It's SL + some :p

It's obviously not 1:1, I'm not saying that at all. It is a social MMO just like SL was designed to be in a 3D space. They've taken the idea and tweaked it / added their ideas, on top of the gaming integration.

Like I said, not getting into a huge debate about it, we've already gone over it a million times lol. Just wait to see what the wider gaming audience thinks when it's released!

I guarantee you'll be hearing a lot of "The Sims" & "Second Life" coments though and its obvious why.

Yeah that's been happening since day 1, but I thought most of us knew better :p

We know the differences, what goes into the service, how it operates, some of us, yourself included, even knowledge about all the networking and interaction with things like game launching/clan clubs, etc.

So I'd expect people who look at it graphically to be saying Sims/SL, but quite frankly it's not a clone when looked at in depth, just shares similarities - Unavoidable similarties, how else can you build a 3D world without avatars/character integration and personalization?

Would be a pretty bland world without all of them. Bland for those interested, obviously there's the dislikers who'll just say it's bland regardless of what it offers.

Yeah I know, I just had to make a post to get 1001 posts.

Hopefully it is something better than SL, even tho the principles are the same.

As long as the meeting up and starting game sessions is there, then it could be a good way to get some gaming in, im not sure if the game session thing or starting like Motorstorm was there yet?

I'll bring the bubble machine \m/

**Edit 3pm**

Still progressing nicely, now on the testing stage. No eta still as I wouldnt want to guess how long it will take for each region to verify its elements are working but we're getting there.

**Edit 3:15pm**

Not there yet, the testing is still going on, but I wanted to mention a couple of other things that need clarification.

The Far Cry2 and Uncharted spaces will not be available in our region today as the localisation and testing phase is not yet complete. They will follow on later.

Additonally the Diesel and Ligne Roset content will be added next week at the same time as the Red Bull Air Race.

So that basically sucks

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
