<br>As X-Men team members go, none are more deserving of a spot in Fortnite's roster as Cyclops. Not only does he help define what it is to be a member of the X-Men, but he also has two members of his family already in Fortnite . His son, Cable is playable in Fortnite already, and his wife, Jean Grey, was recently added as Dark Phoenix. Cyclops' optic blast could not only make for a cool emote, but a limited-time visor weapon could allow players to utilize his optic blasts in com<br><br> <br>One of the biggest reveals of Chapter 2 Season 8's live event was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson being shown as the voice actor for the Foundation, <a href="http://hev.Tarki.hu/hev/author/Archer79J8">weblink</a>; a prominent character in Chapter 1 and 2's cinematics. The Foundation is a special skin that can be unlocked separately from the battle pass. There is no way to unlock the titular character, with his release date being February 3, 2022. There seems to be both a helmet and no helmet style for the skin, as w<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>The biggest boon from Unreal Engine 5 is most likely all development-focused, but it allows for game designers to create ideas like Fortnite 's new smooth Marvel-esque web-slinging more efficiently, leading to better experiences. Already, the new map for Fortnite: Chapter 3 seems to be taking advantage of many of the higher-quality resolutions and open-world possibilities. The game's consistent update strategy and integration of popular IPs require a quick turnover time. The new engine could allow for more major overhauls to maps and better performance for creative m<br><br> <br>While Jean Grey fans were no doubt excited by her surprise appearance in Fortnite , Jean is more than just the Dark Phoenix, and Fortnite should acknowledge that by giving Jean her own skin, separate from her Phoenix Force that she has always struggled to control. While it would be fantastic to see a green version of her Phoenix costume as an alternate selectable skin, it would be even cooler to see her take on the mantle of Marvel Girl once again, as she has in the comics. Her green and gold dress or her X-Men Red costume would make for great skins in Fortn<br><br> <br>In the PS5 tech demos, Unreal Engine 5 has a unique way of generating worlds that’s different from other engines - most of the time, when games load maps, they have to load a full section to a user’s RAM and then process where the character is on that map to render their surroundings. This can cause pop-in and generally make load times slower as the system has to keep the world loaded but also delete it entirely when moving to a different section of the level. The new world partition system now being utilized in games allow developers to create larger worlds that load procedurally based on what the player can see. All this is done by the engine itself and doesn’t incur a huge performance dip when consistently loading these smaller ar<br><br> <br>While the Lumen and Nanite systems integrated into Unreal Engine 5 are more for development than for gamers, it still improves the play experience of Fortnite . One of the defining features of the game is its continually-changing world map, and the upgrades to lighting and texturing could let the team modify the existing content quicker. On top of also allowing for better dynamic lighting, the new systems allow for larger worlds with consistently high detailing, meaning that expanding the world of Fortnite with events like Winterfest and unique concerts could be easier than e<br><br> <br>For consoles, this is also a huge boon given the PS5 uses AMD graphics cards and the Switch runs Nvidia. On the player’s end, no matter what GPU they run this change decreases the stress on the card, as upscaling is a lot less demanding than fully rendering buildings and landscapes in a higher resolution. Fortnite has a somewhat simple and stylized art direction, but having better graphical fidelity could mean the lower-end systems could experience higher-quality textures and draw distance, improving the gameplay experie<br><br> <br>Acquiring the Barons’ Double Down Pistol should only be achieved by players who want Dill Bits for better weapons in Black Market shops, not for those who are actively seeking out a hand cannon that fires Heavy Ammo and lacks both the power and the recoil to be a decent cho<br>
