You forgot smash brothers
Happy no one forgot that minecraft was the first game to start BR
I think fortnite is the best

Who ever said that red dead 2 has battle Royale is a lying piece of s*** go f*** yourself lying son of a b****.
Pubg is the best battle royal game
Some corrections: Hunger games wasn't a mod, it was a server, and it came out in 2010, and evolved into survival games.
My First Experience of Battle Royale is Twisted Metal 2.
Speaking of…. We need another Twisted Metal
No it's the battle mode in Mario Kart Wii
You forgot The Division battle royale realy, there is one.
So technically speaking, the person who made the whole "Battle Royale" concept is Koushun Takami?
Then copy cats just made their own version and made this genre very popular?
well damn there you have it folks.
No.. the original smash Bros is the first battle royal
THATS HOW MAFIA WORKS
we all know the kings of battle royale are minecraft and arma 3 the original 2 br gamemodes
Musical chairs?
There's too many!
Apex Legends?
You forgot Realm Royale, roblox battle royale, brawl Stars, Battlelands Royale, Knives Out, Rules of survival
And then Apex Legends appeared…
Apex did it best
And then there was Apex Legends
Everyone's saying Minecraft was the first battle royale, but without the "Arma" mod it wouldn't have gotten this big.
Apex legends joins the chat
Fortnite was kicked out from chat by APEX LEGENDS
Twisted Metal best battle royale game out there
suddenly a game by ea appears called "Apex Legends" and takes most players, way after this video was made
Mario Kart DS?
I remember playing Infestation The New Z’s Battle Royale mode before PUBG was popularized, does this game get a spot?

Gamespot, do your research because if you really are going to make a video about the history of the genre. You need to show the elements of battle royale that have existed in gaming all the way since the 1980s. In games such as 1985's Bomberman.
i dont know what is so special about battle royale genre. It is just different term for last man standing, sole survivor, last remaining.
0:44 Where did that sound come from? I can't see it!
