They teased it earlier this week and tonight on the VGAs, the makers of Gears of War 3 revealed their newest game. Called Fortnite, it appears to expand on the fortification/tower defence mechanics introduced in Gears of War 3 with an all-new art style that leaves the gritty, steroidal look of previous Epic Games behind. We’ll have more on Fortnite when we learn it.

People seem to think that if it looks cartoony, it looks like TF2. Completely different style.

Monday, December 12, 2011 at 12:14 PMHence pseudo-TF2.
It’s a concept that using a more stylised aesthetic may give it the wild popularity of TF2.
