Fortnite was my first battle royale, as I’m sure it was for many. I thought at the time, “how awesome is this? 100 players in 1 lobby, with 1 winner.” Gaming peaked in 2018 for so many, the excitement of logging on was comparable to Modern Warfare 2 for my generation.

˚Fortnite是我第一次大逃杀，因为我敢肯定，这是许多。 当时我想：“这有多棒？ 1个大厅有100名玩家，其中1名是获胜者。” 游戏在2018年达到顶峰，有这么多，登录这一代的兴奋程度堪比我们这一代的《 现代战争2 》。

The satisfaction of that first win is unrivalled, completely unrivalled in multiplayer gaming. The difficulty, the odds, the slow-mo of the final bullet hitting home. All of these things that made the battle royale era iconic. Of course, H1Z1 and PUBG existed, but it never injected itself into broader pop culture like Fortnite.

首次胜利的满意度是无与伦比的，在多人游戏中是绝对无与伦比的。 最终子弹击中目标的难度，赔率和慢动作。 所有这些使皇家大逃亡时代具有标志性。 当然， H1Z1和PUBG存在，但从未像Fortnite那样将其注入更广泛的流行文化中。

Those days feel like a decade ago now, partly because life has changed, but also because several doppelgangers have risen from the ashes. Realm Royale was born, which was exactly the same game but with magic and chickens. Call of Duty brought out a battle royale game mode with Black Ops 4, which they made free for a bit to try and bring in more players. Warzone, while extremely popular is just another game where you parachute onto a huge map and run for several minutes looking for people.

那些日子感觉就像十年前一样，部分原因是生活发生了变化，还因为一些灰烬中的混血儿复活了。 皇家王国(Realm Royale )诞生了，它是完全一样的游戏，但带有魔术和鸡。 使命召唤(Call of Duty)通过Black Ops 4推出了大逃杀游戏模式，他们免费试用了该模式并吸引了更多玩家。 《战地风云 》虽然非常受欢迎， 但却是另一款游戏，您可以在那张巨大的地图上跳伞，并跑了几分钟寻找人。

The most respectable imitation of the lot was probably Apex Legends, which at least added and changed many things to the point it almost stood on its own two feet. Fortnite even copied their respawn feature in an update! Everyone eventually got tired of the fact that you had to reload and unload three magazines per kill in Apex Legends, and they joined the graveyard.

拍品中最受人尊敬的模仿品可能是Apex Legends ，它至少增加和改变了许多东西，使其几乎只靠自己的两只脚站立。 Fortnite甚至在更新中复制了其重生功能！ 最终，每个人​​都厌倦了您必须在《 Apex Legends 》中每次杀手装卸三本杂志的事实，他们加入了墓地。

The hype around battle royales post-Fortnite was actually so reactive that Fortnite copied themselves! Do you know how they did that? They feigned their own deletion, then shouted “PSYCHE!” and brought themselves out again. The craziest thing is they didn’t even add anything, but nor did they come back out the same game.

周围的战斗royales后Fortnite炒作竟是这样的React是Fortnite自身复制！ 你知道他们是怎么做到的吗？ 他们假装自己删除，然后大喊“ PSYCHE！”。 并再次展现自己。 最疯狂的事情是他们甚至都没有添加任何东西，但是他们也没有退出相同的游戏。

They came back as the original Fortnite… genius!

他们作为最初的Fortnite ……天才回来了！

Suddenly there were only like five guns in the whole game and three-quarters of the community were re-infatuated. Oh, just pure genius. It’s a commitment to minimalism that would make the iPhone blush.

突然，整个游戏中只有五门枪，而四分之三的社区又迷住了。 哦，天才。 这是对极简主义的承诺，会使iPhone脸红。

The latest battle royale craze is Fall Guys. And, to give credit where credit is due, this game is certainly an innovation. Although there are some clear gaps (like an inability to make private lobbies, for example).

最新的大逃杀热潮是Fall Guys 。 而且，要在应得的荣誉中给予荣誉，这款游戏无疑是一项创新。 尽管存在明显的差距(例如，无法进行私人游说)。

At this point I’m genuinely wondering if developers should start to sideline the battle royale format. It’s not just that there are a million battle royales out there at the moment, but also, I get the impression that other forms of multiplayer are increasingly being ignored (that is to say, I’m eager for games to bring back modes where players like myself can taste victory at a slightly higher rate than three 7s on a slot machine).

在这一点上，我真的很想知道开发人员是否应该开始放弃皇家格式。 这不仅是因为目前有上百万的战斗皇室成员，而且，我给人的印象是其他形式的多人游戏正越来越被忽略(也就是说，我渴望游戏能带回玩家像我自己一样，可以比在老虎机上以3个7秒稍高的速度品尝胜利)。
