Web3 Gamer – Cointelegraph Magazine

The live broadcast was to test the X’s new streaming capabilities, as Musk wanted to see if the audio sounded normal, the images looked pretty good, and the comments worked. The results were successful and the live broadcast ended without any interception or distortion.

It’s no secret that Musk wants to make X a super app, and this move is just another brick in the wall of features the Everything App aspires to offer. Musk commented on X’s place among other streaming apps like Kick and Twitch:

“I think very specialized apps can still be better than us in many ways, but you know, I think we can be the best generalist app. I think being a generalist app is really important for discovering the world and interacting with the world. There’s value in having the most people interacting.”

He continued to answer audience questions at the end of the live broadcast, without mentioning cryptocurrency, and announced streaming capabilities for Xbox and PS5.

From trendy ape images on the blockchain to the next step in the evolution of art, NFTs have come quite a journey. While it would be difficult to call it a thriving market since the start of 2022, the NFT ecosystem is continuing to experience a roller coaster ride as new use cases emerge and old ones are no longer viable.

Travel to dapreda Report It shows that daily active wallets in the NFT space took a significant share from gaming in Q3, with activity doubling while accounting for just 7% of the entire blockchain ecosystem in Q2 2023. jumped to 12%.

Beyond cool images or pixelated art, NFTs may also show potential as an entry tool for the Web3 community. Cronos Labs is a Web3 startup accelerator supported by cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. Crypto.com is no stranger to NFT and Web3 games because of its NFT series released in partnership with global brands.

Ella Qiang, head of ecosystem at Cronos Labs, told the magazine that it is notoriously difficult to build a community from scratch in blockchain games. However, having an NFT collection means you also have an attractive community of NFT holders – a great start for building a gaming community.

“That’s why some successful games on Cronos have launched NFT collections and built communities around them.”

Qiang said that there are two main routes for crypto games: “The first is the Web3 route, which starts with an NFT collection and builds an attractive community. Then the community will be passionate about this collection and want to see these NFTs. More practicality.”

The second route involves the established Web2 IP and its established user base. At some point, studios may want to add some Web3 elements to their IP. Cronos Labs is helping many mobile game studios integrate Web3 components into traditional games.

“It’s very challenging for them. It’s not like putting an NFT into an established game or creating a token in a game – it’s much more complicated than that.”

In this case, the response from Web2 gamers might not be what the studio expected. Qiang said they may not like using NFTs or tokens in their favorite games.

Briefings also play a key role in community acceptance. Zynga, one of the most well-known mobile game publishers, recently announced the launch of its Web3 gaming platform and cross-media IP Sugartown, as well as a new NFT series. Although traditional players account for the majority of Zynga’s user base, Zynga’s “Sugartown Oras” quickly became the most popular NFT series on the NFT market OpenSea.

Amazon partners with Web3 gaming company

Immutable, a Web3 gaming platform, declare It has partnered with industry giant Amazon Web Services to expand opportunities for game developers. AWS has added Immutable to its Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Acceleration Program, a program of companies offering software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS.

The agreement allows Immutable to provide game studios with training, technical support and up to $100,000 in AWS cloud credits to cover the cost of cloud services through AWS Activate.

John Kearney, head of new startups at AWS Australia and New Zealand, commented on the impact of AWS on the development of Immutable:

“AWS is accelerating the development of Immutable by bringing onboard new game studios and providing them with resources through our flagship AWS Activate program and AWS’s ISV Accelerate program, which gives them the tools to accelerate its global launch.”

Immutable is no stranger to Amazon, as the platform is built using Amazon EventBridge and AWS Lambda, a serverless service that allows Immutable to use events to connect application components and scale quickly.

Unchanged product marketing chief Michael Powell solved There are concerns among blockchain purists, who point out that games are built on centralized platforms and that striking a balance between decentralization and actual game development is crucial.

The upcoming free-to-play massively multiplayer online action game lets players experience chaotic battlefields with gameplay similar to the signature style of Star Wars: Battlefront and Battlefield games. MetalCore combines infantry combat with vehicle combat, featuring an impressive lineup of towering mechas, armored tanks, and high-flying jets for players to command.

MetalCore has eight classes with different attributes and expertise: Light Infantry, Heavy Infantry, Super Heavy Infantry, Engineer, Medic, Scout, Sniper, and Pilot. Players can switch between first and third person and participate in player versus player and player versus environment game modes.

The graphics are mesmerizing and look AAA quality, and for good reason. The team behind MetalCore is comprised of industry veterans with experience in AAA games, including Fortress Heroes, Walking Dead, Gears of War 3 and Mortal Kombat. The game also features designs and illustrations from the staff of famous Hollywood franchises such as The Avengers, Star Wars, and Star Wars.

The game is being developed by two studios, Studio 369 and Umbrella Network. Studio 369 handles most of the actual game production on Unreal Engine, while Umbrella Network brings Web3 experience in blockchain development and data management.

MetalCore’s in-game token FAB can be freely exchanged and traded on the exchange, and allows players to purchase and customize vehicles such as aircraft, gunships, fighters, and bombers. Players can drive these vehicles into battle, or choose to gift, trade, or lease them.

From lands and garages to exclusive gear, war machines, pilots and in-game currency, everything is presented as MetalCore’s NFTs. Using NFT allows players to truly own their own assets. Rare weapons, cosmetics, and skins are also available as NFTs and can be traded on the open market.

The mechanized combat game is steadily building partnerships with powerful companies, including Immutable, the Ethereum-based Web3 gaming platform, and Epic Games, the second most popular digital game publisher in the gaming community.

MetalCore looks to be of good quality, which is what Web3 games need. If it delivers on its promise, we may finally get a good, fun product in the Web3 gaming space.
