During the Gamescom presentation event in which trailers and announcements of Halo, Call of Duty and many other video games, there was also space for a very special project that sees the participation of the famous DJ and producer Joel zimmerman, in arte Deadmau5.
It’s called Oberhasli and, according to Zimmerman’s words, it’s the answer to the restrictions and limitations of those which today we call “concerts on Fortnite”, Like the recent one by Ariana Grande, which often take a lot of time and resources to create, but somehow leave the time they find. Moreover, more than concerts they are pre-recorded presentations inserted in the game engine to which some moments of interactivity are added and where the artist has little creative control and little opportunity to intervene directly.
Oberhasli if you base your Core, a tool developed by Manticore Games which is halfway between a kit for building video games or virtual spaces and a virtual space itself. A bit’ come Minecraft O Roblox.
Inside there are video games, animated short films, music videos and chat rooms, all obviously created by users. It is described as a “gigantic social space made up of interconnected worlds”, a definition that obviously makes one immediately think of Ready Player One (the book and also the film), but also to the project to transform Fortnite into a sort of multiverse in which to experience completely different situations.
Virtual reality
Facebook towards the Metaverse: Horizon Workrooms to work distant and together
by Emanuele Capone
A long-term project towards which many seem to converge realities that revolve around the world of technology and video games, including Facebook. And as much as Core may seem to compete with Fortnite, you can download it from the Epic Games Store.
So, Oberhasli will be a social hub where you can create and listen to live music where everyone will have the tools to create and manage a virtual stage and upload content. It looks like the modern version of social networks like MySpace, where music was both the pretext to sign up and the lingua franca among the patrons.
It will be interesting to understand how the parts relating to monetization and usage rights will be managed: more will be known about the October 14, when the project opens its doors. Obviously with an exclusive exhibition of Deadmau5.
