Like little kids, we imagined a new Unreal Tournament game or a triple-A FPS/third person title that would push the graphical boundaries. In fact, after both Unreal Engine 4′s and Unreal Engine 3′s demonstration, we’d expecting for something mind-blowing. A Blade Runner game, powered by Unreal Engine 4? Who would say no to that? Fast forward a couple of months and here we are today, with Epic Games finally revealing the game that will be coming exclusively on the PC."
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney notes that the mobile gaming industry is "largely broken," and blames the 30% tax levied by Apple and Google.
Man has been saying this for ages and knows full well the only thing he wants is more money at Apple and Google's expense and absolutely none of this will result in lower prices for the consumer.
The epic games store charges a 12% tax and has been losing money for 5 years...that sounds dysfunctional.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney revealed that they have spent $1 billion fighting Apple and Google but adds it's a "smam price" to pay for freedom.
Fortnite on the Google Play Store would've generated over $1 billion in percentage fees for Google. Smart move.
I buy most my pc games through epic now. Don’t get me wrong I love steam and steam has had a lot of my money for the work they put into the platform. But i like what Epic are fighting for and they’ve been open about it from the very beginning. I wish they would sort out their verify/repair files option for when you format your drives. The whole rename/redownload hack is an absolutely awful archaic solution.
The FTC intervened in the legal battle between Epic Games and Google, after the latter was found guilty of antitrust violations with its Play Store.
People are hollering, but I expect the game to be a gem. We'll see. Could be wrong, but I don't think so. I don't think Bioware can afford another EA FUELED dumpster fire though
Epic is more of a MS 2nd party developer now days
One thing is Art Style other thing is Graphics my friend... Only when we see benchmarks of this game we can talk about performance and how much it pushes.
So people ask for novelty against sequels, and now you get novelty and ask for basically "the same, but bigger"?
Seriously, I hope Fortnite is what everyone doesn't expect it to be. I want surprise, I want the feeling that should be the most sought after: new generation implies new forms of playing, not just under better graphics but under most capacity. AssCreed is a fine example of new capacities from new consoles, so I expect the same surprises and evolutions.
Long live gaming.
It's way too early to be talking all this shit about Fortnight, what the hell? I'm excited to see more and hope for the best.
The future of gaming will always remain with console, because it is where the greatness of gaming as been since the PS1 era when the PS1 change the living rooms for all eternity. EPIC is smart to be telling sony and everyone to push the limits of the consoles and I know the PS4 will be able to run the unreal 4 better than any device in the earth.
PC will always be the game testing device and consoles will always be the place to play what as been tested HAHA.
