    Two things, first, why wasn't this at E3? I was hoping to see more about it at E3 but it seems like it slowly died. Second, if this was announced as an Xbox One and PC exclusive, i bet many people would forgive Microsoft for some of their terrible marketing skills. I know i would.

    I am also curious to know the status of this game. The concept sounds great. Hopefully they have just gone dark until they have something great to show....ya know like Half Life 2: Episode 3.

    That's a good question. Really curious to know what they're up to with Fortnite.

    Why? We don't know much about it other that it's some kind of zombie survival thing with a day/night cycle that sounds pretty tower-defense-y.

    I don't think it's suspicious not to see something at E3. Apparently it takes a tremendous amount of time and money to go out of one's way and make an e3 product. I think we'll see less and less stuff at the show that's not just movie-trailers as time goes on.

    I remember Cliff Blezinski answering someone on twitter that it's still in development not too long after E3.

    True, we don't know a lot about it yet. But i like the idea of a tower defense like game that allows you to build your base like they showed previously. Its like combining Minecraft with a third person horde mode. I can't think of a more fun/intense co-op experience like it. Consider me sold.

    I thought Epic never did E3, but I could very well be wrong.
