retroed Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Enjoying this a lot and probably going to upgrade to a higher editon, so will have at least one copy of the standard digital edition available. Anyone interested at £25? Saving £8 off PSN price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some of this on Giant Bomb and it's really doing a good impression of PUBG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Had the Battlefield Royale mode available to play for a few days now, but the little time I have had to play has been put into other things. Need to give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Something I might have misunderstood about this, and I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong. It's going free to play correct, the whole thing eventually? If so, them selling a physical version before the game was finished is even worse and I'm glad it bombed Although I do think this will get a lot of people playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambob Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Yeah it was a weird move to do that, and a shame because it looks like a good idea for a game and seems to be relatively well implemented too, but it looks like its been a recipe for disaster. I feel like at this point you would just play PUBG if you wanted a battle royale experience, although obviously one is free and the other isnt.

retroed Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Microsoft are surely gonna be a bit pissed that Fortnite's battle royale mode is a thing when PUBG is going to be a console exclusive for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I dont think you can really claim ownership of something like a battle royale mode to be honest. The battle royale format has been around for a long time in things like Arma mod and Dayz, im surprised its taken this length of time to make it onto console. I suspect that Fortnite will be hoping that it can give the game a shot in the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Has it always been 100 players falling out of the sky? I've not really paid attention to games of its sort before PUBG. Either way, it's not been done on consoles until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think usually you just spawn on an island in a random location. There's a particular example that involved crafting too but I can't remember the name of it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Or when you've cribbed ideas from other games, taken the concept from a film, used said film as inspiration for dlc, and had members of staff sent to prison for intellectual copyright theft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFour Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Didn't they also go back on their word over microstransactions? I've no interest in this so I don't follow it but I'm sure I recall it getting flack for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Battle Royale mode is out and free for everyone now. It's a lot of fun. Spending a lot of time spectating after dying (out of choice, you don't have to) and it's interesting seeing other people's strategies. If anyone tries it and is interested in the also good PvE mode and wants to play it before next year with some extra goodies, I still have a PS4 code available for cheap.
