Fortnite’s new Chrome season is out now for Ape Splatoon

Fourteen days, it’s fair to say, is a game built on other people’s ideas. At the level of Battlegrounds by PlayerUnknown success, in Swooped Epic, with its flawless, beautifully animated reimagining of the battle royale format. Everything off since then Team Fortress 2‘s medicinal bazooka too OTW‘s chickens too Between us‘ whole game have found their way Fourteen days‘s functions in one way or another. With the new season launched yesterday, it appears to be the latest destination of Epic’s vast gaming vacuum splatoon, Nintendo’s offbeat ink-based shooter.

“Paradise”, the name for Chapter 3 Season 4, sees the game in chrome. That means a parasitic metallic substance takes over people’s bodies and allows them to transform into other human forms, and my goodness, yes, it’s obvious terminator 2. But there is more.

In Paradise, players can now walk through walls with this new T-1000 infection. But with Chrome Splash, they can also inflate themselves so that they hurtle across the floor like a liquid slime as they run. In an eerily similar way to how you can turn into ink and glide Splatoon. The chrome is shot through… neon Paint over the game. Check it all out in the Battle Pass trailer:

Well, let’s be clear, there’s nothing wrong with copying. This is how people developed and all art came about. Anyone attempting to copyright a game mode or feature or prevent others from imitating a game mode or feature would be the villain. At the same time, it has become such a blatant trendand without much public creditwhich is probably lame.

you know what else It looks great! Fourteen days is Yes, really good at taking ideas from other games and implementing them in fun ways. They add their own twists (no need to chrome the floor before sliding over here), they make it look awesome, and they let you be Spider-Gwen while you do it. Maybe Fourteen days should be directly acclaimed for offering this kind of universal crossover, where every licensable feature meets the core idea of ​​every other game, resulting in a game that dominates them all.

It would be foolish to dispute that Fourteen days‘s cancellation of Splatoon‘s movement and paint gun could negatively affect Nintendo’s gameplay. And it would be fair to ask if Splatoon would have ever existed without it portal 2The paint guns. That’s how art works, as I said before. Still, it’s hard to keep your eyebrows completely open at the reveal of each new one Fourteen days To update.
