Cartoon graphics is a pro.

Think of Borderlands, TF2 and League of Legends. Cartoon, adult and creative.

The cartoon graphics I reckon are a pro, cartoon graphics show the game is very creative. Imagine Borderlands but with realistic visuals (which it was meant to originally be), realistic, demented looking creatures? It'd look ridiculous, but when Gearbox put in cartoon visuals, it allowed the game's developers to be creative but mature as well. Think of some stupid creatures in Borderlands, (Crawmerax for example). He has those large purplish glowy spots all over him, with the cartoon visuals, it looked serious but creative as well.

League of Legends had cartoon visuals as well, I believe Riot used cartoon visuals was to show it is different from its near clone and more followed competitor DotA. Cartoon visuals could help Fortnite to shown different to other games of its genre. (most likely L4D or Dead Rising, the trailer wasn't very clear on its set up.) If the visuals were like L4D, people'd just think 'Meh, just another L4D knock off or RE knock off.'

If someone who hadn't known that Team Fortress 1 was a realistic visual game, people'd think it's an exact clone of CS. Cartoon visuals in TF2 showed unique-ness because back when it launched, only a few games used cartoon visuals and had reached the player base of TF2.

Now, sum all these up. Have you ever seen a zombie, survival game? Yes, Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Resident Evil. Have you seen a cartoon one? In one case yes for me and that was Dead Block but it wasn't the best. Honestly, Fortnite looks unique and is pretty daring for Epic to make a new IP in a very big and serious croud. I'm probably one of the handful to think this game will be awesome.

I welcome this Graphical Style, in all honesty I am pretty sick of most Developers going with realism, I mean yeah it's cool and all but like others have said it doesn't really leave all that much room for creativity...

I agree with what the OP said. I play League of Legends and I never even played DotA... but I know it had realistic graphics for it's time. Same with Heroes of Newerth and soon DotA2 but LoL's cartoon-ish graphics is nice on the eye and allows for wacky creativity while staying mature.

Also think, Epic are quite risky, Bulletstorm was under alot of criticism for looking dumb and it turned out to be okay.

As long as the game is fun to play, I don't care what it looks like. Amazing graphics are great, but gameplay is far more important. I'm interested in this new game for sure.

OKay now I have that Rakk hive fight stuck in my head.

Anyhow I (WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!) am curious about how building in the game will take place

[Tear08]

You know, the more I think about it, the more I love the idea of the Graphics we've seen...mainly because after playing a hell load of Battlefield 3 and MW3, realism is losing it's charm, I mean sure it makes it more immersive, but at this point it's too much of the same...

League of Legends is a great game. I think the graphics on that game are really good.
