  • Since the release of Fortnite, there have been many different character models. These character models were quickly reused to make more and more skins. However, this wasn't where the problem began and in this video I cover the exact problem with reskins in Fortnite. Be sure to let me know your thoughts down in the comments below!

    The biggest problem I have with Reskins is that there are so many unique characters out there from previous battle passes that can't return to the game and instead of reskinning them and putting them in the store, they reskin Peely and Jonesy 30 times.

      You're right, there are some battle passes that I couldn't get in their moment because of many reasons(I didn't have enough money or v-bucks to buy the battle pass) and getting reskins of iconic skins would be great but as you say, we only get peely, fishstick, jonesy or even meowscles reskins:(

    Reskins are fine if they're part of an event or rarity like Frost or Lava Series. But Jack Sparrow did not need a separate skin. An edit style would have been perfectly fine. With the addition of Lego there will be more issues like this. It's more profit wise as well.

    2:30 Wrong. I want his gold touch and his suit, which only the original Midas has. Shadow has the suit, but no gold touch. And Midsummer has the gold touch, but no suit.
    That was until they made Meowdas, which fulfils both my criteria (love that skin btw). But my point is that not everyone is gonna have the same reasons for liking a skin, so you can't really make a statement as to why people buy the skin, and then say "everyone thinks this way."
    And I think this is why Epic makes a lot of reskins (outside of money lol), because there's many different aspects to a skin (like Midas' eye, gold touch, hair, tattoos, etc.) that they can remix. So a lot of skin remixes/reskins end up happening.

    We literally do need to make a petition to bring back rarities because they completely lied when they said “the removal of rarities will not affect pricing of cosmetics” like what? Are you kidding?

    Unrelated but I just wanna say something that really bothers me with people using the term reskin for a lot of skins. Skins like Tilted Teknique, Summitseeker Evie, and Breezeable are not reskins of Teknique, Evie and and Isabelle because they're not one to one copies of their original skins, they're remakes that use the previous skins of existed that use the characters but change the skins. Calling them doesn't feel right because they're not like Blue Team Leader or Andromeda being recolors of Recon Specialist and Sorina, because then every Rio skin like Volley Girl and Chill Count, or every Jonesy skin like Skull Trooper and Vengeance Jones is a reskin of each other which just isn't true.

    hot take: i love when people have the mindset “i have this skin, but i would want other people to have it.” never say never right? i mean, it’s almost 2025.. we need to move forward, not backwards.. & at the end of the day they are the only ones who can change it fr. i’ll be set w just having jules 1st style and not the rest. i would be good w the 1st (or how many styles i can get within the pages of tier 100) style of the skins i’ve missed. skins SHOULD be for EVERYONE & not locked. the game is for everyone right?! exactly. if they wanted to, make it where old bp skins/cosmetics, can return but only to tier 100, not bonus rewards or super styles. so og can hush abt their “exclusivity.” (which caring abt rarity & exclusive in 2024 are just i don’t know odd? like they’re not earning money from owning the skin lol :p ) but as i was saying, those who owned the bp originally & didn’t finish, they should have a chance to finish it. this game would be better off without exclusivity and rarity bc why are people be pressed abt a pixel in a game, the game is for everyone. it would be different if they actually earned money from those skins lol. it removes the toxicity in the community & we don’t need it. i cannot fathom. bc bffr, if someone wants a skin that i have and they don’t. i would want them to have it whether it’s a bp or shop skin. i’m not abt to crush people’s joy over it. that’s just no. i ain’t abt to be one of those people that gets pressed over someone having the same skin as me. like i don’t care. i don’t care if they got it before or after me. it doesn’t affect me. having skins i bought and i love the most is more important bc they make the game more enjoyable. not rarity, not exclusively. 🤷🏽‍♀️ anyways, only epic can decide & they should’ve did this from the start, if i’m being completely honest w you. let people get what skins they love in fortnite. yall aren’t gonna di3 irl just bc of a pixel period. it’s pathetic atp. we too old for this.‼️

    The reason why Renzo and Kuno are more expensive as re-colored skins than brand new characters is because those two have an already established fanbase, while the new ones are just starting to gain traction. It's just business and marketing 101.

    • @TheKidDrippy
      @TheKidDrippy  3 місяці тому

      But you could say the same thing for Aura, sparkplug, siren, which all have an FNCS skin. Aura is the most used skin while siren is within the top 10, and then sparkplug is beyond popular from Clix. Sooooo I mean how is it that Kuno and Renzo are 200 v-bucks more because of them having a ‘fan base’ when clearly other Fncs skins are on par or even more popular than them. The reason is, like I said in the video, because of Kuno and renzo being MORE than just a recolor, epic actually changed their clothing. All the other FNCS skins were just reskinned and nothing else changed, that’s why

But considering that’d be breaking epics word and promise of battle pass cosmetics never returning prior to C5S4, which is why they’ll probably never come back unless the skins are given an extra style (og style); Reskinning the old battle skins would be their best bet.

    Cuddle team leader is 2000 right...
    Then
    Clover team leader is 800
    But they're basically the same concept
    Throwing into this
    Quackling was also 800 v bucks and is the same, EXCEPT damn, there's 4 colours to choose from
    It just feels like a cheap excuse to make skins cost more
    I dont even wanna get into everything else
    Music and lego passes costing more than the actual pass
    Songs costing 500
    Random lego shelves and a bed costing between 250-500-750

I get they came with weapons (I think) but for that price they should have came with a glider too at least. And it was pretty quick after they removed rarities that it happened

    Like how Shadow Midas and Ascendant Midas look like OG Midas a lot but turns gold over time instead of it just being a style

    Now I see your point and have no issue with most of your opinion but if I may put my thoughts on the table idk some of the reskin u mentioned are as much of a reskin they have slight varying differences Ex:Meowcles I'd say being fine due to the multiple different versions giveing some slight texture and design changes with maybe a new pair of Jean's and some different types of feet for claws the little things I guess still not justified for the price but idk if I would call them a reskin problem just lazy and ascendant midas your totally right is a great example of a reskin done right with more to enjoy yet still keeps the original owners happy even has the ability to toggle off the golden touch and to finish up i dont mind to justify some slight changes on every skin now as was with meowcles some difference are barely or entirely going unnoticed but for the majority some are increasing in price since the removal of rarity and it didn't help the FNCS skins at all I dont think clothes u can wip up in a few minutes to an hour on a skin that is practically the same with a slightly alternated outfit is justified and especially one of a battle pass skin just thrown in but recolored now unlike some model adjustments at least with the meowcles skin there were different claws for feet and textures on the Jean's and the attachments are different on some variations of the skin but the battle pass renzo reskin was a prime lazy effort because the original character underneath changed none and charged 200 more now this a problem in my opinion and hopefully we see more amazing original skins come to the game that actually get the treatment done right loved the video keep it up and would love to hear your opinion and potentially play and chat on this topic?

    To me reskins are completely okay but if we are going to make a reskin of someone to change the colors of them atleast make is like 300-500 VB. Like in league skins have "recolors" (aka chromas if you play league) and these chromas are just different colors of the skin that cost money 250 rp. Changes nothing but the color. I am all for epic trying to make money but they need to realize us Consumers aren't all millionaires. I'd love to have all the recolors of a skin I love like for example all of the midas ones would be nice to have but that's like $60 for a pallete change

  • @SodaPopBot
    @SodaPopBot 3 місяці тому +6

    Ascendant Midas is a great thematic reskin, but I still think there should be reskins that keep to the original design even closer. I see no reason to feel petty nor gatekeep digital skins and put down people who missed out (it's not a skill issue to be not exposed to video game marketing). Silhouette/haircut/fashion and colour matter a lot, and if the OG is someone's peak design but they can't have it, that's a pain. I like Lynx, but I don't like her recent Renegade reskin that much because of the colours and particles. It's fusing two things, and becoming something new. Not horrible, but not to my taste. Like, let's say you really want a basic playable Super Mario, but you can never ever get him anymore, aside from Luigi, or a Zombie Mario with glowing red eyes and a crop top. Though we can buy a Summer Brutus, it doesn't exactly carry the same hitman vibe, does it? So while very minor reskins that are just colour edits/have something mildly different would be lazy, especially for those who already own the original character, it's frankly the only solution to the exclusivity crap, so I invite it in most cases.
    ...Not in the case of Ariana Grande though lol

    • @TheKidDrippy
      @TheKidDrippy  3 місяці тому +2

      GREAT POINTS! Relating reskins to the overall theme of the original is actually a HUGE deal, and I’m glad you brought it up. Because a lot of these reskins take an entirely different approach when it comes to theme, and then the skins just don’t hit anywhere near the same as the original. Thank you for sharing this, I heavily agree with everything you said here 🙂

    People need to understand the difference between reskins and remixes.
    Ill use Midas as an example. Ascendant Midas is not a reskin as it is 90% different. Ascendant Midas is a remix. Shadow Midas is just a recolour, so it is a reskin
    Also I feel like youre misunderstanding peoples issue with reskins. Nobody is mad about "battle pass skins being recoloured and sold into the shop", it is just the high amount of reskins. No one was mad when Shadow Midas released, as he was one of the first Midas reskins. Everyone was happy he was getting a reskin, people got mad when they kept reskinning him

    I completely understand where you’re coming from but some of those recolors are really a good thing. Like to use your own example, if you weren’t able to get the original Midas a recolor would fantastic way to have a version of him that’s really similar.
    Now for just an item shop skin it’s a little ridiculous since I’d rather it just be added as an extra style for the original skin like how they used to do that and give you a new style for old skins a lot. Example being the original fish stick skin got like 3 extra styles overtime.
    But yet again nothing says we have to buy those recolors either 🤷‍♀️

    I honestly think recolour should've never been seperate skins but instead edit styles.
    So let's say you own OG Midas. You then press on Edit and then you can choose between OG Midas as well as any other recolour. And if you don't own that recolour,it'll be locked. The same counts when you own the recolour but not the OG. And maybe make it where you pay full price for the skin but when you wanna buy a recolour variant it'll cost you only 500 vbucks instead of another full priced skin. Which wouldn't be too far fetched off to other games because recoloured skins are basically just things like shaders in other games. And that's literally basically what recolours are in Fortnite. A Frozen Red Knight is a Red knight with a frost shader,nothing more. All the new crew skins just run shaders now.
    Like for example Volpez should've just been a 500 vbucks edit style for fennix instead of a 7 month long crew pass thing with a whole new character lore out of nowhere. It should've just stayed "Winter Warrior Fennix" variant.
