Fortnite Is Unvaulting Trios For Non-Competitive Modes

Joshua Robertson — Wed, 31 May 2023 20:40:52 GMT

Earlier this month, Fortnite vaulted Trios in what was seen as a pretty baffling move from Epic Games, even among those unfamiliar with the game itself. To make matters worse, Epic offered up very little in way of an explanation as to why Trios was taken away, leaving fans pretty peeved considering a lot of people were made to play in Squads and forced to find an extra player if they wanted to keep their gang together.

Andrew King — Fri, 26 May 2023 18:00:16 GMT

Fortnite Fans Aren't Happy About The Kinetic Blade Being Vaulted

Josh Coulson — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:50:09 GMT

Epic really hasn't been having much luck when it comes to adding new items to Fortnite during its current chapter. After waving goodbye to the Shockwave Hammer, the studio attempted to introduce the Kinetic Blade. Now that has been vaulted too, possibly for good, and players aren't happy about it for a number of reasons.

Fortnite Nerfs Grenades After Five Years

Josh Coulson — Thu, 25 May 2023 09:09:38 GMT

Most weapons in Fortnite have been nerfed and buffed multiple times over the years, but not the grenade. Five years on, Fortnite's grenades have dealt the same amount of damage to players and buildings as they always have. That's until now as Epic has rolled out its first nerf in half a decade.

It can be difficult to keep your kids entertained for an entire day, especially when the weather outside is less than appealing.

When Will Fortnite's Graphics Get The Respect They Deserve?

Stacey Henley — Fri, 05 May 2023 14:30:15 GMT

I haven't played Fortnite in a long time, but I've always admired it from afar. Shooters in general aren't my thing, and Fortnite's fast-paced, ever-changing meta just didn't grab me. I remember when the game was the butt of the joke, a childish game in a genre for tough, sweaty men. Everyone has chilled out a bit now, and it's just another video game. But what it doesn't get enough credit for is how gorgeous a video game it is, and how it has managed to create a strong artstyle even as it leans on IP crossovers. For evolving storytelling and immersive experiences, Fortnite is top of the class. It doesn't try to be photorealistic, and for that reason it often gets overlooked, but Fortnite is one of the best looking games on the planet.

Fortnite Players Have Solved Darth Maul's Lightsaber Problem

Josh Coulson — Thu, 04 May 2023 10:42:15 GMT

It's May 4, so naturally Fortnite has expanded its roster of available Star Wars skins. Actually, it added new characters to the mix a couple of days early, welcoming Anakin Skywalker and Darth Maul to the fold. You'd have likely assumed Darth Maul would have come with his iconic double-ended red lightsabers, but no. The Darth Maul skin comes with a halberd for some reason, but thankfully, players with a deeper Fortnite knowledge have (sort of) fixed that.

Darth Maul Uses Halberd Instead Of Lightsaber In Fortnite, Confusing Everybody

James Troughton — Tue, 02 May 2023 11:21:16 GMT

When you think of Darth Maul, you think of a horned red villain with black markings across his face, adorned in a long robe, wielding a halberd, right? No? That's probably because his signature weapon is a double-sided lightsaber. It was his whole thing back in The Phantom Menace.

Fortnite Update Hints At Another Volcano Eruption Event

Josh Coulson — Tue, 02 May 2023 10:30:44 GMT

Fortnite's map has evolved so much during its almost-six years since launch that not only is it unrecognizable, but just about everything you could imagine has been a part of it. It's only natural Epic start reintroducing elements we've seen before, and the next example of that could be a brand new Fortnite volcano. That's certainly what some of its players think as the theories start to stack up and the datamining discoveries begin to back them up.

PlayStation's Ten Live Services Will Be "Different Genres"

Josh Coulson — Mon, 01 May 2023 12:34:59 GMT

PlayStation has been one of the best studios for single-player story-driven games for a number of years now. Hence why its acquisition of developers that focus largely on live service games, and confirmation it will deliver ten games of that ilk over the next few years, might be a little surprising. Shedding a little light on what to expect from its live service era, PlayStation has made it clear its dectet of upcoming games will all be different genres that will hopefully appeal to entirely different audiences.

Fortnite Finally Unvaults Old Submachine Gun

Josh Coulson — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 14:42:23 GMT

Combat, burst, primal, there have been a lot of SMGs in Fortnite since it launched.

That's why confirmation the OG SMG has finally been unvaulted has gone down a storm with what appears to be the vast majority of you.

James Troughton — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 10:15:15 GMT

Every video game is getting a movie or TV show these days, so it's no surprise that Fortnite has its own ideas for an adaptation.

The Red Cross Is Asking Players To Stop Committing War Crimes In Games

Josh Coulson — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 10:33:29 GMT

A lot of popular video games are rooted in players picking up controllers and fighting in virtual wars. Not only does that describe every single Call of Duty game ever made, but its battle royale spinoff is quite literally called Warzone. With that in mind, you might think playing games like that without committing war crimes is impossible. However, streamers have been working with The International Committee of the Red Cross to prove it could and should be done.

Fortnite Players Split Over Whether Lock On Pistol Makes Killing Too Easy

Josh Coulson — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 10:41:34 GMT

Fortnite dataminers discovered the Lock On Pistol in the game's files last week. The pistol has now been added to the game via this week's update, and early indicators drop it right into the same box as most other new Fortnite weapons.

Fortnite's Coachella Is A Charming Yet Broken Mess Of An Event

Jade King — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 16:45:16 GMT

Coachella has come to Fortnite! I’ll be real that I didn’t give much of a shit until I discovered that Porter Robinson was going to be performing and have some of his work incorporated in the world of Fortnite.

Josh Coulson — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 09:51:36 GMT

Fortnite has played host to some pretty impactful weapons over the years. You could even get your hands on Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet at one point. While it won't wipe out half of all life with a snap of your fingers, the Mythic Havoc Pump Shotgun also packs a punch. Well, it packs a little less punch now as this week's update has nerfed the powerful gun.

Fortnite Has Finally Added Markers For Tracked Quests

Sean Murray — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 16:08:38 GMT

Josh Coulson — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 10:05:40 GMT

If you've been playing Fortnite as long as I have, you'll remember, a time long before it became a battle royale crossover juggernaut, aim assist and various tweaks to it were a hotly debated topic. While that debate has been mostly left in the past, a similar one may arise next week when the Lock On Pistol is added to the game. A brand-new weapon that does exactly what the name suggests.

Rhiannon Bevan — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 11:59:42 GMT

When it comes to the holidays, Fortnite usually goes all out for Halloween and Christmas and adds smaller offerings for other significant dates on the calendar. Take Easter, for instance.

The Problem With Live-Service Sequels

Stacey Henley — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 14:00:16 GMT

In the modern day, games can broadly be split into two categories. There are self-contained, single-player experiences, and then there are expansive online playgrounds that run seasonal events, have timed objectives, and develop over the course of their lives with major updates. God of War, Assassin's Creed, and Citizen Sleeper might vary in size and runtime, but they each aim to be self-contained experiences. Meanwhile you have Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Final Fantasy 14 which are intended to be played on a loop with evolving developments to a neverending story, as well as repeated activities for you to come back. But now a lot of live-service games are reaching the end of their life cycle naturally, challenging what we know about these two distinct groups - so what does that mean for the future?

Jade King — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 16:15:14 GMT

It can be easy to dismiss Fortnite for its enduring popularity. It’s all about the pesky zoomers and endless crossovers, so cynical onlookers can label it as the mainstream anomaly that keeps on trucking no matter what. It’s so much more though, and Epic Games has proven over the years that what was once a battle royale cash-in has the power to change the world of video games forever. In a way it already has, establishing in its confines how a metaverse could look moving forward while exposing the huge potential of game development to an audience of young players with a thirst to jump into the medium.

Fortnite has been through an awful amount of changes over the years, so much so that the game's current map is almost unrecognisable from what it started out as.

I Would Love To See Epic Do A Cohesive Map In Fortnite

Andrew King — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 17:30:15 GMT

When Epic teased Fortnite's new season a few weeks ago, I was stoked to see the battle royale game get a cyberpunk makeover. But after thinking about Fortnite's approach to map design, I quickly realized that this cool new metropolis would only be taking over one portion of the map. Sure enough, when I booted the game up, the cyberpunkening had come to one small section, Mega City, a dense and highly vertical sector that fills the same role Tilted Towers has in the past.

Does Anyone Else Feel Like You're Wasting Time When You're Playing Multiplayer Games, Like Halo Infinite And Fortnite?

Andrew King — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 18:00:15 GMT

I'm a goal-oriented person. Before a new year starts, I take a few hours to write out resolutions for every area of my life (like this promise to beat 52 games in 2023). I've made resolutions and failed enough times in the past that I now review those goals each week on a Monday to make sure I'm sticking to them, while every evening, I make a to-do list for the next day in the Notes app. When I complete them, I put little fire emoji next to them. But I can’t do this with multiplayer games.

Imani's Banner Art Brings A Personal Touch To Fortnite

Andrew King — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 18:00:14 GMT

Fortnite's Chapter Four Season Two battle pass boasts a brilliant banner of the latest original character Imani, a Black woman with dreads rendered in a cel-shaded aesthetic, sitting by her window in Mega City, surrounded by clutter. Though Mega City feels a little clean and sterile for my cyberpunk tastes, this art by comic artist Brandon Graham goes a long way toward selling the idea that these quiet, lived-in moments are happening in the new metropolis, just out of sight.

Chapter 4 Season 2 of Fortnite introduced a neo-Tokyo theme, comprising an entire city covered in massive buildings, neon lights, and grind rails.

Vaspaan Dastoor — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 12:47:12 GMT

Battle Royale games, while extremely popular, propagate one of the worst practices in video game development – copying everything any other dev does. The genre itself was copied by numerous studios once PUBG became extremely popular. Soon, concepts, characters, and entire game modes were being copied by everyone. For instance, once Escape from Tarkov became the next big thing, numerous battle royales, Warzone most notably, decided to add an Extraction mode. The latest one of these is a change in perspective.

Biggest Video Game News Of The Week (February 18 - 24)

Josh Coulson — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 20:21:58 GMT

Unlike that week when Nintendo decided to drop bombshell after bombshell during its Direct, even though this week included a State of Play, the headlines for the past seven days were far from dominated by it.

No offense, Tchia.
