Epic and their new game - Fortnite

[UnderCoverGuest]

Oh yay, zombies...

I just got back from the Mass Effect 3 trailer, so I've used up all my sardonic sarcasm. Also, I disagree with post number 3 up there; anytime 'Sir' is used in a text based retort, it's pretty cunty...surprised I typed that word. I'm even more rhetorically surprised that I bothered posting this, but I guess I want my inbox to be full of hatred the next time I visit the Escapist to watch some Zero Punctuation, updated every Wednesday afternoon, central standard time!

Oh boy! Minecra- oh. Oh boy! Team Fortre- oh... Right.

Eh, I'll give it a go, looks okay at a stretch...

Well from the title and trailer, I'd guess that you have a day to scavenge materials and build a fortress and then you have to fight zombies until morning. Then in the morning you have to repair everything and improve it for the next night. Could be fun with co-op, but I can't see it being more than a downloadable/arcade game, especially with how it looks and how shallow it's bound to be.

"Douche" and "bro" image?

When I think of Epic, I still think of

*sigh* My childhood...

In regards to the trailer though, it actually looks kinda neat. Difficult to comment much on it yet though, as it doesn't actually show too much.

What's with the outbreak of post-apocalyptic games nowadays? The idea's starting to get very boring.
The trailer doesn't say much at all, so we can't really make a judgement on it yet.

Epic made 'Jazz'!? Wow, mind = blown!

Anyway to me it seems like Epic is taking a cue from Minecraft, mixed with some L4D.
I can imagine Fortnite being an absurdly fun co-op experience but I can just as easily imagine it failing miserably. I'm just hoping it's not a 360 exclusive so I can get a crack at it.

It looks like a wave/horde mode type game.

Kind of like a first person tower defense.

Meh

I haven't the slightest interest in this game, but it's their not they're

What you said is "Epic and they are new game- Fortnite" Which is incorrect, good sir.

At least you grammar nazi'd it without being a pretentious ****, which is how a lot of the grammar nazis come across as.

OT: Looks interesting, I guess. I'll wait and see for more info.

Can't tell if being sarcastic...

My soul intention for coming in this thread was to find out how many of these comments there was going to be.

Sole, not soul

...

Damn, I fell into the trap again, didn't I?

Ups, it´s fixed now, I usually dont make that mistake lol, at least I didnt wrote "alot" like a lot of people do

If you wrote "Alot" I would have declared war.

What is you're problem? Some people just make mistakes. Their trying the best that they can. Small mistakes happen. Its not the end of the world. I just see this kind of stuff alot on this site.

I was getting more of an alien/monster vibe than zombie from that trailer. Either way, this is the first time I've been interested in an Epic game.

 

[AugustFall]

Fortnite like Fort-Night, as in you build a fort and try and survive the night I imagine.

Could be good.

 

[skywolfblue]

Yeah thats sort of the vibe im getting. Minecraft mechanics with TF2 graphical aesthetics in a L4D scenario.

Agree. It looks kinda interesting. Though I'm not too excited about the zombies. It looks like it could be fun for a while, but I'm not sure if it would be enough to justify a full-fledged $60 title.

 

[Funkysandwich]

It could be the next Brink.

 

[SovietX]

The style reminds me of Monster Madness (one of the launch titles for 360 / Crappy PC port)

Not really interested in this. The trailer doesn't really tell me anything other than there will be zombies and some sort of building mechanic.

Yep, still not interested. Oh well. I dislike most EPIC games anyway.

 

[Zantos]

It looks pretty interesting, I'll probably check it out when I've got a bit of time and it's gone down in price. April release would be good for me.
