The gaming market has been altered forever by the introduction of battle royale genre, with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Fortnite being its two biggest pillars. They have both sucked the lives out of millions upon million players over the world and even though released almost a decade apart fans still argue which can truly hold top spot, this or that. In this post, we will evaluate how PUBG and Fortnite have reached their highs with a comparison of:
The Rise of PUBG and
Fortnite
PUBG: The Original
Battle Royale
PUBG was Developed and Published by
PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of Bluehole Studio in March 2017. It was a key
component of popularizing the battle royale genre and created by former Battle
Royale mods developer for other games, Brendan Greene. The aim of the game is
to parachute 100 players on a deserted island that requires all and them
weapons and equipment with which they can fight among themselves in offensive -
while avoiding, by moving or creating obstacles at fixed coordinates, being
shot.
PUBG offered realistic graphics,
high-octane gameplay and plenty of strategic depth; the game quickly caught on
with gamers, smashing records for concurrent players on Steam. It was a true
cultural hit, leading the charge of many other battle royale games and
solidifying itself as one of the top genres in today's industry.
Fortnite: The Amazing
Innovator
Originally debuted by Epic Games
back in July of 2017, Fortnite began as a cooperative survival game. But that
all turned around in a big way once the free-to-play Battle Royale mode was
added to it in September 2017. While the original concept of a Battle Royale
was taken from PUBG, Fortnite amazingly used that but made it unique by
integrating brilliant building mechanics into this vibrant looking game to make
themselves less realistic and more arcade-like.
The accessible gameplay, rapid updates and in-game events of Fortnite allowed any kind of player to improve. Its cross-platform support, which brought it to consoles as well as mobile devices (earning Fortnite a coveted spot on our list of top 30 games for iOS), and its popularity among younger gamers were the driving forces behind the game. It stopped being a mere game and began transforming into a cultural phenomenon impacting music, fashion, even politics.
Gameplay Mechanics
PUBG: Tactical and
Realistic with Keybinds for every ability
PUBG takes an intense focus on the
battle royale genre. Its graphical quality is high, its weapons feel realistic,
and the gameplay style leans away from hyperkinetic action to something slower
paced. One option, of course is going for cover and then maybe using the FOV
exploit to watch for other players and shoot them. Coupled with the game's
large maps, changeable weather and realistic ballistics-based gameplay loops
make for an even more immersive experience.
PUBG: PUBG is a game with an
extremely heavy emphasis on realism, and that includes its audio design as
well. Every gunshot should be bassy but distinctive so that they stand out
among the gunshots of 100 other players barreling down towards you in this most
heated battle royale contestierenment. This huge array of weapons, attachments
and vehicles that add to the tactical diversity of gameplay.
Fortnite: Action Packed
And Creativescape
The gameplay of Fortnite is fast
actioned and filled with the diverse building mechanics. Players can also
collect resources Wood, Brick and Metal to build structures on the fly. Despite
this not requiring a hammer with nails, it creates an exciting layer to combat
that permits players the ability of building ramps or even buildings entirely
during firefights.
Other than PUBG it has variation in
its graphics with colorful and cartoonish art of pubg. Emotes, skins and other
cosmetics: Fortnite also features a number of personalization options that can
keep you busy dancing - or at least trying to do the floss dance. Seasonal
updates add new weapons, pick-ups and events of the time-limited variety to
keep things fresh and worth playing.
