A comparison to Rec Room or VRChat would make much more sense and be way more fitting to support your argument.

- onion2k 7y agoThat Facebook Horizon video is exactly how Linden Lab marketed Second Life.
- neuronic 7y agoGoing to be interesting how Facebook will handle the (legal) fringe and subvert creativity when it doesn't fit their business model. Any such VR world should be openly developed and not be provided by a corporation who can selectively put anything in there and inhibit anything going against company policies. This is Black Mirror waiting to happen.
- thelittleone 7y agoI really enjoyed SL for a few years. At one point in some role play world that involved hunting or being hunted with bow and arrow or melee weapons. I had played plenty of other purpose build FPS but enjoyed that SL game more despite the crap graphics, laggy scripts, weapons, hacks etc. It felt more visceral. I never spent a cent inside of an FPS but probably spent a few thousand dollars in SL.
- Kiro 7y agoSure but the parent post was talking about the graphics. Second Life looked good when it launched but is so old that it looks outdated. It tried to look realistic while both Horizon and Rec Room goes with the Mii look. My point is that Rec Room is a better comparison since it uses the same graphics style, is way more popular/up-to-date and is also VR.
- glenneroo 7y agoOr why not compare it to SecondLife's foray into VR "Sansar"? I haven't tried in about 9 months but it's definitely an improvement from SL, albeit full of bugs.
