hey guys this is Austin for tonight is one of the most popular games in the world right now one of the things that makes it special is it will run on almost anything so unlike some of our previous videos where we restricted ourselves to a mere single laptop today we're going to be playing fortnight on every single platform that it supports so you may live with this the 200 HP stream from our first fortnight video this is not exactly the greatest experience in the world but it is about as low end of a PC as you could possibly play fortnight on with a cool 360 P resolution and all settings set to low our avatar do is looking a little bit pixelated but importantly we are going to be recording over HDMI so we don't interfere with any of the performance of this laptop oh boy alright we're in the game and that is a smooth eight frames per second wow this is really really bad look at the textures the filtering is really really on point I mean that's a big blob that's a mildly shell-shaped blob a bunch of tree blobs we've got a cliff blob oh we've got some really nice-looking tree blobs up here wow that's actually oh wow that wait what but okay that's that's a really unique looking tree blob you know what let's just move on to something that's a little bit better than a $200 basic Windows computer so this might sound like a bad idea but for that we'll also run on the Mac so here I have a maxed out 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro now it does have dedicated graphics so you shouldn't expect anything too crazy it will run the game oh that's not good the game just crashed on the Mac okay yep okay that's not working so the Mac port of Fortnight is not exactly great as you can see by my face right now if that's too low in for you where you can step all the way up to the iPhone se which amazingly enough is actually still supported by fortnight even though it's hardware from the iPhone 6s one of the first things you'll notice is that while the UI is fine on something like a laptop or even something like a ps4 when you shrink it down to a 4-inch display it is very very hard to see as you can imagine fortnight running on the iPhone se is running on its lowest settings however it actually is not going to be unplayable so one of the things you do have to keep in mind is that while this screen itself is going to be sub 720p it's not gonna be the sharpest sort of presentation in the world but I've got to say on such a small display it actually doesn't look bad a lot better than most other mobile games framerate wise it's not going to be the smoothest thing in the world but we do look like we're keeping a relatively close lock to 30 frames you don't have an easy way of actually counting a framerate on the mobile site but I mean not bad even though the SE is a couple years old it still does have a reasonably decent hardware so in fortnight comes out on android in the next few months I'm really curious to see what kind of hardware that's going to support but as far as I can say for the SE this is totally playable a little bit on the lower side but yeah not bad step up to the iPhone 10 and you're going to be getting a surprising jump in quality so eventually jump into the menu here just like on the PC we have a bunch of different quality settings and the iPhone Tim will default to epic now the iPhone 10 does have that wider aspect ratio well it looks a little bit weird when we're recording when you're actually playing it on the phone it does fully take up the screen it does give you a bit of a wider field of view the difference in quality settings is also pretty apparent now this is not going to be writing at the full resolution it looks like it's something a little bit closer to maybe 900 P or even 1080p if I had to take a guess but the quality settings I mean you can see the texture filtering the view distance everything looks to be a lot smoother although frame rate still seems to be pretty close to 30 frames per second now of course an issue with both iPhone versions is that you do have to use the touch controls now personally I definitely prefer something like the switch where we can actually use the physical controls but hopefully especially with the Android version coming soon there will be some controller support added for now though this actually isn't going to be too bad as far as a first person or third person shooter goes the right size which you use to scroll around the left side is what you use to walk and it's easy enough to just tap on things to select them but controllers are always better not sure this is not going to look as good as some of the other devices that will be trying here in the video but for a lot of the game I mean look at this we've got like nice reflections on the water we've got decent draw distance the lighting really doesn't seem to be hugely impacted and that seemed like God raised or anything here but it's not going to be that far off from something like a console or at least in theory next up we've got the ps4 you know as long as you haven't tried to login on your switch or anything so this is going to be supported of course on the ps4 Pro as well but for this video actually I wanted to look at how it's going to perform on the standard original launch ps4 well the biggest changes with the ps4 Edition over what we've done so far is that we actually get a smooth 60 frames per second now it's not going to be a complete lock but this is so much smoother and especially when it comes to the responsiveness is going to be a lot more competitive than any of the other systems that we've taken a look at so far so the ps4 does target 1080p although typically speaking when you're running at 60 frames per second it's running at a slightly lower resolution but we do get the upgrade detail and most importantly we get that smooth frame rate I can't tell you how much but it's just so much better actually don't know this off the top of my head but I would guess that the ps4 is probably the most common way that people are playing for tonight so if you weren't of course you can run it on ps4 pro we're gonna take a look at some of the higher-end console stuff in a minute but the important thing to know is that even on a completely stock base ps4 that came out you know in 2013 we're getting a nice smooth frame rate and we're going to be getting those what for the ultimate console experience you're going to want to pick up an Xbox 1x Milly's this have a lot more power with a full 6 teraflop GPU but that power is going to enable us to play at basically a locked 4k 60 frame per seconds may not quite locked that's going to be a big jump over the ps4 as well as especially the base Xbox one this is the way to play Fortnight so not only are we going to be getting that nice smooth frame rate we're also going to be getting the 4k resolution as well as the upgrade settings so stuff like draw distance texture filtering we're going to be getting some slightly higher res textures yeah this looks pretty nice and on top of that we're still playing on console so it's not quite the maximum experience that we can have with Fortnight just yet next up we have the newest version of Fortnight this switch Edition so as a console that as you would expect is going to be a little bit more powerful than the iPhone se we are going to be getting the full experience here say for the wall save-the-world mode but does anyone actually play that some of the biggest issues with the switch port actually is Sony's fault so if you've ever logged in to your epic account on a ps4 you're actually locked out of logging in on the switch which caused a lot of people a lot of hassle although thankfully I never played on ps4 with my main account so we're good ah yes the joy of physical controls don't get me wrong the iPhone version is fine and for touchscreen controls it's really not bad but playing with joy Kahn's really does feel a lot better and it actually is not really going to be a huge difference regardless of whether you're going to be playing in doctor mode like we are here or in portable mode on the switch you're still going to be getting the same controls just a little bit of a graphical difference and while a much much bigger screen so the switch does operate with a dynamic resolution up to 950 as I got shot in the back so if it had a higher resolution I totally would not have died there because I need the extra pixels to see people behind one of the downsides are playing on the switch is that unlike on the Xbox one and ps4 we are going to be limited to 30 frames per second but don't get me wrong it actually does a reasonably decent job of holding to that but when you're playing against other people on consoles who are running it double the frame rate you're just not going to have as responsive of gameplay it's not going to quite hold up last but certainly not least we have a high-end PC so this is actually not a dedicated game PC this is what we built to do streaming on but we've still got some solid hardware inside including the second gen arise in 720 700 X running at about 4 gigahertz as well as 16 gigs of RAM and a gtx 770 7770 to show you just how far you can push fortnight we're not even actually running it on maxed out settings here so we've got sets of 1800 P and on high settings so in theory if we had something like a Titan we could push it even farther but importantly we're getting a near 4k res and we're still able to stay above 60 frames per second for the most part once you get to something like the Xbox one X going up to PC actually doesn't make a huge difference really where you're seeing the major advantages earned stuff like high frame rate support if you want to play on a high refresh rate monitor and of course you get full mouse and keyboard support but the visual quality I mean look at this this is just obscenely nice-looking it doesn't hurt the Fortnight is very colourful very nice looking vibrant game yeah that's nice and smooth so with a full 8 quart rise in CPU which honestly is slight overkill for this game but the gtx 1070 does make a huge difference of course if you want to go higher you can go higher but as far as a near 4k experience goes I'm not really gonna complain here alright I will say it's not too bad playing for night on touchscreen it's a lot better on a actual controller when you get a mouse and keyboard especially with a nice setup that you're able to get at least 60 frames-per-second on for tonight feels so much better it's crazy of how this video started and where we are now so that my friends is fortnight on every single system that you can play it on right now so everything from a 200 ollar potato quality PC all the way up to something that actually can play it it basically 4k maxed out but of course the real question is how does the Android version gonna lock oh boy I can't wait to play that
