hey guys this is Austin fort night is the most popular game in the world right now take one look at which and you'll see hundreds of thousands of people watching streams at any given time now that actually got me curious because fort night is available on such a wide range of hardware everything from high-end gaming pcs to consoles to even smartphones can you actually run it on some slightly unusual things like a two hundred dollar laptop at first glance things look pretty promising for tonight's minimum requirements only need an intel HD 4000 GPU aka integrated graphics on a laptop from 2013 which I think should be pretty doable but we're gonna be pushing the limits here so to start with we're going to try four night running on the iPhone 10 now it's impressive here is that actually looks pretty much like for night everywhere else you've got your menu if you got pretty much everything else that you want to have unlike a lot of other free-to-play games on the phone my first impressions are that this is really really good looking for a game on the phone now I'm sure as we take a look at some higher-end pcs you'll be able to see more differences but I mean this is pretty much the full game you're not really losing a whole lot of anything here probably the biggest problem with Fortnight mobile are the controls now it's not that bad especially if you can kind of get used to some touchscreen controls you'll probably be fine but it is definitely not going to be as nice as with a controller or especially with a mouse and keyboard what's cool about this addition is that it actually does support cross play so in theory right now I can be playing with people on PC on Xbox or on phone next up we have the full PC experience so this is the Acer predator Helios 300 a roughly $1000 laptop with pretty beefy specs including a core i7 as well as a full nvidia gtx 1060 immediately you can tell there is a huge difference here smelling are we playing at 1080p on epic settings but we're getting a pretty respectable 70 frames per second or so right now don't get me wrong there's nothing necessarily wrong with the mobile experience but there is a pretty big difference when you jump up to the PC honestly probably one of the biggest things is just a better control scrimmage so even though you have the Ultra PC experience doesn't necessarily mean you're actually going to be any good at Fortnight but I will say there is a big difference in playing something like this versus the phone or as you'll see in a minute some of the lower end systems this really is kind of the way that fortnight is meant to be played next up we have the Xbox 1s now this is going to give you a good idea of what the lower end of consoles are capable of so this is the least powerful ps4 ps4 pro as well as Xbox 1x are all going to give you better performance and especially better resolution but you are still getting 60 frames per second on the console and if this looks a little bit different to you it's because this is our portable Xbox one that's set up you guys want the full information on this link is in the description so what you're getting here is that full 60 frames per second experience but at lower settings some of the most noticeable things is going to be the resolution so this is running somewhere in the neighborhood of 720p it looks fine that's not going to be super sharp especially if you're playing on a high res 4k TV that being said especially you're playing on a smaller monitor like this it looks totally fine and I can't stress enough that 60 frames per second option is a huge huge deal it really does add so much fluidity to the game and it makes it feel a lot more competitive versus slightly less performing options not that I'm hinting toward what the other things in this video are going to do I'm really impressed with just how much optimization that they've done on this game it's crazy the epic has made a single title that can scale everything from a phone to an Xbox OS this is bad this is why are we all why are we all in here no yeah next up we have something a little bit more interesting this is the Acer Aspire 5 and it's $600 this is by far my favorite gaming laptop I've ever tried so for that money you're getting not only a Core i5 but you're also getting a pretty decent NVIDIA MX 150 graphics card performance wise this is actually pretty similar to what you're getting on Xbox so right now we're running on medium settings at 720p now we're getting a pretty stable lock-on 60 frames per second sometimes during the action we'll dip a little bit below that but it is surprising at how close you can get to a full console experience on what is a pretty budget gaming laptop the only problem with a game like pub G or fortnight is that everyone is so good that I feel really really terrible so yeah now my friends it's time to take a trip to the danger zone so far we've been playing on things that are actually meant to play the game however fortnight can be run on very very low settings so this is the 2017 LG gran the idea here is that this is by no means a gaming laptop instead this is very much an ultrabook and that she does have pretty decent specs with eight gigs of ram and the brand-new 8th gen core i7 processor however graphics not exactly the strong suit here now no one is going to buy an ultra walk for gaming but it's interesting to see how something like this is going to perform it might seem weird to try to play a game on an ultrabook but to be fair a lot of people do have this class of hardware and might be interested in trying fortnight the good news is it's playable the bad news is it's not going to be particularly pretty so first of all you're gonna want to crank your settings down all the way down so right now I'm playing on the lowest settings possible at 600 P and getting somewhere around 30 frames per second like here I'm walking around not even a particularly challenging scene worth I ain't empowering in the high 20s it's gonna be playable but it's definitely not going to be a great experience so far we've seen a pretty wide range of hardware to play on fortnight but my real question is can we play it on a 200 laptop so this is the HP stream 800 dollar laptop with some incredibly low hand specs so we've got an Intel Celeron and 30-60 processor 4 gigs of ram and exactly no dedicated graphics of any kind see here what do we got we got 480p on low I'm gonna tell you guess and say that's going to be too high well they'd be nice things about for tonight though is you can completely adjust it all the way down to 360p I like how your avatar in the game is like 18 pixels right now really fills me with confidence joining server alright tag placing fortnight on a $200 PC this is not gonna go well okay we're actually in the game right now and that looks hilarious but we're getting a solid 14 frames per second um okay I mean the game is actually playing it's not crashing it's uh there's some like pixels on the screen there's like seven or eight of them it's fine no big deal oh okay we froze we froze that's fine that's fine I'm sure you'll come back oh okay we're back I guess it didn't freeze after all Oh what what is this is this supposed to be a tower all right froze again it was funny huh so you look at something like this this looks like a giant blob of pixels however this the tree actually doesn't look that bad it's like any time I look at a tree my framerate immediately tanks I've looked down like you know the ground or something it's fine or look at this stupid Shack which oh wait it just popped in a new texture oh wow okay so it's now no longer garbage town great okay so can you play fortnight I like 200 a computer yes should you absolutely not so I'm gonna say that fortnight actually runs pretty well as long as you don't try to you know push its capabilities a little bit too far I'm curious what do you guys play fortnight on let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
