It looks like some odd combination of Borderlands, Overwatch, and Titanfall. Which IMO results in a much better-looking game than any previous Battle Royale title, especially on the gunplay side of things, but I'm still not sure it's appealing enough to get me to install Origin.

 

Overwatch Ft Fortnite Ft Blackops Blackout Ft Pubg

 

Dam shame they swore never to touch the switch

 

Has other games done 3 teams by default or at all?

Also, I was wondering if there were any Hero Shooter Battle Royale. Turns out it was Paladins Battleground aka Realm Royale.

 

when is mobile?

 

Alot of good ideas... Fun game for sure. But then need to add map wise and players. EA cash grab I think.. but we'll built.

 

I had to give it a try and it's very good. I guess that's surprising in some ways (it's a F2P EA game), but at the same time, the Titanfall games were pretty great too, so I think Respawn is a pretty solid developer overall. I amend my earlier post, it's more like a mix of Overwatch (characters with great personality, character abilities), plus Halo (two weapon limit with satisfying gunplay), plus Titanfall (sliding and fluid movement). The per-match weapon upgrades are really cool. It's also got the best contextual ping/communication system I've ever seen.

I suppose the issues I always had with Fortnite were the pointlessness of a construction mechanic in a match-based shooter, and the terrible random hitchance system. The issues I had with PUBG were the bugs/optimization problems, and the bland aesthetic. Apex Legends doesn't have any of these issues.

Not to say it's entirely without flaws. I would've preferred they give you room to carry at least three weapons, and it is possible to go almost a whole match without running into any enemies. The former doesn't really bother me enough to keep me from enjoying the game, however, and the latter is more an issue inherent to the Battle Royale genre at large.

Oh, and it ran perfectly on my hardware. That might seem like a given, but I was running it in 4K with everything cranked to max, so I'd guess it runs pretty well all the way down to its minimum requirements.

It's both funny and sad how much better this seems to be than Anthem.

 

F2P and it's this good?

 

o looky another "FREE TO PLAY" battle royal game

 

If they made this available on Steam as well or, better yet, as a standalone like some games do, it could actually do pretty darn well with potential to get up there with Fortnite in terms of playerbase. Seems fun and unless they add scummy practices like battle passes or lootboxes, it would be interesting to see where it ends up. But problem is Origin... Apparently it already hit 1 million players already within 8 hours, so it certainly is promising.
