Fortnite Chapter 3 Gameplay Leaked - Receives a huge UE5 Upgrade

For real?

Which game modes are there besides BR and tr, and are they permanent?

You'll have to check yourself. Not sure how permanent they are but like I said, there's more than 70 at any given time. There are survival modes, racing, team deathmatches, capture the flag variants etc... I mostly stick to BR so I haven't checked out very many.

I even think there's a low/no building BR mode in there too.

Ch 3 is now live...
 
Oh fuck me I didn't leave my Epic shit open so now if I wanna play I have to download it first.

Guess it doesn't take that long.
 
I'm pretty decent when it comes to the actual fighting/shooting aspect, but totally fall apart when it comes to building out vs other players. I just accept it and enjoy the game for what i am good at. Also playing with my kids and helping them get victory royales is a great feeling.
I just used to camp until I was 1v1 and then I'd either pick off the survivor of the final fight before he could use a chug jug or if they saw me and built I would make sure I had a gas grenade to throw at the structure. 99% of the time they'd burst out weakened by the grenade and I'd just finish them with an AR. Must of racked up over 30 wins in solo just by using that noob tactic.
 
As someone who doesn't play Fortnite, Fornite players seem spoiled for choice with content. This all looks pretty cool.

Zoomer gamers especially got it pretty good. Could you imagine growing up with these types of games?

My equivalent was playing MUD on C64.

If you time travelled and showed me Fortnite aged 13 it would have blown my mind.

I think about this kind of stuff all the time. The ironic thing is they can't appreciate it the same way we can because we know how far games have come.

I grew up with Zelda 2 and 3 and now get to play BOTW.

My first shooters were Doom, Turok, and Goldeneye. I played the original COD when it first came out and it blew my mind, and now I get to play COD WZ.

It is crazy how kids today get to grow up with these games but I always appreciate how far games have come while they can't.
Would be insane showing and telling kid me about games are like today. I always dreamed about this kind of stuff: all of this interaction in a huge open world.

It's nuts how much content games today have, how polished they are, and how advanced technically they are.

Just imagine what games will be like in 10 or 20 years.



New map for this game today and new map for WZ later in the week. Gonna be fucking heaven. Need to stock up on the green stuff/some booze to make things extra fun and mind blowing ;)

That's a fair point, their perception would naturally differ from older gen gamers.
Although I'm sure there are retro gamers types even among gen Z as well. A niche that would appreciate older titles and tech.
I'm a millennial, and even I can recall times where I was really into playing and learning about older titles and consoles catalogues.

No kidding. I'm personally very excited about the prospects of the future VR titles.
Especially titles designed exclusively for the VR platforms. Seeing kids getting to grow up playing real commercial VR games is surreal.
I'm not saying it's all sunshine & rainbows, but there's very cool things happening in gaming. Fascinating stuff.
 
Might be placebo but game looks sharper on PS5. New map looks good from what I'm seeing (watching kids play but can't get in on pc, stuck in queue and when it launches I get disconnected).
I could get on pc earlier and tried RTX mode, and still loaded with graphical bugs and shitty performance (on a RTX2080 that is).

Are we sure this is on Unreal Engine 5? Would be nice to have a detailed breakdown on things.
 
Game has crashed my Series X twice. I am yet to actually get to play between the queue and the Xbox crashing during these 2 movies.
 
I need a comparison shot to see the difference. It looks good, but it does not look ''Oh this is UE5'' kind of good.

I realize that the artstyle does not help here, but even imagining the UE5 features, i am not seeing a whole lot that wouldn't be achievable with UE4.
This. Looks OK at best.
 
Wife and i got into the game on Series X fairly easily, wasn't a long wait... though i have to call around local stars trying to find Pokemon booster boxes for my son so can't play this just yet.
 
I can't believe i'm saying this, but i might actually spend more time with this than Battlefield... i skipped two Fortnite seasons and was hoping Battlefield would give me a nice change of pace from what i usually play but that isn't happening. (yet - still have hope) So i guess it's back to Destiny 2, Fortnite, and COD. Oh, and HALO!
 
I want to see the tornadoes and lightning strikes still haven't seem them yet. Maybe they'll be patched in later?
 
It definitely does feel a little more stripped down outside of adding slides like apex legends (and pretty much other game but these slides are long and can all the way down hill like Apex) ... you can no longer shake down an opponent to see their team mates. Enjoying the new stuff so far!
 
Does Fortnite have skill based matchmaking? Decided to try it out and got to 2nd place. The only thing people built was a wall or two. Usually on YouTube I see crazy fast building. I'm wondering if I didn't see a lot of building to due me being a new player...

Not sure about real recently but for quite awhile Fortnite would match people against bots very early sprinkled in with a few actual players until you got a few games under your belt.
 
Looks good. Shame out the original game mode (would love to mess around in this game with PvE).

Avengers on PlayStation got an exclusive Spider-Man skin that was just a reskin of Black Widow and had no real single player missions.

Fortnite which is on EVERYTHING gets a real Spider-Man skin just a couple of weeks later with Spider-Man gameplay.

Plays nothing like Black Widow. Like saying Kamala is a Widow reskin (or the other way around) because of their traversal mechanics.


I believe, in this context, they mean "low class." So basically gaming-gatekeeping.

Do bots have generic names? I seem to recall 2 people that I managed to kill had some crazy names mixed with numbers.

They can have some names that might be believable but they are for sure still in.

I just tried a round on my alt account that I havent touched in years and followed a bot for a long time just running into walls and gathering mats his name was Lucky123

Most people don't build except to climb. Sometimes at the final moments of the game people will build because they need cover in small spaces but generally building is not a big feature used.
 
No, I don't think that. I am saying that there isn't a big massive overhaul shift in visuals. I guess they just migrated, add some small things but kept it same for the most part.

I knew they were gonna migrate eventually, but I thought it was going to be later and would have looked different.

But as I said, with the game's art style there is no real need. I wonder if Sea of Thieves would ever migrate at some point.

I know Coalition has moved on to UE5 officially and working on the next Gears game along with a new IP so that will be fun to watch.

Whatever they do, I'm sure they have an eye on keeping as many devices compatible as possible. Could make a difference when compared to something on UE5 that is just targeting modern hardware.

Then there's the player at the end who builds a massive fort out of wood, but a few jars of fireflies takes care of that. Thank goodness they kept the fire in. 🔥
