Why is this game so hideous looking? What's this art style even called?

>>390048057
Well, it looks like a PUBG clone. But with building mechanics.
Actually, I like the art style very much, I'll admit it.

I can't even remember when I last saw a post that used the word incredible in a positive manner. People just don't write like that, op. You didn't do your homework.

I was going to post a thread out of sheer luls, but realized I'd look like a shill. The monetizaton model of Fortnite is so fucking bad they had to shoehorn in PUBG real quick to try and recover.

Is this the start of a bunch of PUBG clones like what happened after CoD 4 was released?

>>390048469

Quick, which modern multiplayer game would have the worst integration of Battle Royale?

Ended up being better overall, but still a clone

This. I even put up with Evolve, but I'm not going to play Fortnite. It's like if you played Monster Hunter and all the farming you do is to get crafting materials, but you can't craft anything unless you get lucky with your daily loot crate that you grinded 2 hours to get. Fuck. That.

isn't this game extremely pay2win with all the blueprint gacha shit?

just make a moba survival base building battle royale rogue like that looks like TF2 already you sick fucks

>>390048985
yes. You can get literally 0 weapons outside of what the game gives you from quests if you have bad enough luck. You can get pre-crafted weapon drops from other people but lol good luck with that shit unless you know them personally.

Then there's the whole heroes are randomly acquired too, and the skills they have are random on top of that unless you get the best rarity which has every rarity of every version before it.

Oh and "skins" don't exist, you have to get a brand new hero for that so I fully expect them to sell the best rarity heroes with new skins for like $100 each for the foreseeable future. I'd be amazed if this shitheap makes it out of early access.

Then again they totally fucked paragon to a point where even the streamers who play it 24/7 are starting to hate it and have shown no remorse for their actions so they might just fold as a company.

>>390048980
Yeah, it's real unfortunate because the very base gameplay of Fortnite is very fun. Even this new Survive the Storm mode. You can enter a 14 Day survive mode that can take 5 hours, and you know what you get from your 5 hour timesink? MAYBE some Epic schematics, maybe. The time/reward ratio in Fortnite is fucking god awful and the fact that EVERYTHING is RNG does not help.

>>390049241
I can imagine every game publisher in the world furiously demanding "the next PUBG" right now

>because PUBG was so succesful, there's going to be a massive onslaught of similar games that copy the idea

Fucking this.

This is very sad to be honest, game isn't even finished and yet instead to actually completing it, they add whatever is popular trying to save their plummeting playerbase.

I dropped the $40 on Fortnite due to having a buddy to play it with and wanting to look at that thick, curvy chick with the hammer. Game is fun, but the P2P RNG fest is awful and I don't recommend it at this point.

You forgot it has crafting, zombies, and building also. We just need to somehow get them to adopt more of a character over-designing process like Battleborn and we might have a winner.

no zombies?

>>390050041
I played it for around 8 hours. The gunplay felt weak, the building was frustrating because any semblance of a winding path would just make the zombies break through stuff, the crafting was poorly explained and the constant stream of meaningless collectibles made the whole thing a headache
It didn't even attempt to try anything new in the entire game. It's like it was designed by comity to maximise cashshop sales

So far the PS4 has no battle royalle shitfest game, so if they can be the first ones out and secure their place they could end up making a lot of money.

xbone doesn't have one yet either.
I don't know why h1z1 slogged behind so hard. They had betas for the PS4 version of king of the kill and survival mode up and running last year, and never launched them officially then shut down the beta servers. Now pubg is coming to xbone, and no doubt ps4 next year or whenever the contract expires.

>>390048057
This is actually big news. Epic is the first AAA dev to recognize BR.
Expect standalone BR games from EA and ubisoft in the near future.

>>390051119
still not buying your game

>>390051172
You can build your own little fort.
So the game is all about getting in the center of the circle and predicting where the game will end to build your little camping spot there.

>>390050431
actually if they do it right, it can be a really good game

>>390051217
I do.

Take Unreal for example (that Fortnite uses).

Crate a basic landscape, tie in foliage to a material and just pain it with different layers.
Add static meshes to the map (houses, etc).
Create a character pawn class, tie in the animations and shit, etc.
Just add a basic inventory system with pickups and shit.
Make the player count 100.
Etc.

All in all it's not a complicated game to make. Far easier than making say an RPG.

>>390051553
>just press buttons on keyboard
>make game

Pretty easy, honestly.

>>390050431
>>390050894
>>390051463
I'm going to guess it will be a mode in Survive, if the engine can handle that many players. MGO3 is like, 12v12?

>>390049241
>begins
How fucking new are you?

>>390051872
It can handle that many. The issue is konami doesn't want it to handle more than 12v12 because more than that and the nature of DLC increasing individual player power becomes less apparent. 12v12 is traditionally studied and proven as the maximum size in a match that players will remember other player's names longer than the duration of a match. Konami hopes you'll see someone using a DLC/paid for weapon, remember their name, look at what they used, then buy it.

>>390049591
It's backfiring tho. Early access is really diving the haves and have-nots to a whole new degree

>>390051553
So if it's so easy to make a multi-million dollar printing machine, why the fuck don't you?

If you don't know how to make videogames then I guess that's why a battle royalle game would seem difficult to make.

I mean you don't have to focus on shit like AI at all, yet you think this is somehow a challenge?

>>390052137
You're missing the point. The game itself is easy to make.

I personally have 0 interest in battle royalle games so I would never work on one. I got into the industry because I like making games.

>>390052768
>>i could be successful but i simply don't have the inclination

If I wanted to mindlessly pursue soulless success money I would work on mobile games.
The reason I re-educated myself and started working in game development is because I just couldn't take working with shit I didn't give 2 shits about anymore.

>Pray tell, what obscure magnum opus are you working on?

Can't say. It's an RPG though, something that interests me.

But all of this is beside the point anyway, the point is that a battle royalle game is very easy to develop compared to most types of games. It's basically 1 big level and 1 player character.

THIS

Obviously the 'parachute to wherever you want on the map' mechanic would have to be reworked somehow but the rest of game translates over pretty well. You could forage around villages to find new weapons, armour and food which would slowly regenerate health and keep your energy up, allowing you to run slightly faster and catch up with fleeing enemies. Ammo for ranged weapons would be relatively limited so it's not a death sentence if you don't find a shield. Horses could spawn in stables and be used to traverse the map more quickly. Castles with usable gates and portcullises could be used as temporary shelter before the killzone closes in, forcing everyone into close proximity.

>>390049502
I can see it.I kind of want that now.

What's even funnier is how you keep focusing on this and not the point itself, logical fallacies ahoy.

>>390049394
Battle royale isn't new, PUBG just popularized it to a severe degree that it's just gained a shit ton of traction.

In Unreal Engine you can make a basic battle royalle game in under 1 hour. Just use the the 3rd person template to save time, add the free 3rd person shooter animation pack from Epic, set up animation montages, add the shooting and projectile logic, create the landscape using the built in tool, create the win-con and you're done.

Now all you need to do is pretty it up with some better looking static meshes to replace your brushes and mannequin.

I'm an amateur that's gonna apply for game dev classes next spring but even I could slap together a battle royalle game.

>>390055071
lawbreakers IS cliffy b though. It's literally what he's been working on the last 2 or 3 years.
Paragon was doing really well for epic, believe it or not. It was making somewhere in the range of ~$100,000 a month from ps4 sales of coins alone. But they lost well over 70% of their playerbase going on matches played numbers on the fansites scraping around, with the new update that changed literally everything about the game.

fortnite launched and was met with a resounding meh by everybody who realized the game is actually unfinished and in beta and not just a demo like 99.9999% of other "early access" games released nowadays. So when they hit canny valley and the quests stop coming, they get bored (rightfully so), and then regular people who only spent $40 and didn't get 800,000 llamas for free get pissed because their best gear is a single orange and maybe some purples, and a ton of blues that stop doing enough damage part way through stonewood.

I lost all interest in this game when I noticed two things:

1) It's really fucking easy. I don't remember seeing any streamers fail a mission and if streamers can breeze through your game then you know it's really easy
2) There's an absurd amount of loot and things to level up to the point that it's overwhelming. It's like they realized people like getting loot so they shower you with a lot pieces of gear every time you open a pack but the shit inside is so underwhelming that going through all the loot looks like a chore.

How do you introduce the circle mechanic? You could do it literally with an encroaching circle of mist. Spend too long in it and you're KO'd / the Skulls jump you or something.

>>390057254
Much like H1Z1 epic is hedging their bets. If the battle royale mode works well, no reason NOT to cut the "main" mode off entirely, since they fucked it up beyond recognition in the 2 months since the fucking game launched. If it doesn't, oh well it was an "experiment" and they redouble efforts to try and get back the tenso f thousands of players they lost.

>>390057008
Set it on a fob and have the platforms demolished as the match progresses.

>>390054413
This is true. There's absolutely zero difficulty in creating a game like this. You don't have to think about anything. The only part you can possibly fuck up is netcode, optimization and player control smoothness, which amazingly PUBG fucked up all three.

wasn't it f2p, you also can craft and its not a buggy piece of shit like PUBG that lags on high end cards, how can they compete?

>>390055238
they didn't. same happened with ARK a week ago, everyone who knew just refunded

>>390057561
it's not f2p yet. It's going f2p "sometime in 2018". If this is remotely successful they'll no doubt push up f2p to be much sooner to try and get the most money they can.

>>390057851
pretty much. h1z1 basically fills that niche though. Not f2p (because f2p is cancer and actually costs significantly more money than you get 99% of the time) but it's basically f2p. $15 which is half the price of pubg.

Yeah, circle of mist works, though spawning in skulls might be a tad unrealistic. I really like PUBG's mechanic, where the circle hurts you over time, that might work here without making major changes.

>>390057487
This is a cool idea, too. Though the FOB is way too open. Those long bridges between platforms would be terrible.

Maybe cluster the platforms together with small bridges between, like this?

I don't want to be that fucking guy but you can make zombies avoid tiles or walk around them by building a half floor, wall and stairs on it because the AI looks at how much wall HP/tiles are between them and the objective and they take the shortest route.
Like this.

Ok I gave this shit a shot as someone who's been playing normal Fortnite for a bit.
The good:
>Crouching, even crouch running which doesn't exist in the main game
>Tedkits which are the same as PUBG's
>Traps can be set up to fuck up other players which is super fun
>can build hideouts
>weapons feel poweful
>the map is 100x better than the tiny flat blocky maps in base fortnite
The bad:
>Player built walls, even metal ones, have next to no HP
>There are no rewards for playing the mode
>No character customization
>No squad play
>No swimming so the islands off the sides of
the main mass are pointless RN
>No player abilities like the base game

It doesn't need player abilites because it would be impossible to balance but it would be cool if each class was in with 1 generic strength like ninjas can still double jump.
I don't hate it and it's nice to get to play a game that I think looks and feels good free from the Lllama jew menace.

Nah, it's 1 damage ticks initially that ramp to 2 damage if you take too long. The problem is the fact that it goes too fast once it's quite small.

It's been in Alpha/Beta state for 6 years now. Not including internal testing prior to that.

I was originally interested in this because it was going to be free to play. Then I learned it's only going F2P at official release in like 2018 and you have to pay to get into the alpha/beta.

>>390064263
It's a shame they don't let you pick your character.
>TFW can't be Penny running around smacking everyone with a huge hammer

>>390064343
Giant fucking wall has piss for HP, but yes. The environment is also very wacky, cause the base game has no curved surfaces. They use a snap-grid system for all building placements, so if you place shit on the curve of a hill, most of it will default to inside the ground on a lower snap-point cause the ground isn't high enough.

>>390064352
As far as I can tell it's all soldiers and they have way more recolors than the main game and absolutely no skills at all.

MAYBE they'll add in some of that.
I'd like it if:
>Ninjas double jump
>Constructors build faster/more HP buildings
>Soldiers reload a little faster
>Outlanders run faster

>>390064680
Eh. I'd prefer if they left it as is. It's in a fine spot mechanically. Making it so different body types have different bonuses is a dangerous game. Especially when there's no Stamina. In that scenario, Soldiers would be the only ones played because every second not spent shooting is a second spent dying.

Keep it simply and to the point. This crafting shit in games needs to fucking die already, its not fun running around gathering resources just to get a basic fucking function like getting a weapon. Also
>spin off version of a game that isnt even close to retail release
What the fuck is happening.

>>390066013
Nope. The "spin-off" is just a separate game mode coupled with the base product.
Also, the base product is not even half done, which is downright aggravating.
>All 4 major game areas use the same tilesets for all map variants (Forest, Plains, City, Urban, and Industrial variants in each area all use the same ones, which are supposed to be the first area only)

There is no crafting in the PVP mode.

Ammo and med-kits and bandages are all found the same way. The only higher complexity is the fact you can build shit and half the time, it's faster to just q, plop down a wall, q, fight.

Yes because the biggest thing wrong with this game is that Gaben doesn't have his fat dick rubbed all over it.

I forgot a bit. You do need to use your Pick on buildings and objects to get wood, stone, and metal to make the walls, but that takes a few seconds to get a decent amount on top of it dropping from chests and spawning in piles in the world. Chests take 1 second to loot as well. You can carry up to 5 things as well as up to 999 (you won't in this mode unless you sit around farming instead of hunting like a retard) of the building materials.

Explain how so many people are playing it, its the most played game out there as far as videogames go by a fairly wide margin. Youre not going to sell this game on the premise of "well It runs good". Youre not talking about your game youre talking about a popular competitor and how you are like them, "but better!" which is fucking pathetic, that never works out, never once. Thread reeks of marketer.

Noone is talking about Fortnite. Noone ever talked about Fortnite, its more of everything youve seen before but with a cheap feel to it, just make another game, this one died on its ass.

actually that's wrong

when too many husks group up (like too many on a tile) they will spread and attack what ever is in front of them regardless of tile hp defenses, so making one tile thin corridors wont help, only slow them down since they all cant fit thru the tunnel

so why bother making a tunnel anyway, just make layers of that (picture) defense to save ammo and time(only shield defense waves with kill # is excluded...since you have to kill them)

Do people even play this? It came as quickly as it went I thought, and noone ever really talks about it. I would be very surprised if this has a healthy community on any platform since literally noone mentions it or streams it

>>390048057
they're marketing the game as a badass Game.

Yeah you don't make tunnels, what you want to do is knock husks off ledges with push traps wherever you can and make walls like this to make husks walk towards a designated crumple wall that you defend and you may even want an extra layer of walls behind that one.

I was refuting that you can't force husks to walk around walls, you can but not great distances.

Yeah, all of Plankerton is supposed to look like an Autumn forest like the SSD is, same with Canney Valley is meant to be a desert but they're all just the same levels. It's just sad, Fortnite has such great potential yet Epic's greed is completely holding it back.

just shows how incompetent devs are today, not expecting people to rush to endgame shit as fast as possible...even in a "free2play" game
this game has been in dev for like 6-7 years at somepoint they just changed fucking everything they originally did and made it this model because so many other games like it have been "successful", lol
fools

Its a fantastic game thats being killed by an rng card system that would make even the chinese blush.

Their main team wasnt working on battle royale, the Unreal Tournament team worked on it

>sniper bullets are slow as fuck and drop super hard
>ARs don't have scopes so you have to just ADS and hope the inaccuracy isn't that bad
The best part seems to be the building aspect but the combat looks really shit from streams.

Yeah, and the REAL Bioware team didn't make Andromeda.

I'm kidding of course, but an argument can be made that if they had a second team to put on Fortnite why did they not get some of them to help develop[ the parts of the base game that are in dire need of improvement?

you just get dropped on the map, anywhere (ofc weather would have to be disabled) and you just go from there
that would be amazing 1900 1116

It'll be free next year, for now it's super special EARLY ACCESS that you definitely need to pay for.

Prepare to get bored of the PVP mode in a few hours and then realize the PVE mode is unfinished and tweaked to only reward people who pay them straight fucking cash.

I'm downloading the PS4 version and it crashed my game when I started the download, losing me like two hours of progress. I better fucking like it.

Does it have vehicles?
None of the streamers I've seen so far have used them.
