding guys). FUN FACT- Mario Bros was one hard ass game back in the day ,only if we had unlimited lives so that we could travel back to the world we died in,right? Actually the developers thought of us and made a mode with unlimited. NO KIDDING, we just had to Press A ( If you had one) and Start at the same time. (Only if internet was at our aid at that time) Contra- This was one of the first Shooting Games I ever had my hands on (Tell us what was yours in the comment section guys). The actual genre for the game was Run and Gun. Both of the two Contra Commandos named Bill and Lance were hell of a ripped guys who reminded me duo of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. The main plot of the game was to save our Planet from an invading alien attack(By Red Falcon Co.). The players are trained commandos in Guerrilla Warfares. This game gave new dimensions to controlling the players. The characters were one of the most free-style characters of the time with both the commandos having the ability to move not only their bodies but also the aim of their guns. All of us loved who they somersaulted through the air and jumping over bad guys. Getting the gun upgrade was the most bad-ass moments in the game,right? FUN FACT- In the very later sequel of contra, it was revealed that the main villain the Red Falcon Co. only came to Earth to retrieve an Alien Tech known as the Moirai Relic, which was stolen by someone on Earth. Konami’s Track & Field- This game by Konami consisted of multiple Olympics like Athletic events- 100 Meter Dash,Long Jump,Hurdle Race,Javelin Throw,Skeet Shooting,Triple Jump,Archery and High Jump. This was one of the few games,which were the simplest to play but still we had no idea of what we did to win. WE JUST WANTED TO WIN. This game taught us how to press and spam buttons as fast as we could. I guess my controllers went bad because of these games (LOL). For me the hardest of these eight games were Javelin throw and Long Jump,not because it required something hard,but because I was dumb and coudn’t time my throws and jumps.Also,I enjoyed the games background audio like anything,it was just like an 8-bit music,but back then all of us were just enjoying everything,didn’t we? Here check out- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIjDpOFensY FUN FACT- Track & Field became an Arcade Favorite and Konami arranged championships and the national winners were given the chance to go to the 1984 Olympics. Duck Hunt Talking about the T&F Music, how can we forget the cheering music of Duck Hunt guys. This game was our Go-To game when we were frustrated,shooting those ducks down and the happy dog clenching them (Okay,too dramatic). What we sometimes enjoyed more than the game itself was the feeling of handling a working pistol in our hand ( It did work as Video Game Gun Bro),but most of us were always confused how did it even work,I did. To date ,Duck Hunt (Also Clay Shooting) is one of the games I miss the most. I miss the use of Zapper Gun ( You need a CRT TV to use the zapper,and HTC Vive are a little too expensive.) Fun Fact- How often did you shut up your sibling saying there was no multiplayer in Duck Hunt? Not your fault,not many of us knew this,but the second player could actually control the duck in the game. Time to confess? Sonic the Hedgehog- Who wouldn't love a super fast hedgehog? We loved him.Sonic could run at Sonic speeds throughout the levels.For me,the main task was not to complete any level,but I found collection a hundred Gold Rings to get an extra life more fun. GAMERZ are weird and we all know it. Rage moments when we collided with an enemy and lost our rings. The main plot of the game was to stop Dr. Ivo Robotnik also known as Dr. Eggman from collecting all the emeralds and harnessing the powers from all of them( Just like the Avengers trying to stop Thanos from collecting all of the Infinity Stones guys). Sonic also frees captured animals from Earth which are caged by the evil doctor. FUN FACT- Sonic, The Hedgehog himself did not had any super powers but was super fast because of the “Power Sneakers” he used to wear.

In India, most of our families have always considered GAMING as just a part of entertainment, and think that it has no more scope outside the field of fun. Choosing GAMING as a career or a source of income has always been considered as a taboo in the Indian community. Most of us have grown up stuck in front of a screen playing our favorite games from Mario to Vice City to PUBG,spending hours and hours of our time enjoying these fun games. Whilst us enjoying most of our families have always considered it a waste of time just like most of the other things we have been doing. “ Why are you wasting your time? These games are not going to bring any good to your lives! Think about your future, Are these going to bring you your daily bread? “ All of us have grown up listening to these taunts, but most of us have heard this from one year and let these words out the other ear. Seems like the time has been changing lately,and the new generation finally has a lot of answers to these taunts. YESSS! Gaming can earn, and to be honest more than just bread! In the last couple of years gaming has taken a serious boost,with competitive gaming market being valued at Billions of Dollars! What are the possible Careers in Gaming? We all know that our generation has never been very skeptical on making a choice on our futures. From travelling to being a chef or even gaming. This generation is breaking all the stereotypes and doing what they love. Game Journalist/Critic/Blogger- One thing that hasn’t changed since years is people reading the latest word about things they like. We all follow different blogs and organizations related to gaming where we read about the latest announcements and new things about the community. Then,why not become a part of it? A journalist gets to attend different gaming conferences all over the world,gets their hands on the latest gadgets and obviously the latest gaming titles. Who wouldn’t love this job,right? Well, to be honest, this is not how it really is. A person has to work really hard to be a journalist. You have to keep your eyes open all the time for all kinds of news,from the smallest game updates to the biggest gaming events like E3 ( Electronic Entertainment Expo) This is really a good choice for the future,as it even lets us be open to different areas of journalism. One can be involved in different fields such as Movie Industry,Electronics,Cars etc. Game Tester- Game tester has to be on the list of the most fun jobs in the entire world. They get to play all the latest games,and this is not limited just to the latest games,but they also get a chance to test anything new in the market of Gaming. From new peripherals to weird gadgets,they enjoy everything. Just imagine, getting your hands on the games and gadgets which the world has not even seen till now. You will be among the firsts on the planet to see the products. Again, one has to work hard to play harder. A tester should have abundant knowledge of everything related to gaming, a tester has to produce a detailed report on if the game is delivering upto the mark or not. He/She has to let the developers know if there are any bugs that have been interfering with the fun of the GAMERZ. Also, any glitches in the game have to be mentioned which can be used by Nuisance creating unsocial elements in the games for unfair means to win the game. Streamer- With the rise of the internet, it has opened hundreds of new career options for our generation and for the coming one. One of the most popular career options becoming an online streamer. The World Wide Web has multiple popular options for game streaming, YouTube and Twitch being the most popular of them all. The video streaming market has been one of the fastest growing markets in the current world valued to be more than a HUMONGOUS $20 Billions. Yes, you heard it right!! With professional streamers like Shroud from C9 Gaming and Ninja minting millions through ad revenue and other sources,Indian streamers like Carry Minati (Who’s dedicated gaming Channel is- CarryIsLive) and Soul-Mortal (The Indian PUBGM God) and many others leaving their mark on Game Streaming and encouraging literally hundreds of other dreamers to make it big just like them. Commentator- Most of us have been shut up by our parents saying “Kitna bolta he,Chup Hoja ab (Why do you talk so much,shut up for a while). Now it's time to use useless habit to make money. You may not know commentators make a really good amount of money.They also get to travel to the locations of the events. Being a commentator requires you to be fluent in the language your audience likes, also you need to be handy with key facts of the game and other statistics related to the game and the players.We have grown up listening to commentary for our favorite sports,all of us know how important it is in making a game more interesting and how it is actually a part of the game. This aspect is what makes it a viable working idea in the industry which can keep you close to the love of your life-GAMING and also make you money on the other side. Competitive Gaming- All of us know what competitive gaming,but for the few ones who don’t (What are you doing here brother? Okay,let us help you out, read our weekly blogs and you’ll belong with us) Competitive gaming is just like any other part of our lives (The truth has been spoken), number of players play against each other and try to win the game. Competitive gaming is mostly played among professional players in professional gaming leagues. Where players try to win the title which is the key to a handsome cash prize. Don’t make the mistake of thinking this cash prize as your local tournament prize. These prizes are enough for you to buy a legit SPORTS CAR, yes I am talking about all the Audis and BMWs you have always fancied driving. In the recent Fortnite World Championship, a teen gamer with the name Kyle Giersdorf won a winning amount of 3 Million USD, yes 20 Crore Rupees. As usual,big bucks do not come easy, competitive gaming as the name suggests is extremely competitive and hard to win. Imagine playing against the best players around the world. This is the level where gaming doesn’t remain to your level of gaming. One has to make strategies against their opponents, spend hours in training yourselves and making yourself better than before. If you want to see what it its like- Just check out a few videos with players like Shroud and the likes of Kenny Schrub (Hail the AWP King) GamerzByte hopes that you get what you have always dreamed of. GamerzByte also brings you opportunities like this every week.

The Gaming PC we all need and can afford- What is a Gaming PC- Gaming PC is basically just like any other Personal Computer we have had since a long time. It does all the normal work that include surfing the web, listening to music,watching movies,working with Office related applications like MS Word,MS Excel etc. The main difference between any Tom,Dick and Harry PC and a gaming PC is that a Gaming Rig is made with the main purpose of playing the latest games,which in this era require high quality of graphical processing and fast responses, which makes a gaming PC have a requirement of good hardware. Is it possible to build a Gaming PC yourself? A lot of us with a very little knowledge about the technical side of the computer world think that it is a very complicated task to assemble a gaming pc all by yourselves,but what we all forget is that this generation is the generation which has YouTube, bro people can learn what not on this huge platform. There is YouTube and other platforms where one can get complete knowledge of building a powerful and efficient rig all by yourselves at home with not much things required other than your efforts and passion to build yourselves a PC that you can run all the games you’ve always wanted to. It will also be easier to upgrade your old school CPU instead of building an entire new gaming rig if you’re unsure that you can create an entire new one. Also it helps in reducing the cost as you won’t require a new PC case. Main Components- There are a number of hardware required to run a powerful rig, just like we require a Heart,mind,blood to run our bodies. Processor- We all know that Processor plays one of the most important roles in running a system smoothly. It is the one that manages most of the tasks in a Computer. Most of the people with lesser technical knowledge on this subject think that the latest graphically demanding games require the latest processors in the market,which is a myth. Processors do not actually handle all the pressure for the processing on themselves in a gaming machine. Also the generation of the processor matters,because what we are looking for here is Value for Money.For example- i5 Coffee Lake processor (i5-8400) is better than a i7 Kaby Lake processor (i7-7700k). Our Choice- Intel i5-8400 Tech Specs- Cores- 6, Base Clock- 2.8GHz, No Overclocking ( We won’t be requiring it),Cache- 9MB PRICE- INR 17,000 Motherboard- Motherboard as we all know is the centre and acts as spinal cord to the computer. It is the part which makes the communication between the different components of the computer possible. It also allocates the power to the different system parts,and this is why choosing an efficient motherboard is necessary for a powerful machine. Our Choice- MSI Gaming Intel B250 Tech Specs- DDR4-2400 Memory Support,Number of USB Ports- 6,Number of HDMI Ports- 2,Number of RAM Ports- 4,Intel Optane Memory & VR Ready PRICE- INR 10,000 (Gaming Mouse Free) Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) One thing all of us know here is, that a Graphic Card is the heart of any Gaming Rig,and is the most significant part of the machine. All of the games are heavily dependant on this hardware. A Graphic card is also often referred as a Video Card. This is because this card is the part which is responsible for delivering the graphical images/videos to the system. A GPU receives its instructions from the CPU which is the Central Processing Unit and then processes the request. This is an important component as Gaming mainly depends upon how good the graphics are looking and how fast is the new frame loading and being shown on the screen. Our Choice- ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Tech Specs- Clock Speed- 14,000 MHz,Boost Clock- 1771 MHz,Memory Size- 6GB,Interface-6 Pin PCI Express 3.0 x16,VR Ready Price- INR 14,000 RAM- RAM is the area that stores needed variables and content. Once you launch a game on your gaming PC, the RAM is an active participant because the game is loaded into it. RAM is used instead of the hard drive directly because it's faster and intended to store temporary items. A Random Access Memory Disk or commonly known as RAM,is an important piece of hardware which stores all the content that is being in the need by the games continuously. RAMs are used because they are a faster alternative than HDD (Hard Disk Drives) or even a SSD(Solid State Drives). The DDR4 RAMs gives us the most efficient types of RAM sticks as it provides the performance as well as the pocket-friendly costs hand in hand. Our Choice- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB Tech Specs- Memory Type-DDR4 SDRAM, Size- 16GB (2Sticks x 8 GB),Processor- 8 Price- INR 9,000 Storage- People usually do not give storage enough significance and do not make it a priority, but forget that all of the data that will be utilized will be used from the storage disk only. Cheaper storages give out poor performance by delivering low data transfer rates. There are two main types of Storage devices in the market currently, traditional HDDs and the new era SSDs. HDDs while being the more cost efficient option between the both,but because Hard Disks contain a moving element to read the magnetic disk to provide the data is slower than SSDs which do not have any moving parts are expensive.Hence, a combination of HDDs and SSDs are often used,where SSDs are used as the boot drive to provide quicker speeds in booting of the computer and also players tend to run their more demanding games on these drives while keeping HDDs for less demanding games and other things to store. Our Choice- Samsung 860 EVO 500GB Tech Specs- Size-500GB, Read Speed- 500+MBPS, Type- SATA III Price- INR 5,500 In the world of gaming, each one of us have their own choices, some prefer a better FPS with a lower Graphical Quality and some of us have an opposite preference, this is what makes choosing the perfect components extremely hard for us,but we have tried to mention the best of both worlds, performance as well as the budget. You may or may not agree with us on more than one thing here,and we welcome all of yours thoughts. It will be great if you drop in your ideas too. We hope to have inspired you to create your own Gaming Rig and enjoy all those games that you have always wanted to play and stream it with your friends.

Grand Theft Auto -The most popular gaming series ever - What is the series/genre? This game which has been in the world of gaming since before most of us were born,released in the year 1997. Grand Theft Auto was firstly developed for MS-DOS and Windows and later on released for playstation. GTA is an Open World Action-Adventure game where the main characters mostly work for different crime syndicates with multiple missions and scenarios, the main aim of the player is to earn money and enlarge their territory in the game. Just as all our blogs have an interesting story behind the main topic, How can the biggest game our generation not have one. GTA is actually born because of a mistake. The original developers were testing a game called Race ‘N’ Chase. The game had a bug where the cop cars would not stop you (Robbers) instead would push your car down the road and run you off your path. The developers found it to be extreme fun and hence planned to create a different game with the similar concept,which was first released in 1997,with the name “Grand Theft Auto” What makes Grand Theft Auto so popular- Watching down the game with more than 200 million sold copies, 22 years. GAMERZ have given it huge amounts of love. Especially, GTA V which is the latest game in the franchise,launched in the year 2013 accounted for ,more than 50% of the entire franchise’s sale which is more than 110 million copies. Let us tell you the reason behind GTA’s sky rocketing success and why the franchise has been the holder of high ratings since its early days- The Format-Open World with an Intriguing Story Line- Someone who has even the fraction of knowledge about gaming, won’t disagree with the fact that Grand Theft Auto is the grandfather of Open World Games. Rockstar games,the developers have always provided GAMERZ with a game where they can do whatever they want to. Drive dope-ass Sports Cars, do a 360 on a Motorbike,Plan a robbery, perform a drive-by, enter a rival gang area and shoot and spill blood, destroy a building using a Remote Controlled Helicopter( Ever GTA Vice-City knows what we are talking about,we remember how hard a mission it was, we sympathize with you mates) Apart from the open world, the franchise always had a captivating story line attached to the game,where players felt they are the main character. Be it Tommy Vercetti (GTA VC),Carl Johnson AKA CJ (GTA San Andreas) , the crazy old guy Trevor Philips or the rich millionaire with an eye-popping mansion Michael De Santa, we did not just press buttons and played, we enjoyed and felt their stories. Fun Fact- The entire series involved only two, child characters. Yes only two of them in 11 games. Huge Maps and Enthralling Graphics The Take Two Interactive developed game, gives its players humongously large maps to roam and explore. Not only these giant maps are big, but the designers made it sure to make all the bits and pieces of the gaming franchise interesting and eye-popping details.GTA V ,which boasts the largest map out of all the games in the franchise has a map spreading upto around 130 Square Kilometers. A map this vast is not easy to design and create,but the creators left no stone unturned to construct this masterpiece. Across the entire series,the maps have been seen to display different geographical locations. The graphics of the games are candy to the eye. With every addition to the most popular series in the gaming industry, Take Two Interactive have always been setting a milestone. If a person is playing the Billion Dollar game- GTA V for the first time,they are bound to be struck with the real-life-like graphics of the game. Not only did the designers focus on the graphics but they made sure that the Mechanics and dynamics of the game remain as close to real life as they could be made. You can notice how a drunk Trevor falls on the road driving a bike or how an airplane crashes. The graphics are too much to handle! Img Src=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Wmn8s5YrTEA/maxresdefault.jpg Of Course- The Gun Blazing,Grenade Blasting Violence- People of our generation loves violence, the sound of big guns firing hundreds of rounds per minute( BRRRRRRRRRR!!), grenades and molotovs being popped on the road, shooting tires of the cop cars, or blasting the entire car with an RPG over their favorite player’s shoulders (KABOOM!) Each one of us has had our days,when we were in a confused state of mind,so started the game and ended up killing innocents (Okay,sorry we know it sounds too inhumane) innocents in the game and irritating the hell out of some cops,only if they were alive for more than a few minutes. GTA has always helped us in discharging our frustration on the game and getting back peaceful out of the game in the real-life. Highest grossing game of the series- GTA V, which is the 11th addition to the Take Two Int. developed game, is by far the most sold game. With more than 110 million sold copies.The game broke 7 world records within the first few weeks of its release in 2013. It not only became the fastest game to gross a Billion Dollar mark in the industry, but also was the fastest in the Entertainment industries which includes the biggest players such as Movies and Music. Grand Theft Auto:Online was released two weeks later than the original title’s launch. This was basically a multiplayer version for the same game, where multiple players with different aliases could group together and organize different scenarios and events. Even after 6 years of its launch,Rockstar continuously adds new events and content for its players. GTA V has till date grossed more than $6 Billion in revenue. Top 5 games in the franchise;Ranked- The following list is strictly according to our views, but it would not be very hard even for you to agree with us on it- 5. GTA-IV The game is set in the area of Liberty City, which comprises of three main islands.We all agree with the actions of Niko Bellic, the protagonist in the 2008 launched game. He was a War Veteran who tries to defy and escape his terrible past, his horrific actions were forced because of all the Gangs that are behind him also he was drowning under big amounts of loans. 4. GTA-III The game was first published in the year 2001. It was set in the same city as its succesor, Liberty City.This was the first game in the series to transform the entire Open World of the game to a 3D world. The game gained instant popularity upon its launch, and was loved by the gaming community because of its different gameplay, story and its graphics.The story revolves around Claude,who fails in robbing a bank and gets arrested for it. Claude escapes the punishment and the plot continues with its own twist and turns. 3. GTA- Vice City By far one of the most loved games,not only in this Rockstar series, but overall in the gaming world. Tommy Vercetti of Vice City is the game’s main character. The game has multiple real-life like people and concepts such as Biker Gangs,Drug Lords and Criminal masterminds. The game consisted of two main islands,the second of which was unlocked in the later part of the game. There are several mods being played till date with new cars,characters and guns. 2. GTA- V This game was one of its kinds and the gaming fraternity loved it. The game was lead by not one,not two but three different protagonists named Trevor; a hard ass drunk guy, Michael; a rich businessman and Frank; a guy who wants to make it big. Gamerz have to switch from one to another from time to time to complete their individual as well as team events. The game raised the bar of graphics in the gaming industry, and hence boasts eye catching details of the entire area surrounded in the fictional city. 1. GTA: San Andreas- The game which changed the life of as GAMERZ, launched around the same time when most of us started spending our entire days and nights. Released for Windows in 2004,it was the 7th title in the Grand Theft Auto series.The game which bragged the largest of the maps of its time, more than 30 square kilometers until the release of the latest, GTA V. The map is based on Desert like geographical location. The protagonist, CJ or Carl Johnshon is ex-gang member whose Gang is now dead tries to re-organize his gang again. The game is reviewed as one of the greatest games ever made till date. The most demanded was not a big feature, but funnily was to give the player the ability to swim (LOL, Tommy who was the lead in the previous game could fly helicopters was unable to swim) GamerzByte India is an eSports Entertainment Co., dealing in managing and organizing electronic gaming events, contests and/or tournaments across India.

Meaning of Battle Royal(e)- Battle Royale is one of the most common terms in gaming community these days. Even people with no relation to gaming whatsoever have started understanding this term pretty well, but this term has not just emerged in the past few years. It has been in use since medieval times. Battle Royale simply means what you have understood by the games in the recent times. It is a combat among a large number of fighters with equal opportunities,where they fight against each other,until in the end only one combatant is standing alive,who becomes the WINNER. History of Battle Royale Gaming- Even before the gaming genre developed, a similar concept has been in use since the year 1988, when the first ever WWE ROYAL RUMBLE event was produced. Though there were multiple events in this game. Royal Rumble which was broadcasted on the USA network,crossed all landmarks of popularity back in the day, in such a way that since 1988 there has been no year in which the event hasn’t been organized Though PUBG gave the genre “Battle Royale” a huge kickstart, it wasn’t the first game to have this wildly popular mode in it, but interestingly the game that first birthed the genre and PUBG have an extremely strange connection. Let’s get into this loot box of information. Evolution of Battle Royale H1Z1- The original game H1Z1 gained its popularity because of it’s gameplay and the concept, but the success of the game skyrocketed when, “Brendan PlayerUnknown Grenne” developed a battle royale mod for the game and naming it “King of the Hill”.Yes, you read the name correct, “PlayerUnknown”. This was the time when the genre started gaining eyes from the gaming community,which not only included players but also the humongous developer “Sony”,who invited the father of the genre to develop a dedicated Battle Royale game. Though he didn’t work with Sony for very long. 2. PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds- This is where the connection between H1Z1’s battle royale mod King of the Hill and PUBG gets clearer. After leaving Sony, Brendan PlayerUnknown Grenne,was invited by the South Korean gaming giant ,Krafton to develop his own game. PUBG which was developed under Bluehole is a subsidiary of Krafton.Bluehole not only devloped the vision of Brendan, they also gave the game his name, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” . The game was finally released in the year 2017, and became the Steam Game of the Year,2018. 3. Fortnite- With PUBG’s start in conquering the gaming world,Fortnite:Save the World, which was developed by Epic Games, also made the entry to the Soon-Going-to-explode Battle Royale industry with its own Fortnite:Battle Royale. While PUBG had to be bought, Epic Games made Fortnite:Battle Royale a free to download game.The american game developers focused on making their game as bug free as they could. Soon, as expected this game too catapulted itself among gamers around the world,with getting itself mentioned in the video with the most dislikes in the history of YouTube- YouTube Rewind- 2018 and the Marvel Saga Avengers: Endgame 3. Blast of Battle Royale Games- After PUBG and Fortnite became the epitome of fame and gains, there were back to back releases of new battle royale games in the market. Apex Legends,Garena Free Fire,Storm etc, as well as older games started adding Battle Royale as a new mode. Counter Strike : Global Offensive is one of the most popular games with a similar addition known as Danger zone and COD: Black Ops 4. Course of Action- Spawning/Dropping- A large number of players ,usually a 100 player get into the game in the form of Solo,Duo or pairing up as a Squad of four.Different games have different process of getting into the game. Most games such as PUBG,Fortnite and COD: Black Ops IV give the players a chance to drop and parachute to their desired locations from a plane of which the flight path is randomly decided by the game. 2. Looting/Acquiring Weapons- After getting to a location,players have to rush to houses and other locations to acquire weapons, helmets,protective vests and other items such as consumables like Energy Drinks and First-aids There are a wide variety of weapons available in the games with different categories like SMGs,Pistols and most importantly AR Guns and Sniper Rifles. Players also get a chance to collect attachments to these guns,which include Suppressors, Flash Hiders,Scopes etc. 3. Special Loot- Players hunt for special loot packages or drops as the gameplay proceeds. These packages contain OP or Overpowered weapons or other special items which are highly valuable in the games. These packages appear in different manners,but air drops are most popular in recent Battle Royale games. 4. End Zones- As the game progresses, the playzone for the players starts to contract throughout the map,forcing players in different areas to come closer. The play zone can start moving to any part of the map according to the games’ algorithm. If the players don’t get into the PlayZone, they start losing their health points leading to a Game Over,hence closing all the players into a smaller area as the game proceeds. 5. The Win- As the zone gets smaller and smaller,the number of living contestants start reducing,and in the end, as all the contestants kill each other,only the last surviving player or players(If it is a team game) . In the end, we can easily conclude that Battle Royales have been on the top of Gaming Industry and Community in the past two years,and we can see how it is even evolving further in itself. We have enough reasons to believe that Battle Royale has a tremendous market in the coming years.Till then lets enjoy our knocks,kills and most importantly our revivals.

Traditionally gaming consoles allows specifically to play games ,but with the evolution, consoles have started providing innovative features with gaming, the industry has skyrocketed generating billions of dollars in revenue across years of sales. The biggest players in the industry are Sony’s PlayStation, Microsoft’s XBox and Nintendo. Birth of Gaming- The history related to Gaming can be seen as far back as the 1950s, when simple video games were developed for personal entertainment purposes only. This was the time when the gaming industry was kept inside a small building with people having no idea about “it’s potential in the coming future. The first ever game, for most of us would be the great “PONG”, but unheard of the story of “Tennis for Two” , which was the brainchild of a Physicist, and made just to make a Science Conference a little interesting for it’s visitors to know that Science has a relevance with the population. William Higinbotham, the physicist behind the game, made the working game within a couple of weeks. He was the in-charge of Brookhaven National Laboratory’s instrumentation subsidiary, and headed the it’s exhibition and hence wanted to give it an interesting approach to it’s thousands of visitors. Therefore reaching the idea of developing a simple game to keep the visitors interacted with the science exposition. This lead to the making of “Tennis for Two”, this game was extremely simple ,and as the name suggests based on Tennis. The game had to be played with two players, there were only two components, a knob and a button.Players could turn the knob to adjust the angle and press the button to hit the ball. The game was very uncomplicated and the players could get out only if they failed to hit the button at the correct time. The Original Tennis for Two Graphics The Game- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PG2mdU_i8k Establishing of the Gaming Industry- When it comes to gaming,everything is interesting, and so is the story behind the creation of the first ever commercial game- PONG. In the early 1970s, the Atari Company gave their employee a task to create a game based on Table Tennis. Pong was planned to be a very simple game with only a joystick type of controller which would control the pads on which the ball would bounce. Allan Alcorn developed the “Pong”, and Atari Co. finally released it in the year 1972.Pong became a success. Though the Magnavox Odyssey sued them over copyright infringement. It didn’t stop Atari from making Pong bigger and better than ever before. Pong’s success led them to release Pong’s Home version. Which became even a bigger success. Pong hence became the first ever commercially successful game in history. The Original Pong Arcade Game The commercial success of the Atari produced Video game, helped many others to try their hand in this industry which is now currently estimated to be worth more than $200 Billion. Development of Gaming Consoles- Brown Box “The minute we played ping-pong, we knew we had a product. Before that we weren’t too sure.” This line was said by- Ralph Baer. The founder of the first ever Gaming Console or Gaming Box as said back in the day. The brown box could be made to be played with a number of different games by switching multiple switches. The Console which was named “Game Unit #7” as it was the seventh prototype developed by the team, was patented in the year 1967, and was called the Brown Box because of the looks of the box, which was made of Brown wood. Game Unit#7 AKA The Brown Box 2. Magnavox Odyssey Magnavox Odyssey was the first ever commercial home based video console. With brown box gaining popularity through word of mouth publicity, the concept,design and the license was brought by Magnavox. Magnavox in the future realeased a series of Gaming Consoles. The Magnavox Odyssey didn’t have any sound for the games and only presented visual graphics on the screen.The box was made of three individual boxes, White, Black and a brown box,each having their particular task. This console had a total of 28 individual video games in it. This console earned more than $100 Million over the span of 25+ years, of which the major portion was earned through a number of lawsuits. Magnavox Odyssey 3. Nintendo Game & Watch In 1979, Gunpei Yokoi gained the idea of handheld gaming while seeing a commuter trying to pass his time on a portable calculator. He then decided to make a handheld gaming console which was named the “Game & Watch” . This series became Nintendo’s success and led the company to a global phenomenon. Later Nintendo released a number of gaming consoles named as “Nintendo Famicom”. In 1989, Yokoi agained made a new console with the portability of Game&Watch and cartridge interchangeability so that players have multiple choices of games Super Nintendo or Super NES was Famicom’s successor with higher hardware capabilities was released in 1993. This lead Nintendo to even a bigger success, in 1995 Nintendo had sold more than a billion cartridges with Mario Bros been the most successful franchise. The Nintendo Game & Watch (Left) and The Nintendo Famicom (Right) 4. Sony PlayStation Sony first released the Original PlayStation in 1994. Sony Interactive Entertainment completely changed the face of console gaming industry with its launch. Though this soon to be a legendary gadget, was once a failure. The console which later became the most sold gadget in the history of gaming ever was originally a joint project between Sony and Nintendo. This console had a CD-Rom with an already existing Nintendo Famicom, but Nintendo decided to cancel its partnership as both the companies were on an argument over revenue distribution and later in time went on to partner with Philips with the same technology. This led Sony to make their very console “THE PLAYSTATION”. PlayStation released 3 more generations of their consoles, PlayStation2 which is the most sold individual console in the history- with more than 155 Million units sold, PlayStation3 and the PlayStation4 which sold a million units within its first 24 hours of launch,creating a world record in the gaming industry. Sony PlayStation 5 which is supposed to be launched in the coming years, will allegedly be offering 8K graphic support, Ray tracing which is the latest enhancement in the industry. PlayStation(1994) 5. Microsoft XBox After two Japanese Tech giants already into the marketing, and succeeding with their humongous sales numbers. An american company,which at that time was the most valuable company finally entered the Billion Dollar industry of Gaming Consoles. This american company was obviously Bill Gates lead Microsoft. The Xbox which was the 5-th generation gaming console was launched in the american market in 2001,the main rival of the console at the time were Sony PS2. The PlayStation 2 being the most sold ever console,XBox could not really beat it, but Microsoft trusted their console and launched its successor the XBox 360. Sony had their numbers with them, but Microsoft had the advantage of being Microsoft, the coverage of their PC Software, Windows. Hence, they started giving PC access in their gaming console,which became their USP. The 2001 XBox Console XBox 360 had several hardware enhancements,with the main being Kinect Motion Sensor which allowed gamers to use motion to control their movements in some games. This lead to a huge sale with making XBox 360 the most sold American console,and also got in the list of top-10 most sold gaming consoles. The XBox 360 Gaming Consoles have become a household device in the last decade.With this industry gaining even higher popularity, the market now not only features gaming but serves the fundamental principle of entertainment,by providing the consoles the power of multiple features.With the market getting more competitive with PC gaming,the consoles have started getting more interactive and cost-efficient day by day.
