The new season's graphics are noticeably improved on the new map.

iraqmilner887d ago

Agreed! I'm impressed with the visual fidelity of Fortnite. It sure is one polished title!

Eonjay887d ago

Can anyone verify if this is exclusive to current gen or also available of Xbox One and PS4?

TimmyTesticles887d ago

Waste of the technology, using it for such a cartoony game.

Can't wait to see it used as intended someday.

thesoftware730887d ago

So Epic builds a great engine, uses it on their biggest game and somehow it's a waste of the tech?

So much nonsense in. your comment it's a shame

Inverno887d ago

I think the meme of hating on Fortnite was lost in translation and now people hate it for reals. Plus cartoony games are perfect for engine showcases. We've been pushing for Pixar and we're finally there

I'm pretty much over Fortnite... wish the had expanded with Save the World. That was worth the time invested until they stopped curating it.
That said, you cannot deny that Fortnite is impressive for what it is. Epic has done a good job working this title.

Well, this take is about what should be expected from testicles.

The Matrix Awakens new "Unreal Engine 5 Experience" releases in just over an hour for PS5 and Series X. No PC release though, which I think is strange. It says it will showcase the power of the new hardware, along with Unreal Engine 5.

thejigisup887d ago

Odd, im on ps5 and it says 11 hours and 34 minutes

franwex887d ago

Well Epic needs a game to demonstrate it in real life. Why not their most famous one to show investors and developers? It shows that they stand behind it.

Why does this need to be explained anyway?

It's Epic's flagship game, it should be the first one to get that upgrade

Magog887d ago

It's just an extension and improvement on UE4. I doubt Fortnite is using all the new features.

SDuck887d ago

Even so, it now has access to them

franwex887d ago

Just how UE4 was from UE3.

Epic Games Faces $1.2 Million Fine Over "Unfair Practices," Plans to Fight Back

Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.

Sciurus_vulgaris11h ago

It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.

franwex3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

But if they did pay it, then they are basically admitting that they did something they weren’t supposed to be doing. If they fight it, they may win and continue to have a sense of urgency for their micro transactions thus making more money long term.

Yeaaa... no. It's cool to say that you got it running as a bragging right, but this is completely unusable. I like how he hits the screen while trying to type! X'D

Too bad for the best fps there is atm...

The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
