What Is Fortnite? A Look Ahead At Epic Games’ “Co-Op Survival” Title

Deep in Alpha testing, little is known about the upcoming project from Epic Games. With some hands-on learning and a bit of digging, we’ve got the scoop on Fortnite and some of what you may not know regarding the most interesting title in 2016.

Looks really good cant wait

It plays better than most Survival games because it sort of speeds up the process by working in procedural worlds rather than in persistent. I like it a LOT more than standard Survival games.

It's easy to see why you would think that, but if I wrote it well in the article, why wouldn't I like it in the comments?

Good game is good, isn't that OK?

Good article and I like hearing from ppl who have actually tested it. We are very cynical today and for good reason, but we play games to get excited, have fun, and tell others about the things we enjoy.

Ya, I have watched all of the videos they have posted on youtube. I just wish there was no NDA so I could watch some streamers playing it.

It's either amazing or awful.

Fingers crossed for this title.

I feel like I've been hearing about this game since... forever?

[ApolloTheBoss]

You have. They first announced this back in 2011. Should be done by now.

The difference is that this game is actually going to be polished and functional before they release it to the public. Most Alpha titles aren't even playable at launch and you get bored before they hit

I remember how weird it was first sewing it b/c it was gonna be the follow up to Gears from Epic and People Can Fly and using the new engine. Then this trailer comes and it's like wtf is this. It looked cool but entirely different.

What's amazing is how 4-5 yrs ago, they kinda knew or took the risk with this strange title. Then Cliff left and we didn't hear much else.

Looks damn good now and it's quite relevant. Who knew?

Looks interesting. Do we have any idea of release dates yet?

this game is boring as f, been playing/testing this game since the beginning, trust me, its super linear, and boring, im not allowed to discuss it, but its not worth it
the colors are pretty beautiful, its cartoony though, its nice if your younger, but older fellas like us 25 or above, it'll get boring quick
