With Fortnite feeling as new as ever , Chapter 3's island manages to feel brand new despite having a good amount of areas and assets from Chapters 1 and 2. The map features four biomes, each with their own unique areas and NPC's to discover. The desert biome feels a lot like the original desert area from Chapter 1, but rockier and canyon-like. Two brand new locations, Chonker's Speedway and Condo Canyon, are some areas the player can land at this biome. The snowy tundra biome takes more than half of the map and has a tease that is exciting to many Fortnite veterans. Iconic landing spot, Tilted Towers, seems to freeze under the snow and will most likely thaw out as the season goes by. Chapter 1 locations Greasy Grove and Shifty Shafts have made a return this season as well. The rest of the landing spots are brand new locations such as Sleepy Sound and Camp Cuddle. These new locations are a sure way to bring in tons of new and returning players to the g
On top of the usual grassy forest biome, Chapter 3's island contains an archipelago that seems to be the living space of the Seven. Featuring a gigantic statue of the Rock's Foundation, this archipelago has a series of islands littered with vaults and bunkers the player can open with a friend. These vaults contain some great loot, as well as a porta potty teleporter, first featured in Chapter 2. Fortnite also features Spider-Man's Daily Bugle as a brand new location that has been added to the map, with the landing spot being the only crossover location for
Fortnite ’s art style seems to clash with the realism that the Unreal Engine is advertising, and at the top end Fortnite doesn't take full advantage of Unreal 5 , but these changes actually make for a better experience for all players. Not only does the development team benefit from improvements to workflow management and processing speed, but people with lower-end systems will also still be able to run the <a href="http://xurujin.com/member.asp?action=view&memName=GiselleRadcliffe93">slg game updates</a> at higher resolutions due to the improvements in upscaling and world generation. Overall, not only will Unreal Engine 5 allow Epic to work more efficiently on updates to the already massive game, Fortnite players will most likely see an improvement to graphical quality and frame ra
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde is another longtime member of the X-Men. Starting as a young student at Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Kitty Pryde trained under many of the X-Men's most prolific members, until she became a teacher herself. Once Charles Xavier began a new mutant nation on Krakoa, Kitty Pryde took over the mantle of Red Queen in the Hellfire Trading Company, leading the Marauders on adventures to help struggling mutants around the gl
For CPU processing, Unreal Engine 5 now lets developers create games that can take advantage of up to 64 cores. More processing power usually equates to higher frame rates, but not significantly so for Fortnite specifically. This change will not be worth it for all but the most dedicated players due to the prohibitive price of CPU cores, but it is worth mentioning as it still lets Fortnite and all Chapter 3's new updates run at even higher performance when working in creative m
There hasn't been a proper X-Men game to be released since the 2014 mobile game Uncanny X-Men: The Days of Future Past , and there hasn't been an X-Men game released for consoles since Activision's X-Men: Destiny . Since the new Skydance Marvel game likely isn't an X-Men game and Insomniac's new Wolverine game hasn't been confirmed to feature any other members of the X-Men, fans of the mutant superhero team may be waiting quite some time before they're able to step into the shoes of their favorite mutants in a game that's dedicated towards them. In the meantime, many fans have been trying to find ways to play as their favorite X-Men in various crossover games. While members of the X-Men are playable in several mobile games like Marvel Strike Force and in the Nintendo Switch's Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 , Fortnite might be X-Men fans' best chance of getting to play as their favorite charact
Earlier this December, **Fortnite ** upgraded its engine to Unreal Engine 5 from 4. Unreal Engine 4 already had ray tracing and a complex particle effect system that helped create polished graphics for Fortnite , but the upgrade has important features that game developers outside of Epic Games are also taking advantage of. The Matrix Awakens and Senusa’s Saga: Hellblade II were both shown off at The Game Awards and showcase the high level of detail games can achieve with the new eng
For fans of the X-Men Animated Series from the 90s, there are few X heroes that are more iconic than Jubilee. This is partly because the show's events are often shown from her perspective, including the first episode, which tells the story of how she came to join the team. In the comics, Jubilee has gone from being a teenaged troublemaker to one of the X-Men's most reliable teammates, as well as the mother of Shogo, a baby who can transform into a dragon while in Avalon. In Fortnite , her iconic yellow trench coat and neon pink sunglasses would make for a distinctly perfect design for any X-Men fan with a nostalgia for the 90s. Her mutant power, which allows her to create multicolored sparks, could also make for some fun accompanying emo
