Table of contents for KRASH series/game Fortnite 15 in KRASH

Think of the greatest battles in the history of the world; NSW vs QLD in State of Origin, Superman vs Batman in the pages of comics, Mario vs Bowser across decades of video games. Well, now we have another one to add to the list. Cattus vs Doggus in Fortnite. In truth, the giant fight had been coming for a long time. Even as far back as last month’s issue of KRASH Presents… Fortnite magazine we were talking about the giant eye under Polar Peak; proof that a huge beast was trapped within the ice. After a meteor from the volcanic eruption struck Polar Peak, it started an unstoppable chain of events, leading to the escape of the monster. It was named Doggus and it begun swimming around the island…

If your parents or your teacher ever try and convince you that gaming is a waste of time and doesn’t teach you any useful skills, maybe you should show them Fortnite’s Creative Mode. You’ve got to use maths, art, science and more to perfectly construct your worlds. It takes a lot of skill, patience and intelligence to turn the idea you have in your head into something people from all around the world can play and enjoy. And if you’re lucky, you may even be selected to appear in The Block. Like the main Battle Royale mode, the Creative Mode is always changing with new abilities, objects and ideas being added to the toolset; let’s take a quick look at the latest additions. DID YOU KNOW? There are two new…

There’s no shortage of PS4 goodness still on the way, but for those of you with an eye to the future, this past month we’ve had the first official word on the follow-up console, the PS5. We can confirm that it will be 10 times faster than the PS4, and that power is going to bring a new level of visual quality thanks to ray-tracing technology and 8K resolution. It will also bring 3D audio, which will further enhance immersion. Thankfully, an SSD hard-drive will come inside the console, meaning games will load lightning fast. And we’ve also been told PS4 and PSVR games will work on the system. As for a release date, that has not been confirmed, but our little birds are whispering November 2020 – could that…

As you know, Fortnite is the biggest video game in the world. In fact, it’s more than just a game, it’s a pop culture phenomenon. Everybody is talking about it; not just gamers. It’s in the news. It’s in the playground. It’s been discussed by worried parents who are concerned it’s simply too awesome and might blow their child’s mind. And when anything gets this big, there are companies out there that will pay good money to be a part of it. We’ve already seen this happen a few times in Fortnite. The Marvel Avengers films have appeared in the game twice now in different ways, changing up the gameplay in innovative and interesting ways. And recently we saw the mighty John Wick make a cameo, with his house, car…

PS4 GAME OF THE MONTH WRECKFEST Some of our most enjoyable (and hilarious) moments in Fortnite have happened behind the wheel of a vehicle; usually doing some very stupid, way too fast. Wreckfest is a whole game basically dedicated to that idea. Whether you are racing off-road, on circuits or in demolition derbies, half the fun in Wreckfest is watching the cars break apart into bits after each epic crash. The game is deliberately silly at times, even allowing you to drive things like lawn mowers, campervans and combine harvesters, not just cool looking muscle cars. There’s a levelling-up and unlocking system, online multiplayer and a campaign to get through, too. Well worth a look! NEW PS4 FORTNITE + DUALSHOCK BUNDLE If you need a new PS4 DualShock controller, then you’ll…

1 Let’s start with something simple. Learn to move in unpredictable ways. Don’t run in straight lines; don’t always strafe sideways; don’t follow the obvious path from one location to another; don’t jump without purpose. Players get used to seeing each other move in certain ways, so if you don’t follow those rules you become a much more difficult opponent to hit. 2 Stay on top of all the changes. Whenever a new item or weapon comes into the game, study it and think about how you might be able to use it. But don’t just think of it from an attacking perspective; also consider how you might defend against it. 3 Don’t just stop at additions either; think about what items have been vaulted or tweaked, and how their…

It’s not just movies that we’ve seen Epic Games partner with in Fortnite. There was the huge Marshmello DJ set, the Weezer album launch and, more recently, a tie-in with Nike Air Jordan shoes. All of these provided unique and powerful experiences within the Fortnite world that you cannot get anywhere else and helped make the game more awesome without breaking it. So why not do more? If it’s big in popular culture, then it can be big in Fortnite. We expect to see more in-game music events happening over the coming months and years. Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, The Killers, Kanye West, Beyoncé, The Chainsmokers and Tool are just some of the superstar acts with upcoming album launches. We could also see more happening from the world of sport.…
