Spider-Man PS4 adds Fantastic Suits

Insomniac teased a “fantastic” update regarding their Spider-Man title. Fans predicted new Spider-Man suits in relation to the Fantastic Four. Two new suits have been added. The Bombastic Bag-Man and the Future Foundation Spider-Man suit. Both are suits worn by Peter Parker when he was involved with the team. The suits are free!

The Bombastic Bag-Man appeared when Peter needed help removing the Symbiote suit. He asked Reed Richards for help and while he looked for a replacement, Johnny Storm gave him a Fantastic Four suit with a bag to hide his identity.

The Future Foundation suit was for Peter when he joined the Future Foundation after the passing of Johnny Storm.

How to improve at Fortnite: Have a better computer

There’s a current bug in patch 7.20 in Fortnite. If you’re playing on a Nintendo Switch or a weak PC, your frames rate are usually 30. This is actually worse for players as a lower frame rate means your maximum fire rate will be lower.

Reddit user 0x011A tested how fast certain guns fired on different frame rates. If you notice below, it takes longer to empty an entire clip when playing with lower frame rate.

No fire rate buffs

30 FPS: 3.942 seconds (Actual fire rate = 15.22)
60 FPS: 3.95 seconds (Actual fire rate = 15.19)
120 FPS: 3.45 seconds (Actual fire rate = 17.39)

With War Cry (18 fire rate –> 23.4)

30 FPS: 3.942 seconds (Actual fire rate = 15.22)
60 FPS: 2.967 seconds (Actual fire rate = 20.222)
120 FPS: 2.93 seconds (Actual fire rate = 20.478)

Eurogamer also tested it against metal gates and noticed its 1.44 seconds difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS. Although it may not seem long, the time can be the difference between life and death. Higher frame rate such as 120 or 300 makes little difference.

Epic is currently looking into the issue

Bowsette denied by Nintendo

Confirmed by Nintendo, Bowsette is impossible to create. According to Nintendo’s New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe website, only Toadette can use the website. Not sure why Luigi is mentioned in the item description when the true desire for the item was Bowser.

At least we will always have fanart, animations, ~~Tumblr,~~ and more.
