The gaming startup will allow Netflix subscribers to create avatars that can extend across gaming titles.
Good for the devs who made this weird, seemingly useless thing cashing out I guess.
I just want a phone app that can scan my face and give me the sliders that would most closely match it in every game.
So. Like. Run around as V in World of Warcraft? That doesn’t sound like anything I’d want. And the images in the article aren’t helping.
This is just execs not understanding game engines again. This was supposed to be the original concept for NFTs and it’s still a bad idea for any game with artistic merit.
Even if you get past the technical reasons of why this won’t work well, artistically, your avatar will clash with any game that’s not targeting these avatars. And I bet that any game that does target itself to look good with these avatars will look worse for it.
You can’t just take a 3d model and slap it into a game world and expect it to look good everywhere because it looked good in one environment.
Yall are all misunderstanding it, it needs to be implemented when making the game, if 5 games use it, you can use the same avatar across them, the games are already designed to work and look good with readyplayer me avatars if they add them? It’s not something added after look development, it’s adecision made for the player avatars early on.
You seem VERY invested in this. You know you can edit posts and add stuff that occurs to you after you posted, yeah?
Yes, I choose not to, wild I know. Did you know there is a block button on every profile that helps you hide what you don’t want to see?
And you seem very angry.
It makes it hard to engage with what you’re saying because which post do I even reply to? But sure, do whatever.
