We Should Have Heard About The Rock's Big Video Game Movie By Now

Josh Coulson — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 14:30:18 GMT

I’m not sure if you heard, but The Rock is making a big, badass video game movie. Well, at least I think he is. It's been 18 months since the wrestler-turned-movie star casually dropped that reveal during an interview, revealing he was working on an adaptation of a video game he has been playing for years, promising to do good by gamers. I love The Rock, but those words filled me with a fear that hasn't really subsided in the year and a half since I read them.

Kyle Chamaillard — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 05:30:18 GMT

When online multiplayer began rising in popularity on home consoles in the early 2000s, Nintendo was one of the last major companies to implement it into its software.

Nintendo Could Make An Incredible Competitive Multiplayer Mode For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Andrew King — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 13:54:15 GMT

I’m 95 hours into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and I keep getting blown away by what the game is. An improvement on a predecessor I thought was basically perfect. Ridiculously deep, with robust building systems, endless Fuse options, and long, well-written side quests. And as good a story as Zelda has ever told, with a potently tragic narrative. But when I attempted the shrine overlooking Tarrey Town, I had my first thought about what the game should be: a competitive arena battler.

Tessa Kaur — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 16:30:17 GMT

The trial between Microsoft and the FTC revealed a lot about the inner workings not only of Microsoft, but also its biggest competitor, Sony.

No other games, just Call of Duty.

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.

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.

Fortnite Nerfs Grenades After Five Years

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Jesús Cruz — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 16:15:15 GMT

Every time Fortnite gets into a new season, the game gets many new mechanics to spice things up and avoid making the game repetitive. This formula has two options; Epic Games can either recover older mechanics to mix them with the new perks of the season, or they can come across a fresh and unique idea to put into the game and make things change.

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?

Fortnite's Unreal Editor Tools Are Going To Change Video Games Forever

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 Chapter 1 Map Returns With Creative 2.0 Update

Joshua Robertson — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 21:39:23 GMT

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. There have been so many revisions and new additions - the most recent being the Mega City that came with the new season - that it's difficult to imagine what Fortnite looked like all the way back in Chapter 1. Thankfully, we don't have to imagine any more.

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.

James Kennedy — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 22:30:14 GMT

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.

Fortnite Fans Call On Epic To Fix Mystica's Head

Josh Coulson — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 15:53:44 GMT

Fortnite Fans Are Making Fun Of The Ageless' Disappearance In The New Season

Josh Coulson — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 13:30:47 GMT

When a new season begins in Fortnite, the focus automatically and understandably goes to what's new. However, a new season also means departures, one of which takes the form of a character quietly disappearing to kick off season two. All of a sudden The Ageless is nowhere to be seen on the island, and many of you have been poking fun at their disappearance and the character being massively upstaged by the arrival of Mega City.

Fortnite Players Are Sad That They Can't Destroy Mega City With A Cow Catcher

Vaspaan Dastoor — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 08:13:59 GMT

Chapter 4 Season 2 of Fortnite introduced a neo-Tokyo theme, comprising an entire city covered in massive buildings, neon lights, and grind rails. The futuristic rendition of Tokyo, Mega City, is the flashpoint of the battle royale's latest season, and features all sorts of neat features and secrets. In fact, Epic Games has put so much behind this new season, that it didn't feel the need to introduce any crossover skins. Season 2 has given players a mini-metropolis to play around with, and naturally, all they want to do is destroy it.

Fortnite has entered a new stage of its life and something completely fresh is here to shake things up.

Fortnite Players Aren't Fans Of Chapter 4 Season 2's New Rogue Bike

Vaspaan Dastoor — Sat, 11 Mar 2023 11:55:35 GMT

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, Mega, will be based on neo-Tokyo – a futuristic version of the city. Neo-Tokyo is actually an anime trope, mostly used when a show or movie is based in the future. Think Cyberpunk, but bright and happy, instead of dark and dreary. Of course, with a futuristic setting comes futuristic vehicles; and what's more neo-Toko than a motorbike? You've driven them around in Cyberpunk 2077, and now you can experience Fortnite's version. Unfortunately. Where Cyberpunk 2077's bikes were buggy, Fortnite's are just plain bad.
