Epic Games brings houseparty videochat to Fortnite

 


If you ever wanted to know who the hell you are playing with on Fortnite especially those that seriously gets on your nerves and those that make the game really fun then your in luck cause soon, you'll be able to see your friends while you play Fortnite together online due to the fact that Epic is adding a new video chat feature to the battle royale game where players can see live feeds or their friends Inside the game. It will launch on November 18th 2020, though initially, the feature will only be available on PC, Ps4 and Ps5.


The feature is powered by Houseparty, a chat app that Epic acquired last year. In order to use it, you'll need to link your Epic and Houseparty accounts; after that's done you can enable a "Fortnite mode" in the app. After this you can create a party of friends and their live feeds will be displayed on the left hand side of the screen as you play the game. You can create a party of 10 people in the app, though only four will appear in Fortnite.


You'll need a few pieces of hardware to utilize the app. In addition to a PC or Playstation for the game itself, you'll also need to have Houseparty running on an iOS or Android device to serve as your camera. It may sound a bit cluncky.



The Houseparty app will only display your face; the camera will automatically snap to your face and replace everything else with a colourful background. If your face moves off the camera, the feed won't show anything but your background. This was done in part for safety reasons but also to keep things focused.

The above photograph is an evidence of ehat we are talking about, though it is not directly from activision itself but they are truly reliable when it comes to information gathering.

 List of games that supports Ray-tracing Before we start the whole article we'll like to use this opportunity to explain what Ray-tracing is especially for those who are new to this concept. Ray-tracing is a rendering technique that creates more realistic light effects. By using this rendering technique to simulate the physical behavior of light, you'll see it bounce off objects in the virtual world just as it would In reality. While Ray tracing has been around for some time in the film and Tv production Industries, the launch of the Nvidia's RTX graphics cards (late 2018) market the first instance when it could be rendered in real-time, making it possible to incorporate it into video games.
