Fortnite adopts key GTA 5 mechanic with new Most Wanted Event

Epic Games' latest Fortnite update is here and it has introduced a unique Grand Theft Auto V feature to the battle royale shooter, via the Most Wanted event, with the promise of free cosmetics and lots of fun. We didn't know Fortnite needed what is effectively a wanted level, but Epic Games has given it one and you're going to want to become familiar with how it actually works.

So, what do you actually need to know about the new wanted system feature available in Fortnite? Well, the first thing to note is that it's not actually called a wanted system - and it doesn't deal in stars like it does in GTA 5. During the Fortnite Most Wanted event, players have a Heat Level in-game - which is represented by four flame icons in the top left of your screen.

This Heat Level is going to increase when you eliminate enemies in-game, or if you spend gold to automatically increase it, and you'll get in-game buffs depending on how high your Heat Level is. If you're spending gold, it's important to note that it's going to cost you 500 gold to up your heat level - or 500 gold to decrease it.

There's a lot of wacky fun to be had in Grand Theft Auto 5. If you're like me, however, you enjoy something a bit more grounded -- you want a world that feels truly believable. With the GTA 6 release date still on its way, thankfully, there's a new mod to make the state of San Andreas more realistic than ever.

One of the industry's more skeptical CEOs thinks AI tools will 'raise the bar' for videogames

Over the past few years of listening to gaming executives talk about the industry during earnings reports, I've found Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick to be one of the more circumspect bosses in the business. He's been relaxed about the rise of Xbox Game Pass, noting whenever he's asked about it that subscriptions are still a small part of the business, and he didn't declare NFTs to be the future of commerce five minutes after finding out about them. It's a low bar, but it's mildly refreshing to hear a tech exec respond to buzzwords with something other than a golden retriever's unconditional enthusiasm. So it went on Monday when Zelnick was asked during an investors call what he thought of advances in AI tech, at least at the start of his response...
