Not a clone of Fortnite, but a Fornite killer. Making a clone would be too easy, it needs to destroy it. Which is basically impossible. I don’t know what the gameplay loop and objectives would be, but don’t think it was same gameplay of Fortnite (therefore not a clone of it).
If it was just “Fortnite but a bit better”, then very few people would play it, as having a lot of people to play against is important and network effects would keep them on Fortnite. (See also every other “X-killer” - Facebook killer, WhatsApp killer, e-Bay killer, etc. A slight improvement will not do.) Also, Fortnite wasn’t really the game it is until they cloned PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds into it, so it needs to be:
something with a really compelling gameplay loop that’s good with a few people but gets better with more people
not a Fortnite clone, nor something that could be introduced into Fortnite as a game mode
Like you say, just a clone will not do. Need some really exciting innovations in gameplay, which is not Ubisoft’s thing, to put it kindly.
Why the fuck would a Beyond Good And Evil sequel be a Fortnite clone?
Because rich assholes are fucking stupid
Because pizza is good and cake is good. Lets just imagine how fantastic it would be if they are mixed together.
You just described every single attempt at homemade pizza i ever did
No!
Because money.
It’d be like making Godfather 2 a stoner comedy.
i’d watch it
