The gaming startup will allow Netflix subscribers to create avatars that can extend across gaming titles.

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.
But they’re too late! I’m too entrenched in the Nintendo ecosystem, with my perfectly formed Mii that I demand to play as in a variety of games.
If only they had thought of this sooner!
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.
Yall are all misunderstanding it, it needs to be implemented when making the game, if 5 games use it, you can use the same avatar across them, the games are already designed to work and look good with readyplayer me avatars if they add them? It’s not something added after look development, it’s adecision made for the player avatars early on.

You would think so, but my Mii fits in perfectly.
(Uh, hopefully it’s obvious that I’m bullshitting. I can’t believe how stupid Mii looked in various Nintendo games. It takes a special kind of leadership at Netflix not to have learned from Nintendo’s… experience.)
