Taking all of this into consideration, it’s great to see Fortnite fans diving deeply into the tools Epic has provided with the new Creative Mode, as it could very well prove to be just the inspiration needed for young and budding developers to branch out and start creating games of their own. At any rate, we’re looking forward to discovering what all else the Fortnite community will be cooking up n
The mention of Fortnite was inevitable given the game’s unprecedented success – though it was more surprising to hear Activision Blizzard’s Chief Financial Officer Spencer Neumann mention it in relation to revenue. After reporting on the company’s better-than-expected first quarter earnings, Neumann noted that the company has “seen some near-term impact from Battle Roya
There appear to be two control options, similar to Fortnite : Simple and Advanced Mode. Simple will fire your weapon for you when you target an opponent, and Advanced provides full control without such assi
Despite this, and as with all mention of Fortnite during the call, Epic Games’ success was presented more as encouraging than threatening. There was much talk of the millions of new players Battle Royale has brought to the shooter genre, and even some hints from Kotick that Activision Blizzard will take inspiration from the genre with its upcoming tit
Of course, no single title is more relevant in the shooter genre than Epic Games’ cultural phenomenon Fortnite Battle Royale – a fact that Activision Game closure Blizzard immediately commented on during its Q1 financial review conference call yesterday. “Gaming is constantly evolving and innovating, which often expands the marketplace,” said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, “and the success of Fortnite is no excepti
Not too long ago, Epic Games decided to shake up the layout of Fortnite ‘s map once more by replacing Risky Reels with an area called The Block , which acts as a means to showcase player-made content from the free-to-play title’s new Creative Mode. With The Block now in place, fans have become inspired to show off their more imaginative sides by generating their own content for the game, with some now using the feature to remake classic Call of Duty m
So, while Activision Blizzard are in no danger of being significantly damaged by the financial competition posed by Fortnite , it’s clear that bosses are paying close attention to its success. The inspiration Kotick mentions may be further evidence that Black Ops 4 will have a Battle Royale mode , or may simply refer to Epic Games’ microtransaction mo
GTA: Chinatown Wars Lite: Grand Theft Auto’ s Chinatown Wars has been on the iPhone for some time now, but as an investment at $9.99. If you still haven’t made the jump because you are either unsure if it’s worth it or simply can’t afford it, well you now have an alternative. The free lite version is available in the app store now, so there’s no excuse to not partake in the thieving, drug peddling, gun wielding goodness that is Chinatown Wa
In addition, there still have not been any solid plans detailed about how the game will be monetized. As the game is expected to be a free-to-play entrant into the market, cosmetic items are all but sure to be included, as well as possibly loot bo
Blackout, the version of battle Royale used in this series, is a bit of an unknown at the moment. The mode has not yet been confirmed, only hinted at. It stands to reason that there has to be something to compete with the other big players in the battle royale market, unless the developers believe that classic modes of the Call of Duty series can compete with the popular modes of to
Gameplay promises to preserve the smooth-as-butter controls and rapid pace that fans have come to expect. Like the standard games, players still play to unlock new scorestreaks and a variety of equipment to customize their characters and loadouts. Call of Duty: Mobile doesn’t have a release date yet, but it will be available in North and South America as well as Europe. Players can pre-register now on the game’s website . Early birds will gain access to a public beta slated to begin this summer in select regi
As indicated by the tweets below, there are a wide range of different Call of Duty maps that are given the Fortnite treatment, with some of the more notable ones including versions of Nuketown, Modern Warfare 2 ‘s Rust, and Shipment. While it’s safe to presume that not every multiplayer map from the CoD franchise will get representation in Fortnite via its Creative Mode, should players remain diligent enough, then we may see loads more in the near fut
The iPad version houses the same features of the iPhone version – Challenge, Advanced and Self-Score. The difference? It looks a heck of a lot better on the iPad thanks to the real estate increase, and it’s $4.99 on iTu
Of course, Fortnite ‘s Creative Mode doesn’t have to solely be used as a means to recreate maps from other shooter franchises, as players can also choose to remake areas from the map that Epic decided to remove throughout the game’s ever-evolving lifespan. For instance, with Dusty Depot having fallen by the wayside after a meteor struck the map and turned it into Dusty Divot , fans could always use Creative Mode to recreate the area and show it off in its former gl
