The irony in all these companies trying to sell their products on the Fortnite metaverse but literally this is the first time I'm hearing of any of these
Well, they likely paid the map developers FAR less than they would've paid a production company to make a television commercial. So to them, I'm sure even a couple hundred squishy little kid brains soaking in their marketing on Fortnite is enough to justify it.
I'm glad someone made a video on these because I find these maps to be such bizarre oddities and it feels like barely anyone even knows about them. Which is surprising considering they're officially licensed, albeit with no direct involvement from Epic as far as I know. They kind of remind me of that weird mini-trend from a few years back where brands would make islands and downloadable clothing designs in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
I know I’m probably the only one who remembers it but I miss the first ever branded Fortnite creative map I pretty sure it was called Weezer World and was very impressive for it being the first theme park map on Fortnite
My question is why cars and gasoline are being advertised to kids. Adults won’t be swayed by these map or even play them. I mean what’s next the hub will make a map for fortnite? Actually that would be hilarious.
Kids absorb information like a sponge, if you advertise to them they’ll remember it subconsciously for the rest of their life, making them more likely to remember the brand that was being advertised. Think of it as an investment.
Hey! I used to be with Zen Creative, the team behind the Mio map. While I wasn't involved in that project (they made it before I joined the team), we sometimes joked about how broken it became. Fortnite maps often break due to game updates and maintaining them is a lot of work. Teams will usually only fix maps if brands pay for their upkeep. The brands usually don't. The maps just get left to rot and break. I noticed you played a lot of maps that are a year old or more, so it was clear why they weren't working for you~ It honestly wasn't surprising 😭 If you ever try brand maps out again, I'd say go for ones that were launched in the past month or two at the time of recording! Newer ones are typically updated with bugs fixes until the hype dies down. If you have any questions about what it's like to make a branded map I'd be happy to answer the best I can!
I checked the updates for each map I played, and the majority of the maps I played were actually updated within the year. But I totally understand your point, and I'm very aware of that as a general issue. It's something I discussed in my "The REAL Problem with Fortnite Creative" video. I definitely wasn't trying to make the glitches in these maps the focus though, more the general strangeness and forced nature of them. I would love to talk with you further though as developer if you're still doing it. I am planning on doing a future video that will feature several interviews with developers. If you're on Twitter, you can hit me up there if you're interested!
As someone that plays a lot in the JP servers, looking at official maps created for last year's Super Sentai (King OhGer) was really cool. They've created the maps to look just like the setting for the show, the main palace and even a part of the city that appears in the show, it was basically an ad for Bandai toys of that season but man it was cool to see it in Fortnite, too bad it was temporary and you cannot access them anymore. Oh well...
Yeah there were actually a lot of interesting branded maps that I found out about that were, as you mentioned, temporary or only for private tournaments
I love how much effort you put into these videos I have enjoyed every video I have watched from your channel and you have brought back my interest in the creative mode
Allow or didn't notice? That's the real question. A surprising amount of stuff gets past them sometimes, but it's usually stuff on maps no one plays... unless they're intentionally looking for them to make a ridiculous video around it.
Bro why do you not have more subs you're like my favorite youtuber! You deserve more subs, people need to see channel and the great vids u make!!! your videos always help me find cool maps and your vids are always the highlight of my day when you upload, much love man 🫶
@@SeeDaveRun I think you'll get the subs and views you deserve sometime soon, you're one of the few creators nowadays that I have a lot of respect for, I'm excited future videos and to see even more people start watching, and congrats on 5k subs man you deserve it and it's a slow grind but I'll be here the whole way 🫶
@@SeeDaveRun I was mainly in texas scoping work out, due to contracts drying up on the east coast somewhat for IT. I was expecting sonic tier at the very least akin to how everyone praises caynes for the chicken and sauces.
To be honest, the Whataburger I had in Austin wasn't as good as the ones I would go to in Arizona. So maybe the home state of Whataburger has lost its touch for it. And also damn you for bringing up Cane's, we also don't have those here 😭. I was grossly unaware of how many restaurants I would be losing moving to WA.
Look at you, very witty! It was more of a commentary of how terribly it was set up in that you start in the old truck, then just get teleported into a newer vehicle.
If you wanna go big, get the patty melt, BBQ chicken tender sandwich, onion rings, a side of their creamy pepper sauce and ranch, then get their Dr. Pepper shake. Maybe split it with someone though lol.
Is anyone else going to point out? they just copied and paste. The game they already made. on the Xbox store. with the exact same name. and the exact same features”.💀 10:17
You are probably the only person watching this that noticed that, and now I think we legally have to be friends 😂. I can't promise more ZAMN music, but I hope you stick around regardless.
I had the Sega Rumble Vest when we got ZAMN originally and having that cranked up when I got hit by the chainsaw guys in the maze, genuinely freaked me out as a kid lol
I'm not really here to just promote maps, to be honest. I'm always looking for cool maps to highlight in future videos though, so you're welcome to pass along your map code. I check out just about every map people suggest, I just can't promise they'll make it into a video. Although, I am planning on doing an episode soon that's just focused on reviewing and giving feedback on viewer submitted maps. I'll have a post about that out soon.

an ad for gasoline... in a children's game... anyone else see how this isn't gonna work out for them?
If I know anything about kids - and I don't - it's that they LOVE good Premium Gasoline.
Fortnite isnt for children, it is for teens
Be so for real. Most people who play this game aren’t even old enough to drive yet cmon now
@@cheerful_crop_circleteens are children
As a child. I’m very glad they put my favorite drink in the game.
I can tell the creator they hired for the shell map knew what they were doing
Why does the Whataburger map go so hard
I know! I'm hoping for a thank you basket from them full of chicken tender sandwiches as a reward for promoting their map
@@SeeDaveRun ong least they could do after you gave em free promotion
What-a-map

the shell map is 98% prefabs they spent like an hour on friday lunch break to make it lmao
Still better maps then red VS blue
Favourite Fortnite channel rn haha great stuff!!
I seriously appreciate that bud, thank you!
Imagine if the Honda Prolouge was added as a Rocket Racing cosmetic. It could be a reality cause we have Nissan, Tesla, and BMW in game
Seeing how short it's battery life was in that map, not sure I'd wanna drive it around much

It would be nice if these maps gave out like free cosmetics or something, cause I ain’t playing them just for XP
are yall not gonna talk about Weezer World and DBZ Adventure island/episode theater
I don't believe either of those are in the game anymore, and they're also not really the kind of branded maps I was talking about
@@SeeDaveRun fair
I love how much effort you put into these videos I have enjoyed every video I have watched from your channel and you have brought back my interest in the creative mode
Thank you so much! And I really appreciate how much investment you put into your username
I thought it was a very creative username aswell
I always love these creative map videos. Very entertaining and love the style of editing
Much appreciated! Hope to see you stick around for more
These maps are so unbelievably dystopian
thought the title said 'Braindead fortnite maps" and just went with it since it's brands
Surely the Shell one is a parody... mein gott :D
I wish, but sadly...
“Babe, wake up! SeeDaveRun uploaded!”
I'm up! I'm up!
Great video bro, got yourself a new subscriber 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Welcome to the party, my dude, happy to have ya!
Breakfast in Bedwars tournament when?
When they pay me to host one
Sign me up
3:10 they allow this in Fortnite?

Damn i sooo love your work...more please, ty
Another SeeDaveRun banger! Out of curiosity, what made you choose Ava/Tarr as your main skin?
Her color combo matches with a lot of cosmetic items, so I can rotate out things with her easier. And her general style is cool.
3:27 Zombies at my Neighbors also this feel like how you fellow kids. We need a part 2
Gold star for noticing the ZAMN track!
@SeeDaveRun My grandma had an SNES for us, and that was one of the games
I had it on Sega with the Rumble Vest peripheral. Good old days lol.
finally someone talks abt it
Little ol' me over here, raising up the voice of the people I guess
I tried whataburger while in texas, it really left a lot to be desired during my vacation.
It's good fast food imo, but if you went in expecting it to be the highlight of your vacation, you might wanna adjust your expectations

Look at you, very witty! It was more of a commentary of how terribly it was set up in that you start in the old truck, then just get teleported into a newer vehicle.
Imagine a Nerf collab! I heard it was concepted but not followed through
I'm imagining that being another brightly color smooth walled arena with the Nerf logo slapped on the wall
This video is so awesome I hope it gets 1 gazillion views
Thank you so much! Share it around, maybe we'll get close
I'm totally not craving a Whataburger after watching the first map and wanting to try it for myself

they killed the llamatron and now the only videos you can stream are fortnites. They could have atleast added different pics of ed sheeran.
The thing is, they had another concert 2 weeks after Ed Sheeran where they did actually have video playing, so not sure what happened with Ed there
one map down and its already a carbon copy of another map. off to a great start here
Yeah, these brands are really committed to bringing grade A original content to the game...
I want a call of duty or battlefield type map but nobody play that’s sad.
keep em comin
Me when i play iheart radio in fortnite
I can't believe I'm in a SeeDaveRun Video! 📸
IHeartLand was probably one of the most fun I've had watching artists! 13:52 (I was the Ed Sheeran, JVKE, and Bailey Zimmerman!)
Sorry I ripped your footage, you're one of the few folks who cared enough to check out those last few concerts!
