John Wick is one of the best fandom outfit skins , added as a buyable set to the shop originally as promo for the third John Wick movie back in 2019. Fans were thrilled to be able to play as the iconic character designed perfectly to look like Keanu Reeves. It also came with the Assassin Pack back bling, Simple Sledge pickaxe, and alternate 'damaged' style that portrayed the character more roughed up and weathered. Players can still claim this iconic skin as it cycles through the s Fortnite Chap...

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 ...

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 ...

Another new mechanic that has not technically been released yet is web-swinging. With Spider-Man crossing over onto Fortnite this season, Epic has added new web-shooters into the game. This item can only be used in Arena mode for now, and will most likely be released in every game mode by the time Spider-Man: No Way Home releases. Fortnite 's web-swinging has been widely praised by fans, even being compared to web-swinging in games like Marvel's Avenge Players could unlock this skin in their loc...

Basically, a lot of these changes automate what had to be done manually by artists and modelers - the engine reduces polygon counts eliminating the need for separate levels of details. For light sources, no longer do developers have to wait for the engine to generate lightmaps that only light one object a specific way - the engine does light calculations on the fly at a much faster rate than it did before. Decreasing the workload needed to finish a project could mean that the development team is...

Newcomers of Larian Studios and their Divinity: Original Sin series might find themselves surprised at the depth of its titles. After all, both Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin 2 contain not just compelling narratives but also extremely immersive gameplay. Moreover, players can arm their characters with a wide variety of equipment, Talents, and skills that can make them extremely unique individuals in the game world of Rivellon. Unfortunately, these elements do make Original Sin 2 a bit...

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 ...

Of course, there is more than just engine quality that goes into the creation of the game. At the end of the day, Unreal Engine is still a tool and there can still be user error, real-life setbacks, and creative miscalculations that can result in poor performance or a worse play experience. However, the future does look bright as Fortnite continues to improve and get updated years after its release. Unreal 5 won’t trample on the original art direction or gameplay, the improvements to the engine ...

The only Sniper Rifle so far in Chapter 6 Season 2 is the Falcon Eye Sniper, and the Mythic variant provides even further damage output than the previous incarnations found throughout the map. As a Mythic variant, it’s no surprise that the damage is much higher, but the Falcon Eye Sniper still suffers somewhat due to its recoil and damage out The Enhanced Twinfire Auto Shotgun might be the only shotgun featured so far in Chapter 6 Season 2 that stands a chance against melee weapons. The damage f...

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 r...

Iceman is one of the original five members of the X-Men team (along with Cyclops, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl/Jean Grey), and is one of the team's most powerful members. Bobby Drake has the ability to create ice (which he can use as a weapon or a shield for his body), which would fit in perfectly with Fortnite 's new icy map . As an Omega Level Mutant, Iceman's powers are unmatched in their field, with his ability to create ice being nearly limitless. Unlike the other four original members of ...

Vi seems to be an even more in-depth alternative Drift skin with her open-faced fox helm, long flawing paw cape, and thigh boots. She also came with an alternate style of icy blue that changed her outfit, and the Crooked Claw pickaxe and Foxbow Quiver back bling. She is also one of the few reactive skins, meaning her outfit actually gives off light and glows in certain locations. There is no saying if this set will appear in the shop again, but if it does, it will most likely cost players a smal...
