Blended-realness panther crashes Carolina Panthers game

We here at Personal computer Gamer are aficionados of the repugnance that is old graphics card art, featuring such design classics as 'frog in a mech beseem', 'creepy naked goblin' and 'alien ready-made out of aluminium'. The promise of performance has never been made in weirder ways.

The crowd of 70,000 people watching the Carolina Panthers versus the New York Jets this Sunday credibly weren't thinking of the Radeon X550's box art, but something along those lines is what they got. This match, in the Panther's home stadium in Charlotte, N, conspicuous the unveiling of an Unreal Engine panther that jumps around the stadium interior and roof, pausing only to rip up a realistic New York Jets banner.

The panther seems a bit of an graceless host. And also just... non selfsame good-natured? Boastful Zuul vibes. I guess half-time entertainment will always be a affair, but does it have to be an unskippable boss cutscene? What's wrong with a satisfactory old march band and Gunnersaurus, eh.

The mixed-reality panther was shown on in-stadium videoboards and pumped through the sound arrangement. If it seems mistily fellow that's likely because creators The Famous Mathematical group let produced adjacent happenings for gaming companies like Riot (at the 2017 LoL world championship finals, above), and also made a sundry-reality raven for the Baltimore Ravens back in 2019. The LoL one is extraordinary, perchance because the effect itself seems a more taken for granted fit for a giant CG flying lizard, and the spectacle of a experience banding playing and teams taking to the arrange amidst the chaos.

As for the Carolina Panthers: well, IT's a good thing they won the tally after this spectacle, imagine doing this to your opponents' flag then taking a beating. I'm also glad it exists because there were people in the comments asking if information technology was real. Yeah, the mainstream media really slept happening that giant panther that stomped similar 500 people and half a football team.
