2009- Leauge of legends launched and you saw other Moba style games compete with it. Most notably DoTA and to a lesser extent HotS.

This lasted for a while and then we got the evolution of the moba that I think began with smite (2014) which featured a new perspective on the moba but ultimately ended with Overwatch being the' class & team-based FPS in 2016. Between the release of these two games you had lots of games that utilized concepts that originated in TF2 but were expanded on and experimented with. Think- "payload" and "checkpoint" style maps respectively.

There also seemed to be an interesting trend of team-based FPS titles such as Vermintide and Rainbow six siege but that's more of an offshoot I think.

Now the most popular genre (maybe not in our circles) is the battle royal. PUBG probably is the first game that comes to mind but it wasn't the necessarily the first battle royale game so much as it was the first to combine a number of mechanics all into one game. If you go all the way back you can trace this game's mechanical structure to DayZ just about. Then, you had a myriad of copycats that wanted to be "the next DayZ". Some doing better (7 days 2 die & Ark survival evolved) than others (InfestationZ) What you saw with these titles were scavenging and base building intermingled with gunplay.

I don't know who did it first but someone got the idea to do the battle royale scenario which was almost directly stolen from Battle Royale manga/anime. See also the hunger games if you're a fucking numale.

Now then comes July 25, 2017 the release of Fortnite. What do you get when you streamline that earlier mentioned: "scavenging and base building intermingled with gunplay"? You get fortnite (and also get their battle royale mode that comes with the stand alone game). That's pretty much where we are right now.

The base game of fortnite is not a battle royale game though. I'm still trying to figure out how to place it since it blends so much shit together it's hard for me definitely determine what it is. Whatever it is, I've found pretty addicting.

tl;dr

So we've gone like this

>Moba

>then FPS moba

>class and team based FPS

>transition to survival FPS

>prominence of the battle royale genre emerges

>now we're here.

Why have you done this much autistic organization of such a shitty genre?

I would like to think I'm cognizant of the medium I indulge in. While I don't care for mobas or team based multiplayer fuckfests I can still study them and observe their development.Think of many memes battleborn generated.

I thought there was another cartoony team based FPS that flopped as hard if not harder than battleborn that was made by some chinese company but I forget what it was if it did exist.. Lawbreakers comes to mind but that style was more realistic. Comparatively speaking the F2P Paladins would be a success compared to battleabortion.

You might be thinking of Gigantic. It mainly flopped because they revealed it way too early and kept it a bone and win10 exclusive.

>those trips

No, it looked like battleborn It think. That or my memory is failing me and multiple games are running together in my memory. There was a lot of shit released in 2016

Just call the OP a faggot and move on Anon. Trying to understand autism will give you a terminal case of minecraft.

Well, there was that cancelled one by Bethesda that all but disappeared.

Actually the tl;dr isn't chronologically correct. You had survival games both before and after the emergence of the FPS MOBA style games. Rather, you could say they were divergent developments perahps? What I'm trying to pin down are specific eras in which a particular game or style of game grabbed the spotlight.

You have to be underage if you think Dota copied league.

Class and team based FPS started with Battlefield in 2002.

Since COD 4 in 2007 pretty much all FPS are CLASS based. They call them "loadouts" but this doesn't change mechanic.

dota is from 2002

vermintide isn't an offshoot of tf2/overwatch. It's just left 4 dead set in warhammer

The fuck even is the point of this thread?

I didn't say it copied it. I'm aware of the original Warcraft mod it was based off. Apart from lan parties it didn't get much play from the larger gaming community. This was probably a good thing because the worse thing any game can get is an influx of normalfags and assorted try hard casuals that yell at you to "get gud" after they themselves have only been playing for a few weeks.

>vermintide isn't an offshoot of tf2/overwatch. It's just left 4 dead set in warhammer

I didn't say it was an offshoot of those games. I was referring to the trends in general.

this thread is about video games

about what?
