  • Did Fortnite Lose It's Identity?
    Fortnite hasn't felt the same for a while but lately it feels like the game his hit a new all time low. Fortnite Chapter 5 definitely marked the start of a new era but was it really what we needed. There have been so many changes made lately that have put the community at odds with Epic Games. It has many of us wondering has Fortnite lost it's identity.

    Fortnite should bring back the old mode select screen with all of these new modes... I would love to be able to play each mode with a separate lobby, like how Save The World is set up. It would make things be partitioned just right so that there wouldn't be any loss of content, but still so that things wouldn't feel as bloated.
    Edit: Also, bare minimum, Fortnite has got to fix the discovery feed. The “By Epic” row needs to be front and center every time, not some red vs blue map. Being able to customize the discovery feed to be able to pin different maps for quick access would be great too, but I rest my case.

      What they should really do, is work on a new launcher for all these new modes instead of making the game feel like ROBLOX or a movie selector like Netflix, sure this might make me sound like im spitting a nostalgic trip, but the old UI's were better..

    Epic doesn't want BR to be the focus anymore. They want BR to be just another gamemode in the platform that is Fortnite, they want it to be equal with Festival and Lego and Rocket Racing, and even all the creator made modes. They want Fortnite to be a platform like Roblox so they are minimalizing the UI and taking all of the originality and character out because they don't want players to feel like they are loading up a fun unique and stylized experience. They want loading Fortnite to feel more like loading the Xbox or PlayStation store and browsing for a new game to play.

      Thats the issue with some people, some people like this change, some people do not like this change. If they do not want to focus on the "battle royal" mode, they should have a separate team, and work on the battle royal mode, and make new launchers and everything for the side modes like, creative, lego fortnite etc, on a whole new engine. The main focus originally was a Zombie defense game and a Battle royal game.

    People say we can’t adapt to change but we’ve already adapted to the huge changes in the first 3 chapters, the problem isn’t change, it’s the fact that simply doesn’t feel like fortnite since chapter 4 came out. It’s also not burn out, I crave the old feeling of fortnite every day, but when I try to play I don’t get that feeling anymore and haven’t since chapter 3. They’re changing what made fortnite fortnite and newer players can’t recognize that because they never played old fortnite

      I started playing Chapter 3 season 1 and I do feel like Fortnite has changed as well since we got the movement change. Every update after that made it feel less like Fortnite. I missed the cartoony animations. The graphics aren't the problem. I can appreciate the update to that. I also miss the quirky items that fortnite had. We have less animals. Haven't seen boats in I don't know how long, weather etc. Petting features. The UI is very bland now and lacks character and color. The locker UI is absolutely atrocious. Someone recently uploaded a locker UI fix on CZcams that looks like the old locker with quality of life improvements with the new modes and I totally agree with his version of what the locker should be. I do want my rarity system back and on the side note I do feel like epic has raised prices with also removing rarities when is the last time you have seen an 800 v-buck skin be released? It does feel like stepped backwards tbh

I will say that it doesn’t exactly feel like the same game but it feels like an updated. I will say I miss classic Fortnite. But it can never be like that again. Or else it would just be outdated and very repetitive because there wouldn’t be any change. I think change is good.

      It would be great if they brought it back but modified it to fit the newer generation. Add more detail while still keeping the design philosophy, more props, higher quality textures.

Nowadays, it feels like a sad mobile game. (At least, ui wise)

  • @jacknite625
    @jacknite625 Před měsícem +8

    if i'm to be fr, I agree with what you said to the fullest extent. when battle royal was originally created, it still had the same stuff from stw. this meant that it had the same style but just in a different gamemode. it still felt like fortnite but just with a different story or nerative. then we got creative which was still a gamemode that felt nessesary and was still fun to have. this meant it would also have the same style. now we have the lego mode, im sorry but i dont understand why this had to be a gamemode. like if you want a survival gamemode, make a survival gamemode. there is litterly no perpous for it to be specifically lego. same with rocket racing. im not mad about the skins, thats a cool feacher. but i'm confused why it has to be a perminet game mode. it could have easily been just a creative gamemode. festival is what is confusing me the most. its litterly just guitar hero in fortnite. im not mad at the emote or music tracks, thoes are fine. the main problem that i have with all 3 of these gamemode stem from one common problem, they don't have a perpus for being in the game besides to appeal to a different demagraphic. im greatfull for the stuff that it gives us, but the gamemodes themself aren't really that special. if i want to play a survival game that looks like lego, ill play minecraft with a lego texter pack. if i want to play a racing game, ill play mario kart 8. if i want to play guitar hero, ill play guitar hero. battle royel on the otherhand has a perpus for existing for it is what made the game so beloved to begin with. sense there trying to go with this idea that isn't really even working to being with, its slowly making battle royal not as important when it should be.

    I think the problem might be that they are trying to have several separate games packed into one, which as a result makes it feel cluttered and overwhelming. I personally have no problem with seasons having new themes because after a while the same old stuff becomes boring. Not to say the older stuff should just be thrown away but they could possibly pull off the feeling with newer stuff and keep its charm. Me personally I have always envied people who got to play Chapter 2 Season 2 as it looked like a fun season. But yeah I do think it feels like a big advertisement with how they are doing things as of now.

    The Avatar collab should have been built up the Whole Season. Maybe have an event like we are having now... But have it changed up to where it was closer to the end of the season... And the event itself didn't involve Aang but just his friends... Like somehow they are trying to find Aang and they think he has been captured by the Greek characters on the island or something... Then right at the end of the event it's discovered he was frozen away again somehow and on that iceberg. So then the event goes into a mode of trying to raise the temperature of the BR island using some kind of fire bending shenanigans so that Aang could be released easier or something. And as we do you see a little more of the ice melt away every week. Then at the end of the season on the last day we manage to melt enough of the ice and... A live event happens...
    Aang breaks out of the ice in the Avatar state! Zeus and maybe one or two of the other Greek characters fly across the map to take on Aang. They battle ALL OVER THE ISLAND! With Aang really tearing up the island as he takes it too Zeus. And eventually Aang wins... And Zeus and the rest the Greek characters are forced to leave the island. Except maybe Aphrodite who stays as an npc you can talk too in the next season. And that would be the end of season 2 and maybe afterwards they could have did a little video of showing Aang and his gang fixing a few of the POI's that got damaged before leaving and having them turn into Last Airbender styled locations for the next season. That's how this should have happened!

    the thing that drew me to fortnite was the art style, it was nothing like the other battle royales id seen and the charm and character the game held made the tone lighthearted and fun. fortnite was so so good at incorporating themes into their seasons and everything flowed together in one consistent feel no matter what you were playing. after chapter 2, although i think chapter 3 wasnt the most drastic change i still think to me it made me lose interest. i remember dropping in for the first time on the new map and everything seemed too clean and refined, there were still things that fit the theme, but i did notice things that made me wonder whether fortnite was trying to blend in with the other games aesthetics. i know people like to say that you only like the old maps because of nostalgia, and yes while i do miss some memories i had back then, i also just miss how the game used to look and feel. let me mention collabs for a second. if you look at older collab skins, you can see how they were brought into the fortnite world and you can tell they are a fortnite skin. now, any real life person who comes to fortnite is just added in like they can define the art style for some reason and some of them are pretty jarring compared to older ones. i dont have a problem with collabs, but like you said, i dont like how they rely on them moreso instead of having them now and again for of course the cosmetics, but also fun game modes instead of looking like an obvious advertisement.

    Ive been here since the start, I remember my friend telling me about a cool game that you jump out of a bus onto an island and fight for your death just like hunger games mixed with Minecraft. The ideal of fortnite in the beginning was a Zombie Base defense survival.. The only reason why the game turned into a Battle royal was because games like PUBG and so on where gaining popularity, Fortnite had to save its game via launching a battle royal, the thing that I love about fortnite was its simplicity and classic skins like Raven, Black knight and so on, something cool like a revolver with a scope on was a cool update, these new modes are kind of changing the game in either a good or bad way. Fortnites identity could be killed if the devs don't listen to the community, they have before in chapter 1 but haven't been as much lately. What they should do, is make a separate game with all these new modes and Creative with UEFN on separate games.

Look at Apex - it shifts it's map every week and whilst I don't think Fortnite should do that I think having the option to play the others would be amazing. We already have OG and Chapter 4 built in Unreal 5 so why don't they introduce those as seperate modes and after the Chapter 2 rerun add that. Same goes for when they do Chapter 3 OG in the future, they can do the month long season and then add it after that. I think this would make the game a lot less repetitive for me at least

Its sad too see Fortnite loosing its point and meaning of the game like live events and what makes it special I hate that there taking ideas from other games and trying to be like roblox which that will never happen because the community for roblox is super huge and they wouldn't be able to top that. There missing what really makes the heart of Fortnite and if only they followed the heart and the meaning of Fortnite success will come for them. Fortnite was so fun back in the day and its devastating too see what it has become now I wish they would listen to the community and realise that there's a bigger picture and that they need to focus what the community wants and not focusing on other gaming industries.

    I think the thing that'll match BR is some kind of coop/story mode to play. Fortnite has a cool story that I'd love to interact with without the stress of other players trying to kill me. And maybe i could focus more on showing off cosmetics with my friends.

    Fortnite lost focus when creative came out is season 7. They did not know what they wanted to do with it, then one day switched full focus on what it could be. Fast-forward and now old ideas in creative maps are fully built games that you can play with the benefit of your locker going with you. They realized that while we will always play the br game, what if to play the new Lego game, for example, you could load in for free and get to play a new Lego game. A small shift that people have not talked about is that all the Lego modes are owned by Lego but are in fortnite. You can now copyright and trademark your own game in fortnite. The reason this in so big is the currency is all the same. It's no different than going to an arcade but fortnite is the ad. This is what ready player one touched on, the idea that all you favorite characters and worlds could be one mode switch away. If handled correctly this could be amazing, as long as we remember that we shouldn't only play on fortnite.

    i dont see how fortnite being a free game doesnt allow for any criticism of the state the game is in
    fortnite works on a predatory business model that is proven to work, especially on children and teens, groups that are the most likely to overbuy
    if you are active, you are bound to buy a cosmetic at one point, because you feel the pressure to do so, you will then feel the need to buy more and more, because that is how their business model works
    of course there are exceptions, but that is not the majority of the active playerbase
    and epic, with that strategy, makes around 4 billion USD out of their 4-6 billion USD yearly from fortnite and that is just insane
    fortnite basically made a free game a paid game, and customers that pay should have a voice in what direction they want the game to head in, without satisfied customers epic will just go down in revenue
    epic right now doesnt care about their customers as much as they used to: the og season was sloppy, false promises of ui changes or qol changes in festival, racing or lego yet to be implemented; for every good change they make there are way more bad ones
    anyone at this point can open a business textbook and instantly tell customer satisfaction is a priority, and ignoring that will backfire on them

Yes. but people have to accept that fortnite is no longer just a br but a whole game with other games inside it .

I just believe that fortnite is doing whatever makes money instead of having a good experience killing terrifying monsters and having cool heroes. I just wish that fortnite would have been released in 2011 instead of 2017 because it would have been a thrilling experience to go around hearing ominous music while building a fort to survive the night. And to be honest, i wanted an experience that the 2011 trailer had for fortnite instead of now ,it looked fun to play.

    Epic could’ve turned this game into a metaverse while still keeping the same feel and tradition the game had when its identity was first built, the problem is ‘simplification’ and ‘modernization’ of the game’s feel and tradition stripped it of its unique identity thus resulting in the company appearing as more corporate. Another thing is its both epic and the community’e fault regarding updates, Epic pushes out in update which might not have had a lot of thought and effort put in, then after the update releases the community backlashes in absolute outrage causing epic to not communicate as much. It’s epics fault for not putting as much effort or thought into an update (e.g. chapter 5s corporate feel and identity.
    ) and the community’s fault for responding in an absurdly negative way to the updates they release. This is majorly why Fortnite has felt like its lost its identity, also regarding the little details they’d put into the game which added up, e.g. battle stars on the map, weekly seasonal loading screen hinting secrets including battle star locations, 3d lobby backgrounds, fun LTMs, seasonal events, side modes for collabs, properly set weekly and daily challenges, toys and pets in battle passes, cool and mysterious storyline. To me atleast the game felt very connective and welcoming, it felt like epic worked on the game with love, effort and passion. Thats what i really miss.

While I miss the vibe the game had in chapter 3, things change. For better or for worse the game is changing. I’ve gotten used to bullet drop but i much rather prefer hit scan. I’ve adapted and have still found enjoyment in the game. Every one is allowed to express their opinion but there is no need for threats or violence. At the end of the day it’s just a game, if you’re distaste for the game is so much to the point where you threatening developers then the problem is you and not the game.

All Epic needs to do is give equal loot to everyone, bring back upgrade benches. nerf all OP weapons, ditch useless weapons and make the game fun and fair again. I gave up ranked because I never get shield or decent loot only the trash weapons. I’m done with Fortnite now as Epic don’t change.

      @ltisdabest21 Před měsícem

      You say that but how many changes have they made that didn't benefit them and only benefits the players an example of this was Kado thorne didn't have a specific style and a bunch of people wanted it so Epic added it they didn't need to and would still have been fine. I agree with what Klarque said they don't particularly wanna communicate and listen to feedback when a bunch of the community doxes and harasses the devs working on the game. Also Epics a business so no matter what they of course will try to make money but the difference is you're not forced to buy anything they still regularly update the game with free gameplay changes and give out tons of free rewards. They have plenty of times made changes that the community wanted it's not like they never tried to please the players they just are doing what they believe is best for their game. I seen somewhere that their original plan back in chapter 1 was always to have a bunch of unique modes in the game, and Epic has always wanted their game to be a metaverse. While not everything they implement is executed the best, and I agree a couple of the changes aren't good they still do a lot for their game and the community, it's not always but they tend to listen a lot. I understand that they make bad decisions but not everything Epic does is some evil scheme, you make it sound like Epic tries to use children, when they can't control what the majority of their fanbase is. This is a free game that doesn't require any payment and can still easily be enjoyed by anybody that plays the game. I do think the direction they're going can be bad if they don't do what Klarque said and find the right balance between community and metaverse.
      TL;DR, Epic communicates and makes changes based on feedback, Kado Thorne style, community is toxic and can be hard to listen to. Epics a business, not all updates/changes they make, or cosmetics they are, best interest of players. Epic constantly updates game also giving plenty of free rewards. Plan was always game with a bunch of modes and multiverse. Not every change is good but, they do a lot for their game and community. Some bad decisions but, aren't always out to get money from players. Game is free and all purchases are optional, only supports the game. Direction Epic is going can be bad, need to find balance and not get carried away.
