not a single sonic OC in sight, pathetic

This is Meta’s brand new ad for Horizon Worlds. Not sure how I’m supposed to feel about it.

Man, this is the worst representation of VR socializing they possibly could have come up with. Boring, bad-looking human models with weighting errors out the wazoo, the most uninspired location possible, sitting in a circle.

what the fuck is this ratatoing-ass bullshit? this is what they've been spending millions of dollars on?

And here I thought they nuked this garbage months ago.

Zuck hates Apple and Google so much he's going to spend another $100 billion on this if he thinks AR/VR headsets can replace smartphones.

You talk to robot simulacra of your friends in the style of a sad AA meeting is an interesting advertising angle

"Everyone, remember to gesticulate wildly to demo the motion capture. If we don't feel it's enough, then we'll have to do another take, and we're not paying you for that."

none of these voices feel right, either. there's just something off

It sounds like AI.

my 2 cents: There are no furry or sonic OCs in this thing because that would actually require some degree of passion, sincerity and creativity, and corporate silicon valley companies are just incapable of having that.

Unrelated but still floored that they share the same voice actress.

How long has second life been around? This is a solved issue, insofar as it's even an issue.. and you'll see all the furries, creatures, and sonic recolors you'd ever expect.

No sonic OCs, furry avatars, specific anime girls, or an anomalocaris. It's like the people working on this have never actually seen what people present themselves as in VR.

It's amazing how every tech 'innovation' for the past ten years has just been lamely recreating other more useful stuff but making it so a corporation gets to charge you for it.
