Mark Zuckerberg congratulated the launch of Horizon Worlds in France and Spain on his Facebook page. He illustrated the post with an image that caused a huge wave of negativity and criticism. On it you can see the architectural monuments of both countries and the head of the company.

Evil Horizon Worlds

We’re launching Horizon Worlds today in France and Spain! I can’t wait to see how people create wonderful worlds and expand to other countries in the near future.
Zuckerberg wrote.

However, critics were quick to say that the design of this “impressive” world is not impressive at all. In the screenshot, Zuckerberg’s “pasty” robot avatar, whose design has been compared to low-end Wii Mii avatars, is set against an evil landscape of three small trees, something oddly spherical in the background, and awkwardly placed replicas of the Eiffel. Tower and Tibidabo Cathedral.

Drum editor John McCarthy posted a screenshot of the article on his Twitter page and said: “That’s bad. They have to stop. It doesn’t look like the real product. It’s nothing spectacular.”

According to McCarthy, the metaverse doesn’t have to look realistic, but when the main product looks like “the painted walls of an abandoned kindergarten,” it does make one think.

Twitter heats up

Twitter users, of course, had something to say.

Facebook spent $10 billion on Metaverse projects in 2021. The graphics look like they came out of a computer game developed in 1997,
– wrote one from users.

Another is jokingThe metastore is the same Animal Crossing, but you’re being hunted by Mark Zuckerberg. Someone also compared Horizon Worlds to The Sims, which came out in 2014 but had better graphics. “Zuckerberg’s meta-universe looks like crap,” declared the publication Futurism.

In Zuckerberg’s defense, VR graphics don’t always translate well to non-VR displays. Be that as it may, but similar developments from rivals like Fortnite and Roblox look much better and are already enjoying great success.

Jane Manchun Wong has something to say

The situation was commented on by well-known columnist and app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who actively tests Horizon Worlds and makes frequent posts on Twitter about it.

17 August Wrote: “The plus of Horizon World is that worlds are created within the platform by other Horizon users. The Quest title works offline. No computer, powerful graphics cards or professional 3D software is required. The downside is that the result is a low poly result and looks like this”.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the company is. Meta prioritized more user access over image quality. Jane Manchun Wong also posted her own screenshots from Horizon World. They have a slightly better environment and content, but the graphics are not far from Zuckerberg’s example.
