Track List

Shouldn’t there be a list of the currently available Jam Tracks in Fortnite Festival? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.163.189 (talk) 10:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the one hand, the list of tracks is 10k, and the remaining prose is 9k. That does make it the bulk of the article. On the other hand, comparable games like the Rock Band series have lists of tracks—although in that case, the main articles and lists are long enough that the lists are split off. @Rusty4321 and NegativeMP1: What are your thoughts on this? The list is in line with what's in comparable articles; put it inline, split to a separate list, or do you have other concerns? —C.Fred (talk) 11:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think making it a separate list sounds good since the Jam Tracks are also usable as emotes in other Fortnite modes (STW, BR, Creative) 2A00:23EE:2478:19D8:70C7:AEF4:95DF:6E32 (talk) 11:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can work on making a song track for the Wikipedia article, each list of songs will be separated by the season of festival it came out. WrestleLuxury Wiki (talk) 12:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GAMEGUIDE and WP:GAMECRUFT, no. λ NegativeMP1 12:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unlike the other rhythm games there's been next to no coverage of the actual tracks so this runs aground of GAMEGUIDE. Masem (t) 13:13, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They appear to be making the list anyways despite our comments. λ NegativeMP1 13:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't the Fortnite Festival twitter account post about each upcoming track drop? 5.70.79.57 (talk) 22:57, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We avoid content like that sourced only to non independent or first party sources — Masem (t) 23:14, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

well I find several independent results when I search Fortnite Festival tracks so not sure what you mean 5.70.79.57 (talk) 23:52, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall:
Pass or Fail:

Lead

"perform a song" to "perform songs": Pluralized "song" to match the context where multiple songs are played.
"achieve" instead of "get": "Achieve" is more formal and fits better in this context.
"Each song has four different instruments" to "Each song features four different instruments": "Features" is more descriptive and polished.
"difficulty of the song" to "song's difficulty": Shortened for readability.
"Higher difficulties changing the layouts of songs" to "Higher difficulties change the layouts of the songs": Corrected the tense and clarified the sentence.
"Available songs range from those composed by Epic Games Sound Team to tracks from popular artists": Combined sentences for clarity and flow.
"as a part of the Fortnite launcher" to "as part of the Fortnite launcher": "As part of" is more commonly used.
"Since release" to "Since its release": Clarified "release" to specify the game.
"have released, which change the games promotional material to be themed around a specific featured artist" to "have been introduced, each themed around a specific featured artist": Simplified for clarity.
"allowed the usage of guitar controllers" to "allowed the use of guitar controllers": "Use" is more straightforward.
"built with the controllers in mind" to "designed with these controllers in mind": "Designed" is more formal and precise.
"Fortnite Festival received mixed reviews from critics, with criticism toward the price of songs as well as the gameplay" to "Fortnite Festival received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized the price of songs and the gameplay": Combined sentences and made the critique more direct.

Gameplay

"The player is able to choose" to "The player can choose": Simplified wording.
"respectfully" to "respectively": Corrected the term.
"and when playing them attempt" to "and attempts": Corrected subject-verb agreement.
"with the players score and combo multiplier increasing the more inputs one gets correct" to "Players' scores and combo multipliers increase with accurate inputs": Simplified and clarified the sentence.
"difficulty options" to "difficulty levels": "Levels" is more commonly used in this context.
"Additionally, 'pro' options": Removed quotes for consistency.
"utilizing a different type of note, "hammer-on and pull-off."" to "including "hammer-on and pull-off" notes": Clarified the sentence structure.
"the multipliers will stack" to "the multipliers stack": Simplified for readability.
"serve as" instead of "is used as": More concise.
"The versions of the songs used in this mode are known as "Jam Loops", and are also playable" to "The versions of the songs used in this mode are known as "Jam Loops" and are also playable": Removed unnecessary comma.

Monetization and music selection

"being composed": The use of "being" is unnecessary and slightly awkward in this context.
"are provided to the player": Should use "is" to match the singular subject "selection."
"the player": Repetition can be avoided by using a pronoun.
"has a price of": Can be simplified to "costs."
"are able to": Can be simplified to "can."

Seasons

"are themed around": This is correct, but for parallelism, the second part of the sentence needs to match this plural form.
"adjusts": Should be "adjust" to match the plural "seasons."
"to be based around them": Can be simplified and clarified to "accordingly."
"song": Should be plural "songs" for consistency.
"though made": Awkward phrasing; can be rephrased for clarity.
"Fender branded": Should be hyphenated as "Fender-branded."

Development and release

"Rigopolous": Should be "Rigopulos" for the correct spelling.
"whilst": "While" is more common in American English.
"released on": Should be "was released on."
"to added": Should be "to be added."
"had supplied": "Had" is unnecessary.
"for": Should be "with" to match "compatible with."

Reception

"pointing it out as being": Can be simplified to "pointing out it was."
"with little difference": Awkward phrasing; better as "with few differences."
"found the game be unenjoyable": Should be "found the game to be unenjoyable."
"a great introduction": Should be "as a great introduction."
"as": Should be "to" for correct comparison (thoughts similar to Taylor's and Dustin's).
"towards": Should be "toward."
"was negative": Should be "were negative" to match the plural "responses."
"from the game": Better phrased as "to the game."
"to a": Should be "to be a."
"was effected negatively": Should be "was negatively affected."
"the lack of interactivity": Unnecessary article "the."
