Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The “Metaverse” looks horrendous.”.
The metaverse looks awful: have you seen this colton? I did it looked terrible, it’s actually stunning like i, i thought it was a joke. I saw it many times and i thought that just like some youtuber or tick tock person or something made a fake image and people were like that’s funny and kept pushing it around uh and then only when i sat down here did i realize that it was Actually, real and actually sent out by the mark himself um but yeah. Let’S, let’s, let’s get this on screen! Uh! Okay, you want your screen up just right now, so this is an actual message. Wait! What from mark zuckerberg! I thought this was a exactly. I thought this was like a wee like apparently no apparently this is horizon worlds, we’re launching horizon worlds in france in spain today, so it initially launched in like i think it was canada, the us and uk.
Does he just like have a secret desire to be a v tuber and the meta building the metaverse there’s no way because v tubers look way better. They are way beyond this. Like v, tubers are in a completely different world um than this people are saying, photoshop. No, this is paint like or like. Maybe they uh filled colored cells in excel or something.
This is like pretty much the worst thing. I’Ve ever seen there there’s it was pointed out by uh. I believe plouffe wrote this topic um, that horizon worlds, a free, vr game published by metta uh, was released in december 9th 2021.
It has an 18 plus age restriction. It was initially released, yeah in canada, the us and uk, and it has 300 000 users. As of february second life, a game released in 2003, initially has 900 000 active users now um.
Apparently, this has been updated. It’S somehow worse, that you know, there’s this like whole joke that he like people say that he looks like a lizard or he looks possessed or something that doesn’t help yeah the eyes um, i don’t think there’s a soul behind them, also the game’s already out, so That was a screenshot from the game, so they can’t really like make it much better just like that, like they there’s some message that he sent out apparently about how they’re going to be like working on it and improving it yeah. Of course, it is not rated very well, but i can’t tell if it’s just being review bummed, because it’s facebook um yeah yeah.
I can’t stop looking at this. It’S just such a joke, like, oh, my goodness, so he’s digitally selfieing in front of a monument that looks awful and he looks awful and the other monument behind it. This is button, looks awful right, but he just and the grass looks so amateur and what i think are potentially trees on a mountain look awful, but i have no idea what they even are: um yeah, it’s it’s it’s horrible um. The discussion question is: how is he so proud of something that looks so bad? Is he genuinely clueless? Has he never played a video game before even vr chat looks way better than this yeah? I honestly don’t know. I’Ve been wondering that for quite a while, there are other oculus first party apps that look wildly better like the home yeah, that’s been out for, like ever, oh yeah, astronomically better than this oh yeah, so like it’s not like they’re, not capable of more the beat Saber avatars yeah are like on par, oh they’re, not even trying yeah. Are you talking about the oh? No you’re, not okay? No, no, that’s a different thing! Okay. I was thinking about the like avatar that you use when you have the like.
No, no! No, that’s perspective. Okay, so that’s um, oh v, vr me or something like that. Vr me, ready player, ready player me yeah yeah you can create. You can create an avatar of yourself at this level of quality. In like minutes here, choose your body type.
Take a photo all out. Look we’re gon na we’re gon na go through the process. I’M gon na make yeah. I’M gon na make a better avatar than mark zuckerberg with his billions of dollars in metaverse funding and i’m gon na.
Do it on this crappy webcam. One moment please: oh, oh no, i should pick a file. I should pick a file too hold on that’s a good idea so that that updated picture that you posted there’s also an updated like landscape and architecture. Textures models meshes whatever you want to call it picture.
They they got posted on instagram. I have that post from zuck himself uh, but we’ll we’ll show that after oh perfect, [, Laughter, ] so good. Here we go it’s the widest chin, um, okay! Yes, that is linus. It’S perfect! I’Ve never seen anything that looks more.
Like linus before uh, i mean it’s not great here. Let’S just we’ll give him a beard, it’s because it’s using generic like pre-made. You know what you know, what not bad it’s, okay, better than better than i think it’s using canned like model things. Okay, so you can go to my screen.
These are these: are the updated ones? Oh, my god. This is so scary. Okay, it is worlds better than the thing on the left, yeah yeah yeah world’s better – and i would say this looks more like james than like me, but this also doesn’t look yeah, it’s okay, it’s mark it’s mark, but he also has a very distinctive gigantic forehead And very short, haircut so hard to say hard to say either way the fact that this was just a simple little like character, creator thing um that can be put into vr to be clear: oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so uh. This is what i used to create the model that i use for uh, full body streaming beat saber and it was so here i’m going to be simple. I’M going to show my screen real quick, so this bottom one uh which i’ll raise up so it gets above our camera. This is the like landscape architecture, textures thing that i was mentioning, so that looks wildly better than what it looked like in the picture, and i would say, while this still doesn’t look like necessarily that great there is an art style going on here, and it is Wildly better than the previous one.
The thing that i don’t understand is i can’t go back. Oh no! Oh no. Can i help you? Oh okay, there we go um. The the thing that i don’t understand is why you would like don’t talk about that? First, one that shouldn’t be released and that should never be seen publicly like that is trash.
The second one looks like it could be pretty good, like i could, with with the art style and whatnot that’s going on with this model thing, i think people could accomplish things that look pretty good and with the architecture and textures and whatnot in the lower picture. I yeah someone someone’s one of the comments. I actually completely agree with this. One of the comments says wait a minute that screenshot is from a modded copy of skyrim.
I don’t think that’s like true um, but it actually it looks like it is um, but for a vr game you know it like it’s whatever, but yeah. That first picture is just so incredibly bad that i can’t believe it was ever allowed to be viewed publicly. .
