Here is the first console for NFT games, and the criticism is already skyrocketing
At the beginning of the year it seemed that NFTs were to be the next next big thing, so much so that more and more entertainment and gaming giants seemed to want to bet on it strongly. Over the months the phenomenon has been reduced going to collect “only” the interest of a slice of curious however very large. In the meantime, there are also those who have decided to announce a console that promises to be completely based on NFT-based gaming experiences.
This is the Polium One console, hardware recently announced by the Web 3 company and that promises to make us play a whole series of NFT experiences. The company calls its new hardware “the world’s first multi-chain gaming console,” which will be able to run games based on different blockchains. The platform, whose design and pad have also been unveiled, “will be powerful enough to run high-performance games and will be easy to use even for traditional gamers who don’t know Web 3,” the company says.
Polium One promises to debut no earlier than 2024, but apparently there are many clouds around such a project. First of all, this announcement has been greeted with great skepticism by many users, many of whom are not clear about what type of games they will be able to play on the console. To increase the doubts is the same company, which has not yet clarified what will be in detail the experiences that can be played on such hardware.
Other users, then, have pointed out that the Polium logo is basically that of the Nintendo Game Cube but overturned and rearranged properly to bring out the letter ‘P’ of Polium. Other criticism also comes from the official Discord of the project, which was launched without any moderation, where several users have already targeted the console calling it a scam and advising the company to let it go. It still seems too early to sum up, but for the moment we have still seen too little of Polium’s ambition.
The company has announced little else for the time being, except that the controller will be equipped with a fingerprint reader and a key that will give quick access to the user’s wallet. Polium also promises great performance from its NFT gaming machine, with the console being able to run games in 8K with HDR, 120fps and ray tracing. Now we just have to figure out what games we will be able to play on this console in 2024, provided that this project, at the moment very smoky and criticized, will not be scaled back in its ambitions.
