Fortnite Chapter 3: Everything New In The Latest Update

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 The graphical rendering in Unreal 5 allows the game to run on a more versatile set of PCs than before. Even players who already have a PC that can run Fortnite will benefit from the upgrades to how Unreal Engine 5 works with GPUs. The new engine improves over Unreal Engine 4 by working with both AMD and Nvidia GPUs to use temporal super-resolution, which upscales 1080p pictures into high-fidelity 4k - meaning the Switch version of Fortnite could use Nintendo's new 4k-supported dock and rumored revis 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 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 <a href="http://www.kosmodromstudio.com/comment/html/?248325.html">slg Game units</a> 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 Fortnite 's Chapter 3 spared no expense when it came to new mechanics. From sliding to swinging like Spider-Man, the game feels fresh. Starting with sliding, mobility feels so much better than it had previously, with scaling down cliffs being much easier and faster to do. There are also some new trees scattered around Fortnite 's island that can be broken down by the player and rather than poofing out of thin air when destroyed, realistically fall over as logs that can be moved and even deal some damage. Epic also added a new camping mechanic, which allows the player to use and lay down tents that they can rest in to restore HP or store items. This is a great way to have extra storage in-game, though it costs gold bars to store and take out items from the t Fortnite Chapter 2 ended with the Cube Queen opening up an Avengers -like portal to space which brought about UFOs from previous seasons. As the Cube Queen unleashed chaos with aliens, Sideways monsters, and cubes, the players, also known as "loopers" in the cinematics, were saved by Jonesy and the Foundation, who was revealed to be played by actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson . At the end of the cinematic, the bunker the players have to hunker down in is flooded, causing everyone to rush out into the open ocean and witness a cinematically beautiful shot of the island being flipped upside down. As the player is stranded at sea, the portal to space closes, leaving a couple of UFOs behind, and the Cube Queen is defeated, revealing the new map as the other side of the isl Developers like Bioware are moving toward Unreal , and this feature allows multiple developers to work on different parts of the map without overwriting each other’s work, but the big change player-side will be load time improvements and better graphical capabilities. Since landscape destruction is a large part of Fortnite , changes to the map might be able to be saved to a server and only called when necessary, saving processing power and improving multiplayer performance. Loading smaller areas might also mean that draw distances actually improve, as the game would no longer need to hide as much scenery behind h
