Meta revealed that an Xbox VR headset was on the way back in 2024, so where is it? And what form can we expect it to take?
What used to be the early stages of VR is now a niche-but-honed market.
The Smurfs might be 60 years young but their not done yet, coming to Meta Quest for the first time later this summer.
SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader in Fortnite claiming this was done without notification and has filed accordingly.
It's just a complaint, not a lawsuit, and it's completely unwarranted.
James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it.
So i don't know why SAG is getting involved as it makes it seem like they are going against james earl jones wishes or just wanted a cut...
They are concerned about A.I. replacing live talent. It's an unusual stance as you are correct; he left his voice and his family approved. The union is saying doing this versus using a live actor sets a bad precedent going forward. The use of A.I. has been a huge issue in the recent labor deals.
Well this is also an interactive AI Darth Vader that would have made live talent impossible unless they think a actor being in Fortnight 24/7 is an acceptable solution.
They should concentrate on cases that are possible to be done with live talent and that haven't been given blessing or sold by the original actor(for which they should have the right to sell)
"James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it."
I have to say if James approved this after his death... that would be... um...
Do you mean he approved it while he was alive for when he passed?
It's reported that he gave permission before his death and his estate(which i asume is his family) says so as well.
Because SAG-AFTRA are trade unions. They are the Hollywood mafia protecting their profits from anything they feel could undermine them. It's all about the almighty dollar, not artists.
Yea, the problem is that the games worth playing in VR in Microsoft's catalog do not run on Meta OS. Hands down one of the best VR experiences I've had was MS Flight Simulator, and you need a beast of a system to run it well! The one thing that could push Meta headsets is an "official" release of Minecraft VR. You had to do some workarounds before to get it running in VR (which is an amazing experience, I don't actually play the game flat), but they just removed all VR support for the game after an update at the end of March. Bring it back with an official, easy to use Meta Quest version. I wouldn't buy an XBox branded Quest, but I'd at least like to see them do a bigger push into VR. Doubt they'd do it bc it's still so niche, and they're struggling atm and trimming the fat as it is. (But omg, would I kill for an official Forza Horizon in VR w wheel support!!)
I'm not sure that a Metaquest with an Xbox logo slapped on it constitutes it being an "Xbox" headset. But whatever.
vision pro?
Future of Xbox is to slap an Xbox logo on things like slapping a Windows key on a keyboard.
Yeah, this thing is going to be jank.
