Would a SQUID GAME GAME be the evolution of Battle Royale?

Original text too short.

The Squid game series from Netflix have not lost even after the first hype of their popularity. Netflix series breaking records, and it is already gewerkelt of Squid Game Season 2 — even if the series of inventor Hwang Dong-hyuk was never designed. A second season could be a blockbuster but eventually were asked for the finale of Season 1, all switches.

Even away from the streaming provider Squid Game still making waves. Headlines making the rounds that kids adjust the games on schoolyards and still the same bats — as concerns have been raised whether Squid Game belongs not prohibited. Squid-game costumes and distinctive overseer masks were for Halloween of firecrackers, and probably will ring the cash register in the official Netflix shop. There are all kinds of shirts to Squid game to buy. But... what could actually learn from the hype surrounding Korean children s games, the gaming industry?

The Battle Royale genre

If you wanted to Squid Game gamifizieren, then there s probably a genre for which stands clear: Battle Royale. Because Squid game actually does nothing to wear as the theme of the Japanese cult film in a more modern society. And all Battle Royale games are inspired by the film. In the end, it s done finally only one thing: One survived.

The genre of Battle Royale video games by itself is actually well-staffed, especially with top dogs like PUBG, Fortnite and Apex Legends. But PUBG has never recovered from that suddenly was Fortnite there. Fortnite turn loses despite continuous updates in popularity. Obviously, the first is as innovative acclaimed Build-game but not the real thing. Meanwhile, players would appreciate a no-build mode. And Apex Legends suffers from server problems. Fortnite: Absurd colorful. And the build-game does not say at all. Source: Epic Games

The Squid Game

Is this a chance that a development studio out pops a Squid Game? Let it just once in mind that there is now no less than last year, fully developed to a game. On a green meadow dream one could talk about the fact that Squid Game as a serious representative had some opportunities. A plus would be that there could be different games, inspired by the Korean children s games. Because the problem of Battle Royale games is now: Does it one, you know them all. They are relatively interchangeable with any and all is shooter.

You see already that I wrote serious representatives, and the top of his intention. Because there is a Battle Royale, stringing together the various mini-game races, until only one remains: Fall Guys. Which established in 2020 for a little sensation because it simply absurd funny looked like the small, chubby figures stumbled over obstacles.

Test of Skill

The players in the series Squid game have to prove themselves in a variety of disciplines. Speed ​​and inaction, patience and precision for time, cunning and foresight. And a good portion of luck does not hurt. Why, then, so do not break the game genre; FPS away from and towards a mix of many activities that are then played in several rounds? So all players in one way or another would be the same, because no one in any discipline of the best will be without exception. This adds spice!

The possibilities would be endless: a round of Stealth for Red Light, Green Light. A puzzle game where you have to come in time to the correct solution. A game that your precision challenges, such as a hot wire. Marble poker with video transmission. Tug of war about it measured how quickly suppressed their mouse or other button. Even the crossing of a glass bridge would be feasible — and all of your home from the safety off. You do not place yourselves even in mortal danger. And you are times before, as it would be, would this Squid Game also still take place annually in an e-sports tournament mode! With real money?

Only one thing would be... well hindrance. That Squid Game know those who know already the children games shown in the series. Much of the fascination Squid Game created at the beginning of the nine episodes from the fact that the spectators and the players do not know what to expect. Therefore, is also difficult to assess whether a Squid-game Season 2 would also strike as the first. It is not to fear that. And it would be to fear that all disciplines of Squid Game quickly their charm and their durability lose. Apart from that, the server structure would have to vote in an online game.
