FORTNITE CHAPTER 3 VS CHAPTER 7 (Graphics/Art style)

Dont get me wrong, the hyper realism on the face models look nice but i dont like how fortnite changes its artstyles for IP's. Its like the game is adapting to the IP instead of adapting the IP to the game.

Epic does what they want without any regard for the community. They believe an explanation is not needed. We have seen it multiple times over. They give us shit, and we tolerate it.

Hey could you kindly pass this message along to the animations/movement team. The movement animations need a lot of polish, even if returning to state machines is completely off the table we would still appreciate it if the current animations could be less wobbly. Thank you

Motion Matching continuously calculates your character's direction vector. When you turn your camera instantly to build, the solver tries to simulate physical weight/momentum, forcing the mesh to squat and tilt into the turn. State Machines didn't do this—they kept the character’s spine upright regardless of camera speed

A lot of build players(myself included) hate Ch5+anims because fast turns causes character models to awkwardly tilt, stretch or squat. Old vs new animations on the exact same freebuild: Notice how with the old animations, the player model is always upright with its feet planted.

FIX MOVEMENT BRUH WHAT IS THIS!!!?!!! @FortniteStatus @Fortnite

From CH1-CH4, you could crouch sprint(which was on by default, and what everyone used) and you could crouch walk(significantly slower). From Chapter 5 onwards, they removed crouch sprinting as a mechanic completely, leaving players with the crouch walk speeds.

How fn twitter was moving when you mentioned you preferred OG anims before the great shift of 26

For all my OG movement glazers out there, please if someone dissagrees with our opinions, dont be calling them no cuss words or being agressive at all! Because this behaviour started all of this! Instead what you shoud do is try to explain motion matching etc.

No one is saying that it’s making their skill worse, but It’s a game ran by a billion dollar company, I think it’s reasonable to not want my character to wobble when I move.

Around chapter 4. Epic stopped seeing Fortnite as a video game but more as a platform for UEFN metaverse and a perfect place to demo Unreal engine features. The core battle royale is seemingly no longer top priority. This change in direction has led to -Transition from state machines(Og anims) to Motion matching(Ch5+ anims) - UI redesign,removal of rarities, etc - Continuous push of the discovery system - Shift in art style.

Fortnite Movement System is BROKEN🔴 🔰Quick movements are impossible to be made since game mechanics slow you down to match animation motion 🔰The animations can a lot of times glitch and look beyond weird, specially near structures 🔰All unique Pick Axe walk animations you payed for are gone to allow "Motion Matching" 🔰When switching weapons Motion Matching slows you down for a bit harming gameplay responsiveness 🔰Switching weapons also make your character walk super weirdly 🔰Any type of fast movement feels beyond clunky because it confuses the motion matching system 🔰Ch1 - Ch4 used state matching system But ch5 - Ch 7 uses Motion Matching, causing this 🔰Motion matching is ONLY used in Open World games... NEVER tactical shooter games 🔰Videos are collected by: @Tragicfv WHY DID FORTNITE DO THIS?🔴 🔰Motion Matching was new to Unreal Engine 5 and Epic Games wanted to show it off, they chose Fortnite as the perfect place to make a demo of this feature and how exactly it works SO NO, this was never done because its good for the games future, it was never done as a useful evolution to Fortnite, addition of Motion Matching is purely UE5 advertisement How do we feel about Epic being willing to harm Fortnite gameplay for the sake of treating it as an Unreal Engine demo? 🥲

If they listened to their community on this Fortnite would 100% see a player increase. Anyways I hope epic games makes the right decision and reverts 🙏
