You Want To Work Hard To Get An Awesome Skin Rather Than Just Get It At The Start Of The Game? Hades Makes Sense I Guess I Would Say Hades Is Probably The Best.
thats what I was saying , rhey had the golden opportunity to make this battle pass rad. but they went the way they always do...but on a good note...map changes were great
I'm pretty sure I heard this from a sypherPK video maybe on a reddit video saying that she's trying to blend in with the mortals aka us and theres an unreleased edit style that could be similar to concept art.
I think they do that on purpose to be really honest. Why? Cuz bps ate cheap. Notice that cerberus looks exactly the same. They can make it identical, they just chose to not do it because if people have awesome skins from a cheap bp in 3 months they will have less will to spend on item shop skins. that's my theory.
I think another one of the main problems with the Aphrodite skin is you don’t think Greek at all, let alone Greek Goddess of Beauty. There’s nothing to link her to Greek at all, the heart links her to love but it could easily be overlooked as a small detail to make her seem more girly. I think the concept art is fairly translatable to game, and the fact that they’ve followed the concept art very closely with other skins show that they at least could have kept more of her aspects from the art. I personally don’t have a problem with her short hair, but I DO have beef that they didn’t give her a head piece like literally all the others skins. How is the literal Goddess of Beauty the least accessorized?? And giving her sneakers made her seem less graceful, she is an ancient deity of beauty, if she were to wear more modern everyday shoes, it would probably be heels. Heck, I feel like boots would’ve been better then SNEAKERS. The sneakers honestly make her look like a tennis player. There also bulky, at least make them smaller. I thought the Medusa skin was fine until I looked at the concept art. She was fine but that’s because I didn’t know what we could’ve had. I wish she had more hair/snakes. People said she looked like Sombra but I thought Deuce from Monster High. However Deuce has scales on his skin, which makes it seem like he’s actually a snake monster. And in Gen 3, he’s literally green and has serpentine eyes. Her outfit is fine, but it’s like snake skin/PRINT rather then actual scales. Or more specifically, literally any type of scales. They could be fish scales for all we know! In her art, with the bottom half, it’s like a snake tail. Which makes sense because if she didn’t have legs, she would have a tail. And the white plush in her collar reminds me vaguely of the underside/belly of a snake. Which again, makes sense because it’s near her belly, and if she were a snake, her front would be her belly. Also apparently people have problems with the Artemis skin?? I’m not as much of a fan girl for Artemis as I am for Aphrodite (still love her though) but I thought it looked great. If it’s the hair, I think it looks great. It looks sculpted and I love that detail of it. Some people used a.i to make skins they called better, and a problem I had with that is the skins looked the same. This is a game, they need to make unique designs so they don’t seem copy paste. Artemis having stars or the night as her body and hair is probably Epic Games leaning towards her Goddess of the Moon theme. Even if she seems more night then moon, which would be Nyx, but I don’t think they can plaster moons all over. Hades (gosh I don’t even want to think about his design, why is he a robot???) they could lean towards black, chains, smoke, and skulls, PALE SKIN RATHER THEN METAL SKIN. Poseidon, which is a good skin but I wish we got an actual Poseidon Poseidon skin, hair that looks like it’s wet, shades of blue, shells, water, fish, foam, anything sea related! Aphrodite, pink, white, red, roses, pearls, dove wings, just make her beautiful and girly, make her graceful PLEASE. I spent too long typing this but my feelings are just too strong and I went too far that I would cry if I just erased this. So don’t make fun of me please.
That's why I keep myself from hyping skins in Fortnite so I can get less disappointed. There are other examples of skins that suffered a severe downgrade when they were released in game. I don't why Epic does this, but its starting to get common.
In all honesty I didn’t really pay much attention to Aphrodite’s skin, I’ve honestly been enjoying running around as Zeus throwing lightning at others in team rumble🤣
We still have like 2 pages of Querst rewards that are still not seen/in game. it's possibible that we get the concept art as edit style later in the season
Quest pages don't change the outfit, it'll probably be a recolor of her base style , her dress, collar headpiece, and sandals won't get added is my train of though She's stuck as a downgraded skin, which sucks and I nobody has a clue why they changed it for the worse
That’s obviously not true at all I mean medusas edit style is literally proof I know a lot of skins that have edit styles that completely change their look
@nok4799 You assuming that because? I'm guessing you think that just because Cerberus is a recolor, but they don't always do the same things, look at Oscar they made him glow and had electricity. You say the skin's bad, but what about the second style it isn't that bland, and it makes her feel like Aphrodite.
Aphrodite wearing sneakers?!? She would never wear sneakers. I get that they are trying to make the Characters accessible to younger players, but you need to keep the base of what the characters are. Also. If you make his kilt straight across and take the pants off Zeus, all his styles would look much better.
Making her really hot would make her accessible to younger players based on how much "edging" and "gooning" is such a big meme. In the woke world of 2024, somehow people don't think sex sells.
I think Aphrodite looks fine. The concept does look better. But Aphrodite in game by no means looks bad. Also I prefer the in game Medusa over concept art, I like the side part with the snakes, it’s an interesting take.
Aphrodite’s outfit legit just looks like Hope’s outfit. And her hair looks like Evie’s hair and she looks like Antonia. They could’ve done so much better but oh well.
The problem is they kinda split it into two styles, making the first more casual and the second one pink, i'd say they could bandaid fix it by allowing both colors on each style, making the second one look a bit more like the concept. if they don't do that at least have white and gold for the alt style as a quest reward theres some hope. ps i realllly like the first one but i think this is a good idea to appeal to people who saw the concept first
Nope, just recolors for their base styles, they never really add any accessories, and definitely won't fix Aphrodites horrible buttered design💀 she would need everything they took from her, back Medusa is just going to have a green recolor. Only way I'd use these two is if In the superstyles (next page after the quest rewards) we get a marble super style, so everybody looks like Greek statues
@@nok4799 damn. Well marble might be a style but the theme of the first three leaks are likely gonna be styles too, like galaxy esq constellation like theme
I always feel like the concept art looks better then the skins that release. More often than not its just the stylization changes cause it has to fit the game's art style. But what i really hate is when designs are just completely changed. Looking at Aphrodite, her costume looks plane compared to the outfit seen in the concept.
This was likely the ESRB meddling with the design considering they have a big hand in messing with stuff to “protect the children”, she still looks great imo but I’ll never understand why they change that much stuff
I personally have only one problem with it and that is that the heart should maybe be removable but with a style but the skin in the Concept may be a quest style since we havent seen all the quest rewards
I think showing survey skins is a mistake because all people do now when a new skin releases is compare it to the survey art not realizing the concept of, well, concept art
@@SnaxxHaxTV yeah epic did shit on a lot of designs, I mean look at Odyssey in concept vs. in game, the concept has an original helmet instead of a reused asset for the one in game.
I didn’t see the concept art before the battle pass came out but this video was so true. They Fortnite team was definitely missing some important details when they made the skins, and these details in the art definitely made the skin pop out more and look more interesting.
@@theboyinthedark6521 In one of the loading screens she is taking a picture with a phone and it is said that she enjoys the wonders created by the mortals, but I can understand your point. Maybe Epic made her the way she is to show her association with the mortals.
Tbh I wanted Aphrodite to look more like a Greek Goddess. It feels like Epic is holding back and I don’t know why. I also don’t care for them slapping Fortnite accessories onto most of the skins, it feels lazy and played out. I like Aphrodite’s 2nd edit style I just wish she had her crown and long hair. Elements that everyone knows made her, her. Feels like someone is intentionally sabotaging it.
Everyone keep in mind both her and Medusa are gonna receive an extra style that isn’t a super level edit style later in the season. For Medusa her new style is already fully in the game’s files and what it does is that it gives her green snakes and a green dress while as for Aphrodite we don’t know what her style looks like and we only know that it’s called “Heartbreaker” which some are theorizing is her original survey art version.
My only issue with the battle pass is that they make Poesidon a meme skin which as someone who does actually worship the greek gods, it does feel a bit upsetting to see them do Poesidon like that
Imagine Aphrodite gets that concept art design as a style once the bonus rewards are unlocked, it’s a good opportunity for Epic to really connect with the community on the frustration.
Most likely due to poor time management. Sculptors probably couldn't squeeze out full details in time so they decided to scrap some in order to have the skin make it in game on time. Sucks but that sorta thing happens in live service games all the time.
I have a feeling that Aphrodite and Medusa (Mainly Aphrodite as her's is so much more different) will get their concept art forms as a style in the quest rewards tab in the battle pass, as they both seem pretty important to the story. But it's still sad we don't get to see them right away as they both look awesome.
This is why people shouldn't fully like concepts, concepts can change whenever and some in game models are way better then the concept. I don't care if she's meant to be the godness of love this skin is my favourite one in the battlepass
i think a good comparison would be shanta from the chapter 3 season 1 battle pass im going off of memory but im pretty sure you got her pretty early on and you got quests to unlock more armor and accessories to add to her base style and take off whenever you want
The girls deserved better, I think Artemis looks the best though. Aphrodite looks too pedestrian, they should’ve kept her head crowns and sandals at the very least. The tennis shoes don’t really fit her. The outfit looks like forever 21, Antonia wore it better. She needed more oomph. Medusa’s gown looks regal in the concept art, but her in game model’s gown is insulting. It looks like a shower curtain. I think her gown-less look is the better of the two.
Kratos users should be happy she is in the game if you ever seen the you know what part in one of the games, also this is definitely going to be a bonus style because I never seen them rework a survey skin
there's three things you can almost always expect from the battle passes now, an ugly skin, a collab skin, and an anime skin, sometimes all three in one
It's a concept art not the actually planned design for the skin. Concept usually are that good looking because it is the artist flexing their skills not them actually coming up with a fully confirmed design.
@@gtuesdaythey have literally kept past concept art skins 100% faithful in the past, and even currently, with Cerberus, I do not buy that as a excuse lol
I was so hyped about Aphrodite when I first saw concept art before ever this season's trailer. I mean, her fit and hair were so much better, this skin actually had some personality rather than being this season's Antonia. I really like Antonia, but having second Antonia isn't cool. I really hope she's gonna have one more edit style fitting to the concept art.
The concepts were all the gods were supposed to be evil so they had darker designs but whenever the story came into play Aphrodite is a hero in Medusa is also a hero so they had to change it two depicted that they were Heroes so they change the concept to show that
I’m sure Aphrodite is gonna get a quest reward that turns her into that because no way epic cripples her this badly but even without the original form she’s a pretty good skin
I have a few complaints: 1) Cerberus isn't a dude he's a dragon-dog with THREE heads. This design constantly reminds me of Anubis rather than anything from Greek myth. 2) I know Medusa is the Pikachu of Greek myth , but she ISN'T a deity. What is it with treating her like she is one across pop media? 3) Apollo and Hermes didn't make it in 🥺. The Apollo skin and the runner's suit Hermes (I know the armor version was very popular but I like the "little brother of the gods" concept better) are dope!
I think this is one of the best battlepasses, very cool skins, I like both versions of Aphrodite, I can see it also it being much easier to cosplay with the version we got ingame. And I mean, concept art is just, concept, I think it satisfied that :D
Why did they ruin Poseidon he was my favorite Greek god and they turned him into a joke like all the other god characters look normal and then there is poor Poseidon
Aphrodite and Poseidon are the only skins I feel don't really hit the mark on their respective gods; Aphrodite is supposed to be a goddess of beauty but her adaptation looks more like an e-girl saying her outfit is "Aphrodite-core" (granted, Immortal Aphrodite looks so cool) and Poseidon is too goofy to be Poseidon. Every other skin is an absolute slapper though. Cerberus' two other heads being the lapel of his jacket is a very awesome and stylistic change that fits super well with Fortnite's art style. Medusa definitely got a less extravagant outfit compared to the survey, but I honestly much prefer her newer style. I don't think her snake-skin dress is at all lazy, the way it writhes and moves is weirdly unnerving and I think her more sleek outfit compared to her more puffed-up and flashy one from the survey fits better when you understand her lore. The only real problem I have with either Medusa is the hair, I think the side part is lazy and she really should have a hair down style. Zeus having grenades and (weirdly massive) shotgun shells on his outfit seems, at first, a little odd, but learning that his entire in-lore goal is to wipe out mortal life as we know it makes a lot more sense. Artemis looks amazing, I don't even think I need to explain my thoughts on this she just looks so cool. The hair modeling is great, the starry texture with the arrows on her waist as opposed to the usual ammunition looks so good, and her extra style giving her a hood and mask is very fitting. I think Hades' adaptation is one of the best ones this season. His dark, smoky, chains and skulls aesthetic really fits with his extremely regal coat, his shoulders being extremely broad and exaggerated and his large crown. I know the gas mask seems a little strange to some people but personally? One of the most fitting changes that could've been made to a Hades interpretation. With the very gaseous themes, his mask just sort of makes sense? Absolute yap session, but people are spending too much time on the negatives of this season. Yes, the Zeus mythic is not fun to counter. Yes, the weapon balancing is a little whack. But the new medallions are extremely fun and change how you play the game, and most of the battle pass skins are awesome.
I do think they should have kept at least the scale formation from Medusa's concept art, but what they did with her was still enough to make my heart race. And that thing she does with her eyes and cheeks in the reactive version is such a good touch. As for Poseidon, I'll say that I thought it was dumb at first, but Epic always puts one silly skin in the battle pass and I just figured they rolled the dice on Poseidon and tbh that's fair. Zeus is the big bad so you can't really make him goofy. Medusa and Aphrodite are our lead heroes from this pantheon (the former being more of an anti-hero who's just doing anything she can to oppose the gods and the latter actually wanting to help humanity). And Hades and Cerberus are almost always guaranteed to be serious because of the nature of death and the underworld. Poseidon was the obvious choice to get silly-fied. Though tbh, I think they should have made Poseidon a serious-looking bonus skin and made Dionysus a BP skin to fill the silly role. Party animal Dionysus.
Here’s my theory. I think the reason that these concept skins keep on changing from the art is because they’re CONCEPT art which means that is most likely going to change (whether it’s good or not) their are going to be changes happing. There are only a few cases where nothing changes (like Cerberus). Though I do think that most of the time the concept Is better, I do expect their to be changes (wether they’re good or not. But hey that’s just a theory A GAME THEORY, thanks for reading
my theory is that they want to nerf the default versions of bp skins so that you get hype and want to grind for the edit skin instead of getting a default bp skin that already looks really good early in tiers
I might skip this battle pass but I kind of want Korra The characters in this pass either boring or overdesigned. Maybe over design but the most appealing characters seem to be Cerberus and Hades. Everyone else just kind of sucky
the first and third one should get a little revamp to look like GODS, they look like those dresses runway models wear or first the first one, like a highschool girl cosplaying as a god going to a Halloween party
I do understand them trying to keep things like the frame rate and everything up to par by making the skins not take up that much memory I'm not to sure really with the logistics, but you see Artimis and Cerbeus with there level of extra detail, they could atleast eith Aphrodite add those extra little details. With Medusa, it is more understandable sense you can't necessarily get that depth of scales without sacrificing some game performance
