I still don't understand what this is

This is hilarious. The Fortnite base game is abysmal, so they decide to copy another genre, and pay for it to be a top game on twitch? Shameless.

I actually feel bad for anyone who will pay to play this garbage. Who knows, it might be a racing game next week.

The BR mode is fun, who gives a shit? If it's a racing game next week but the racing game is fun then again, who gives a shit?

How's the playerbase for this game on pc or ps4? I'm not interested in the main game mode however the battleroyale stuff sounds good. AND if I only care about the BR mode, would it be worth buying the deluxe version or just the standard one?

Finding BR games instantly on PS4. Get the cheapest version since all the additional stuff only makes a difference for the PvE mode.

 

[Sness]

Umm, base game is not abysmal. I have hundreds of hours in that mode already.

Differing opinions. One of the worst games I've ever had the displeasure of "playing".

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

I see why people are mad but I love things like this. They are building on the foundation that PubG and H1Z1 has set with their own specific mechanics and features. I want this to keep growing and for the PubG inspired games to keep trickling in. I want developers to see how they can improve the genre. That's how you eventually get something more amazing. Eventually it will reach the JP market and JP developers and then we'll really get to see some cool twists on battleground gameplay. Look at what the Souls games brought when others tackled it and look at what the Minecraft(builder) genre brought about too. This is a good thing. I'm still optimistic that since we saw a Dragon Quest Builders we could eventually see a Dragon Quest Battlegrounds.

How's the performance on PC compared to PUBG?

 

[Duchess O'Death]

Played few games. It's great! Super fun and easy to pick up and play! I like the cartoonish tone take on the genre. The shooting could use some improvements though.

This is a great start! Looking forward to hearing from them again regarding improvements and squads.

Why theres always a sad guy who says eh i will wait until f2p.

can you like let people enjoy a thing without your sad, unwanted take.

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

I tried it, it's definitely solid but I'm afraid that PC gamers are hugely advantaged by kbm over gamepad... I hope they will make separate servers

I mean, if money is tight and you don't have a burning need to buy it right now, it's solid advice isn't it? Especially if you weren't aware it was going to be F2P?

I don't think PS4 and PC players are being put into the same servers.

 

[FullMetaltech]

I still don't understand what this is

You mean the mode or in general? Its a Battle Royale mode not much else but to survive and be the last alive.

 

[Archpath1]

It's ok ,I like it, and it can be improved

The ability to build your own fucboi shacks is great

Then have a rocket fly right into is cool

Can't wait to see more updates to it

 

[Duchess O'Death]

100 players. 1 map. Murder. Last player alive wins.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Is this live on Xbone?

One thing is being informative and another being just a party pooper.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Being Battle Royale isn't the only reason PUBG is so successful, the gunplay and quick in and out is what sets it apart from PlayerUnknown's previous titles. If this has nowhere near that fidelity and still the arcade-y style shooting then no thank you.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Think of it like everyone is just a normal person, dropped into a post apocalyptic island with only the clothes on your back, and you have to battle to be the lone survivor. You might find sniper stuff, you might find an RPG, you might find nothing and have to out smart people and clobber them with a shovel.

Thats BR. Its Dayz, or Rust / etc compressed into 10 minutes, really fun mode (I play PUBG, haven't tried this yet, but watching streams it really does look good)

I meant that literally. There are classes in PvE that have different abilities. It appears that all of the players that I've seen have the Soldier abilities.

 

[bryanee]

It looks far more appealing to me than PUBG. I might get it.

 

[SmokinGunZ1981]

Doesn't appear to be any abilities in this mode.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Oh ok. The models all move around like Soldiers, so I guess that's why I thought that. We do at least get the precision mining upgrade, so that helps.

Theres either stamina or crafting, I dont get your point

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

Why not ? In PVE they are. I hope they are not, searching for info but I can't find nothing

 

[Ploid 3.0]

How's the performance on PC compared to PUBG?

The streamer (Lirik or tat Dr guy, I forgot which) said it ran much better. Also it's epic, they use their own engine. I haven't played Fortnite but Paragon runs like butter, also you can make the game run on a toaster with how far down the settings can go.

 

[Surface of Me]

I despise Fortnite, so I hope this doesn't take off for them. It rips off other games in the worst kind of ways.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

Whats the population like on pc?

Cool how do I build in pubg?


Nothing is ever really original nowadays, if it's fun play it, if not move on then plenty of games

 

[jond76]

Is this live on Xbone?

Yes. At least the option to choose the mode is live. Got pulled away before I could start.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Is this live on Xbone?

It is. Just played

I don't get post like this. You want it to fail because you don't like it and copies other games?

 

[uncleniccius]

Is this already free? It appeared as free for me on eu psn.. I thought it was founders only for now?

 

[luulubuu]

[Slayven]

I might pick this up next month with the PSN 100 for 15 deal.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Watched the gameplay video and it's so a ripoff, damn.

Well, any battle royale mode is going to have a lot of similarities to every other battle royale game/mod that has come before.

 

[Ghost Lynx]

Dang, this looks pretty good. Much more appealing looking than PUBG to me, and I like the environment destruction, building, and traps.

I may get Fortnite to play this...

 

[Surface of Me]

"I wish success only to the games that match my personal taste"

Nah, I dont like plenty of games and dont care if they live or die. Fortnite seems shameless in the fact it was built by suits looking at popular trends and cramming it into a money maker.

 

[YoshiMax]

Differing opinions. One of the worst games I've ever had the displeasure of "playing".

Madness. Have you tried playing with friends?

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

"Man i just hate *insert every FPS name*, such a rip-off from the original Doom."

I mean, PUBG didn't invent a concept to begin with, a new genre was born out of his popularity and it's great. Just like CS/TF gave light to a lot of team-based FPS who took so much from them. Nobody is calling Overwatch a rip off of Team Fortress.

 

[SpiceMelange]

MMO fad > MOBA fad > Card games fad > Hero shooter fad > Battle Royale now I guess?

I hope Fortnite sells another million copies just for this comment alone

Yep, going to be some winners and a lot of losers yet again.

Making video game is about pleasing people and making money, nothing shameless about it as long that it's good. Would you prefer if they would suit look at unpopular trends ?
I mean PUBG did exactly the same thing.

I'm streaming gameplay if anyone is curious.

 

[edgefusion]

I really regret buying Fortnite. Nothing about the game makes any sense to me any more and it doesn't seem like the developers have a clue what they're doing with it either. It's rife with utterly baffling design choices and they're spending their time making these random extra modes instead of working on and improving the actual game? I bought the game for base-building and horde-mode stuff, not battleground style whatever this is meant to be.

 

[MisterR]

Difference is that Player Unknown was only ripping off himself, as the father of many of those mods, I thought?

Who gives a shit? There are going to be a lot of these games and modes coming. As long as their fun, some may even improve on PUBG.

In 2012 Guild Wars 2 had a Hunger Games event, which came back in a better made Southsun Survival event. I took part in the Southsun Survival event and loved the heck out of it. I wished they'd develop it more for a year round mode, but it wasn't. Fun though. The Total Biscuit hunger games event looks weird with large teams against many other teams of people.
