Is battle royale stifling multiplayer mode innovation?

As developers continue to push the battle royale genre some gamers are being left behind and games could become less innovative.

holy hyperbole, calm down!

porkChop2918d ago

We haven't had any significant innovation in FPS multiplayer modes for a long time. Battle Royale is so popular because it's finally something totally different. So no, it's not stifling innovation. It IS the innovation.

TheGamez1002917d ago

Was gunna say the same damn thing. BR is still fairly new and the most innovative multiplayer mode in some time. Seriously, you guys need to calm yourselves lol. All ive been seeing are simple tdm, ctf, domination, bomb modes, and many other versions of these modes for years. Theres Like 2 BR games that have blown up in huge popularity around the world? Automatically disliked because its the hot thing right now and what tons of non gaming casuals also play.
Really dont understant the hate on BR with the internet lol. Incoming downvotes...

We have a winna!

BR is the hot new thing for MP games now and even though we might be seeing an influx of games adding this mode I expect to see a lot of BR games try and tweak and change the formula to separate themselves from the rest.

I say bring it on!

"Battle Royale is so popular because it's finally something totally different"

It's not, though... it's just a variation of the same survival/last man standing game mode we've had in MP games for several years.

That variation is a big one resulting in a big change in gameplay. It means you have a massive map with survival /looting elements in it and allows to change the scope of everything.

ziggurcat2916d ago (Edited 2916d ago )

I don't think it's enough to take it away from being just another survival/last man standing game mode.

edit: it's just putting lipstick on a pig, and trying to convince people it's something brand new.

Isn't Battle Royale the newest "innovation"? how does an innovation stifle innovation?

porkChop2917d ago

Exactly. We haven't really been getting any new or innovative game modes for the last decade. If we didn't have BR, we'd have nothing else new either.

In the same way breathing oxygen stifles breathing oxygen.

Battle Royal is the variation on MP that it needs. Other modes and games will co-exist, remember the crazy popularity of COD:MW?

It all ebbs and flows, just let it run its course. If it becomes the only FPS/3rd person mode available, then we can worry.

Counterstrike Source had tons of game modes. Same for Team Fortress 2 on PC. Prison Break was cool on CS. Zombie mode, surfing, etc etc.

I would love another Socom. PlayStation needs another Socom. Socom Royale?

I love Zombie Escape mode on CS Go and still play it religiously.

I don't have a PC right now but would love to play CS GO
