The evolution and decline of Fortnite's artstyle

[@RocketRidge]

I had a lot of fun with this one, even if I put way too much time into it lol. I had to take a break half-way through for the anniversary video and I think that helped this one reach its full potential. If you enjoyed, make sure to subscribe! kzbin.info/door/ijScfGuSPBf_cQngDieIsA Might make Fortnite a bit more of a mainstay on the channel if this video does well, so share it around with those interested and whatnot. Thanks for watching!

[@CallMeVidd]

I got so used to the Chapter 5 art style that when remix dropped and I played my first match I got whiplash seeing that colors actually exist

[@Austen54]

The original design intent of fortnite was so awesome and unique. It hurts so bad seeing how its declined into a dull and corporate mess, making the artstyle as lifeless and barebones as possible just to accommodate the overwhelming number of collabs. Great video.

[@RocketRidge]

Much of this video's idea was based off of a GDC talk in 2018 called "Developing the Art of Fortnite." It's genuinely insane to go from that hour-long speech about how they managed to come up with a perfect art style for a game that was very much a passion project for Epic at the time to literally any of the more recent seasons. I hope this video managed to convey that contrast of emotion in some way

Chapter 2 still had many old assets

[@RocketRidge]

This video released before Chapter 2 Remix so I honestly forgot that most of the interiors from back then used Chapter 1 props. In hindsight that might be one of the most glaring flaws with this video, but Chapter 2 still marked a shift in direction through the new props that came with it and they would only continue to redesign old assets with the release of each new chapter. Anyhow thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated :D

[@diente.3576]

As an artist and character design enthusiast, there's something so fun about different skins in Fortnite. The original art style was unique and quirky and interesting by the looks of it. its reminiscent of ToonTown and other games in that genre. There are still some elements in the modern skins, like the larger, blocky hands and fingers and the way the eyes are proportioned to the head and face. I do hate seeing the change from unique art style to bland corporate schlock, but it's just like the spread of minimal brand logos. I do think the goofiness remains in squads consisting of spiderman, snoopdogg, renegade raider and goku, but i think they could have gone in a better direction when it came to using UE. there's no need to change your artstyle, just push the game to its limits without making changes (i have no comments on gameplay since I just started playing this chapter.) And the only reason colaborations keep happening is because the main demographic of fortnite is still kids, kids who can ask their parents for money to get the new juicewrld skin and the new Nike shoes that theyre selling

[@Ikcatcher]

Playing since Chapter 1 Season 3 , I have long accepted Fortnite has just become a collab hellscape where nothing makes sense. It really says about Epic's aimless nature with where they want to take this game when there's a alleged leak of a permanent Chapter 1 OG mode coming out alongside Chapter 6. Chapter 5 was such a boring era of Fortnite that I feel like Epic thinks the only way to keep players attention is to constantly go back to the good old days, instead of wondering why said good old days was fun to begin with

[@RocketRidge]

Yea I've seen a lot of people discussing the same general topic that this video covers and with Remix coming out since I published this one I definitely think a lot of them are right to say that it doesn't seem like Epic can get behind the fact many of us like (or for many of us used to like) Fortnite for the charm that the game inherently had. Here's hoping we get more creative and fun ideas that aren't tied solely to crazy collaborations.

[@PilaRyeOfficial]

I feel like the reason they're going back to the "good old days" Is because the Fortnite community is pulling a whole "Pokemon Black and White" situation, were getting mad about all of this new stuff, that there wasn't enough old fortnite content, and to bring back the old Fortnite via I think, And when Epic Games does that, now everyone is mad because Old fortnite was being milked to death and they miss the times where old fortnite wasn't milked... Sorry for bad english.... But the Fortnite community cannot be pleased for some reason 😭 (or atleast that's what I'm seeing)

Oh hey!

It's super interesting to see so many people have a burst of revelation regarding Fortnite's art style and otherwise nostalgia surrounding the game at the same time, although I guess it's no surprise given Chapter 2 remix was known to be planned for release this month.

[@addinoir]

I used to absolutely love fortnite. I started in chapter one season four or five, and i’d play it every day for hours on my nintendo switch. I got pretty good, and I had so much fun playing with friends, making new friends, and even playing alone, and the skins and maps and artstyle made it even better, and I loved it, even in chapter 2. Unfortunately I was younger during that time and don’t remember much, but I do have some screenshots at least. When the sweats started multiplying and people getting better, along with the addition of bot lobbies, the “skill based matchmaking” aspect kind of faded away, especially since i have autism and have been struggling with my hand-eye coordination as i’ve gotten older, and since i only played on a switch at the time i couldn’t really get better with everyone else since i was limited, even though i was considered pretty good for a nintendo player. Fortnite honestly lost its character and spark after chapter 2 season 5, and honestly isn’t really all that fun to play anymore since it became so repetitive and focused on the story and mass producing skins and collaborations and making changes to “keep the game fresh” as it evolved, but it honestly killed it for me. I haven’t played it in almost a year, and I doubt I will for a while, and if i do I won’t play much, since it truly isn’t fun or worth my time anymore. Fortnite truly fell off (in my opinion) and it’s simply not the same, and never will be again.

[@JesusChristTheHoly]

Honestly yes it’s much worse but with remix and the eventual return of permanent Fortnite OG you can tell it’s partially bringing back the og style. The guns are much more realistic but still cartoonier than previous chapters. I feel like it’s coming back

[@RocketRidge]

I hope they can fuse the new direction with the style that made classic Fortnite feel so fresh! Only time will tell though :p

[@Herobrineminecraft-return]

[@ASTRONEER-pp1dk]

I always missed the infinite grappling gun from season 2 chapter 2, it was the most fun thing they added to me. Then they made a ripoff in the next season that got rid of its best upsides, being able to spam it to get to a better position.

[@megapeebs2631]

Another thing I noticed that the last time an important story thing happened was like chapter 3 with Jonesy and the rock going through the rift to confront the main antagonist and it's NEVER brought up again like 3 years later they legit forgot

[@demontamerbf18]

[@Apollo_2108]

It would be cool if instead of doing challenges around the map and getting 15 seconds of dialogue after placing two random objects at loosely correlated locations as a means of getting Fortnite lore, we did playable cinematics every week (kinda like the c2s6 event, but not as big) like you have to do an actual train heist with jonesy and hope against the society (c5s1 storyline), playing out like a cod mission, and you will get xp based on better performance (DCBAS ranking). It would definitely give a much needed break to the repetitiveness of Fortnite’s other modes whilst giving a more engaging why of storytelling.

[@pt5728]

I don’t mind collabs, but I’m not a fan of having actual skins. I’m a fan for Fortnite skins and Fortnite skins that mimics others, like The Reaper skin was supposed to be their version of John Wick, Valor was like a Fortnite version of Wonder Woman. The battle pass should’ve kept in line with that. And if they were to have actual collab skins, make them rare and put them in the shop not the fucking battle pass.

12:07 DJ Bop sighting in the wild Also, everything in Chapter 4 except for Wilds was actually fire and Chapter 4 has one of the best track records despite the blemish that is Wilds. Chapter 5 Season 3 was amazing as well. I'm tired of modern fortnite getting dogged on for not being "og". The core of a game was still there, there were additions that kept things fresh and active. Wrecked was absolutely one of our best seasons, taking the balanced gunplay from Fortnite and adding more content to play and experiment with. People who complain about the cars ignore the EMPs + Boogie Bombs and people who cry about fists ignore every nerf they got. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 was absolutely some of the most wild and fun gaming I've ever had in my life. Saying that it changed the core is simply wrong, it's coming from an angle that expects more of the same. Chapter 2 became entirely stale and was more or less a cancer to Fortnite that even led into Chapter 3, a total nothing-burger that overall had 5 standout skins: The Foundation (the Rock's Fortsona), Meow Skulls and Darth Vader, Spider-man and Indiana Jones, 4 of those skins are branded and 1 of them is a gooner skin. Fortnite only started to get good again in Chapter 4. Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 4 was the last overall good season of that chapter before everybody started to get tired for the last 4 chapters. Nobody cared about it and the game nearly fell off entirely because of it. We need to stop ignoring that.

[@RocketRidge]

I didn't discuss Chapter 4 much since this video mostly focused on CH1, CH2 and CH5 but I REALLY enjoyed Chapter 4. Definitely underrated fr. Wrecked was either really bad or really awesome depending on your viewpoint, I personally had a good bit of fun with it myself but it's hard to deny that they largely changed the core gameplay for that season.

as much as i laughed at 19:59, it really makes you realize how bloated and over the top fortnite has become. as someone who pre-ordered STW and recently just reinstalled the game, there's so many different art styles all in one game that it's almost nauseating to think about. and sadly fortnite's original artstyle gets lost in the corporate collab slurry. i think the video's great and really shows how far fortnite has gotten from its original vision.

I thought you were gonna go somewhere with the part of the dev team having 1/3 of a year in chapter 2 season 2 (or 3, I forgot which). where you’d say that the dev teams just don’t have enough time to find or make something fun for the community anymore since the chapters are so short now. not criticizing or whatever but I just thought you’d mention something along those lines since that was what I was thinking you were leading on to

[@RocketRidge]

I did come back around to this point toward the event of the video but yea I think the main problem with their development cycle atm is being forced to include collaborations into gameplay, and because they have so little time to work with they end up pouring most of their resources into these collaborations instead of a mix of both collabs and original concepts unique to Fortnite, what happens is that those concepts we do end up getting are never fully fleshed out by the end of a season and end up falling flat as a result of devs being sweeped up for one of various mid-season collaborations on top of actually creating the next season. That's just my suspicion though.

The BR mode will never go away, it makes way too much money and always has the most of the player base. As for the Fortnitemares seasons, those were disruptive, everyone and their mothers would complain. This latest one was without a doubt the best as it had more than enough for people to sink their teeth into. As for the characters and layouts, it's really nothing big enough to be scared of. I do agree the artstyle has been a bit lax, look at the JuiceWorld skin, it's just him. I miss the cartoony look to everything. Funny enough C4 had that in spades, especially during S2. It was a nice mix of realistic and over saturated cartoon aesthetics.

[@RocketRidge]

C4S2 was some of the best Fortnite we've gotten in ages! Always great to see another C4 Enthusiast :)

[@ItsScapeGoated]

@@RocketRidge My dude I loved C4 more than OG, and I've been here since STW days. Not that OG was bad, I just preferred C4. The movement, the guns (the red eye wasn't that great though, Twin Mag AR was peak), art style and augments I adored. If we had a chance to go back to those days, I'd be there in a heartbeat with no complaints. Was such an underrated Chapter, it's what got me back into FN after I stopped playing for years. Aside from S3 that was... yeah.

[@thewendigonerd5104]

Honestly something I've been thinking recently regarding fortnite is that some collabs are pretty distasteful (I suppose you could call it) Prime example being the recent fortnightmares (or whatever it's called) it features (as you mentioned) a Saw skin, which keep in mind, Saw is a franchise known for featuring some very violent and graphic scenes (self-mutilation, torture etc) and I just find it quite distasteful to include such crossovers especially in a game which has a decent portion of players below 13 years old.

[@RocketRidge]

Definitely an interesting thought, although they have been adding similar skins like that since Chapter 2. It's just silly how they're trying to appeal to every audience at once but also make certain maps impossible to play as with skins like the new Saw one or those with ammunition and whatnot because they're 13+ concepts. Truly you'd just be better off playing Roblox or other games in that same vein like VRChat instead, still it's awesome that people can at least try to make a livelyhood off of Fortnite maps now lol.

I suppose we'll have to see what happens though, here's hoping the new chapter is fun because it is peak Fortnite and not because it has a bunch of random collaborations thrown into it.

[@RocketRidge]

Fortnite has always been an extremely unique game and one that I love dearly even despite its many, MANY flaws. Even though I'm burnt out of BR I've been having some fun revisiting Save the World recently. Most videos in this style I find are from those who have passion for a game or a community and want to see it improve. I think such criticism is warranted and even necessary in most cases when it comes to larger games so that developers can get a valuable consensus of what their communities want to see reworked/improved. The more the merrier, provided that nothing is taken too far and turned into a campaign of harassment or whatever.
