Fortnight Could Be Epic's Next Downloadable Title

MMGN.com writes: We all knew Epic would be churning out a new game soon, but chances are you never expected something like Fortnite. The studio has been at the forefront of the shooter genre for years, releasing the dark and gritty Unreal and Gears of War franchises to critical acclaim. Take a look at this teaser trailer below, it's definitely a step away from the Epic we all know and love.

It reminds me off MediEvil in its art direction.

hellerphant5291d ago

Never even thought of that, but now that you mention it I can't get it out of my head! MUST PLAY MEDIEVIL!

what a terrible new direction for Epic. lets hope this is just an XBLA game and not a future main series.

DaveMan5291d ago

why? we saw a 20 second teaser. we know nothing else about the game, and your already deeming this a "terrible new direction."

gamers these days. if it's not realistic and nitty and gritty then it's pathetic in there eyes.

Games like these is what epic began there company on (jazz jackrabbit waves hello). Not gears or unreal tournament.

crxss5291d ago

ya epic started their company making games like zzt, brix, epic pinball, and jill of the jungle... so you want more games like that from epic? lol logic fail.

where a company begins making games is irrelevant. what matters is when they started making good games that had a huge impact and people started caring about them, like Unreal, Gears, and Shadow Complex. sure fortnight has potential but it's not what most people want to see from epic.

Pintheshadows5291d ago

Agreed.This is why so many developers are scared to try something new. It's a real shame some so called "gamers" act like this.

Disccordia5290d ago

People keep moaning about too many shooters and yet when Epic of all devs try something new you moan that it's not a shooter. Give them a break guys and let's at least give them the chance to see what they can do. Like someone above said we've only seen 20 seconds and I for one am actuall quite intrigued.

umad because there aren't a bunch of burly guys running around in power armor suits?

crxss5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

uhappy with construction workers nailing speed limit signs to towers? lol come on now caboose. this game will probably end up like some RTS or some other survival genre where you have to survive for 2 weeks or something (hence the title fortnight) and build forts...

gears 1 was good when it came out but not really a fan of the series. i'll stick to halo and uncharted.

*edit i've used up all my bubbles but ya i agree with the below comment, it would probably be a game just to mess around with with its multiplayer but i can't take this game seriously whatsoever (which is why it's probably an XBLA game).

caboose325291d ago

Yea haha sorry I was just messing around. I can see where this would throw off a lot of people with the whole art design and gameplay coming from Epic. But this is exciting for someone like me because I personally think games like this are a blast to play.

hellerphant5291d ago

Terrible because they are trying something new? I think the industry needs more companies like Epic step out and try something new and wild. I get sad when I think about games like Mirrors Edge, a game that had potential and could have been made into an epic sequel, get dropped when it can't compare to yet another modern warfare shooter.

crxss5291d ago

i love mirrors edge and the sequel has been confirmed to be coming out... just don't know when. anyways it sounds like a lot of people are being optimistic about this new IP from epic. i'm probably not gonna get it (haven't gotten an epic game since shadow complex), there are plenty of other games i'm ACTUALLY looking forward to compared to this.

Lord_Sloth5291d ago

I don't think Epic has made any game that I've ever liked the aesthetic side of...

*sigh*

rattletop5291d ago

it's fortnite not fortnight. u can't call call crysis, crisis.

hellerphant5291d ago

Damn OS X Lion's autocorrect and now N4G won't let me change the title because it is approved. I really need to turn that feature off. Sorry Rattletop, the actual article doesn't make that mistake.
