Meta announced a few days ago that it will participate in the GDC conference held from March 20 to 24, and shared related schedule activities. Although there is a high probability that Meta will choose to release a new game at the Gaming Showcase held later instead of the GDC conference, the team will set up a demo room so that visitors can experience a series of excellent VR and MR content through Quest 2 and Quest Pro . Meanwhile, the company has planned four keynote presentations for attendees.

It looks like Zucker may actually me learning and is finally taking gaming 10% more seriously than he was before outside of Beat Saber.

Not only is he appealing to developers by appealing to them by offering a demo of tools and technology to help them develop experience in VR, or that's what this implies, also admit customers expectations are increasing.

They will also be releasing a new game which I'm assuming isn't Beat Saber 2.

It could be possible that Zucker is pivoting to finally helping developers improve software to continue selling more VR units, and improve the VR markets software sales in general. Two of the keynotes the company will be making around the event are focused on customer expectations and developer experience, so assuming those shows are as they are being read in the summaries, and are executed seriously, this is a good thing for VR.

I'm curious what the new game release will be, because that's going to be the example people will hold them to after their presentations.

I too am amazed at this accurate representation of Paris. It's so 1:1 it's almost like you are really there! Only issue I have is the buttons on his shirt don't align, but other than that 100% authentic.*

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

The person looks pretty androgynous.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

This starts tomorrow btw.

We will get to see Zuckers gaming uh.

Plan?

And the new game that he's supposedly going to launch.

If he's smart, he'll announce and reveal info on the Quest 3 during one of these scheduled events, which may also clam down the panic he caused with his leaked meeting shifting from Zuckerverse to AI, however that move would be strategic and he's not been doing well on that so far.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Incredible how far technology has come, like literal real-life quality graphics in a standalone VR headset.

Yeah the AI shift got me nervous, that needs to be talked about I think. Hopefully we’ll get some cool news from these talks.

The team of employees that made this must have weekly party's celebrating how many hundreds of millions of dollars they wasted trolling his ass.

The team of employees that made this must have weekly party's celebrating how many hundreds of millions of dollars they wasted trolling his ass.

To be fair he would have had to seen it, and approve it, and though it was ok. Which says more about Zuckerberg than anything else.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Ok, so they are having demos but don't seem to be doing much else for GDC early on, I was hoping for some Zuckerberg silliness.

But they have their conferences starting on the 22.

Session 1: Developing Marvel’s Iron Man VR for Meta Quest​

• When: Wednesday, March 22, 11:30 am – 12:00 pm PT
• Where: West Hall of the Moscone Center
• Speaker: Matt Walker, Director of Production, Meta (Camouflaj)

Session 2: What's Up with VR? Meta Quest Today and Where It’s Going Tomorrow​

• When: Wednesday, March 22, 2:00 – 3:00 pm PT
• Where: West Hall of the Moscone Center

Session 2 is probably where the good stuff will be.

 

[E-Cat]

Don't make fun of that, it cost $10B.

Yeah wednesday it is. Hoping for some nice Quest 3 news.

 

[VolticArchangel]

I swear to god, even his virtual avatar looks like an android...

I'm not complaining though. If this is the hill their investors want to die on, so be it. Cambridge Analytica would miss them dearly, they're the only ones who would...
