Excited For The Metaverse? You Won’t Be After Watching This Video

In a now-deleted tweet, Meta Horizons — the Facebook parent company’s official metaverse account — gave us a bizarre four-minute long video which detailed the aftermath of Godzilla stepping on a Wendy’s.

Yes, you read that correctly. In order to show off the capabilities of the metaverse, Meta tweeted an incredibly low quality video before shortly deleting it. Fortunately, a YouTube user managed to capture it for posterity. You can watch it below, at your own peril.

The company tweeted that this bizarre vignette was part of an event in which Godzilla would go around destroying stuff — saying it was a “once in a lifetime experience.”

The faces are still featureless — looking more like the Mii avatars from Wii Sports, which launched in 2006 — than the next step in an expanded version of reality.

Despite tweeting that “Legs are coming soon!” on 12 October, it seems as though bipedal avatars are still a step too far for the metaverse.

The voice interactions also seemed quite clumsy with the avatars talking over each other and with long pauses in between the questions they were asking each other.

Meta says it has a goal of attracting half a million users to the metaverse by the end of the year. However, recent reports are suggesting that the player base has actually fallen over the course of 2022 from 300,000 to 200,000. With this odd fever dream of a video, it seems as though the company may have some way to go before convincing previous members to re-join — let alone attracting new ones.
