Just like PUBG,Fortnite was one of the first BR games to break into the gaming industry,and the EPIC Games produced Fortnite broke the market wide and large and became every other GAMERZ favorite quite very soon. Fortnite is a free to play Online Battle Royale game published by Epic Games Co.,Launched in 2017 after seeing the popularity of PUBG, it was mainly a spin-off for the Fortnite:Save the world Survival game. Fortnite had a very similar game plot , 100 players skydive from the PARTY BUS to an island where the players have to loot for weapons, consumables and other items. The main aim of the game is to be the last standing man or the last standing team. All of us who have played a couple of rounds in Fortnite:BR,have fallen in love with the game, it does not matter if you have been loyal with PUBG or any other BR game, you just can’t hate fortnite. So,let's dive into How Fortnite is one of the most addictive games in the industry right now. What makes Fortnite so addictive- Some health experts have genuinely said the Fortnite can get as addictive as some substantial drugs like Cocaine- We are not kidding guys, you can google it. There has been thousands of cases on the internet about Fortnite has became a very addictive thing in individual’s lives, and why is it so? Lose by a little-Win by more- ‘Do you remember the success of the “King” produced Candy Crush Saga,and how you could see people all around you so addicted to the game. You would be thinking what Candy Crush and Fortnite have in common. Did you notice how close you would get in winning and just a few steps would have won you the game in Candy Crush and how a few more bullets would have killed the enemy in fortnite. Getting it? Often after a gunfight where we die,we see how low was the enemy on health,and rage is on - “Mannnnnnn He was just one shot away”.This is what we mean by Lose by a little and Win by more. You often lose only by a few bullets or a small mishap, and you think that the next game you would have the chance to pay for those missed bullets,but when you win you think you’ve just out-killed all the other 99 players,which is WINNING BIG. This makes you get into the game again and again. This is the main reason why fortnite has been so addictive to all us GAMERZ. Not just shooting- Fortnite which enrolled more than 10 million players within the first few weeks of its release,isn’t just another loot,move and shoot game. It is much more than that.It comprises of collecting items to build, building walls and forts and using it to your advantage-to hide or to confuse your enemy. Exactly how Hide and Seek gave us the most of the fun in our childhood, Fortnite does the same Fortnite is simply not just a single dimensional game where only the Shrouds win the game with their accurate headshots. You have to plan and use teamwork to become the most dominant in the entire game. Unlike PUBG and the most Battle Royale games, Fortnite connects different aspects of your gaming skills to conclude in making you the winner. Freemium Model While most games on PC and consoles are paid these days, Fortnite has revolutionized gaming in many ways. GAMERZ like us who can not spend thousands on just buying the game,have been showered with the blessings from EPIC Games. The free game gives us a chance to buy other items in the game,like a Premium Pass for the season,other wearables which set us apart from other players in the game for a much cheaper cost than buying a single gaming title. One thing maybe that gaming company who tempted us in spending so much of our hard earned money- EA, should learn from these newly released gaming titles. Fortnite Vs PUBG Vs Other Battle Royales Graphics- The Graphical View of Fortnite,just like most things has its own Pros and Cons.The game delivers Cartoonish Graphics and Violence which means no graphic detailing ie. no show of blood or bullet shots which many parents would prefer over the realistic approach towards violence like in PUBG or any CoD game. Dynamics of the Game- Anyone who has spent some time on Fortnite and Battle Royale games,know how different dynamics and mechanics of the game is.Epic Games have focused on an Easier movement,minimum recoil and have considerably made shooting easier. All these factors influence in making the game more enjoyable for Casual players, which targets the main motive of the gaming- Enjoyment. Highly Optimized Game play- Epic Games have a huge arsenal of technicians and have a much much larger developer team if compared to Blue Hole Games,which is why Fortnite has been optimized to perfection making it playable on lower end gaming PCs unlike other top tier games like -PUBG or Rainbow Six Siege which deliver an unplayable low frame rates and rage causing lag. Casual Game play- Fortnite has always been a very casual game instead of making it a serious game. All the small points in the game make it more fun and relaxing than the other slow paced games. It is comparatively easier and more stress free to spot enemies in fortnite,not just enemies, it is also an easier task to find good loot in the game. The loot is often neon lighted in the game,and is quicker to find. Also,an average Fortnite Round lasts only 20 minutes,which makes it a quick ending game,eventually generating a more engaging routine for the GAMERZ. Who did not love Thor and Korg playing Fortnite and scolding NoobMaster69 OUR VERDICT- THERE IS NO VERDICT Even if compare Fornite:Battle Royale with the other Video Games in the market, it is extremely difficult to choose a winner. Fortnite on PC and consoles is by numbers more popular than PUBG if we take Player Count on the marks,but gets thrashed by PUBG mobile when it comes to Android and iOS platform.

Meaning of Battle Royal(e)- Battle Royale is one of the most common terms in gaming community these days. Even people with no relation to gaming whatsoever have started understanding this term pretty well, but this term has not just emerged in the past few years. It has been in use since medieval times. Battle Royale simply means what you have understood by the games in the recent times. It is a combat among a large number of fighters with equal opportunities,where they fight against each other,until in the end only one combatant is standing alive,who becomes the WINNER. History of Battle Royale Gaming- Even before the gaming genre developed, a similar concept has been in use since the year 1988, when the first ever WWE ROYAL RUMBLE event was produced. Though there were multiple events in this game. Royal Rumble which was broadcasted on the USA network,crossed all landmarks of popularity back in the day, in such a way that since 1988 there has been no year in which the event hasn’t been organized Though PUBG gave the genre “Battle Royale” a huge kickstart, it wasn’t the first game to have this wildly popular mode in it, but interestingly the game that first birthed the genre and PUBG have an extremely strange connection. Let’s get into this loot box of information. Evolution of Battle Royale H1Z1- The original game H1Z1 gained its popularity because of it’s gameplay and the concept, but the success of the game skyrocketed when, “Brendan PlayerUnknown Grenne” developed a battle royale mod for the game and naming it “King of the Hill”.Yes, you read the name correct, “PlayerUnknown”. This was the time when the genre started gaining eyes from the gaming community,which not only included players but also the humongous developer “Sony”,who invited the father of the genre to develop a dedicated Battle Royale game. Though he didn’t work with Sony for very long. 2. PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds- This is where the connection between H1Z1’s battle royale mod King of the Hill and PUBG gets clearer. After leaving Sony, Brendan PlayerUnknown Grenne,was invited by the South Korean gaming giant ,Krafton to develop his own game. PUBG which was developed under Bluehole is a subsidiary of Krafton.Bluehole not only devloped the vision of Brendan, they also gave the game his name, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” . The game was finally released in the year 2017, and became the Steam Game of the Year,2018. 3. Fortnite- With PUBG’s start in conquering the gaming world,Fortnite:Save the World, which was developed by Epic Games, also made the entry to the Soon-Going-to-explode Battle Royale industry with its own Fortnite:Battle Royale. While PUBG had to be bought, Epic Games made Fortnite:Battle Royale a free to download game.The american game developers focused on making their game as bug free as they could. Soon, as expected this game too catapulted itself among gamers around the world,with getting itself mentioned in the video with the most dislikes in the history of YouTube- YouTube Rewind- 2018 and the Marvel Saga Avengers: Endgame 3. Blast of Battle Royale Games- After PUBG and Fortnite became the epitome of fame and gains, there were back to back releases of new battle royale games in the market. Apex Legends,Garena Free Fire,Storm etc, as well as older games started adding Battle Royale as a new mode. Counter Strike : Global Offensive is one of the most popular games with a similar addition known as Danger zone and COD: Black Ops 4. Course of Action- Spawning/Dropping- A large number of players ,usually a 100 player get into the game in the form of Solo,Duo or pairing up as a Squad of four.Different games have different process of getting into the game. Most games such as PUBG,Fortnite and COD: Black Ops IV give the players a chance to drop and parachute to their desired locations from a plane of which the flight path is randomly decided by the game. 2. Looting/Acquiring Weapons- After getting to a location,players have to rush to houses and other locations to acquire weapons, helmets,protective vests and other items such as consumables like Energy Drinks and First-aids There are a wide variety of weapons available in the games with different categories like SMGs,Pistols and most importantly AR Guns and Sniper Rifles. Players also get a chance to collect attachments to these guns,which include Suppressors, Flash Hiders,Scopes etc. 3. Special Loot- Players hunt for special loot packages or drops as the gameplay proceeds. These packages contain OP or Overpowered weapons or other special items which are highly valuable in the games. These packages appear in different manners,but air drops are most popular in recent Battle Royale games. 4. End Zones- As the game progresses, the playzone for the players starts to contract throughout the map,forcing players in different areas to come closer. The play zone can start moving to any part of the map according to the games’ algorithm. If the players don’t get into the PlayZone, they start losing their health points leading to a Game Over,hence closing all the players into a smaller area as the game proceeds. 5. The Win- As the zone gets smaller and smaller,the number of living contestants start reducing,and in the end, as all the contestants kill each other,only the last surviving player or players(If it is a team game) . In the end, we can easily conclude that Battle Royales have been on the top of Gaming Industry and Community in the past two years,and we can see how it is even evolving further in itself. We have enough reasons to believe that Battle Royale has a tremendous market in the coming years.Till then lets enjoy our knocks,kills and most importantly our revivals.
