Fortnite - Everything we know!

[Hey You]

I'm really looking forward to the game, will most likely be the first Epic game I buy.

Is it me or does this look like valves Team fortess 2?

That's what I thought as soon as I saw it! Couldn't think any different!

[Leisure Muffin]

i want that game is there any kind of release date?

Seeing as there isn't even a publisher yet, I wouldn't expect it until 2013.

As much as it pains me to say it, I agree...as much as I'd love this game to be in Drive sooner, I don't think it'll even be gracing the Shelves for another year or so...but hey, a crap-ton of info would ease the pain...(!)

[Wriermati]

I cant wait for this game i hope that it will be on most platforms it surely looks worth to buy it (unless its free probably not)

I think the Multiplayer is going to be similiar to Minecraft and have a lot of players in and can grief ,team-up and build what ever you want anywhere in a randomly generated world

[Wikus]

And I also think Fortnite is definitely going to be on pc because CliffyB said they were going to work on pc games in the years to come

this looks like it could be incredible, really looking forward to hearing new info like release date, and more details about the game itself

Oh dear lord how good it'd be to have some information on this game...

Remember those Rage-Inducing-ly vague Tweets we had about Fortnite...?...Yeah, I'd kill for a couple more of those right now...

You may want to add this, or parts of it.

The creators of Gears of War and Unreal came to Comic-Con today to finally talk about their next game, Fortnite, a "a co-op sandbox survival game," according to producer Tanya Jessen.

Jessen says the new property is about exploration, scavenging gear, building fortified structures and fighting waves of encroaching monsters hellbent on killing you and your friends.

"Building is really the core of the game," Jessen says. "Everything you find allows you to build and improve your structure."

Epic showed playable prototypes of the game, showing multiple ways players will be able to upgrade weapons — in this case a crossbow that can be outfitted with explosives and electric shocks.

Design director Cliff Bleszinski revealed during the panel that Fortnite would be the first game to take advantage of the company's Unreal Engine 4 tech.

"This is a PC designed game, shipping exclusively on the PC," Bleszinski said.

Damn, I wish it was free form construction. I'll probably still buy because it looks good.

Maybe add this as well: https://twitter.com/therealcliffyb/s...99640035737600

"To be clear - Fortnite is PC primary and first, but we wouldn't rule out the possibility of other platforms later"

Seems to me like they are almost testing it out on pc first to see whats good/bad/popular.

Definitely buying this! i can see 3rd person working like in gears... was expecting fps tho. wonder if the melee weapons are going to flow in 3rd person. I'm also pretty curious about the whole blueprint setup. Are these preset buildings we get to chose from or are we constructing these blueprints as well? will we actually be tearing apart a world (minecraft)? or is it more about looting (borderlands)? i've seen both games referenced to this one. I've never had so many questions about a game!

[darksin]

Well, nothing to say...
