I'M A VEVEVERSE BETA TESTER: What you don't realize is this demo was created by beta testers that have only have a limited ability to create this whole "space" with shapes and their own collectibles. We don't have the ability to use animated collectibles yet. This is a terrible RUclips stream and YOU have know idea what's going on. Too many people have a mindset on what a "meta"-verse is supposed to look like. But here is a FACT... Not even Meta has created a successful universe like everyone expects. VeVe is creating their version of the VeVeVerse that consist of "Spaces". The VeVeVerse is very unique, exciting and enjoyable experience.
You know when you're applying for 3d art school and all you want is to be a video game 3d artist but have absolutely no skill and you just get the wrong software to do the wrong thing but you don't even know it and after spending close to a month on it you are so proud of yourself so you happily send in your demo to the school hoping to get accepted and then the school accepts you and day 1 somebody in class shows off their demo and you immediately realize you have no skill, your demo sucked and will have A LOT of catching up to do if you ever want to have a fair chance of getting a job when you graduate? Well, this metaverse thing is worse than my school application demo.

Yeah, did the copyright holders sign off on this? Because I can't imagine Coke and WB signed off on this, but using their logos and characters without permission is asking to get sued into oblivion.
@@DungeonDragon18 they don't have to sign off on it because it's custom made and digital toys. I can go make a RUclips video wearing a marvel t-shirt but I don't need marvel to sign off on my video.
@@shrumpalump If you use it to sell things and imply it is apart of your brand you can bet that they could come after you when they found out. Wearing, fine. Associating, bad.
i swear these tech bros who defend metaverse, crypro and nft with their every breath are the most out-of-touch people i've ever seen, they are puffing up their chests feeling so proud and smug while presenting something that's equal to an actual wet shit to the audience and talking big about it as if it's the painting of mona lisa. nothing screams "i want to scam you" more than that
For a moment, I am going to try to be charitable and explain what I think they are trying to do. I think the goal is that the VeVeVerse isn't in a game engine at all, but delivers information about the NFTs and a person's "world" via some kind of API. Theoretically, they could provide a library for Unreal and Unity that would assist in downloading a user's NFT assets, such as the 3D models, permissions, images, and so-on. Along with information about where those assets are located in 3D space, one could theoretically make an implementation of all or part of the VeVeVerse in the engine. For example, I could make a VR game that loads all of my NFTs and drops them like dolls in a sandbox for me to play with, or put them in some kind of basic 3D modeling "game" where I could move the items in 3D space with those changes to scale and position being updated via the library. In theory, another front-end could load and display the same changes, so I might use an Unreal app on the computer to assemble my "world", and then a Unity-based "player" on my phone to walk around in it. That said, I highly doubt that is what is actually going on here. Not only does no part of this look "working", but what would be the point in owning, say, a Batman NFT that you could put on display in your world, if everyone can? Am I to believe that every building, texture, and animation are NFTs as well? What is this video supposed to show; that someone cobbled together a very rudimentary Gotham-like city using NFTs and made a very bad video using the props? I will say this, though. If what they are demonstrating is that the player software that they showed last time is now capable of loading in completely dynamic assets and has the capability of a user making their personal area look like this instead of the modern-ish house thing they showed last time, I would say that is progress and the presentation is just awful. But being realistic, that's probably not what this is. It's probably nothing more than a poorly cobbled together video using partnership characters. What an embarrassing thing for all the companies that were scammed into being a part of this.
This looks more like hey lets make some money on these idiots with hype, then go crap we need to throw something together for a video.... There is no grand plan other than getting money on this just like pretty much every other project out there with a metaverse something in it. The focus was never really having a functioning or good looking metaverse, but to see how much money can be milked from hype and no product.
@@xtremefurrycat but what they've shown here is beyond awfull. if they where after the money they would've invested some of it to at least make it look like they got a working product. this right here is just proof that you shouldn't "invest". or is the Metaverse-community truly that naive? as they don't try to fake it i really much rather believe they're just incompetent but thought they could do it.
@@Buttersaemmel crypto bros have always been sold on the hype and never so much the product. The prospects of making money really makes a lot of these guys idiots and ignore what's in front of them without questioning it.
I swear, so many metaverse games remind me of Second Life from... 15 years ago? Graphics and use concept, and SL worked kinda well and gave the people a lot of freedom to do things, for good and bad. ... looking at the animations, SL was leagues better, there were tools to create animations.
Seriously, of all the images they could've thrown for the skybox they chose one with a lightning. If you can't make some fancy dynamic sky wouldn't you at least choose something that doesn't stand out so much?
@@shrumpalump do you just have that comment on a clipboard, and posted it on all the comments here, or did you outsource it to a bot? Genuinely curious, because it is a LOT I have seen the same comment.
@@andreasottohansen7338 I got fed up seeing people commenting with no knowledge and copy and pasted it just to set things straight. Surprises me how many people comment without looking into it.
@@shrumpalump Because every "Metaverse" project is run by greed and not passion. Everyone here would rather put our money towards actual video games, not cash grabs. Not everyone is entirely obsessed with the next big thing to make a quick buck my dude.
How do they possibly have permission to use Warner Brothers and Disney owned franchises? That can't be above board, can it? Why would either company possibly sign on to this. It damages their brand.
Everyone was going for NFTs last year, I'd imagine some of these companies would have willingly gone with it if a third party was interested (and willing to pay). Edit: Having watched more of the video, major brands tend to sign off on things before release, and it seems unlikely that either Disney or WB would have ever approved this. They're probably headed for C&D territory.
It’s all one big license deal. Disney rents licenses to Veve then Veve rents licenses to the user. The users don’t even actually own the assets. They are rentals that can be taken from at will 😂
@@cosmic4208 I'm really questioning whether Warner Brothers or Disney knows about this. It does not seem like something either brand would want to be involved in.
@@BruwulfI dunno. Googling a bit it seems like they do have a shitload of licenses. I think everyone forgot how most major brands jumped head first into NFT stuff when they thought they could make some money off of it. Like didn't Reuters even turn some tragic photos into NFTs? It was a wild time.
What baffles me the most is that the pretty old multiplayer game/3d hanging out space "Second Life" is more of a metaverse than any of these projects. And, afaik, it's free and has more freedom than any of these projects even try to aspire too. What a mess.
It looks like a low budget 2003 hidden object puzzle game... which I usually love for the campy aesthetic but considering this is supposed to be edge of tech stuff... oof
They care about Copyright Law about as much as they care about a useful user experience. After all, when you can find idiots are willing to throw all their money at an online money pit, why care about things such as following the law. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have the licence to use DC or Marvel characters either. Typical Web3 buffoonery, use copyrighted material & scream about it all over the web, hoping none of the companies will notice, & try to take their cut.
@@dartz005 I'm guessing you don't know David yu the owner of veve. He isn't getting suid by them. They have every licence going. Marvel, DC, Disney, Jurassic park, Star Wars, Universal. You name it they have it.
@@shrumpalump Can you prove that they have proper licensing for all those IPs. From my experience, a lot of projects like these love using IPs without going through the channels. If they have the license, I stand corrected, but hearsay doesn't mean a thing if there's no proof.
@@dartz005 they have the licences. I can't see them because I don't work for them. But alfrid khan also is an advisor. He brought Pokémon to America and is one of the best people in the business for getting licences Jeremy padawer is also invested and he owned jazzwares who also have all those licenses David yu is a licensing legend. These aren't your usual web 3 guys who make crap up about licences
Wow. I recognize the song used is their trailer or showcase whatever they want to call it. If you're wondering what song that is, it's Tom Player - AXIS (Position Music - Epic Intense Dark Orchestral)
I was going to say that the opening shot of the video kind of looked like the original Lego Batman, but Lego Batman actually put thought and effort into the set designs. Also, you know, animating and voicing the characters.
I am fairly sure sure the original Lego Batman is from before they started using voice acting. Although conveying a story without words takes a lot of skill, so it is still more impressive
I think the most difficult part of this video would be to make fun of what we're seeing because, quite frankly, this looks like a joke. An unfunny one that probably wasted someone else's money to make. But still, how do you make fun of this? It's absurd. And the comments giving this praise? What is wrong with you, this looks like something I could throw together in a week.
This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen, how could they possibly release this? We live in a time where people with zero creativity and artistic talent are given the tools to express their lack of imagination unpretentiously... amazing. The only people who could leave comments like that are the ones who have invested thousands and are in complete denial
@@nuvotion-live I did 🤣. I was annoyed this was even released. I'm a graphic designer and I'm a qualified game Dev. It hurts to see this. That's why I'm telling people it's not official like Callum says.
Actually can't believe I made something more well-animated when I was 12 and using Maya for the first time with no advice or instruction from adults. Literally baffling
Why would anybody want to do that instead of using Unity or Blender to make a project, or GMod or Roblox or Second Life or VR Chat or Little Big Planet or any of the dozen other sandbox games that are already released and cheap to play
@watsonwrote It's a digital collectibles app. They have the biggest officially licensed IP in the world. Disney, Marvel, DC etc. They are just moving collecting into the digital age, it's not that hard to understand.
This is something you put together to get an idea of how it should look like, not a finished product of any kind. I dont know how to use unreal and i could do better then this for free. Like bruh.
I genuinely can't find the words for the level of simping displayed in those comments. I aspire to be a writer by trade and I really think those folks would be the most shocking, unbelievable heels possible.
When I was in Middle School (I'm 39, so it was a while back. Ergh. x.x ) My classmates and I made a Lego stop-motion 2 hour movie covering **all three years** of Middle School World History content. Complete with jokes. Using a home video recorder. Took us 3 months. And it was of infinitely better quality than whatever that VeVeVerse video was trying to be. And it was made by goofy teenagers without a budget. 😂
@@kellymurray8998 Thanks :) But no; We were in an alt-education program for troubled students. The vice-principal hated that the program existed & was outside his control, so he frequently 'forgot' to send us the truck with the school lunch and other petty BS. When we made the project, we sent it to be graded, and he 'lost it' and flunked us all. The teacher who started the program & ran it went to bat for us but the V just kept claiming he never got the project & claimed she was lying to make her program look better because "Those kids were failing school before; How would they EVER complete such a large undertaking?" I'm pushing forty and I STILL get angry when I think back on this. None of us forgave him for being such a backstabbing d-bag.
Worth noting this was created by a User in the Veveverse and not Veve them selfs. By no means is he an expert in this just someone having fun creating worlds from scratch.
they endorsed this as an official teaser trailer then backtracked after the community laughed at them... its worth criticising a company that takes free work because its better than the shit they could throw together, its laughable
I am not even half way through the video and I am already baffled. How did they make a pile of assets laggy? That demo alone made me question so much. And then the light? The instance of a cylinder with a white shiny material instead of an actual light? omg.
This was created by a community member with limited resources this was not created by the company. It’s like you and me using our collectible and getting blocks and making objects. This was to show that you can create anything. If anything you are bully someone’s enjoyment not the companu
This video prompted a thought. I'm not super familiar with NFTs so please do correct me if I'm wrong. Lets say you're an NFT investor, and have helped to fund a piece of shit like this. Suddenly a video like this comes out, the scales fall from your eyes, and you realize you need to get out. Is that even doable? NFTs are not fungible shares, I don't imagine you can simply hit a sell button to sell your NFTs for any particular value, you'd need to find a buyer first? You'd have to hype up to project if you want to have any chance of not losing your entire investment, either that or drink the koolaid and convince yourself everything is going just great. Am I wrong or are these NFT bros basically chained to the ship as it sinks?
As far as I understand yeah thats kind of how it is. Anyone who realizes they've bought into a scam will have to swallow the pill that they will most likely have to be left holding their bag or sell at hard losses since by the time anyone realizes they've been duped its too late to sell to some other shmuck since all the shmucks have probably already bought in now. Sucks to be a nftbro, you just get left holding bag after bag and they always somehow keep thinking the next thing will be the real line go up infinite money glitch because they're all desperate gambling addicts.
Ding ding! You nailed it! Money isn't just created from nothing, the people who make money from NFTs are the people who sell while the "value" is still high, to other people who think the value is going to get higher! But if you don't get out early enough, you become that second set of people, where you own a bunch of stuff you paid a lot for, the value is tanked, and no one will buy from you anymore. That's what makes it such a good scam; the moment the scam is revealed, it's impossible to get out! The only people who win are the ones who jump ship early, and the only ones doing that are the people who don't care about the final product.
I'm nothing special, but I would actually have to consciously make an effort to make a marketing video this bad (I'm referring to it as that as it's not a game). None of it fits, makes sense, has anything done to any of the assets, has any direction... If you think about it actually, it's the perfect video for summing up the metaverse in its current state.
Good content, but the music makes it impossible to watch. Please think about it for the future as many people have problems concentrating with rhythmic/repeating sounds in the background. And it is too loud as well.
This is so bad it wouldn't have even been acceptable in the 90's. Also didn't they have like guard or police assets? Using Boba Fett as prison guards was just..weird..
I do _not_ feel bad for the cryptobros. They should know by now that everything permeating the crypto scene is a giant scam. It's just that this one is a lot more blatant about it.
Why is everything connected to NFTs stolen? It's both sad and hilarious. "This ain't Gotham City; it's Gothic City! And that's not Joker, because he's in monochrome! He's The..uhh..The...umm...The Joking! And that's not Batman, it's...umm...Flying-Mammal Man!"
@@williamdrum9899 That would have been a level of humor, intelligence, and creativity that crypto bros don't have. Or else they would not be crypto bros.
I would be embarassed, not to mention angry, to see something like that as an ALPHA release, never mind a full release! What the actual fuck?! Have those people ever actually SEEN a functional video game?!

how to tell if ones Metaworld is not even big.
not getting sued by Cocacola for this in a paid product.
some of the brands can looks between the finger if a free project or something and your not pushing it.
but you charge money for it well guess what pay up for the brand or get sued.
This is a fan made veveverse video.
Callum seems to think its an official trailer 🙄.
Yeah, did the copyright holders sign off on this? Because I can't imagine Coke and WB signed off on this, but using their logos and characters without permission is asking to get sued into oblivion.
@@DungeonDragon18 they don't have to sign off on it because it's custom made and digital toys.
I can go make a RUclips video wearing a marvel t-shirt but I don't need marvel to sign off on my video.
@@shrumpalump If you use it to sell things and imply it is apart of your brand you can bet that they could come after you when they found out. Wearing, fine. Associating, bad.
i swear these tech bros who defend metaverse, crypro and nft with their every breath are the most out-of-touch people i've ever seen, they are puffing up their chests feeling so proud and smug while presenting something that's equal to an actual wet shit to the audience and talking big about it as if it's the painting of mona lisa. nothing screams "i want to scam you" more than that
Don’t call em tech bros
For a moment, I am going to try to be charitable and explain what I think they are trying to do. I think the goal is that the VeVeVerse isn't in a game engine at all, but delivers information about the NFTs and a person's "world" via some kind of API. Theoretically, they could provide a library for Unreal and Unity that would assist in downloading a user's NFT assets, such as the 3D models, permissions, images, and so-on. Along with information about where those assets are located in 3D space, one could theoretically make an implementation of all or part of the VeVeVerse in the engine. For example, I could make a VR game that loads all of my NFTs and drops them like dolls in a sandbox for me to play with, or put them in some kind of basic 3D modeling "game" where I could move the items in 3D space with those changes to scale and position being updated via the library. In theory, another front-end could load and display the same changes, so I might use an Unreal app on the computer to assemble my "world", and then a Unity-based "player" on my phone to walk around in it.
That said, I highly doubt that is what is actually going on here. Not only does no part of this look "working", but what would be the point in owning, say, a Batman NFT that you could put on display in your world, if everyone can? Am I to believe that every building, texture, and animation are NFTs as well? What is this video supposed to show; that someone cobbled together a very rudimentary Gotham-like city using NFTs and made a very bad video using the props?
I will say this, though. If what they are demonstrating is that the player software that they showed last time is now capable of loading in completely dynamic assets and has the capability of a user making their personal area look like this instead of the modern-ish house thing they showed last time, I would say that is progress and the presentation is just awful.
But being realistic, that's probably not what this is. It's probably nothing more than a poorly cobbled together video using partnership characters. What an embarrassing thing for all the companies that were scammed into being a part of this.
No one is going to read all of this. L
@@Beanster25people whose attention span hasn’t been ruined by TikTok will.
This looks more like hey lets make some money on these idiots with hype, then go crap we need to throw something together for a video.... There is no grand plan other than getting money on this just like pretty much every other project out there with a metaverse something in it. The focus was never really having a functioning or good looking metaverse, but to see how much money can be milked from hype and no product.
@@xtremefurrycat but what they've shown here is beyond awfull.
if they where after the money they would've invested some of it to at least make it look like they got a working product.
this right here is just proof that you shouldn't "invest".
or is the Metaverse-community truly that naive?
as they don't try to fake it i really much rather believe they're just incompetent but thought they could do it.
@@Buttersaemmel crypto bros have always been sold on the hype and never so much the product. The prospects of making money really makes a lot of these guys idiots and ignore what's in front of them without questioning it.
I swear, so many metaverse games remind me of Second Life from... 15 years ago? Graphics and use concept, and SL worked kinda well and gave the people a lot of freedom to do things, for good and bad.
... looking at the animations, SL was leagues better, there were tools to create animations.
Seriously, of all the images they could've thrown for the skybox they chose one with a lightning. If you can't make some fancy dynamic sky wouldn't you at least choose something that doesn't stand out so much?
@@shrumpalump liking your own comments is cringe.

@@shrumpalump do you just have that comment on a clipboard, and posted it on all the comments here, or did you outsource it to a bot?
Genuinely curious, because it is a LOT I have seen the same comment.
@@andreasottohansen7338 I got fed up seeing people commenting with no knowledge and copy and pasted it just to set things straight.
Surprises me how many people comment without looking into it.
@@shrumpalump Because every "Metaverse" project is run by greed and not passion. Everyone here would rather put our money towards actual video games, not cash grabs. Not everyone is entirely obsessed with the next big thing to make a quick buck my dude.
How do they possibly have permission to use Warner Brothers and Disney owned franchises? That can't be above board, can it? Why would either company possibly sign on to this. It damages their brand.
Not just that, but using the Coca Cola logo like that? Feels like there should be copyright lawyers smelling blood in the water.
Everyone was going for NFTs last year, I'd imagine some of these companies would have willingly gone with it if a third party was interested (and willing to pay).
Edit: Having watched more of the video, major brands tend to sign off on things before release, and it seems unlikely that either Disney or WB would have ever approved this. They're probably headed for C&D territory.
It’s all one big license deal. Disney rents licenses to Veve then Veve rents licenses to the user. The users don’t even actually own the assets. They are rentals that can be taken from at will 😂
@@cosmic4208 I'm really questioning whether Warner Brothers or Disney knows about this. It does not seem like something either brand would want to be involved in.
@@BruwulfI dunno. Googling a bit it seems like they do have a shitload of licenses. I think everyone forgot how most major brands jumped head first into NFT stuff when they thought they could make some money off of it. Like didn't Reuters even turn some tragic photos into NFTs? It was a wild time.
What baffles me the most is that the pretty old multiplayer game/3d hanging out space "Second Life" is more of a metaverse than any of these projects. And, afaik, it's free and has more freedom than any of these projects even try to aspire too. What a mess.
How are they not getting sued for using all copyrighted characters and IP?
I'm sure that's coming.
Better to ask for forgiveness than permission
Because they pay a cut
They actually have licenses from so many companies. They all wanted a piece of the nft pie when it was the new hotness. Blech.
They have the licensing for using major ip. They have Disney, Marvel, DC, etc. That is what sets them apart.
It looks like a low budget 2003 hidden object puzzle game... which I usually love for the campy aesthetic but considering this is supposed to be edge of tech stuff... oof
There's no way they've properly licensed that IP.
They have. And this is a fan made video. Not official at all.
@@shrumpalumpFunny how it's titled "Official Demo".
@@fedos I know and it causes issues. Will the RUclipsrs who put it up said he shouldn't have called it that.
@@shrumpalump Cope harder.
I guessed they are slipping through the cracks some how and nobody noticed the huge veve both with marvel at comic con. But I guess there is no way!
"Lower production value than Skibidi Toilet" is quite the bar to somehow still fail
Are.... are they not aware that they just can't use coca-cola's emblem in a game like that?
They care about Copyright Law about as much as they care about a useful user experience. After all, when you can find idiots are willing to throw all their money at an online money pit, why care about things such as following the law. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have the licence to use DC or Marvel characters either. Typical Web3 buffoonery, use copyrighted material & scream about it all over the web, hoping none of the companies will notice, & try to take their cut.
@@dartz005 I'm guessing you don't know David yu the owner of veve. He isn't getting suid by them.
They have every licence going. Marvel, DC, Disney, Jurassic park, Star Wars, Universal. You name it they have it.
once again, VeVe pushed this on twitter as an official teaser trailer, and backtracked after being laughed at. its sad. end of
@@shrumpalump Can you prove that they have proper licensing for all those IPs. From my experience, a lot of projects like these love using IPs without going through the channels. If they have the license, I stand corrected, but hearsay doesn't mean a thing if there's no proof.
@@dartz005 they have the licences.
I can't see them because I don't work for them.
But alfrid khan also is an advisor. He brought Pokémon to America and is one of the best people in the business for getting licences
Jeremy padawer is also invested and he owned jazzwares who also have all those licenses
David yu is a licensing legend.
These aren't your usual web 3 guys who make crap up about licences
Wow. I recognize the song used is their trailer or showcase whatever they want to call it. If you're wondering what song that is, it's Tom Player - AXIS (Position Music - Epic Intense Dark Orchestral)
Skibidi toilet is the true metaverse that we all wanted.
I was going to say that the opening shot of the video kind of looked like the original Lego Batman, but Lego Batman actually put thought and effort into the set designs. Also, you know, animating and voicing the characters.
I am fairly sure sure the original Lego Batman is from before they started using voice acting.
Although conveying a story without words takes a lot of skill, so it is still more impressive
I think the most difficult part of this video would be to make fun of what we're seeing because, quite frankly, this looks like a joke. An unfunny one that probably wasted someone else's money to make. But still, how do you make fun of this? It's absurd. And the comments giving this praise? What is wrong with you, this looks like something I could throw together in a week.
You have to admit, they did succeed spectacularly...in copying the graphics from Superman 64
Music may be a bit too loud distracting us from what Callum says, take care editor
This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen, how could they possibly release this? We live in a time where people with zero creativity and artistic talent are given the tools to express their lack of imagination unpretentiously... amazing. The only people who could leave comments like that are the ones who have invested thousands and are in complete denial
This is a fan made veveverse video.
Callum seems to think its an official trailer 🙄
@@shrumpalump still lol, how can you watch this and not cringe. It’s like it was made by a 12 year old.
@@nuvotion-live I did 🤣. I was annoyed this was even released. I'm a graphic designer and I'm a qualified game Dev. It hurts to see this. That's why I'm telling people it's not official like Callum says.

Yknow he said this looks worse than roblox, but ill give it this
Might be on par with roblox in 2008

We were promised the metaverse, walked back to A metaverse… then got dUh MehDuVerz!
NFTs are like hydras: kill one head and it'll spawn three more -.-
the veve metaverse isn't launched yet. The trailer is just what you can do with your collectibles in the new expanded showrooms.
Why would anybody want to do that instead of using Unity or Blender to make a project, or GMod or Roblox or Second Life or VR Chat or Little Big Planet or any of the dozen other sandbox games that are already released and cheap to play
@watsonwrote It's a digital collectibles app. They have the biggest officially licensed IP in the world. Disney, Marvel, DC etc.
They are just moving collecting into the digital age, it's not that hard to understand.
This is something you put together to get an idea of how it should look like, not a finished product of any kind. I dont know how to use unreal and i could do better then this for free. Like bruh.
I genuinely can't find the words for the level of simping displayed in those comments. I aspire to be a writer by trade and I really think those folks would be the most shocking, unbelievable heels possible.
When I was in Middle School (I'm 39, so it was a while back. Ergh. x.x ) My classmates and I made a Lego stop-motion 2 hour movie covering **all three years** of Middle School World History content. Complete with jokes. Using a home video recorder.
Took us 3 months.
And it was of infinitely better quality than whatever that VeVeVerse video was trying to be. And it was made by goofy teenagers without a budget. 😂
That’s impressive! Bet you got a good grade for that. 👍
@@kellymurray8998 Thanks :) But no; We were in an alt-education program for troubled students.
The vice-principal hated that the program existed & was outside his control, so he frequently 'forgot' to send us the truck with the school lunch and other petty BS.
When we made the project, we sent it to be graded, and he 'lost it' and flunked us all.
The teacher who started the program & ran it went to bat for us but the V just kept claiming he never got the project & claimed she was lying to make her program look better because "Those kids were failing school before; How would they EVER complete such a large undertaking?"
I'm pushing forty and I STILL get angry when I think back on this. None of us forgave him for being such a backstabbing d-bag.
Worth noting this was created by a User in the Veveverse and not Veve them selfs. By no means is he an expert in this just someone having fun creating worlds from scratch.
they endorsed this as an official teaser trailer then backtracked after the community laughed at them... its worth criticising a company that takes free work because its better than the shit they could throw together, its laughable

Good vid, but man that BGM got tiresome after a while.
Did they actually pay for the license to use DC stuff or is this destined for the DMCA hammer?
DC, Disney, and Coca Cola. Can't wait for the lawsuits!
They paid for it
I am not even half way through the video and I am already baffled. How did they make a pile of assets laggy? That demo alone made me question so much. And then the light? The instance of a cylinder with a white shiny material instead of an actual light? omg.
is copyright not a thing? warner brothers, disney and coke?
Nostalgia Critic’s Batman reviews have better production values than these NFTverse crap.
This was created by a community member with limited resources this was not created by the company. It’s like you and me using our collectible and getting blocks and making objects. This was to show that you can create anything. If anything you are bully someone’s enjoyment not the companu
Geez that ocean at 10:12 looks like it came out of the 1994 Reboot cartoon.
I didn't notice they weren't animated. I was busy looking at the jpeg of a lightning bolt behind them
that Gotham City thing looks straight out of Reboot, i swear
Right?! Nostalgia time! I loved Reboot as a kid.
I made something similar for a group project when I was in high school over 20 years ago, holy shit
This video prompted a thought. I'm not super familiar with NFTs so please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Lets say you're an NFT investor, and have helped to fund a piece of shit like this. Suddenly a video like this comes out, the scales fall from your eyes, and you realize you need to get out. Is that even doable? NFTs are not fungible shares, I don't imagine you can simply hit a sell button to sell your NFTs for any particular value, you'd need to find a buyer first? You'd have to hype up to project if you want to have any chance of not losing your entire investment, either that or drink the koolaid and convince yourself everything is going just great. Am I wrong or are these NFT bros basically chained to the ship as it sinks?
As far as I understand yeah thats kind of how it is. Anyone who realizes they've bought into a scam will have to swallow the pill that they will most likely have to be left holding their bag or sell at hard losses since by the time anyone realizes they've been duped its too late to sell to some other shmuck since all the shmucks have probably already bought in now.
Sucks to be a nftbro, you just get left holding bag after bag and they always somehow keep thinking the next thing will be the real line go up infinite money glitch because they're all desperate gambling addicts.
Seems like you're correct as far as I can tell
Rip
Ding ding! You nailed it! Money isn't just created from nothing, the people who make money from NFTs are the people who sell while the "value" is still high, to other people who think the value is going to get higher! But if you don't get out early enough, you become that second set of people, where you own a bunch of stuff you paid a lot for, the value is tanked, and no one will buy from you anymore. That's what makes it such a good scam; the moment the scam is revealed, it's impossible to get out! The only people who win are the ones who jump ship early, and the only ones doing that are the people who don't care about the final product.
I know "student projects look better than this" is an overused meme, but my classmates' work is hundreds of times better than this!
10:04 "next time on Gothic city"?
Are we gonna see Batman with strapped boots and the Joker robbing hot topic?
Man, (probably unrelated) even an animated "movie" Joshua and The Promised Land at least had animations. Damn..
Not the penguin thumbnail 😂😂😂
I'm nothing special, but I would actually have to consciously make an effort to make a marketing video this bad (I'm referring to it as that as it's not a game). None of it fits, makes sense, has anything done to any of the assets, has any direction... If you think about it actually, it's the perfect video for summing up the metaverse in its current state.
Good content, but the music makes it impossible to watch. Please think about it for the future as many people have problems concentrating with rhythmic/repeating sounds in the background. And it is too loud as well.
I think it's just too loud, it makes it hard to hear what he's saying, and I don't mind music.
Next time in Gothic City?
Holy Copyright Abuse Batemain!
This is so bad it wouldn't have even been acceptable in the 90's. Also didn't they have like guard or police assets? Using Boba Fett as prison guards was just..weird..
I do _not_ feel bad for the cryptobros. They should know by now that everything permeating the crypto scene is a giant scam. It's just that this one is a lot more blatant about it.
Why is everything connected to NFTs stolen?
It's both sad and hilarious.
"This ain't Gotham City; it's Gothic City! And that's not Joker, because he's in monochrome! He's The..uhh..The...umm...The Joking! And that's not Batman, it's...umm...Flying-Mammal Man!"

@@williamdrum9899 That would have been a level of humor, intelligence, and creativity that crypto bros don't have.
