Only players know what players want and this is exactly what make a game stay relevant.

DICE: Damn that's a good idea. We should make some type of portal where our community can do the same with BF. Imagine how popular it would be.

The future of gaming is gonna be lit.

9 Month update: Yeah. People are doing 2v2s now and Pizza Tycoon with zombies. Gaming industry really changed a lot.

This is the sort of functionality and potential that I expected BF2042 to achieve with Portal.

Now you don't just build things in the game, you can build the game itself. Talk about taking a theme to its conceptual limit. Awesome stuff.

As a game developer, this is absolutely insane. It really is pretty awesome, might be one of the best User Created Content experiences right now.

Peter Griffen dancing? I'm sold.

This isn't unusual for Epic, though. I'm an older gamer and remember Unreal Tournament 2004 releasing with the dev tools on the disc. People were creating full conversion mods for that game. A lot of them were really fun. Some even released as standalone titles later on. I remember dragging my rig and monitor over to my friends apartment with a few other friends and just playing UT2004 mods all weekend. Epic understands that supporting the mod community can keep their game relevant for years because they've done it before.

This is how things used to be back in the hey day of PC gaming. Back then devs released mod tools which is similar to this. There were loads of great mods around that the community made. Kudos to EPIC

Wow. I'm seriously impressed. Have never been a fan of Fortnite and it's community but this is really interesting. Hope this matures the community and enables people to be creative and build their own concepts that get to last

UE5 breaks every limit of what developer can make. I'm excited for this and what the devs can come up with.

I always avoided fortnite for being too childish but now I am playing it with my kids I am quite impressed. They have a level of polish you just don't get from other games. Constantly keeping it fresh and seem to care about and listen to playerbase.. Crazy concept!

Love Fortnite or hate it, you can't deny Epic does a fantastic job of keeping a game relevant, updated and finds new ways such as this to expand the experience to even more players. I commend that. I don't play near as much as I used to and I made tons of memories with friends on it. I am however glad to see it's still going strong and the community is enjoying it, and now - even more with the new oppurtunities and ideas that can develop out of this

6 months later, no it wasn't.

All three demos were great, but man that last one was just an overall amazing experience.

Unreal Tournament 2004 came with Unreal Engine on a separate disk and that is what made that game so great. The community was given full control over the developer tool and servers were running tons of awesome user created maps, vehicles, character models. It was amazing

Ok this is absolutely insane.

crazy how AAA devs are usually so reluctant to allow any sort of user-generated content or mods, when time has proven, with so many endless examples; that it is the cheapest, easiest and by far most successful way for a game to have continued popularity and relevance. Decades instead of months, and all it costs is making utilities and tools for users

Too bad everyone is still making copy & paste box fights and red vs. blue 🙄

It feels weird to see fortnite like this

I've been saying forever that user creation features are the best thing for this era of live service games. Fortnite and Halo seem to have the right idea

Peter Griffin dancing. That's it. I'm sold.

10 months on and 99.9% of the players are still playing the same maps a 5 year old could have made. What a waste 💩

For the first time ever, I'm seriously considering downloading and trying out Fortnite. This is impressive.

The thing is.. the gaming industry used to be like this... but then companies turned into a bunch of greedy pricks.. Good to see Epic sticking to it's roots and being what all developers should be

40 percent is lowkey generous too! Most developers and publishers take virtually everything

This aged well

not a fan of fortnite, but it has always amazed me what they do for their community to keep it alive and well.

I'm so thankful to be alive and in my late 20s to experience all the amazing tech and how far gaming has come in the last few decades. What a time to be a gamer. What a time to be alive

It's crazy that this happened right as I started playing again

I just find it funny how Roblox literally does the exact same thing but Fortnite just made it so much more easier and better.

I’ve always wondered how awesome it’d be if battlefield let independent modders access to it. It’s be infinitely popular. From cod to milsim, the player base would be massive.

Holy crap this is actually awesome. I wasn't a huge fan of Epic Games, but someone there gets it. Often the life length of a game depends on how effective the modding tools are. I'm glad more people are recognizing that the best way to make something gamers want, is to let the gamers make it themselves.

Mvp criteria is simple....1. Elite winning (top 3 seed in either conference) 2. Elite stats (absolutely cooking) 3. Story of the season (winning streaks, how the team dealt with injuries, what a player did on national tv etc)

Can't wait for all these tools to be added only to see Zone Wars in the custom lobbies 😂

Epic used to do this back in the day for unreal editor 2. But it was for Unreal Tournament. Which was the Fortnite of its time.

Wow, Fortnight went from a base defense game to now this...I'm honestly impressed and kinda interested in building an experience as I went the normal Software engineering route rather than Game Designer like I wanted. A good chance to jump into what is a very impressive engine.

Just got a commercial for bug cornflakes.....

Truly innovative of them to allow rip off Roblox games on their platform. Haven’t seen anything actually impressive about this whatsoever and it’s almost been a year now.

Halo Forge walked so UE5 Creators could run

The thing that impresses me the most about fortnite is not their ability to stay relevant game for years with a very sizable population of players but their refinement when they release updates. It seems to me that compared to almost every other developers fortnite release with the least amount of bugs and strain on systems.

The most hated game becomes the most epic, refine, and likable

I never would've thought fortnite would become the new gmod, but here we are...

Imagine a community that builds an ultimate cod game with classic maps weapons killstreaks and all with this, I would never buy another cod lol

People are going to be making some absolutely insane content with these tools and I for one am actually excited to see it.

3:10 the Kratos skin would go CRAZY here

The age of "modding" live service games is back! So many popular games were first created as mods and custom gamemodes

Its like roblox studio on anabolic steroids

Nice to see epic kind of make modding possible in a big triple a multiplayer game

"imagine that this is first person" yes it's called call of duty.

Damn some of these clips look even better than the normal game

This is absolutely incredible! 😮 I think the games and opportunities coming out of this editor will be Unreal 🔥

I will personally fund a warhammer 40k Space Marine type of game on this engine. So hyped for what people will come up with.

The last one at the end was soo trippy I was about to crash lol

I'm so glad you mentioned Peter Griffin dancing, more attention must be brought to this incredible experience.

As someone who just started a halo forge project after several Unreal 5 Lyra projects I feel so jebaited! In a good way! Looking forward to hopping back in Unreal!

It's cool but all the creations I played so far just "feel" like Fortnite. Basically all these creations are using the Fortnite framework (obviously) but it kind of limits the fun for me. Not a fan of how the movement/shooting feels in it. It's still awesome to see though, just limited in that respect.

Fortnite's graphic from this season and the last season is miles, miles ahead of what anyone thinks of from "Fortnite" 4+ years ago or whatever. It's not a cartoon game, it's just in cartoon style. The graphics at max are actually amazing. And in DX-12 with Lumen and full max settings, it's mindblowing.

How is everyone doing COD better than COD????

Unreal engine is a massively powerful tool for game development. Narrowing the focus of that tool a bit and allowing designers to easily create content for their most profitable game ever can only bring more profits, AND serve to bring more gamers and enthusiasts into their game design ecosystem. And with how many young people are obsessed with Fortnite that never would have touched unreal otherwise, this is their perfect gateway drug.

Of all the online shooters out today, I never would've expected Fortnite to have the most polished, fluid mechanics out there. I've found myself playing it more than any other shooter from time to time.

Just like zero builds was added now we need a game mode where the graphics look like this

Jack has been killing it lately with the content..

This is crazy... Can't imagine how many aspiring developers are benefiting from this right now

The first competent people making a Smash Bros mod with this are gonna make so much money

It's like i just watched 10 different games in one video about one game

This is like the start of a real ready player one to me

Maturing is realising Fortnite is actually a goat game

It reminds me if enemy territory or unreal tournament 2004 where you downloaded game modes and assets while joining a custom server ahah nice !

Looks like a lot of Gears of war animation and that’s awesome!!

Dang, Roblox and Fortnite still kicking is nuts! I expected Roblox to go on forever but not Fortnite! Fortnite making strides to keep its play base shows how they have a smart team!

Cool thing is .. that fortnite creators own the engine and can keep renewing there game

This is amazing! 'm speaking not about fornite, but Unreal Engine 5. To think you can create just about any world that you can imagine in your mind, and the tools are for more user friendly in the current version then previous versions. The learning curviture has decreased which means our creativity potential is less limited now. and kudos to Epic for giving users this freedom of options for players to overhaul the game itself.

nah man, we gonna have Ariana Grande, Goku, Naruto and John Wick playing search and destroy

People will be 'malding' over Fortnite again, the game hate it or love it is a juggernaut in the gaming industry.

I've got the creative imagination of a teaspoon, and the technological capabilities of one aswell. What some people are going to be able to do with this is mind boggling

One step closer to bringing the Entire Infinity Blade Map to Fortnite. Starting to love ya again epic

yep, Fortnite really is not just a game. It's a playground for Epic that they can mass test using fortnite gamers and collect data at the same time. I mean, surely the vehicle physics, motorcycles, and cars in fortnite can be cloned and be applied on their future projects.

Hopefully this spurs other companies to embrace community content that kept gaming alive back in the 90s and 00s

I would love to see a third-person action-adventure with rpg mechanics version of fortnite where you go around a map, leveling yourself and becoming more powerful as you experience the actual game's storyline's events

I had a feeling this would happen when I saw the state of Fortnighte a year ago.

This reminds me of BO3's Zombies mod tools.. This is gonna be sick, and I don't even play Fortnite!

Ok yeah, i understand the implications of what this brings to the gaming industry, its honestly an extremely impressive and exciting thing to see, the possibility of quite actually making whatever you want, within the confines of Fortnite.

BR was the sole reason i aint installing Fortnite, its worth praising the live service content its getting and how large scale and over the top events are regards the mtx.

A wise man once said " sometimes A frog is just A frog "

God I hope somebody makes Anthem 2.0 on this

Games are only just now catching up to valves mod support

love this endless potential and possibilities of this. like you said, the concept of an unlimited asset library (like roblox) but with the AAA funding, publishing, and development of Epic and Unreal5 I feel like theres a huge opportunity to see an explosion in creativity in the next few years, in fact i think we're even going to see something more akin to Dreams on playstation

cant wait for someone to recreate Infinity blade with those tools

for once i actually wanna play fortnite again

This will change gaming for like 1-2 weeks..

thanks for bringing this to my attention Jack, I dropped fortnite a while back but this is worth a look into.

That cod one looks like rogue company

They are kinda taking the apple approach of taking a cut of everything, and the valve approach of letting people mod their game (and later they might poach the devs to make a full one). We kind of already know the engine can do different things because other games exist.

Full conquests map would be cool

I'm quite pessimistic about this. I think 99,9 of creation will be junks and unfinished games like it always happens when community use editors. Looks at Dreams, BF Portal, etc..

I would love to see Fan made Gears of war games. Imagine the pendulum wars done in unreal 5 back on the Epic Engine

I think it would be awesome to see you play fortnite save the world with the boys, it's a great experience that is just overshadowed by its bigger brother fortnite br but it's still awesome

This is insane. Imagine budding game devs designing maps/games based on existing fortnite skins! This in turn would incentivize players to buy said skin/s to get the maximum amount of experience from the designed game.
