Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

    Those aren’t re-skins though, they just used the battle royals game type as their main game type.

    I can’t really think of a similar game to fortnite before it in regards to the combination of building and competitive shooter, although I’m sure someone can point out an early example, and Apex is smashing together counterstrike and maybe overwatch or something similar for the gameplay.

    Personally I don’t think apex would have worked if it just looked like a re-skin but its got a lot of great artwork and the level designs are interesting at least to me.

    Also fortnite has become the everything game, they have Lego and rocket racing and a guitar hero minigame, its sort of gone wild IMO.

      Fortnite started as a sanbox “everything” game

      Wasn’t until they added Battle Royale that it became big, but it was always intended to be a playground / creative shooter

        What?

        I only remember the wave-based, tower defense main mod. What playground mode was there?
