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.
Good for the devs who made this weird, seemingly useless thing cashing out I guess.
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.
Yeah, I didn't even think past the aesthetics because the concept is so ludicrous. Reminds me of how every once in a while a snotty kiddo who just made their first Hello World will come up with the ultimate gaming idea to combine ALL THE GAMES into one so you can seamlessly walk between them.
Except that one snotty kid who pulled it off with Evoland I & II
Not exactly what the snotty kid I'm thinking of is thinking of :)
