“Orange! An orange scar!” The newness, the discovery, the slow game play, and the sheer thrill from this game this early was unlike any other game I’ve ever played.

This video was uploaded before the official free release of Fortnite Battle Royale in September 26, 2017. Meaning this guy bought Save The World in late July for $60 and at this time Battle Royale was only a bonus mode included that wasn't initally intended to be the main mode, this video is truly a time capsule of days long gone.
When I was 8 in March of 2018 I thought you still had to buy the game when I heard about it so I waited a week until my dad took my brother and I to GameStop just for the employee to say “It’s free.” To me that was crazy because I never heard of a free video game.
@@isaiahmonster6425 dw when the trailer first came out for battle royale i was like "hey mum can we please buy this new game called fortnite" and i just forgot about it until around season 3
There was no auto pick up so if you were out in the open it could be sketchy trying to pick everything up lol. No turbo building either so it took forever just to swap between build pieces to make cover
It's ridiculous how much this game has changed in the past 6 years...the slow reactions, the unawareness, the slow builds... Also this is one of the most legendary wins ever
It’s wild how much turbo building completely changed how we played. This gives the best nostalgia ever, not even Fortnite themselves can recreate this feeling correctly
The feeling of playing before there was a season was an unreal feeling. I don't know how to describe it, makes me want to go back and try to win a game for the first time again.
They tried to bring the og map back but it doesn’t feel the same although it’s accurate. The colouring used in 2017 can’t be used again cuz epic deleted the whole Chapter 1 file. For the new one
@@Gomu_1 They didn't delete it, the OG map and game was built in Unreal Engine 4, the game was updated to Unreal Engine 5 in Chapter 2, they can import the OG Map and it's parts, but thats just the models and whatnot, it's still using the Chapter 4 settings. If they wanted to rebuild OG in UE5 they can, it just is more work than they want as they have other plans.
while i adore season 1-3 of fortnite i think the updates theyve made improved the game. i think if they refused to continue innovating people would’ve eventually grown bored of fortnite
@@pleasant8748 They should always give you the option to play season 3 map with season 3 items, honestly I didn't like the changes and that alienated me from the game, I liked its simplicity and it being chill, not playing it competitively. Definitively should've added a build cooldown as well. That way both casual players and more sweaty gamers could switch between both maps and stay engaged... But I don't like the Fortnite that added 100 different gimmicks, I like the simple Fortnite: A chill battle royale game with a slight building gimmick. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one there
It’s astonishing how far the game has downgraded since Season 2, why couldn’t they just keep the game like this. The sound effects, the map, the graphics, the colour palette, the skins & especially the glowing items which would radiate its color. It was the perfect game, it gave you a fuzzy warm cozy dream like feeling, pre reason 3 fortnite had so much soul, you could feel the love & passion they put in to it, OG fortnite is definitely in the top 5 multiplayer games, but corporate greed ruined the game just like every franchise.

@@Monyatotfym? Fortnite is still as repetitive as ever lmfao just with extra steps and extra game modes. If they kept it like season 7 when they added creative for the first time it would’ve been much better. Now it’s so hyper realistic. We just want old graphics and map.
@@drakewasaloverboy did you and i watch the same video? If so then you would see how completely different the play style is to modern day fortnite. And by repetitiveness i mean adding nothing new like weapons, skins, areas, etc. To a child which the game is obviously catered towards it will look like a completely different game.
2017: "ooh an orange scar" *takes 10 seconds to swap to pickaxe* 2020: 250 cracked him he's dead, team 70 southwest cracked both of em knocked one *builds a skyscraper in half a second*
this might actually be the oldest. it's a time capsule for sure, so glad you posted it just a little under two months after release date! the candid narration, the clumsy looting, it's just all a perfect reminder that this is just a game and we were all "new" at one point.
This game had a campaign before a battle Royale so I’m sure there is older clips out there, might be the oldest for battle Royale but probably not for Fortnite
@@robertedie1444exactly what I was thinking. I recorded my own videos for og Fortnite before battle royale became a thing for it. I never posted them. But there’s older videos than this
@@animeminians7451 ur blind, imagine after years of epics hard work to make better and optimized mechanics, they discard it all out, for a OG season 😂be real with urself, new fortnite is better in every way. ofc i also miss the og times but thats cuz u got home from school and played with ur friends on a cold thursday night, not cuz the game itself was better, OG fortnite will never be able to be brung back
I love this video. Nice to see early stages of the game. His play style and energy reminds me how I felt when I first started playing Fortnite. Everyone remembers their first win ever.
I remember practicing for hours trying to do the (ramp floor wall) ramp up and was finally able to do like 5 in a row and clipped it and showed it to everyone, good times
No jumping, no reloading, no building, barely any looting of the enemy killed, this is pure OG Fortnite. No way i have 7.6 thousand likes 😂, 7.6k people clicked on that like button, thats huge! Ty guys 😁
I love how in the endgame, he doesn't even have enough bullets to reload. It's basically impossible today to make it to end game without max bullets. Shows how much people camped back in the day
I think what's sad about this, is there's literally nothing Epic can do to recreate this feeling, not even bringing everything back, reverting the graphics, no turbo building... Because the point was the thrill of discovering a new game, the unknown, everyone being lowkey noobs. There's just no way to bring that back.
No but it would still be cool to have the same sound effects (old scar shooting sound) the same weapon icons in the inventory, sound effects when picking up weapons, damaging another player with shield, shooting wood structures such as trees, the almost pixelated glow radiating from weapons on the ground, etc.. STW still has the sound effects when picking up weapons & materials and when you get damaged with shield, but it is a lot more quiet than it used to be.
I personally prefer watching the mechanics and pros that play nowadays... I can understand that nostalgia hits hard but honestly I have always enjoyed watching how this games goes more and more crazy with the movements and other stuff
I love to see some very old fortnite content, seeing how simplicity can make a game more enjoyable.. seeing how bringing back the OG map back in November brought back so many people to enjoy the simplicity all over again
Man i absolutely love the old sounds from the game... the small jingle when you get a new weapon, the sound effects from people shooting from far away, and the old sounds when you hit something with the pickaxe, these are great sounding, idk why epic just removed them :(

@@CampingComrade. a unpopular opinion that i agree, like, damn ive got friends that started playing the game because it looks "better" now, so yea they are appealing to everyone BUT og players
What I liked was that you could be really far away from the storm and struggle to get to the safe zone. Now we are never surprised by the storm and it's less interesting.
Weirdly, the anxiety I feel in this video is my favorite part. The amount of times building double stairs would have won him every fight in a second, or just forgetting to loot or reload, or look behind him lol... I miss these times, and know they will never return. Just like MMORPG's being $15 a month and no microtransactions to get max level or boosted. Nostalgia is a powerful drug.
I was hating on Fortnite and now I wish I played more than one game during the first seasons, I wish I played while everyone was bad and learning the game
Man I miss this, even if we were all trash, that don't matter, the genuine excitement and heart rate going up was insane. I just found one of my first games today, playing randoms with an actually good player at the time, calling me the biggest scrub he'd seen, man I just wanna go back and play one more time.
Ill always remember the first time i ever got a orange scar. It was out of a radom chest in the middle of no where. The nostalgia hits hard with this vid.
this comment^^ because when fortnite started to become world popular, people always called it a kid's game, when it was the 20 year olds like tfue and ninja that helped take it to another level. it was also the 20 year olds like you and i playing that helped grow the game. fortnite at its been was a game full of young adults, and at its worse now, is a game full of kids.
@@tjbaby0You got it half wrong, there were still kids playing the game. I remember getting randoms of kids aged 8-14 playing the game. Kids and teenagers were the main audience playing the game. 20 year olds were just the people who got it popular
This made me so nostalgic. I'd forgotten how slow gameplay felt at one point. There was no sweats building at the speed of light, no crazy mobility tool.
I remember 3 seasons after my first game i won in season 5 for the first time in paradise palms. I also remember sweating profusely and shaking and I immediately took a picture

11:12 That “Hell yeah, Victory Royale” was wholesome for some reason. There’s no “You suck kid, get better” or “Get off the game, you’re bad”. These are nice times.
This art style used to be so cool and so unique, hidden creepy save the world Easter eggs, buildings seem abandoned due to trash and boarded up windows/doors, calm ambience of the woods and storm, the comic like style…. They’ve changed the game so much in order to keep it alive that Fortnite has lost its soul.

@@BlackKoffy it would have been better off that way. Or at least being viewed as some black sheep of the shooters if it stayed the same or never added turbo building or never had deep lore.
brother, this made me reflect on my entire life, I would love to fall asleep and wake up on that afternoon in 2018 when I asked my brother if I could download Fortnite and he replied "No, you're too young, you don't know how to download anything", when that same day he went to party I took advantage and downloaded it, without the slightest knowledge of computers I managed to download it and I spent the whole night playing it, I see this and I know that I will never feel that feeling with any other game...
I'm glad that the zero build mode is permanent (for now), helps bring back those unreal moments of tranquillity of running through open land, hearing distant gunshots. Something about those early moments when everyone went from one hiding spot to another instead of building the twin towers in 1 second
yeah zero build focuses a lot more on using natural cover and properly using movement to dodge things, honestly its the only way i can even get a solo win now because 99% of players in build have spent way too much time playing this game
@@Bearonsticksand you think everyone has the time to be good at a battle royal game like you think being good at fortnight means something in the real world no.
@_xotik7425 tbh it lost its atmosphere after season 8 i mean season 1-5 were the best seasons but even the seasons after felt like REAL fortnite. chapter 2 season 2 was a fresh breathe of air also
I feel like im the only one who dont know wtf yall talking about i shouldve played this game when everyone was hyping it up 😭 but mfs building a whole skyscraper turned me off
This shows how cool it was to have a new concept in gaming (building) and it was only used when needed, like to build a fort or to get to a higher area and not spammed to just keep you alive
I really miss the old feel of Fortnite. The sound effects pick ups, the way the game looked. Everything. Now it just feels less unique even with having all the content it does
I prefer this style too but that’s really just nostalgia talking. The definition of unique is something new and has not been replicated before. Cartoon style Pubg with building isn’t all that unique compared to now. The better way to describe the new season is overwhelming and over complicated
@@getaloadofthisguy2927 I actually like the new season from what I saw. It looks pretty nice. But It’s just the simplicity that chapter one had that made it good, even though it was simple. Replying to what u said, I wouldn’t even say they copied pubg because Fortnite was always its own thing. They just dropped a battle royale and it blew up. If you say that, You can say the same thing with warzone, apex, etc
@@lum1notryc828 So u saying that im blinded by nostalgia just cuz I said Fortnite isn’t as fun as it was and doesn’t feel the same as before? And u calling it an excuse? You must be too blind to fix your typos in yo comment. Fix that first then we can talk
This is the most primitive fortnite gameplay ever but I love it I also love how the game ends so abruptly. Like no room to emote or anything😭 Also at some point he dropped the scar when it wasn’t reloaded and when he picked it back up it was reloaded
@@yikes710yeah there was footage from 2011, FROM THE DEVELOPERS, for a different version of the game unrelated to the Battle Royale that wasn't set to release for 6 more years. It's pretty much as primitive as it gets for real players playing the real game after its real release date.
@@yikes710 buddy I have news for you, the update that added Battle Royale was the EXACT same day the game entered early access on playstation. September 26th, 2017. Look it up if you don't believe me. I'd also like to add that no, there is NOT 2011 footage. There was a *trailer*, but the game was still in the planning phase at that point.

@@Monyatotfym? Fortnite is still as repetitive as ever lmfao just with extra steps and extra game modes. If they kept it like season 7 when they added creative for the first time it would’ve been much better. Now it’s so hyper realistic. We just want old graphics and map.

It is metaphorical miles away from that lol. If they didn’t innovate the game would be dead by now.
@@drakewasaloverboy did you and i watch the same video? If so then you would see how completely different the play style is to modern day fortnite.

I think what's sad about this, is there's literally nothing Epic can do to recreate this feeling, not even bringing everything back, reverting the graphics, no turbo building... Because the point was the thrill of discovering a new game, the unknown, everyone being lowkey noobs. There's just no way to bring that back.
No but it would still be cool to have the same sound effects (old scar shooting sound) the same weapon icons in the inventory, sound effects when picking up weapons, damaging another player with shield, shooting wood structures such as trees, the almost pixelated glow radiating from weapons on the ground, etc.. STW still has the sound effects when picking up weapons & materials and when you get damaged with shield, but it is a lot more quiet than it used to be.
I personally prefer watching the mechanics and pros that play nowadays... I can understand that nostalgia hits hard but honestly I have always enjoyed watching how this games goes more and more crazy with the movements and other stuff
Fr bro i was thibk the same it’s the fact of being put on and discovering the new game feeling now it’s all competitive miss these days Fr 😪
They must be trying to do that again because I swear Fortnite is a different game every month
Why can't they bring it back?
I love to see some very old fortnite content, seeing how simplicity can make a game more enjoyable.. seeing how bringing back the OG map back in November brought back so many people to enjoy the simplicity all over again

Man i absolutely love the old sounds from the game... the small jingle when you get a new weapon, the sound effects from people shooting from far away, and the old sounds when you hit something with the pickaxe, these are great sounding, idk why epic just removed them :(

I'm glad that the zero build mode is permanent (for now), helps bring back those unreal moments of tranquillity of running through open land, hearing distant gunshots. Something about those early moments when everyone went from one hiding spot to another instead of building the twin towers in 1 second
