Fortnite will still have an advantage in that you don't need PS Plus to play it. In addition to the $30 entry fee, it also needs to justify $60 per year for some Fortnite players.

Fortnite irl incoming.
Fortnite irl incoming.
They do, it's H1Z1.
On Topic: It is so addicting. The amount of fun I'm getting from it is unreal. I even dipped to buy some costumes too.
I gave it a fair shake. It's really, really bad. The shooting is awful and the build-first shoot-second mechanics are counter-intuitive and unfun. I realize I may be in the minority here but in my opinion its a bad game.
don't underestimate the power of F2P
Being an approachable / streamlined, F2P game was what helped League of Legends rise to be the de facto king of MOBAs.
Imho, they should just drop the building mechanics from the BattleRoyale mode altogether, though. They're 'legacy' mechanics :P
If Fortnite, Paragon can both be in early access on PSN I'm sure Bluehole could have pulled some strings.
It's the first BR game that I was able to get into. They do such a great job updating the game with new stuff that the word of mouth on it is unreal. It's been fun watching people from all different kinds of games communities come over to Fortnite in the last couple of months.
And I find PUBag boring because you can't build. Different strokes.
Completely agree, played it on Xbox while waiting for pubg to release. I did not like the building mechanics and just want enjoying it. Glad it was free to try though.
I don't know how things are now after the Intel fix, but as someone who plays both I think Fortnite is better thanks to it actually working. PUBG has too many server and performance issues, feels insane that both are the same engine yet PUBG spends half of the match rubber-banding if you're lucky to stay alive, it does get better when there isn't that many people left.
Also the map is smaller so there's constantly something going on and the running around aimlessly is cut off, which makes it more appealing to watch too I think.
Just personal opinions though, I can see why many would prefer the more realistic take.
Given that it's a zombie game like 3 years too late, i dont expect konami to react with the swiftness to the current trend lol
I figured as much, almost all people from my friends list who used to be on Destiny all the time are now on Fortnite.
It's such a shame though because I enjoy the shooting and overall movement, but I just don't care about the gathering and building aspect of the game. Kind of reminds me of why I didn't like Starhawk with that base building and stuff, though I loved Warhawk due to how simple and straightforward it was. I just want to get in and shoot people in the face, not worry about if they're going to build a row of walls to block my shots.

Its the much better game
PuBG is just a bad shooter - Even that new Escape from Tarkov Game looks more interesting.
Fortnite actually runs good on a toaster and is Free2Play unlike PuBG
Fortnite with its wall building in combat situations is extremely challenging unlike that other game with its broken gameplay
Seeing how Fortnite is F2P and such a polished and well designed game is just insane especially if the direct competitor charges you money.
Plus Fortnite is extremely well running on consoles
Epic made a masterpiece with Fortnite
PubG is just low quality compared to it and popularity in recent weeks shows that.
Also a lot more Proplayers prefer these days Fortnite cause of how much skill it takes to build stuff quick which gets crazy on PC once a couple good people are the last ones standing at the end.
They've improved so much after the initial release that I don't even see it as the same game anymore.
Its actually intimidating.
Its actually intimidating.
what? Just today the game reached over 3.1 million ccu only on Steam without counting Xbox. Fortnite BR in 3 platforms is not even close to this number.
Same here. Tried a few games but didn't click with it. My boy is constantly playing it though and so are all of his friends.
The 1000 point pack/10$ battlepass is a good price for a game if you play it a ton.
Also Fortnite streams are far more fun to watch IMO as there aren't the long boring travel sections.
I like the PvE mode. I recommend it if you like base building.
It's good fun, definitely scratches the arcade battle royale itch but I still prefer PUBG because it can be way more intense thanks to the realistic ballistics in that game. Though I do know Fortnite is looking to change ballistics to less raycast and more bullet drop styled which will be a far better gameplay change than what is currently available.
It has no connection to actual playerbase, but Fortnite is still very much popular.
OP

one might think that number of people streaming is proportional to number of people playing.

They are fixing the shooting at least. What we've seen of it looks infinitely better than what's in the game currently, at least in my opinion.
The building does present issues though I agree. Hopefully they will make some tweaks over time that make building more about strategy and efficiency as opposed to spamming.
Yeah they handled the Battle Pass very well. Especially if you play it a lot you get a lot out of the Battle Pass for $10 especially that you can see ahead of time what you will unlock for reaching the next tiers and the Battle Pass lasts what like 90 days?
Whereas nowadays in other games full retail $60 games mind you. Spending $10 in it would get you a few lootboxes with random little crap
I meant a successful one in the same scale as PUBG. I even mentioned King of the Kill in my post.
How do you explain the game being the same if not bigger now on Xbox then? both game can co-exist and be successful without one completely destroying the other.
Yeah I feel like people aren't really grasping just how popular Fortnite is. It's a legitimately very successful game. It was before Battle Royals, but that just made it even more so
No, but it does have limited crossplay and shared progression between PC and PS4.
They are adding a new city area to the map with the target date of "early 2018".
Its the top played game on Xbox too, PUBG is sitting 6th. Its holding incredibly strong on PC with a larger viewership on Twtich than PUBG too. Both games can coexist comfortably, but i think you're discrediting Fortnite's success and quality a bit here.

Not sure what all of this "Bluehole screwed up" talk if we are talking about a game that is still not finished yet. At least in the case of Fortnite, it started off as an "early access" with the fort gameplay before moving into the Battle Royale and expanding the game further from there. Chances are that if PUBG was released under the same circumstances that it was when it got released for the X1, the game would have been torn to shreds. Also helps that even if it was first released on the PS4, there still would have been a fee to it whereas fortnite is free (but I still bought my entry fee for the early access).
The Fortnite guys basically struck at just the right time and ensured that the "Battle Royale" games weren't going to be a monopoly.

I've been hooked on it since the summer. It's come a long way and seems to get better every week with all the patches they do. Only complaints from me was the stuttering issue on PC but they seemed to fix that problem with the last few patches.
