The "MetaWorld" Is Here

They have infiltrated kickstarter and now there is no safe haven. This has to be a troll attempt with how much they abuse the word "meta". But this is also 2022, so I know better.

I love just how in most metaverse projects they present us SO DOWN-TO-EARTH concepts. Like they want to copy real life 1:1. It's virtual. You literally can jump on asteroids or pet dinosaurs. Instead they give us trip around boring empty house with white walls, IKEA's chairs and flatscreen TVs.

People are trying to make a high resolution version of VRChat and call it the metaverse. All these projects feel like a joke to me until we can actually jack in.

[@dang.9209]

When you think about it, the virtual world of MegaMan Battle Network was a metaverse, wasn't it? Wait... oh god. Does that mean the cards in those games were like NFTs? Shit, it's only a matter of time until someone just copy-pastes Battle Network's gameplay and stuffs it full of NFT nonsense.

[@rustkitty]

More like a blander version of VRChat. VRChat is full of interesting avatars, varied props and unique spaces. But all these metaverse projects are full of bland rich people stuff - modern houses, beaches, expensive vehicles and similar stuff sprung right out of the mind of an investor bro with no imagination or inner life.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

You are jacked in right now, it is called the real world which does most of what these "metaverse" jokes do.

[@dubbleawesome3982]

I can't stop repeating that all this has been done before with Worlds, Active Worlds, Second Life, Entropia Universe and probably more I don't know about. But it is a good point that the problem with this kind of thing is that its hard to escape your broke terrible real world when it costs lots of money to do anything in the metaverse world too. For example if you want to live out your star trek space captain fantasy or whatever in Entropia Universe you'll be dropping a cool 10k actual dollars for a big ship to do that, and then even more money to maintain and fuel it and defend it every day. Or you could play any other space sim and do that for just the box price of the game... yeah.

[@BlueBD]

dont forget VRchat

[@liott8839]

utherverse as well..pretty much as sl expect outdated graphics

[@Arunnejiro]

As true as that kind of is. You at some point will probably benefit from having real money. The trade off, especially with Secondlife is that you can make money in game. You can get hired in game or sell things if you have skills. Theres other free ways to make money, literally. But the biggest thing is that you have a universal inventory and you can have whatever avatar that you want that is not limited at all by the developers vision. Like cyberpunk 2077 for example. You cant be a dragon in cyberpunk, you cant even be a cyborg in cyberpunk. The universal inventory system, the limitless customization, combined with the fact that in the same game you can do wildly different things under the same account, without switching games. Because everything is user generated, some people make really good things, Like before final fantasy remake the only way to see a modern day representation of midgar was through secondlife.

[@dubbleawesome3982]

@@Arunnejiro I think Secondlife escapes the money problem a little because players can free/cheaply make their own content if they don't want to pay for something. And there's no real game element, not really. The more game-ified alternatives don't let players just make whatever they want, and instead opt to charge obscene amounts of money for everything.

[@Arunnejiro]

@@dubbleawesome3982 In my experience I wouldnt say that the game like elements of Secondlife are unescesariliy expensive. A long time ago when I began playing I didnt have any money. One of the most expensive things were combat samurai Island where its weapons were around 1kL each. I earned all of the money for it in game. But thats beside the point. I dont fault people for charging for things that they spent a lot of time making. The real unfortunate thing about secondlife is the unsustainability of land costs. A lot of people use these sales to keep their sim open too. Its unfortunate how many CSI weapons and different things are lost to time when the sim shut down.

[@miklov]

Man that interactive home in the beginning looked so very interactive. I love all the examples of interactions they showed. Nothing is more disappointing than a game where the environment is just static meshes you can't do anything with.

I think the dumbest thing about metaverses is the introduction of means of transportation and limited space "land" It's virtual, it's not real, there is NO NEED to have those things Putting IRL *problems* into a metaverse is dumb as fuck

[@sentry4944]

But this is a capitalist venture so there must be some sort of artificial scarceness to make people feel left out and drive up prices.

[@garypatterson2857]

Essentially this is a Kickstarter for a super-advanced MMO, bringing in pretty much all aspects of real life, plus all aspects of online life in an environment where you can literally do anything. Seems like a sure-fire win, a really simple thing to develop, not something that would challenge the largest and most capable developers on the planet. The fact that it's a Kickstarter project for something so massively complex is a certain sign that it's going to fail. The amount of money needed to hire the developers who would stand a chance of delivering even half or a tenth of the scope is far beyond anything Kickstarter will ever deliver.
