How would you parachute in? Hot air balloon? Zepplin?

How would you parachute in? Hot air balloon? Zepplin?

Nm, I'll search in the OT.
I do feel sorry for PvE and I know it's a massive leap of expectation before evidence is shown but it's clear BR is working far better for them then the PvE content. Doesn't help how scummy that approach was but BR is the hot new thing and a lot more fun. Just sucks for those who spent heaps on packs.
Obviously the PvE side isn't dead, that won't happen for awhile but the fact they even renamed the game to BR shows their focus. I doubt they still have two teams working separately, they only mentioned that concept when BR was in development and the UT team helped them out.

Br is just more easily understandable. I could explain br to someone in a sentence.
I still have no idea what the other mode is.
I think when the other mode goes free, and they put some cross compatibility with each other, it could give pve the exposure it needs.
No parachute. Jump out of a moving train.

Oh that's definitely the case as well, BR is just that much easier of a concept, plus isn't filled with scummy microtransactions and a very defined playstyle from the start. The PvE mode is a great concept, just executed poorly compared to BR.

In the PS store the default Fornite client is the BR one now... so basically is just a new link with new icon and name to the old download with the PvP and the PvE.
This is proof that the console market is starved for this genre.
First big publisher/developer to put something out on PS4 is going to print money. This game is just "ok" for the genre so far, but is clearly getting consumed just because nothing else is available to PS4 owners.
I would love to see someone like Blizzard go after this, or even Kojima's new studio.

Free, you don't even need PS+ to play online on PS4.

Go to the Hunger Games Angle. 5 circles of 20 people. Loot in a huge pile in the center. Horses scattered around the map. No eye of the storm, hunger playing a factor to keep moving. Announced drops (this will be West World like with tech overseers) to bring people together for food, supplies, and weapons/armor/clothing (cold set in).
Like the Guild Wars 2 mode rather than air drop.

Sounds incredibly unfun considering Rockstar games have incredibly bad animation priority.

Thats what happens when you release a f2p game of the hottest subgenre right now as well as make it a more functioning product. The speed at which Epic was able to create their version, and how well it runs and plays is far beyond what Bluehole can achieve. Expect other AAA devs to follow suit in the next year or 2 with products far more polished than Battlegrounds.
The biggest kicker is this coming out on Xbox and PS4 before Battlegrounds has even hit xbox. Bluehole really needs to step up the speed at which they update their game if they want their pie to be eaten as little as possible.

I prefer animation priority but yeah wouldn't work for a BR mode.

Well, it is a free to play game that's available on three platforms. Not to mention, it's similar to a hugely successful game. I'd actually have been surprised if it didn't hit that number of players.

So, Fortnite Battle Royale will enjoy been available on a platform of more than 60 millions users while their biggest competitor will be available next year?. If Epic makes things right with their game, it's going to be fucking HUGE!.

Why do you prefer animation priority? It literally makes the playability of the game worse. :|

So could you please explain what is BR in a sentence? I read about it in a lot of thread titles here on gaf and still have no idea of what that means exactly.
(sorry, i am not much of a multiplayer kind of player so that may explain my ignorance in the subject)

Will this make Bluehole speedup the release of PUBG on console?
Battle Royale is a mode where you drop from a plane with 99 other people in a big map which shrinks over time (you have to be in the circle on the map); you loot gear found randomly in buildings, kill people, and the last one left is the winner.

Nah not really. This was over 3 platforms. PUBG is over one. and 2 later on.
Same. It didnt bother me last night but the rng bullets are getting annoying

I hope it continues to have high player counts as I want improvements. The game as it is now is already fantastic so I can't wait!

Played my first couple matches. Fun, but I don't like hitscan in an open-world setting like this.
Can anyone tell me how to switch 3rd person shoulders, or is that not a thing here?

I wonder if people this got such an influx of players because many are just sick of the general lack of polish on PUBG. It was a big turn off for me and I could see the countless "little things" really adding up.
It's definitely a ripe time for a more technically capable studio to capture the excitement of this genre right now.
(Obviously it helps that this is a free trial too, but it's still an abnormally large number of people playing)

What is this even supposed to mean?
Bluehole right now:
Considering they are a 30$ game that pulls more than 3 million people daily, i don't think they are much concerned about a free game that manages to pull one million distributed across three platforms. Other than that PR guy.
You took that from a PR dude that wasn't a actual developer? Ok then.
i dont think a game can be successful unless its on ps4

Cool animations that look realistic thanks to Euphoria > actual snappy control. I hate Euphoria, but it looks cool, and people like that. It made GTA4 unfun for me. Slow, big circle turns. When you run then change directions momentum makes it so you take a second to start going the other way because the character has to do it's direction change shift. GTA5 was a bit better with controls. Who knows how RDR will be.

Means that the animation playback takes priority over user input.

Depending on their commitment to PvE and as a way to stand out from the BR only games it might actually give them more funds to develop it more than if the game would have just died.
