      The main reason for the downfall of Hyperscape was the learning curve/skill floor of the game. They did everything right, managed to hype up the game pretty well, but most people couldn't really enjoy the game because if you weren't a hardcore gamer (or didn't use the smart pistol) you just wouldn't win or get a kill for that matter. If it was a bit more beginner/noob friendly it most likely would be here with us today.

    I do hope arena shooters and class based shooters make a comeback someday. I do think it’s possible. People need to realize as well that just because a game isn’t popular anymore doesn’t mean it’s still fun. I still play Black ops 3 multiplayer almost daily still and it’s still incredible almost 8 years later. Don’t let anything or any youtubers influence your fun in gaming.

      I think people need to look as battle royales as a game mode rather than a genre. There's no reason why a fps could come out with a battle royale with other game modes. I think a lot of people were hoping for that in halo infinte but they kinda dropped the ball on that. Extraction / looter shooters like tarkov are suppose to be next big genre but we will see about that.

    I think the reason why Fortnite works is simply because they're not afraid of experimentation. In one season you have people using Dragon Ball mechanics and in another, they are swinging through Spider-Man's web shooters. One can say they never take themselves seriously, and just focus on what's 'fun'.
    That helps them build consistency through evolution.

      Pretty much this. The fact that so many BR's also tried to be Live Service games also didn't do them any favors when entering such a walled off market. The way the BR scene looks today is pretty damn similar to how the Arena Shooter scene was toward the end of the 360/PS3 era where there were several mainstay titans who held the vast majority of players (Call of Duty, Battlefield, Counter Strike ect.) with smaller games popping up and drawing some players away from those games only to swiftly fade away as the novelty wore off and they went back to their mainstay title.
      It's a recurring trend across the various videogame genre's, with some exceptions, that has played out over and over again.

It was one of the most different games I've ever played at the time and even to this day. I have a feeling the next 3-4 years will be taken over by them. The Division was just way before its time... if it came out now it would of blown up. The fact that you can loot and farm NPC in a storyline that mixes with single player then run into another team and they try and rob you. Builds that everyone can midmax to however they like.

    I think with the rapid increase in technology, it’s easier for developers to create beautiful solo experiences with really enticing combat, like GoW, Elden Ring, A Plague Tale, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Hades, and upcoming Avatar Frontiers of Pandora and Hades 2. I think single player games are the future, as companies don’t have to focus on good multiplayer, meaning they can put more resources towards good stories, beautiful graphics and buttery smooth gameplay.

  • @joyhally7754

    You should test extraction shooters like Hunt Showdown and Escape From Tarkov
    They're practically Battle Royals but the goal is to complete an objective then make it to an extraction point safely.
    In Hunt everyone is fighting to have the opportunity of killing a "boss" which is a very powerful NPC placed somewhere randomly on the map, the players must locate the boss layer by scanning clues scattered around the map. The game is slow and methodical with smart repositioning being the crux of the combat. I love it a lot and I would love to see a Macro take on it.

    • @GMOTP5738

  • @SnesySnas

    I think the problem with BRs is that they're so hard to make and maintain
    It's harder than normal MP games because you need a large enough playbase to accomodate your game's high limit of players per match
    So the problem arises when players prefer a BR over yours
    So it's very hard to create an Original BR with Interesting Mechanics because people usualy steer away from the "New"
    Take Darwin Project for example, it took the BR idea and molded it into it's own thing! An announcer that could shift the match at will, limited weaponery to simplify the game and yet heighten the skill ceiling, survival aspects to make the game more thrilling while adding craftable tools and gadgets to help you gain an edge over battle even if you haven't fought much
    I feel like the game didn't do well because players wanted a Fortnite-like shooter, it was what started the whole genre and a game shifting away from it COMPLETELY isn't comforting, so they're not interested in trying it.
    But let's take another example: Hyperscape. It was a shooter BR that didn't change much from other BR games...So why did it die? Because it was fast. The abilities didn't bother most people, but it was how fast the whole game was that made people not want to keep playing it, because other BRs aren't even close to being that fast, not even Apex which is considered a fast BR, was considered to be "Too fast".
    All a BR needs to be quickly gave up on is "Change". If you try to change the formula too much, no one wants to hear what you got to say because it isn't what they're familiar with.
    It's the same for other Multiplayer games, but atleast they got a smaller number of players per match which allows them to keep thriving as anyone could still find a match despite the game not being very popular
    Can you tell i'm sad that Darwin Project and Hyperscape died yet? lol

I was getting consistently to diamond with filled squads, but playing normals was unplayable and once getting to diamond rank was also unplayable, to have a fun time in apex you either are the top of players or the bottom, being in the top middle sucks, u get matched only against preds and masters, yet the game refuses to put me in that rank, or the third option you just create smurf accounts.

    The whole genre popularity has been declining for a couple years now. If you're not in the big 4 (Fortnite, Apex, Warzone, PUBG) you're not going to find an audience. If you are in the big 4, then you're introducing non-br modes. However, I highly doubt Fortnite will ever become dead because of it's vast amount of interesting updates and the entire Creative side of the game. All of this extra stuff means that the BR experience isn't incredibly fatiguing to the average player. Apex, on the other hand, will probably faulter more due to it's overreliance on the BR genre.

It's definitely not for everyone though.

    I think the biggest issue gameplay / quality of life wise with battle royales is still the time spent not doing anything, and I don't even just mean looting. The time you spend between dying and landing in apex just looking at UI and menus is insane considering how quickly things can go to shit after you didn't really do much in a match.
    I think if the time between losing and jumping off the ship in a new match was like 30-60 seconds the battle royale formula would feel a lot more refreshing to a lot of players. I agree entirely with your point about ranked as well. Also, I worry that yes extraction is the direction we are headed, and I am not a big fan of it so sucks for me ig.

    Apex needs to add titans. There could be a pickup that you could find in the map that allows 1 titan per team, that can be driven by any team member. It could also be cool to have the titan act on its own if there's no one in it, as a sort of fourth squad member.

  • @jaylebowski9745
    @jaylebowski9745 Год назад +1

    I think "Extraction Looter Shooter" types games will be the future. It has elements of BR with added persistence and risk that allows for deeper progression and more build variety.
    Games like Escape from Tarkov (often considered the father of the genre), Cycle: The Frontier, Rainbow Six: Extraction, Marauders and Dark and Darker(RPG instead of FPS) are more digestible version of DayZ that revolve around a "session based" format that is popular since it can fit into anyone's schedule. The only hindrance is sometimes there is a minimal commitment level to these games that many cannot afford. And "gear fear" will take a while for some to overcome.
    Overall I can see the Extraction genre become the spiritual successor to the BR craze, and we will soon see more and more developers expand on what EFT started years ago. Once you get into this genre, you are hooked. The thrill of incomparable high risk/high reward is unmatched.

  • @BeaglzRok1

    Honestly, time is kind of a cycle with these sorts of things. I used to be big into TF2/Overwatch and got burnt out because there was nothing else to "get," but I keep coming back around to Deep Rock Galactic because the maps and challenges are dynamic and to the setting I choose and my friends actually have fun playing it. I've cycled back around to Stardew Valley after some time away just because I missed that starting gameplay loop of having tangible improvement. I got a bit into Yugioh Master Duel because it'd been nearly a decade since I last cared about Yugioh, and the F2P battlepass model is leagues better than what OW2 had to offer.
    I think BR games are just stabilizing, settling down now that the dust has kicked up and gotten these games made and changed and changed. If they decide to keep bringing content updates, even if it's as small as a few new game modes or maps at a reasonable clip, it can keep the game going for a long time.

  • @pedromarcal5100

    My biggest problem with BRs is that it isn't a genre that you can just log on and play to relax you have to focus while playing, it is not an easy or peaceful experience. Other games for exemple allow more of that way of playing because your mistakes dont punish you as hard. Let's take an exemple, if someone whos is not the best at BRs, this pearson will log on and search for a game after maybe 2-5minutes he will find a game and after more 4-5 minutes he will start playing for real the he dies in the first fight, now he has to do the cycle once again.

I feel empty after sometime and just don't feel like playing it. I had times that I entered the game and run around in Shooting Range for an hour and than left because I had no other games to play. Right now I'm playing OW2, as an old OW player I will not say anything good about it but they at least try to fix things.

    I had a 100% win rate in Spellbreak! I played the game when it first came out, and I won the first match I played so I never touched it again.
