Fortnite - Gameplay Trailer

Bishie · 9 Jun 2017 at 15:21

Available in paid Early Access for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac starting on July 25.

Just in case any of you missed it! I like the premise and art-style, but I'm surprised it's going to be early access, seeing as it's been in development since 2011!

The game will not feature on Steam, and instead will use Epic's own launcher.

They've ran out of money and the game is in no state for a release.

Always the case.

Isn't it supposed to be free to play as well?

MikeTheNative · 9 Jun 2017 at 15:39

Completely forgot this existed, I assumed it had died.

Pretty sure its just early access for pre-orders to give you a head start on the competition? seems a little weird.

Yeah I thought I'd read that it was to be free to play. Really it'll probably do better as a paid for game in terms of longevity.

just read my email from Epic Games that features this game, looks good in the trailer

Bishie · 28 Jun 2017 at 10:32

I've pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition, as I've been greatly anticipating the game since the debut trailer in 2011, and the E3 trailer showed a lot of promise!

ShiWarrior · 28 Jun 2017 at 10:35

i might pre order too, looks like im going to really enjoy this game, reminds me a bit of TF2

Limited Edition is good value "if" you find 2 people who want the standard edition

Bishie · 28 Jun 2017 at 11:07

The only thing that concerns me is the F2P model that will be introduced sometime next year! I hope they change their mind on the subject.

Played an early build of this a few months/year back, was pretty enjoyable from what I remember.

Bishie · 30 Jun 2017 at 14:08

The game certainly warrants more attention, it looks very good!

Can we have this thread renamed as official? It's the only one currently active.

Thanks in advance!

going to pre order this, might get theh £50 one

ShiWarrior · 1 Jul 2017 at 16:26

Just registered interest and noticed it says Open Beta starts 2018

so best to pre order now to play in July, otherwise you'll have to wait a year

ShiWarrior · 19 Jul 2017 at 13:26
