Battle Royale Genre
Battle Royale concept is quite old but back then it was just a mod to popular games such. Today we have excelent games based on Battle Royale concept, where the Last Standing Man wins. Battle royal base on survival and finding loot such as armors, weapons all over the map.
As you can see above, there are plenty of games which base on Battle Royale Concept, I would like to present you the most hyped titles and share my opinion about them.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
Pros:
Very nice balanced weapons and gear, 3 maps, First in battle royale genre
Cons:
Terrible optimization, bugs everywhere. Very laggy and not
fluent at all. Instead of working on fixing the game, they realesed skins for
weapons.
Overall the game isn’t fun to play anymore , a lot of
players are leaving the game to Fortnite and newest Blackout .
Fortnite
This game, is much better than pubg but I don’t like that
you have to build constructions in order to surviver ( this game was described
in Week 9 , last semester presentation).
Fornite is directed to younger players and the older ones
may not like hearing kids voices in lobby and team all the time and the whole atmosphere
of this game is childish.
COD 4 Blackout
I think overall this game is the best right now, however you
need to pay for it 230 zł.
Fluent shooting with nice graphics and battle royale concept
is what making this game numer one for me. I am waiting to try Battlefield
Battle Royale but for now, this is the game which gives me fun.
Whole feeling of playing this gam eis very nice and you have
plenty more options to fight people than pubg for example.
I’d like to hear what do you think about this :
1 1)
Have you ever played a game from Battle Royale
genre? If so, what game did you play?
2 2) Do you know about any new game concept that could
potentially change the game market?
3 3)
Do you know any more games with battle royale
mode, that you find better than mentioned above?

I have played only for one or two hours in Fortnite, but after almost winning a game I found a continuation of playing as pointless.
2) Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
I think Virtual/Augmented Reality games are becoming more and more popular. If only headsets and all necessary stuff required to play in this type of games will become cheaper, they will probably change the market.
3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
No, I don't know any.
Laughs in Petri reborn.
Now serious, DayZ was the first standalone battle royale project, although a mod. H1Z1 came out earlier, that PUBG (pubg itself was a mod, while H1Z1 was released, although in beta. Or pre alfa, I do not remember).
Unfortunately, I cannot say much about such games for one single reason: I am unable to play shooters. I do not know, for what reason, but after years of working with PC, mouse feels foreign in my hand, I cannot aim. At all. Thus, my games are races, and strategic-based. Or action with controller input, that is my main.
However, I have read both original Battle Royale book and Susan Collins' parody. Both I did not make till the end. They both lack everything what a book should have for me.
First of all - I don't think that PUBG was the first Battle Royale game. I've been playing H1Z1 the King of the Kill before PUBG was released, so... Other than that, I spent few hours on Fornite, but I enjoyed H1Z1(early H1Z1, not that broken one) much more.
2) Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
I think, that VR/AR horror games could be awesome. Nowadays, horror games are scary as hell... For example - latest Resident Evil: Biohazard. I was terrified while playing it and that was totally awesome!
Also, I'm a big fan of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, SOMA, Outlast and Dead Space series. A possibility to play those games on VR/AR will be crazy!
3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
Yes, as I mentioned - H1Z1 the King of the kill.
I've been playing CoD in high school, and I liked it.
2) Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
No, I'm not a gamer anymore :(
3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
No - but I would love to play this mode in new GTA
I tried to play these games, but I didn't like.
2) Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
I think at this time a lot of concepts for games came up. I hope to emerge people such as Hideo Kojima , who created P.T and Death Stranding.
3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
I know that many MMO games have added Battle Royale modes such as Skyforge.
The Culling, SOS, Last Man Standing, Darwin Project, Hunt: Showdown, Realm Royale
but I don't know if they're better.
If you are fan of Call of Duty you should try new Blackops, it's suprisingly very good ( I wasn't sure if COD movement, shooting feelings etc would match battle royale). They did a pretty good job !
I can't think of any new concept of a game that could change something. I guess it would be best just to change a bit games that already exist and they would be perfect.
As I mentiond above I think that Arma 3 mode is better than games listed by you. Another game that I found interesting is battlerite royale. It's a little different because its not a fps game but it still has few things that you need to have a good aim and map awarness to win. The third game that I saw but didn't play is realm royale. It has magic stuff in it and I think it is even more childish than fortnite. I highly recommend everyone to look up Arma 3 battle royale mode. You won't regret it.
2. It is difficult to say because there are many different concepts, especially in indie games. I would like to try to connect Battle Royale, zombies, and craft elements. Yes, it can be very difficult for the player, but why not?
3. I rarely play, so I can not name such games. I can mention that even in GTA Online there is a mode very similar to Battle Royale, which I also liked.
Yes, I have ;) My First experience with Battle Royale game was PUBG. I've really enjoyed it, but not for long. My guess is that I have something like 25 hours of game in it. It was quite cool but the time when I used to play it, PUBG was really buggy game. Second and last game with battle royale mod I've played was Fortnite and I did not enjoyed it very much - I think that I played it like week or two.
2) Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
I think not, because our history has shown that totally new game styles can be great hits. LOL used to be hot game some time ago I think that it was first game that started new genre called Moba. PUBG was not first battle royale, but first one that made it mainstram.
3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
I do not :(
Yes, I played in H1Z1, Fortnite and mod Hungry game for Minecraft. Better for me is that mod.
2) Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
I don't know...
3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
Yes, as I mentioned - Mod Hungry Game for Minecraft. It's better because in Minecraft I first tried battle royal. :)
I am not very interested into latest trends in game development but in my opinion it will be hard for developers to invent new game mode which would conquer the market. There are already tons of games with different mechanics and gameplay. As far as I know, game called Titanfall was something new and quite refreshing. This is sci-fi shooter, in which players can use huge robots to fight.
I am afraid that I don’t know any more games with Battle Royal mode.
I don't know. But for sure some time will come something that will conquer the world as Fortnite of your time.
I don't know such games because I didn't play them.
It's hard to say about the new game concept that could potentially change the game market. The battle royal is a phenomenon, nothing more.
I think GTA V has got battle royal mode, but I am not 100 percent sure. I don't have enough time to be up to date with games.
Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that could change the game market.
I've only heard about pubg and fortnite
Unfortunately, I'm not up to date with this type of thing, but I know that a lot has changed the fortnite game, which is very popular and millions of people play it.
Unfortunately, I do not know any other game because these are not games for me.
I like adventure games that are going on a long time ago.
I don't hear about new game concepts but I have some concept in my mind. It would be grate if we could move Battle Royal concept from game to real life. Some kind of it was described in a 2000 Japanese thriller that called Battle Royal. Hm, such a strange coincidence, isn't it? So the idea is that 100 students land to the island with one randomly chosen weapon. The weapon could be everything: from fork or spoon to rifle. This is a very creative idea with random weapon, isn't it? And these students should fight each other until the end. The end is when only one student lefts. In my opinion this is a way to make games more educative.
I have’t heard anything more interesting than Battle Royal games, maybe because I don’t play computer games a lot.
I currently know three such games, PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS, Fortnite and Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 but in my opinion PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is the best of them.
In my opinion VR games will replace common games, genres could be same as now, but interaction with computer will change. Now many companies trying to create VR platforms (Glasses, gloves, moving platforms, guns for VR) and I hope that they will produce some brilliant device for gamers.
Rearm Royale was released in 2018. Main features of Rearm Royale: you can ride mounts, when somebody kill you, you became chicken that can run away and if you will be alive within ~30s(don't remember exactly) you will “reborn” to regular character.
I think that nowadays more and more popular become games with multiplayer in which you can compete with another player on your own and in the team. More popular become video games tournaments. So I believe that genres which allow multiplayer and team competition will be the most popular in near future.
I played pubg and fortnite
Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
At the moment I do not know what can be a trend in games. It changes very quickly and sometimes simple solutions become
the main topic
Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
It's done so much that I can not keep up with them anymore. The beginning for the battle royal was the arm and the hunger games :)
2. Unfortunately no. But if we look at the history of popular game concepts we can see that the competitive multiplayer is the key to success. So the next game concept that will change the game market will probably be something involving competitive multiplayer.
3. Do I know any more games with battle royal mode? Yes. Games that are better than mentioned above? No.
I, personally, enjoyed playing PUBG with my friends. I usually don’t spend money on games, but this one was so popular and so many of my friends have been playing it, that I was almost forced by them to buy it. As you mentioned, unfortunately, it’s not well optimized and players often face various bugs. It was understandable in the begging, when game was in beta test. But even now, when it’s officially released, PUBG still have the same problems. Regarding other modern popular Battle Royale games like Fortnite and COD 4 Blackout I can’t say to much, since I haven’t played them. And I don’t think I will. Not because I dislike them or genre, just because to play them well, you need to acquire some skill and devote some time, and I don’t think I have a lot of it.
What about second question? I don't think that battle royal mode is something what can change game market. It's only type of game. It's trendy nowadays but every game passes that the same situation will be with PUBG, Fortnite and other BR games.
I know about PUBG, Fortnite and Realm Royale but As I said, I have only played first of mentioned. I have heard that Fortnite is full of younger players and it's discouraging me.
Yes, I have. It was Fortnite, because I want to try the genre and free-to-play is everything :)
2. Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
The only thing that comes to my mind is VR.
3. Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
I'm not a big fan of BRM, so I don't know any other games.
Honestly, I’m not very interested in what’s new is coming into game market. I haven’t heard about anything that can change anything, however I believe that something will show up soon.
As I didn’t enjoy Battle Royal mode I haven’t play any other game, so unfortunately, I don’t know any other games.
I rarely play video games so I am not in touch with the industry, nothing comes to mind.
I think above mentioned games are the best, but for sure there are a lot of copycats. We will see, maybe 2019 bring us something new.
I don't know. I suspect that they it may be VR games, although I haven't played any games for a few years.
I don't know any other because I don't play games and have no interest in them.
No, i have no idea about the new game concept, which can change everything.
3 3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
Actually, no because i played only these three above in that genre lets say. COD Blackout is also one of my favourites and nothing else comes to my mind.
2. I have no idea what genre that could be.
3. I don't know any other battle royal games besides those that you mentioned. H1z1 that I talked about in my first answer is much older. Nobody plays it anymore as far as I know.
In my opinion, with the increasing popularity of VR gaming can change the face of playing. This is not so popular and developed so that everyone can have access to it because the equipment is important, but once it is widely available and at normal prices, I think that games will be mainly programmed on VR.
- I have played Players Unknown Battleground, Fortnite for only 30 minutes and Call of Duty Blackout. For me, the best one is PUBG because it was something fresh for me and unique.
2) Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
- Nothing special, I like the games which combine cards and RPG mechanics, for example, the hand of fate 2. I like the idea that you can collect cards which buff your character and then fight monsters like in hack and slash games.
3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
- No, I think that CoD, PUBG and Fortnite are the best ones. They have a huge audience, great support from the developers and the esport scene which will bring more players with every tournament.
I didn't play a game of the Battle Royale genre.
..................................................................................................................
2) Do you know about any new game concept that could potentially change the game market?
I think if you think of the games in old history and convert it into this period mechanism the game market will change.
I think it's an excellent answer.
..................................................................................................................
3) Do you know any more games with battle royale mode, that you find better than mentioned above?
Unfortunately, I don't know games like this types in general.
Any new game concepts? huh VR, AR games come to mind, there is whole unexplored field when it comes to those genres.
U cant really say any of them were strictly better, while some of them were awful as a whole non of them has been "better" than the rest of them , they all had their own spin on the genre, Fortnite has building, Chicken royale had classes ?, Arma mod focused on "realism", Cod has lootable perks in game. They all are different in being similar if u know what i mean.
I don't know any new concept of game that can change game market but I think their exist.
No, I know only 2 games that has been mentioned before in this article so other games has been new for me.
2. Sorry, but I don't have idea what type of games can be more popular that games like League of Legends or Battle Royale genre.
3. I have heard only about games which you mentioned in your article. :)
2) Unfortunately there is a lot of casual games in the moment which are too popular. For example, any mobile game.
3) Well, there are many games with battle royal mode. Like party fighting games or games about destroying enemy's cars (Burnout, Flatout).
I am not really into game industry and I don't follow any game related news so I don't know any new genres.
I have played only PUBG and Fortnite.
Yup. I played Fortnite for whole 1 hour. Made me cry. I don't really enjoy multiplayers now that have so big RNG influence like Fortnite :0 I'd prefer games with strong story and hard skill level.
2. Hmmm... I do think that battle royale as a genre of game is behind it's best moments. Now it's getting less popular, loosing people, it will die in the next 2-3 years like League of Legends died after 5 years. There will be new popular genre which will fill the gap.
3. Not really a battle royale. Don't know other games than ones mentioned by you. I consider Dark Souls 1 and 3 multiplayer mode as a challenging. Invading other people is very fun cause the difference of builds is big and the duel is in 80% situations very challenging. I recommend it to you, very fun and frustrating. If you're masochist you'd like it :)
Maybe VR could potentially change the game market? It's developing quite fast and there are some really great VR games.
I'm not a fun of BR games. I think that Fortnite and Black Ops 4 are currently on top and I can't find any other BR game which is better than these two.
