IGN : Epic recently added Spider-Man web shooters in Fortnite, so we decided to make a web slinging (or is it web swinging?) comparison video with Marvel's Avengers and Marvel's Spider-Man for PlayStation. Hope you enjoy!
While there is a Spider-Man skin in Fortnite, you don't have to be playing as him to use the web shooters. They're a mythic item that you can find around the map. Web swinging is a little more freeform than Marvel's Avengers, but you have to actually attach your web to an object in the environment to swing around. As you can see in this Spider-Man web swinging comparison, it can seem a little janky. But with some practice, you'll be web-zipping around the map in no time.
SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader in Fortnite claiming this was done without notification and has filed accordingly.
It's just a complaint, not a lawsuit, and it's completely unwarranted.
James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it.
So i don't know why SAG is getting involved as it makes it seem like they are going against james earl jones wishes or just wanted a cut...
They are concerned about A.I. replacing live talent. It's an unusual stance as you are correct; he left his voice and his family approved. The union is saying doing this versus using a live actor sets a bad precedent going forward. The use of A.I. has been a huge issue in the recent labor deals.
Well this is also an interactive AI Darth Vader that would have made live talent impossible unless they think a actor being in Fortnight 24/7 is an acceptable solution.
They should concentrate on cases that are possible to be done with live talent and that haven't been given blessing or sold by the original actor(for which they should have the right to sell)
"James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it."
I have to say if James approved this after his death... that would be... um...
Do you mean he approved it while he was alive for when he passed?
It's reported that he gave permission before his death and his estate(which i asume is his family) says so as well.
Because SAG-AFTRA are trade unions. They are the Hollywood mafia protecting their profits from anything they feel could undermine them. It's all about the almighty dollar, not artists.
James Earl Jones doesn't own the character, though. He essentially said the owners of the IP can use his voice however they wish, not everyone.
The saga of the legal battle that sees Epic Games fight Apple in the attempt to bring Fortnite back to iOS has just gained another chapter.
Epic: "Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it."
They did win in court, but so far the result is the same. It will be interesting to see if anything changes.
To note, they technically ended up right where they were before. No one won in this. Just a ton of money wasted to end up right back where both companies were before.
Lmao 😂 Fortnite tried to bully apple out of its own existing policies so they themselves could make more money off apple users - then they threatened to pull Fortnite from apple. then apple said “we’re the most valuable company in the world, we’ll do it for you”.
Epic f**ked around and then found out. Lmfao.
"so they themselves could make more money off apple users"
That's not even true. Epic was allowing in-game purchase of V-Bucks for 30% cheaper by removing the portion that would have been Apple's cut. Epic was still making the same amount of money, not more, but they were trying to let users save money.
This one aged really well.
Looks like Apple f**ked around and then found out. Lmfao. 😂
It's so wild that people fawn on Apple for behavior they would lambast any other company for. Just shows how good Apple's marketing is that people will change their views in any direction to support them. It wasn't so many years ago people were attacking Sony over much milder actions related to Fortnite monetization.
Poor little Epic playing the victim card. I mean if any small company tried to do what they did, they'd be permanently blacklisted from app stores.
That long arse momentum reduction (almost a pause even) at the end of swings in Avengers is bad bad bad and just makes it clunky and slower than other movement options in the game. Just jumping around while running is faster.
