Fortnite has Taken PSN by Storm
- Thread starter v_iHuGi
- Start date
Right, Fortnite is also #1 on Xbox one, PUBG is sitting 5-6th depending on which territory.
Yes, we had an entire conversation about the viewership differences between the two platforms and discussed that one imagine didn't paint the entire picture, but merely illustrated that Fortnite has had a fantastic success.

i like both games, but if i had to choose one. Fortnite because it's far more polished, has faster updates and fixes and new stuff, and i prefer the faster pacing with all the action since PUBG maps are so big and more campy and getting in and out of games is very quick.
Deserved, fantastic support from EPIC and it's pretty much all that my friends seem to play nowadays, instead of CoD, FIFA or Destiny, so must be doing something right to pull them away from those, when plenty of games have failed.
Personally kinda got bored with it after playing it a lot. Will probably jump back in when they add more to the map.

Yeah. That's huge. Would be interesting to know how many players are those that don't have plus
Crazy to think they spent what, 6 years developing the main PvE game? And it's a complete non entity compared to Battle Royale player-base wise.
Though that probably has to do in part with PvE not being free to play yet.

Most Ps4 owners actually don't own Plus, only ~30M have it.
You can have one account with Plus and share with friends though.
Agreed. Already stopped playing awhile before PUBG hit Xbone, will never touch it again. I bought the paid version of Fortnite day one.
Same complaints you have. Shooting is garbage, building sucks. Imho anyway. Especially the shooting, yuck.
Probably change once the game is out of early access, but of course I could be totally wrong. I guess never underestimate the power of free.
I've been patiently waiting on the PvE mode, I almost bought into it but I wasn't even sure if I'd like it, especially due to complaints people had with some of it's design decisions (maybe a micro transaction complaint that must have effected gameplay. I'll look it up. Edit: Darn, old site is down).
Great game. I prefer it to PUBG,just have more fun playing it, both are great though.
The BR genre is just so much more compelling than the old TDM shooter model. Every game is like a little movie starring you.
Regarding fortnite, after playing BR Im now actually excited for the PvE. I think BR is going to be PvEs greatest marketing tool.

Epic striking while the iron was hot and had no competition on consoles was the smartest thing they ever done. Especially when it is free to play. I bet by the end of things. The BR side will eclipse any amount of money the coop side gets ten-fold
Does anyone play the original horde mode, or has the battlegrounds mode become the default mode?
You posted "Top Add-ons" which only shows the microtransaction stuff. And everything but Fortnite shown are paid games. (COD, Madden, Rainbow Six Siege)
for some reason gta and fifa mtxs are not shown. F2P is the future folks

Hyperbole most likely loool
But I understand what he's implying once pubg arrives on Ps4, Fortnite scene will be too big already which will make pubg less attractive, plus it's paid.
Exactly. PUBG will do well once it comes to PS4 but Fortnite getting in the door first on PS4 means a lot of people will get invested in Fortnite first. I'd expect a softer reception on PS4 by the time it gets there.
Battle Royale is the attraction but yes there still is a crowd for regular Fortnite. The main game is actually pretty fun on its own merits and more directly leans on getting intimate with the building mechanics.
I am one of them, stopped paying for Plus over a year ago, Fortnite has been tremendous fun.
Have they actually showed any preview footage of the new ballistic changes? If they can change the gunplay to replicate Arma/PUBG I'll be back in, because right now I'm just not a fan of how guns have this almost laser tag like feel to them. Makes the shooting feel less skillful and more about just being the person that spots first and has the hair trigger reaction rather than planning on leading and bullet control.
Nope, and I doubt they will honestly. Best we can hope for is probably some changes to the building mechanic itself, hopefully some delays or cooldowns on building walls.
More shocking to me is Destiny 2 being so low on that list and on Twitch nowadays. Destiny 1 was always near the top on both. Bungie really killed their own momentum with those dumb core game changes.
Definitely great value for people like you that don't buy plus
Most of the big Destiny streamers are playing PUBG or Fortnite now. The lack of content kind of killed it for streamers.
Ya know what I never understood, why these super popular streamer games have zero appeal to me. I've been a hardcore gamer for a long time, since the 80s. I've seen what gaming trends come into play over there past few decades. When streaming really took hold, League of Legends and Dota were popping. I very much dislike Mobas though. They don't grab me whatsoever so I never put more than a hour into either of em. Now with pubg and fortnite, it's the same thing. I really dislike them and find them horribly boring. I still very much enjoy other shooters though. So it's either just an odd coincidence that these games are being streamed like crazy and I just don't happen to dig em, or there's something that LoL, dota, pubg and fortnite all do that my gaming brain doesn't care for. My friends and I all play other things online. Just not these ultra popular titles.
Everything you just said, I share with you to the 'T', and know exactly what you mean.
Yet like anything in gaming, I do find interest in reading about it.

I can't say PUBG developers is losing much sleep over getting softer reception, especially considering its a paid game and probably racking in more money than Fortnite.
This game is very popular on all platforms right now. BR is a trending, including that this mode is free. If Epic adds new maps and vehicles, this game will explode even more.
They play alot they managed also the free VBucks you earn from some tiers in Battle Pass you can use it towards moving up a tier.
They give 3 months to do it lots of time, I recommend only using VBucks to go up tiers on the last days. Even if you don't reach max level 70 the amount of cosmetics and other goodies you earned from it by the end of the Battle Pass definitely more than $10 worth
And as for the separate store we just avoid them the Battle Pass content is more than enough

many game designers and publishers are kicking themselves in the nuts thinking about how simple it really was to make an new incredibly successfull franchise.
all those sleepless nights thinking about new and interesting designs and mechanics..when in the end people wanted what basically amounts to a mod to your typical tps/fps..just one little tweak...it's kind of amazing

Yeah, you can legit actually just make your money back (well V-bucks) just by playing the game after you buy your Battle Pass.
This is my take from the game too. Also 3rd person sucks in these games. PUBG really took off once the first person servers came online. Being able to camp a corner/wall without showing yourself is a trash gameplay mechanic in these types of games imo.

I have the most fun when I'm partied up. Just something to consider for newer players. It's a blast though.
When you think about it like that it is kind of sad, but vs MP is the best way to extend the life of a game. If you don't even have to make content for it yourself and allow others to do the work it can = huge success (Minecraft + mods or built worlds, VRChat seems to be picking up a lot of steam, and best of both worlds Bethesda games with their mods that fix the game and make the game a lot more unique with selectively chosen mods).
