Same. I was about to say it looks like the Xbox 360 avatars which was also 14 years ago. So yea when I first saw Meta ads, I was throughly unimpressed.
The funniest thing about the legs is that they _had_ legs originally. They removed the legs because of "virtual rape" and people doing lewd gestures. Now they're adding them back because they realize a bunch of floating torsos looks insanely creepy and weird, and they're pretending it's a brand new feature they just came up with. God this whole project is a trainwreck, and it's so much fun to watch.
the floating torsos just remind me of a game i played as a kid called whyville, except it was fine there bc the game was like 15 years old and was 2D so it was charming and not terrifying
The worst part about Metaverse isn't that it's a lifeless cash-grab, it's the fact that Mark assumed everyone can afford a VR headset and the systems needed to run a VR game smoothly. Like, imagine your boss sets up a mandatory meeting and its only accessible with something that is financially out of your reach by _miles._
If a 300 dollar headset is “miles” out of your reach you need to find a decent job im 18 and making 25 an hour with full benefits so idk where these claims come from
@deomodderr that’s not the point I was making. I make over 300 in literally 2 days if you can’t afford a expense that slight every now and then, it’s time to find a different better paying opportunity
Most people can't afford a $600 emergencey. You are wildly out of touch. Also I can guarantee that you got your job through mummy and daddy's connections, are straight up lying or unbelievably you're an 18 year old incredibly lucky prodigy. Either way you are the exception, not the rule.
The true, largest failure of the metaverse was a simple one, rooted in facebook's obsession with personal data. They made the hilariously incorrect assumption that people in a vr world would want to look like themselves, missing that most people would prefer to be anime girls with massive boobs or scout tf2
It's cause they think that the rest of tech will catch on and make it their culture, but it's so out of touch I don't even think I'd see them adopt it. Cause it's so much effort for very little benefit.
That was literally the first thing I thought about when metaverse launched. Then I realized that VR chat has infinite possibilities for animations, maps, characters, and voices. Metaverse advertised itself as a virtual world for real people to communicate with friends.
Employers made a term MMH, which means "make Mark happy" for these metaverse projects. It really shows how out of touch Mark is and what his employees think of him. All in all I'm happy this is happening because i don't want him to make a successful platform again, only to misuse all of our data and then pay a small fine once in a while beacause of it.
The greatest irony of Facebook is that it was hailed as a way to bring humans together but has totally denigrated human connection since it’s inception
I quit using Facebook too- whenever I do glance over at it, I think it’s me but it doesn’t happen anywhere else. I feel huge amounts of disdain for anyone I see posting on there.
@@alwaysyouramanda I only use facebook for marketplace to check out cheap sports cars or maybe some game. I honestly don't recall the last time I posted anything on there and I don't plan on doing so
Tbh I've mostly treated Facebook as a virtual contacts backup, and so it's really had no more effect on me than my phone's default messenger app. Social media only has the power we choose to give it
@I don't fist bump people like you. anyone young enough to care about moving somewhere else already moved off facebook years ago, a lot of the current users are just old and starting to die off
We're in a weird age where it feels like all major organizations, in private and public sectors, are laughably out of touch with their target audiences and consumers.
With gaming, it started in like 2015. With tv series and streaming services it started in 2018. With (American) politics it started in 2019. The whole world in 2020.
Just barely IMO. That silent throwing confetti animation says it all. Empty soul-less celebrations of nothing in particular for the sake of justification.
I remember Netflix on the 360 used to allow you to invite your friends and all your avatars would sit in a little theater and watch Netflix with one person controlling the pause button. That was in 2009.
I have never done that personally, so I don't know if that was a feature at the very first launch or not, but if it is, it dates even further back to 2005. Insane to think about, how old that console is already.
The Metaverse looks like 2000's Grand Theft Auto cut-scenes. I keep thinking the brunette woman talking to Mark Zuckerberg is Asuka giving me missions lol
he’s trying to buyout all other vr technology so he is the sole supplier (monopoly). he isnt holding out he is going all in. evil rich mofo ruining it for everyone like always.
My other major problem with the metaverse is how much it feels so "unprofessional" and yet Mark is pushing it to be a work environment. It has the same feeling of adding emojis to confidential documents. Just the whole idea of being cartoons as avatars screams unprofessionalism. And in this day and age, where higher management are forcing subordinates to act more serious and professional while on the job, having avatars has the same feeling as using a cat filter while working. I thought Mark Zuckerberg was a genius since he was a young man able to become a billionnare. But now I don't know how a dumb guy like him was ever to pull that off. He's certainly not as smart as I thought he was.
People have the same reaction to Microsoft's new emojis in Teams. They call it childish and unprofessional, but who in MS cares? Lets change things for the sake of change just to show we are trying to be modern and cool and trendy. Wait, how old is the target audience using Teams? Nevermid.
The fact that they have spent millions of not billions on this project, but have a worse product than what any indie studio makes is baffling. It’s like people all over this project are just pocketing all the money and screwing over meta. It’s amazing
The reality of it is likely people pointed out it was stupid, were either ignored or silenced while the managers and suits spin wheels to make the higher ups look like they're producing something of value and when it comes out that it's garbage they take it out on the workers. Ideas rarely come from the people working on it because if you have an idea you're expected to just kind of spin it from the air and demo it on top of keeping with all the regular stuff management wants you to do. And you're usually not rewarded for it. If your idea is good they just steal it and it's not like you'll get rewarded for coming up with something good. So a lot of people will just go with whatever stupid stuff management wants and when they realize it's 100% going to be a garbage fire they are already applying for transfer or new job. A lot of that money was also probably not even spent on development, but instead on marketing the idea to investors.

What even more ridiculous, is that Mark’s avatar was animated with MOTION CAPTURE. Not at all the tracking technology they developed themselves, because again they keeps saying “this is what’s to come”
Yeah I was kind of excited for some sort of low cost tracking solution that meta would put out... though they ended up just using some other expensive ass tech instead. Guess the 4 year old vive trackers are still going to be my best friends
Nah, it's just facebook(meta, like anyone calls it that) taking some massive Ls. The technology for an actual meta-verse is there, but these guys don't have a clue as to how to implement it. It's a lot more likely that a video game company, like steam, will be more successful.
the entire idea with the metaverse is to replace yourself with your avatar. the biggest flaw with this idea is why the fuck would people want to look like this

@@DanielArgh Horizon has already failed. Zuck (and the rest of the world it seems) believes that Meta's metaverse is "the metaverse" which it obviously is not. It's _one of the metaverses_ and it's easily the worst one. It's also the one that develops the slowest because Mark doesn't want muggles to sully his pristine virtual realm... Rec-Room is another metaverse, and it has literally millions of users. VR Chat is another, and it's also fairly popular. Only reason there's anyone in Meta's Horizon is that it comes with the device (although only in NA), and because old people are there to talk about sirius stuff. There aren't any kids in there because the kids know better, so the adults get to be alone... In the shittiest metaverse around.
This whole metaverse thing can be summed up with a quote from Jontron's Flex Tape video: "But why? Why would you do that? Why would you do any of that?"
Didn't anyone in the metaverse team tell Zuckerberg about MMORPGs? Games like World of Warcraft and Lineage 2 did a much better job 15 years ago and looked way better. And meta is presenting legs on their characters as a groundbreaking feature in 2022. It's a joke, it has to be.
@@mukkah I remember when I was a child hearing older people complaining about their eyes hurting when they first had to start working on computers all day. The technology will improve and people will also get used to it.
As a millennial, looking back over the different ways I've interacted with IRL friends and online acquaintances, I can safely say the period where everyone was using FB as the communication tool was by far the worst. I feel like I became more disconnected from actual friends, even though in terms of time spent I probably had more time on the platform than any other. I'm happy to see the platform dying to the point where they need to force their version of the metaverse to work, and for some reason it feels incredibly gratifying to see it slow motion fail.
In my family, nobody's used FB in years, because cell phone technology has improved so much. Now you can take a high quality picture or video with your phone, send a group text, and that media will go out to everyone incredibly fast. Used to be, FB was the best and easiest way to share baby photos or vacation photos or whatever with your family and friends. Now, text messaging is the best way. Which is awesome, because you can keep your private life away from Zuck Boy.
Man, what a time to be alive. Between watching this whole Metaverse train wreck unfolding and watching Elon Musk bankrupt himself by buying Twitter, those past few months almost feel like some kind of cosmic redemption arc of the world against the tech bros of yesteryear. Keep that shit going 😂🎉
Man it feels like two autistic adults bouncing ideas off eachother. It feels like semi autistic Elon and semi autistic Zuckerberg are like, "lets spend millions of dollars inventing a device that makes it easier to eat your food." Feels like everyone is screaming at them, "its called utensils and its already a thing you autistic mother fuckers."
Except that the tech of these individuals is extremely underdeveloped. In the words of Heisenberg, it's Grade A College Ball Vs the New York Yankees. Meta has developed technology that allows you to perfectly replicate facial expressions into a 3D Virtual Reality environment. VRChat avatars can do a bunch of fake anime shit but they have to do it manually (button pressing/string pulling).
As a full scratch 3DCG artist, thats just literally my Base mesh and "Base Texture" stage of the whole workflow, that is achieveable in less than 6 hours of work for most 3D artists who work at the industry regularly.
One thing for sure, Zuck's avatar is a big improvement on his actual physical presence. So much more life, colour, emotion. And man, that is saying something...
I have half a notion that he wants to pour all his resources into this because he realizes this. He probably wishes desperately that everyone would adopt this so that he could live forever as his online persona, where he could be young forever and as life-filled and animated as his Utopia can be imagined. If the Metaverse fails... so does Mark Zuckerberg. I say this with no ill will or humor: I honestly wonder if Mark will be the first billionaire to commit suicide.
It's hilarious how scared some people were of "the metaverse" because they thought it was the end of society. It took them this long to figure out how to give people legs, I don't think it's gonna last, let alone take over anything. Excellent video! You put a smile on my face on a terrible day.
@@anakinlowground5515 And even if (a very big if) they get it working well enough to be able to release it, nobody will use it because a VR headset is too damn expensive.
Of course you'd get anxiety working on something like Horizon Worlds but imagine how cool it is to work on something as advanced as Colour pass-through on a VR Headset or a standalone headset which is able to track the movement of legs (something extremely difficult to do as legs are difficult to track properly because of how headset tracking works).
VR chat is like silliness and some maps with scripted actions. Meta-Verse is like Meh and Glad graphics and then i am not sure what kind of maps. But Chinese people and Russian people and Ukrainian people at least for sure are not very smiling people. Indians i am not sure. So it would be for western europeans who look good or creamy sometimes or with specific styles, and in the Metaverse they would look much less then their real life selves.
As someone who was conducting scholarly research for my master’s degree on the Metaverse and Meta’s attempt at creating a metaverse, Zuckerberg is extremely late to the party on this. Second Life is credited as the first example of an adopted metaverse. Meta has their corny cartoon avatars, but they’re actually working on creating life-like avatars which are very uncanny valley. They look exactly like you but operate similar to a robot because the AI facial recognition to emotions is not advanced enough yet. It’s called Codec Avatars if anyone is interested looking further into it.
Its weird that theyre going more human when that’s literally the worst. Just one look at vr chat, or hell even roblox and youll know that nobody wants to look like themselves, or even be human. Whats the point of making an avatar of yourself when you can be literally anything youve ever wanted to be
To be honest... The Zuck has more facial expressions and emotions than his real human self. He even appears to be more human than in real life. It was all a plot to make him look more human

Also, commit to your vision. The no leg thing was definitely an aesthetic choice. The fact they changed course so easily means they have no faith in their own decisions.
“Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the metaverse is immortal.”

The true, largest failure of the metaverse was a simple one, rooted in facebook's obsession with personal data. They made the hilariously incorrect assumption that people in a vr world would want to look like themselves, missing that most people would prefer to be anime girls with massive boobs or scout tf2

Hahaha anime girls...fkn hilarious...where all their dreams come true 🤣
Yeah why would you want to go in a world where you could be anything you want and not do anything special with it?
It's cause they think that the rest of tech will catch on and make it their culture, but it's so out of touch I don't even think I'd see them adopt it. Cause it's so much effort for very little benefit.

My other major problem with the metaverse is how much it feels so "unprofessional" and yet Mark is pushing it to be a work environment. It has the same feeling of adding emojis to confidential documents. Just the whole idea of being cartoons as avatars screams unprofessionalism. And in this day and age, where higher management are forcing subordinates to act more serious and professional while on the job, having avatars has the same feeling as using a cat filter while working. I thought Mark Zuckerberg was a genius since he was a young man able to become a billionnare. But now I don't know how a dumb guy like him was ever to pull that off. He's certainly not as smart as I thought he was.
No billionaire is rich because they are smart, they are rich because of luck and once given the chance, exploiting people
People have the same reaction to Microsoft's new emojis in Teams. They call it childish and unprofessional, but who in MS cares? Lets change things for the sake of change just to show we are trying to be modern and cool and trendy. Wait, how old is the target audience using Teams? Nevermid.
@@holdenjanzen7029 more accurately, they are rich because of luck + nepotism, and mostly the latter
They make the avatars so cartoonist and don't add a realism aspect to it most likely because it's more difficult
The fact that they have spent millions of not billions on this project, but have a worse product than what any indie studio makes is baffling. It’s like people all over this project are just pocketing all the money and screwing over meta. It’s amazing
$10 billion to be exact
@@jwall0 hell nah that can't be real
I refuse to believe they actually spent over $10 on the shit they took
They’ve spent more than $15 billion dollars, according to Business Insider.
The reality of it is likely people pointed out it was stupid, were either ignored or silenced while the managers and suits spin wheels to make the higher ups look like they're producing something of value and when it comes out that it's garbage they take it out on the workers.
Ideas rarely come from the people working on it because if you have an idea you're expected to just kind of spin it from the air and demo it on top of keeping with all the regular stuff management wants you to do. And you're usually not rewarded for it. If your idea is good they just steal it and it's not like you'll get rewarded for coming up with something good.
So a lot of people will just go with whatever stupid stuff management wants and when they realize it's 100% going to be a garbage fire they are already applying for transfer or new job.
A lot of that money was also probably not even spent on development, but instead on marketing the idea to investors.

6:57 "CyberCharles in the Metaverse" sounds like a good name for a videogame...or a prog rock band
The metaverse continues to feel like what a tone deaf and outdated AI would think humans would like in a virtual world.
More like a bunch of tone deaf corporate executives and HR types. Even outdated AIs have more charm and imagination than this.
I like how every avatar is just the person but in corporate art style
perfect way to describe it, lmao
fuck i hate these souless corporate artstyle so much, and they have audacity to make us look like it.
It's hilarious how scared some people were of "the metaverse" because they thought it was the end of society. It took them this long to figure out how to give people legs, I don't think it's gonna last, let alone take over anything. Excellent video! You put a smile on my face on a terrible day.
Wrong. They had legs before but took then away because of “virtual rape” where people did lewd gestures. 😂
Vr chat has more of a chance ending society than the metaverse
Dude, it’s already dead. I wish they would stop focusing on this metaverse BS, and just focus on making good VR games.
@@anakinlowground5515 they could just buy VRchat to collect even more data from that fanbase
@@anakinlowground5515 And even if (a very big if) they get it working well enough to be able to release it, nobody will use it because a VR headset is too damn expensive.
Funniest part is that the entire presentation with the legs is entirely fake, it's all motion capture recorded inside a studio.
It gives me anxiety to think about being a developer for this project
Of course you'd get anxiety working on something like Horizon Worlds but imagine how cool it is to work on something as advanced as Colour pass-through on a VR Headset or a standalone headset which is able to track the movement of legs (something extremely difficult to do as legs are difficult to track properly because of how headset tracking works).
VR chat is like silliness and some maps with scripted actions. Meta-Verse is like Meh and Glad graphics and then i am not sure what kind of maps. But Chinese people and Russian people and Ukrainian people at least for sure are not very smiling people. Indians i am not sure. So it would be for western europeans who look good or creamy sometimes or with specific styles, and in the Metaverse they would look much less then their real life selves.
@@wrongteous yes and the video is staged as the animation is captured with motion capture
So basically they havent invent shit
@@robertoromerro why the fuck those people would not be smiling mark is that you?
@@jakub6800 They are rare smilers.
As someone who was conducting scholarly research for my master’s degree on the Metaverse and Meta’s attempt at creating a metaverse, Zuckerberg is extremely late to the party on this. Second Life is credited as the first example of an adopted metaverse.
Meta has their corny cartoon avatars, but they’re actually working on creating life-like avatars which are very uncanny valley. They look exactly like you but operate similar to a robot because the AI facial recognition to emotions is not advanced enough yet. It’s called Codec Avatars if anyone is interested looking further into it.
Its weird that theyre going more human when that’s literally the worst. Just one look at vr chat, or hell even roblox and youll know that nobody wants to look like themselves, or even be human. Whats the point of making an avatar of yourself when you can be literally anything youve ever wanted to be
@@beelzemobabbity as many have said, Mark/Meta has literally no idea what people actually want out of this type of project.
I guess they're trying to copy the "success" of Second Life 😂
At least the realistic meta characters will be great bases for horror games!
More like the party’s been over but Suckerberg still showed up for some reason 💀
To be honest... The Zuck has more facial expressions and emotions than his real human self. He even appears to be more human than in real life. It was all a plot to make him look more human
It was motion captured so it probably wasnt even him
"The Zuck" hahaha bro you almost made me choke on my toothpick
"That's not even as many students in a full classroom."
This is sad for many reasons - not the least off which being that 30 students is waaaaaaaaay too many for a single teacher to work with.
It surprises me to no end that "The Metaverse" has had the most money put into it... and it is to date the single worst looking online experience in video game history.
@Mert M Imagine Google riding Stadia as it's wave of the future, putting all money down on it. Literally Facebook's market strategy. Zucc deserves to go bankrupt over this.
The leap of faith they took was like Ezio diving at concrete, fun to watch.
I'm honestly floored by how amazed they are by legs when full body tracking for VR chat was a thing YEARS ago
Imagine if Dream did his face reveal and it was his metaverse avatar
Then all the backlash he would be getting would be deserved.
@@RGC_animation It is anyway
@@Starlightnova111 why though
@@MasquedMocha This is the man who put his childhood emails in a wristband and calls his fans kittens
He's said countless controversial things on twitter too but people can't cancel him because.. well, he's dream
@@Starlightnova111 he called his fans kittens? KILL IT WITH FIRE!
No doubt Hollywood is even now working on an animated horror movie. A bunch of teenagers are trapped forever in the Metaverse. The movie's byline: "If you don't have legs, guess what else you don't have?"
A dick?
A good lesson: Don't announce projects until you're very close to completion. Make some interesting trailers, and get things done.
Like that one teaser of behemoth that showed absolutely FUCK ALL
Metaverse is going to be years until it comes but it was kind of necessary for them to announce it because it will take time to build it
"What!? Put in actual work _before_ profiting from something? You're fired!"
- every megacorp exec
That's not how the real world works.
Also, commit to your vision. The no leg thing was definitely an aesthetic choice. The fact they changed course so easily means they have no faith in their own decisions.
“The moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me! So I discarded it for for a Metaverse Avatar.” -Mark Zuckerberg
zucc is a mekhanite
Zucc trying to become a AI god would at least be understandable.
“Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the metaverse is immortal.”
As soon as Charlie said I realised the weakness of my flesh, I set out to find the first Mechanicus comment.

gotta love how Meta is literally having a "if our audience doesn't know it/not mainstream to boomers then it doesn't exist" mindset
Exactly, its hilarious how people think this is a new and revolutionary idea when Second Life exists and has thrived for almost 20 years now.
Doing things better and with legs since 2003! 😂
@@AvelierPlays actually yeah! Second life used to be mainstream so I'm suprised their audience doesn't remember it
I remember playing second life when I was like fifth grade age, how do they not remember
@@AvelierPlays it’s so funny to me that an almost 2 decades old game looks objectively way better than Zuccs billion dollar project lmao
"You can already do this on the Xbox 360 with those avatars, or even on the Switch with the Miis in Smash Bros"
did moist completely miss the entire Wii era
Me mentions the Wii almost immediately after he mentions the Switch
As a swedish individual I must say that words cannot describe how happy I am to finally have legs.
Someone should tell Pewds
There is no possible way your ornate language does not have the functional equivalent of "I have legs" in caps lock.
old joke not funny(came out of nowhere, laughed. funny)
Maybe create some avatar sign language to express our international happiness about having legs ?
@@spiritualanarchist8162 💪🦶🦶🦶😱👍👍😎😎
If you're depressed as hell just remember mark zucchini wasted BILLIONS OF DOLLARS for a dollarstore corpo VRChat
Let that sink in.
If you don't like Mark Zuckerberg just think he stole the Facebook idea and then somehow thought that his next idea would be just as popular so he should have stolen another idea cuz obviously his ideas are not famous or popular
True
And he still has enough money to never have to work another day in his life...was your comment meant to make people more depressed?
And he'll continue to go on wasting billions, as a figurehead of a world of artificial scarcity that grows enough food to feed 10 billion while people starve and die anyway. This is supposed to make me LESS depressed?
lol mark zucchini
When horrible things fail I can't help but feel grateful, and proud, to be part of a humanity which shuns and alienates such horrible things.
Right?? Like there’s still general common sense out there people still recognize dumb products
There is a sense of catharsis knowing the thing you know was dumb and shouldn't exist get struck down by reality
@@arrtwo1375 Then there’s Fortnite..
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
*God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
