Fortnite PS4 vs Xbox One vs Switch vs PC vs iPhone! #Helpful Post

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
