Fortnite is an incredibly popular videogame. More specifically, it is a survival simulator released in 2017. It uses a very popular zombie theme, yet with its own ingredients. It has over 125 million players that are growing by the day. Similar to other games, Fortnite has secrets that only a very few people know. Here are the secrets about Fortnite that would fascinate you.
Disks In Boxes
Initially, the base game was published as a downloadable paid version, and as disks in gaming stores. However, later the games were made free for download, which made no sense for the retail of disks. A recent interview with the developers of the game reveals that the decision to release the game in disks was based on a Sony’s study. The study shows that two-thirds of gamers preferred to buy physical copies of their favorite games. Hence, “Epic Games” decided to release the disks with some special rewards. Therefore, if you like your game in boxes, do not hesitate to pay for them, you would get bonuses.
Cheating Can Be Dangerous
On YouTube, we can find a huge amount of walk-through guide videos for different games – click here to see some examples. Fortnite too has a large collection of videos on YouTube. A 14-year old player, Caleb Rogers, published one such video. He posted a video playing “Fortnite – Battle Royale” using several cheats found on a popular cheat website. “Epic Games” made a request to remove the video. Because according to the company, showing the use of cheat means encouraging others to use them. However, Caleb rejected the request to remove the video, which made the company sue him. Thus, the 14-year old boy was nearly forced to pay a $150,000 fine.
Soundtrack
The “Battle Royale” mode does not have a musical soundtrack. Because very often the fine line between winning and losing is, whether you can hear someone walking next to you. In such games, it is very important for the player to hear the happenings around them such as the footsteps. However, in the story mode, music plays an extremely important role. Do you know who the composer of Fortnite soundtrack is? It is the legendary Rom De Prisco, who composed the music for more than 30 video games. Among them are the famous Unreal Tournament 3 and Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed 2 SE and Need For Speed Reloaded.
