Do we know what the grand NFT vision is?
Depends how they do it I guess. I've read things were having an NFT allows you to vote on tournament rules and get bonuses from advertisers/partners while you want it unfold. Could be some interesting stuff from a spectator perspective. Like when you buy a T-Shirt at the end of a concert.
I'll take a share of the revenue Ubi, no probelms at all. Surely there's no catch.
It's basically just DLC, but instead of it being a passive thing you buy and use then lose, you buy it and retain ownership. So instead of the copany having the power over it, you have the power over it. So it's a good thing in theory, as long as they keep it that pure.

All the transactions and royalty payouts aree done on blockchain that runs on Azure. Ubisoft also licenses that tech to handle all its transactions. https://www.blockchaingamer...<...
explain to me @northpaws how that is any different to now. What difference does it make to you if a skin is an NFT or not an NFT. I'd rather have the option to sell it on, rather than to have no option at all. The cost to get it does not change. Quartz is very clearly not an investor market. You can't even get a skin unless you buy a $70 game and play a significant amount of it.
That's a very alarmist view. Firstly, the whole point of NFTs is that you do still get them even if the game closes or the exchange shuts down. Secondly, the costs won't change. A skin now and a skin as an NFT have no price or practical difference. it's just that a skin now you don't own. If the value of that skin goes down, well you're no worse off than if you had bought it as DLC. If the skin goes up, well lucky you. You're better off.
The one thin...
I've never bought MT or DLC, and have never felt like I'm missing out. Just saying.
For those who may not know, the Xbox Game Pass is run on blockchain. I'm pretty sure the Epic Games Marketplace is, too. Which means probably Fortnite as well - if it's not already it will be. It also probably means most games on UE5 will, too.
The companies are already using the tech and we love the application without complaint. Game Pass is great. Ubisoft has just had the guts to say, what if we used this tech to give you the ownership.
Lol!
Interestingly, they did state in that interview that it will be up to individual teams to decide if they want to align their game with NFTs. And also that they will use a new IP for P2E games. So that's something.
NFTs are coming whether we like it or not. If they keep it separate to everything we do already as they say here, then perhaps it won't be too bad.
This is laughable this story. Sony PR... anyone who has delt with PR knows that they don't have the power to answer any of these questions. They can answer only what they've been told they can answer from higher up. Avoids answering, lol!!!
Agreed!!
Assuming those features aren't already out in other headsets by 2023
The foveated rendering should mean they can push up the res. It's 2K currently, not 4K. 2K is where we were with VR a few years ago.
Double what? It's res is well under Vive Pro 2 and HP Reverb G2 and Varjo Aero
Not sure popularity had anything to do with it. We're talking about where the spec expectations for VR will be in a year from now. The Oculus Quest is the Switch of VR. It's great with an awesome use case, but underpowered. As for PSVR it was not popular - I think 6m units in total in five years? Although I loved it.
The res and FOV are down on current top VR headsets. And could be way down if this doesn't get released till 2023. Especially if top headsets go wireless with Wi Fi 6e.
But the headset feedback sounds awesome. And eye tracking and Sense controller with Sony exclusives could be a game changer.
Do you reckon EA was in on this? It is the company behind loot boxes after all. NFTs will be next.
