Is the Battle Royale genre the peak of PvP online gaming?

[Rembrandt]

If someone can figure out how to make MOBA’s palatable to console gamers they might have a hit on their hands

I mean smite already plays well on consoles.

And tarkov isn't even really a BR. It's an extraction game. You can say that's basically a BR with more depth but then you're blurring lines

Tarkov doesn't require you to kill everyone to win or anything like that.

If anything, extraction games are becoming the new BR

there's like 3-5 battle royale games that are doing well and comfortably self-sustaining right now

there was a mad rush to slap together any theme you could to a BR template and its been over for about two years now.

Exactly, it's oversaturated and fails most times.

Idek if it's 5. It's like Warzone, Fortnite, and PUBG for the most part.

Whatever studio that can figure out a casual extraction game is gonna EAT lol

DMZ was cool but there was no meta game where there was a shop and hideout outside of the matches

I'm curious if GTA 6 will mostly stick with their GTA V online formula or try to make a big change. They definitely have the potential to shift the whole culture depending on what they do online wise, for better or worse.

GTAV is already pretty much a BR but with respawn.

Honestly they dont need to change the formula with GTA6. Just give the game a better UI, faster load times, and the usual with better graphics and physics and they'll eat.

Apex Legends

Oh yeah, idk how I forgot apex.

Facts, no wonder so many companies are trying. Ubisoft failed with Rainbow Six unfortunately and so did EA with Battlefield. Sony is probably gonna feel with FairGame$ or whatever the fukk it's called.

Hunt could have been it but they're not even tryna attract console gamers.

Really hoping the fivem devs lead to them actually incorporating RP. They seemingly tried a little with RDO, but fivem is just the perfect example of an amazing, futuristic multiplayer game.

Fairgames is more like Payday. Marathon is Sony’s Extraction shooter

Eh, we'll see. Being PVP makes it the exact opposite of Payday, especially if the goal is two teams competing to get money and leave.

That sounds like an extraction game and why it gets compared so much to that hyenas game

We’ll see in 3 years or so

Battle Royale too random. Cosigning fighting games. Maybe even RTS games.

 

[SymbolicOne09]

Absolutely not. FPS/arena shooters. Siege is still some peak multiplayer

This
Unreal tournament 99, 2004 quake 3 counter strike 1.5‐1.6
Before paid dlc .. locked down servers.. was peak online gaming.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Siege is still some peak multiplayer

Man, Ubisoft doesn't get enough credit for how revolutionary Siege was/is to competitive FPS.

Nothing else plays like it. Feels like chess on higher levels

You right you right. Naraka slips my mind. It's popular on consoles too
