The Downfall of Fortnite's Art Style

[@bloxxylenny]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Every time someone tells me that "You don't miss old fortnite, it was always that trashy" I just watch some older footage of the game and think to myself that it did look better, it actually was better. It had a unique look and feel to it, and yet it went from being cartoonish to a wannabe semi-realistic graphics that at best has cartoonish accents that don't really make up the majority.

[@X_SHADOW_X58]

Yea i can tell from experience when i played old fortnite again on project era i found out why i fallen in love with this game, most people were saying i was blinded by nostalgia but the original ui, hud, graphics style and everything was so unique and appealing to me that it was the only game i would like to play but nowadays its just... One of the worst downfalls in history

[@Megalania1]

@@X_SHADOW_X58I love the slight haze across the land in season one and 2 I miss chapter one a lot the game looked beautiful in its own way especially the wavy cartoonish clouds and the bright sunrise and sunset and the dark purple-blueish night sky with stars it looked amazing especially for 2017. Sorry about that but I had to rant on how good the game looked and how now it looks bland smh

[@mahjoubadam1742]

Correct, but the game didn't dwindle down because of the change in artstlyle though, I think that's an idiotic take, the game went down simply because, it was a bubble, for how many days can Drake play a videogame for that to become not interesting anymore? The game started had a decreasing player count since Season 4 ended and hit it's current average pace in Season X, before any major change to artstyle came, you can check google trends by yourself.

All of the collabs are a crutch used as a substitute for an artstyle

[@user-qp5yu1zq1m]

@@mahjoubadam1742 Of course it didn't dwindle it, but the more realistic graphics honestly aren't doing it for me. Hell, the better graphics have honestly made the game bigger for no good reason. Them moving to Unreal Engine 5 was a issue due to it causing crashes.

I've alr posted this comment but Im gna repost it bc atl then people actually see and read it. god im gonna be honest i want a huge amount of people sending emails to epic complaining about the bullshit collabs they constantly release every month or so. Yeah fairs they did some marvel collabs back in the day. But that was EVERY SO OFTEN. KEY WORD: EVERY SO OFTEN. I'm not joking they need to stop. If they can, just restart from scratch. Get rid of the collabs completely and i mean remove them from players inventorys and compensate with the correct amount of vbucks. Keep the battle pass ones because thats only fair but get rid of all of the others. Seriously. Make Jonesy knock his head or be on the verge of death. Then he wakes up and realises he was a schizo who dreamed everything. Then he leaves the bunker (explaining why that bunker was sealed away.) Then boom. Got a chance to start again. If they have the files, use the old graphics. Keep some features like mantling and sprinting for all we care. Just start again. Use that second chance to NOT fuck up. However instead of a full repeat of chapter 1, maybe even just do the same theme and stuff but make it different at the same time. Example: Season 4. Make it so that the meteor breaks loot lake and causes smth else idk. Do something tho. ​ Lmk your take on my comment @@parispc

Yes exactly. Some of the original references like the original John Wick did fall into that collaboration content area, but they were stylized to fit within Fortnite. They still kept the charm of Fortnites art.

[@borgorrb6957]

Fortnite’s lack of a modern mascot also hurts it very much. Any kind of advertising or trailer for Fortnite today is either generic and boring or heavily relies on using characters outside of Epics copyright. Iconic Fortnite mascots such as Fishstick, Raven, or Brite bomber are still the face of Fortnite despite being years old. Fortnite’s inability to make recognizable characters today have really hurt the game. Fortnite only makes either boring uninteresting skins, 3rd party characters, or reskins of popular skins. I’ve played this game since season 4 and I’ve noticed the heavy degrading with quality of Fortnite skins and gameplay. Fortnite’s tactic of quantity over quality and lack of originality won’t immediately kill the game but will hurt its longevity.

Fortnite is a game i recently got into solely to play with friends, and i have to say, as someone who's primarily played team fortress 2 for most of my life as a gamer, it's very refreshing to see the same sentiment i feel regarding that game in fortnite's own community as well. I won't lie, it is absolutely cool to play as Goku, but, he just doesn't and should not be in fortnite, especially with how he looks, cel shading and all, it's one thing if he was only a character dressed as goku, but for it just straight up BE Goku is ill-fitting not only for the game, but also for goku as a character.

Not only was Fortnite's old art style more appealing; it was also less graphically demanding. Which is important especially since you're going to want high fps in a game like Fortnite One thing they also fumbled on was the anime skins which I wouldn't mind as much if they had just stuck with the art style rather than some cell shaded junk

[@parispc]

Real, copy pasting other IP is slop. When its done correctly collabs are fine. Like the Season 3 "John Wick".

[@SimonCap]

I think the primary reason for the massive change in Fortnite's art style to a more generic boring one was because of UE5 since Epic wants to show off the engine to their shareholders and other companies they had to essentially make it as graphically detailed as possible which sacrificed what made the game popular to begin with

[@SecretAgentBob2123]

I feel like chapter 4 was the best blend between its original style and the more realistic style. I completely agree with collabs. I miss when the collab would be an LTM or something, but now it's almost every day there's some new collab that's just an item shop thing.

@@Birds_In_Crime Most appropriate were any that were stylized to fit into Fortnite. Like the original John Wick skin in the Season 3 battlepass. Not necessarily a collab but clearly inspired.

I disagree HEAVILY. It has ALWAYS had its own Art Style. Donald Mustard said he wanted Fortnite to sort of like a sandbox where ANYONE and EVERYONE can interact. I also don’t think Fortnite is making the game more realistic so the Collabs “fit in” but more to show off the capabilities of Unreal Engine. And finally, I know they WILL eventually ditch the more realistic style for a more cartoony style, since it reminds players of OG Fortnite, and people EAT UP OG Fortnite.

[@COELACANTHofficial]

People really underestimate just how much the original art style contributed to the games' worldwide popularity.

[@bonnecticat]

Bring back the little lower leg armor thing all the old skins would have

[@Sidneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees]

I still love Fortnite but a strong part if me still misses that unique aesthetic and artsyle which the game had. Chapter 2 season 3 end atleast for me had marked the end of an era of this unique and so loved style after that which each passing season it just felt like the realism took over and in turn it not only made Fortnite into a bildboard for collaborations but also the Unreal Engines capabilitys. This is in turn ruined skin, map and PIO ideas because they all had to be adapted to this new style and you can see how much the artists are struggling to make any good out of this my evidence? Every battlepass original skin after chapter 2 season 3 theyre all an overcomplicated mess with barely no artistic vision in mind they look almost AI generated to me. I loved Fortnites artstyle and I want it to return however Epic is more focused with taking it away like how they recently did with the movement animations theyre was nothing wrong with them originally in fact people liked them however the style has changed from iconic to just a parody of realism which nobody likes

[@ytxzzs4105]

Completely agree with the battlepass statement, I’ve gotten every battlepass since s6 of chapter 1 and I feel like from then until chapter 2 season 3 the battlepasses stood out. Now… I feel like battlespasses get thrown to the back and they just throw random crap in although there is standout skins and skins that I like, i just feel like they aren’t “memorable” anymore.

I’ve been saying this omg. So glad people are picking up on this. Why do we need so much photo realism, and realistic (projectile+bullet drop) guns?? Like I downloaded this game in season five was because it looked fun and it WAS. Chapter 1 and early 2 were way better than the gigaslop we get now. Tim Sweeney wants Oasis, but the people want fortnite. He just doesn’t get that. Reload is like a slap in the face to me. They saw Og’s success and instead of taking it to heart for future content in the MAIN game, they just said “oh you like chapter one? Look, you can have this bastardized version of it! Just keep playing our game so the investors will think people like what we’re doing!” If chapter 6 isn’t more simplistic, (which based on leaks it definitely won’t be) there’s a small chance it’ll get better, but the chances are low. Fortnite will die, and I think Donald Mustard knew. If you believe that Geno’s last words were meant to be Donald’s to Tim, he really did hope Tim was right, because he knew it could all fail otherwise. As much as I hate to admit it, I think fortnite will die. Could go on for hours about this, but yk.

[@mudge3968]

This video was great! Many people like to shrug off the criticism surrounding the hyper-realistic push with their art style as simply nostalgia. Many of the current changes with the game no longer feature the same cartoonish aesthetic. While it certainly allows them to create a wider variety of content, it lacks much of the individuality, uniqueness, and creativity that comes with the design of an IP.

[@Austen54]

It's so sad how much they have ruined the original vision of the game. The artstyle was so unique, and everything made sense in the world's visuals, which i think is why collabs used to be more appealing and didn't feel like slop. There wasn't a new collaboration every other week, and when they were added you could tell there was effort into making them fit with the rest of the game, whether it be adding combat equipment to a character, or altering the materials original design to make it fit in with the game. Now? they just take a design and plop it in, giving us this ridiculous frankenstein mess of a game with too many conflicting styles.

[@mahjoubadam1742]

Disagree on most things but the collaboration skins, Some collabs were fun and cool like the doom skin, the spiderman web tool and Gwen skin, I enjoyed those stuff, but making a whole ass battlepass and season off of marvel??? That was too much, no idea what Donald was thinking. But thankfully it looks like epic is calming down, keeping it to one collab skin per battlepass, I honestly don't mind that and think it's cool, it's a good way to keep things fresh and keep people guessing what the next collab would be. I also disagree with you on the graphics. I think the mend of realistic but cartoony style they have is really a beauty, sometimes I would crank the settings up for a game or two despite the performance drop at the start of every season just to really appreciate how beautiful the game looks.

[@AgentRayGun]

Let's hope that's still the case when they go full on UE5 and some players are forced to buy a new graphics card just to play what used to be a very simple approach. They're also planning on increasing the player lobbies to 200 players. I personally think a lot of people will move on at this point. Just my two cents.

First off amazing video, it makes valid points on gaming and how losing it's art style can significantly damage a games reputation. However, I have to disagree. While I think I would have agreed in the past, jumping into reload the textures of everything just kind of looked dull and boring to me. With each new chapter we have gotten insane new updates that overhauled the lighting and made everything look more bright and vibrant. Biome's like the mushroom biome in the vibin' season wouldn't have had the same effect if it weren't for the improvements they have made to the games style and lighting overtime. I think I am enjoying Fortnite more now more than I ever did in chapter one. Also, the cartoony nature of the game is still very present in modern Fortnite. I mean look at skins such as Tex Flamingo or even safety shark. Those are cartoony in nature and really fun skins to play as. Also collaborations can be fun too. I get why people aren't fans of them but it means a lot to people like me when we get to play as ip that we have attached ourselves too and get to show off our fandom to other players.

The graphics have not become more realistic they have become more detailed, that is the difference, and chapter 4 was incredibly stylized more so then chapter 3 was, and ch5 is based off of European countries, and is of course more detailed but if you look at it, like actually look at it the only truly realistic thing is the lighting which simply adds to the detail of the structures the grass and buildings. it is still very cartoonish the characters are very cartoonish looking my dad who does not play Fortnite still looks at Fortnite and wont play because the graphics are still too cartoonish. B. the collabs ruining or influencing the art style to be more detailed is downright a stupid take in my opinion. almost every single collab skin is redone into Fortnite's style with a few exceptions which usually means significantly less detail on t the skins themselves compared to how they look in other media also i just want everyone to know that even in chapter 1 the amount of collabs it had was unheard of in the gaming industry aside from one other game known as super smash brothers. C. the reason Fortnite has added so much detail to the graphics is primarily because it is the posterchild game of unreal engine. it was originally being developed in ue3 but they switched it over to ue4 to show off ue4 and its capabilities with more dynamic lighting and shading and easier to work with tools chapter one of battle royale is a testament to this since it was made in 2 months initially and Fortnite in ch2 updated to newer versions of ue4 to update the graphics ch3 swapped to ue5 and ch4 finally implemented the ue5 features adding lumen and nanite and virtual shadow maps because of this they decided to increase the amount of detail the graphics had to structures textures and just the geometry in general. also the collabs ruining the art style really goes out the window when you realize half of them are cel shaded anime skins that have absolutely zero impact on Fortnite's art style and direction and the realistic skins are not any more realistic then any ch2 skin aside from like Tom Hollands spider man and Alan wake and again most skins usually are simplified to the Fortnite art style like every single marvel skin in existence except tom hollands spider man, that was a weird skin. 4. if Fortnite didn't change its graphics and didn't change its art direction people would get bored of how it looked the reason Fortnite is still as popular as it is is because of how it changes. don't let the success of a map in a month long season that hadn't been in the game for several years keep you from realizing that nostalgia is a hard as heck drug it can literally bring vigor back into old people and make them feel younger. i have played this game since ch1 early season 2 before tilted was in the game and i was watching content of it since the pre season i have played every season since then with the exception of season 9 and X due to personal life issues and i can safely say that ch1 while amazing in its own right and visually gorgeous wasn't inherently better in terms of art direction than any other chapter of Fortnite and i say this as its still my favorite style. but every version of Fortnite i watch and play is still Fortnite it still plays like Fortnite it still looks like Fortnite and it still feels like Fortnite just a different Fortnite that has changed and continues to change for worse or for better.

I do respect your opinion, but my own thoughts are that chapter 1, 2 and 3 were great, chapter 4 wasn't the best, and chapter 5 is pretty good. I agree on the art style, but some collabs are cool and bring both myself and many to the game.

I'll have to disagree on this one. I liked the realism graphics way better.

[@ryanfares263]

Fortnite has lost it's indentity Reload and OG are the only parts of Fortnite's cartoonish style left I hope ch6 solves the issues of ch5 ch5 has brought some things we didn't like first it brought realistic graphics, next bad movement, next cluttered shops, and next removing cosmetic rarities oh and the end of ch4 s4 brought a new UI for the lobby and the new UI is very bad but also in Fortnite OG age ratings began and it affected cosmetics many skins with weapons on them couldn't be used in E for everyone experiences and Fortnite made 2 tweets about the age rating and the 2nd tweet they listened you could use any skin in the Big Bang event and in ch5 all skins that had weapons on them could be used in all experiences as in E for everyone experiences the weapons on the skins were removed and also now Fortnite can't represent guns in their keyart when loading up the game the Metaverse is a good idea its just I wish Fortnite did it Donald Mustard's way cause Donald came up with the Metaverse and Donald was speaking facts when he said live events are the magic of Fortnite but now we only get mini live events every season and yes they are exciting but not as exciting as actual story live events and we only get 1 real live event every year which is probably just an advertisement for the Metaverse now Charlie Wen has done a great job on ch5's story but the real story events are lacking like we could have had an actual live event in ch5 s1 to save Peely, ch5 s2 we could have had an epic fight against Zeus, ch5 s3 the current season we could have had an epic fight against Megalo Don, and next season being Fortnite's 2nd Marvel season we could have an epic fight against Dr. Doom and most likely the Wanderer and then ch2 OG we have another fight with The Last Reality and the Nothing makes his appearance and then after that the island flips and shows ch6 and then after that the Metaverse can then be advertised

But it's just nostalgia. Right?

[@braincube013]

So the art isn’t childish and bad anymore, and sweaty kids with superhero skins can’t handle when a fun game has new items… idk maybe I just know that games are for more than just getting wins and having every single item nerfed and such but yeah I’m happy.

[@parispc]

Just because it is bright and stylized doesn't mean it is childish. Team Fortress 2 is also bright and stylized. These games are unique and have much more character than all of these CoD clones. And yes, we do enjoy a fair and balanced game. If Im playing a competitive shooter, I dont want to be getting anime fireballs and iron man beams thrown at me lmao.

[@braincube013]

@@parispc it was pretty childish lol, now it’s looks amazing ( even tho pc bots make the graphics look worse than mobile ) also it’s not “a competitive game” it’s a damn game, technically a child’s game even ( even tho I like it ), but if you’re complaining about new content a lot then delete the game and move on.

[@Night_Rider83]

No one is blinded by nostalgia. Modern Fortnite genuinely just looks bad and lacks any kind of unique art style. And I only played like 3 or 4 games during Chapter 1

[@FlipflopMount222]

It is bad tho chapter four and its horrible art style as well as the oversaturation of colabs drove me away.

[@parispc]

@@559925 The game was never dead or in danger of dying. This video is about how the art style has just become extremely soulless and corporate. Almost nothing is ever fortnite anymore, just random collaboration garbage. We are getting another Marvel season as we speak lol. Just feels extremely lazy, like they are reliant on collabs because they have run out of ideas.
