Oooooh, I just finished this. Really really well done game.
There are some minor parts that could have been better (like not being able to skip/FFWD text) and it’s not quite as good in its shock or horror as DDLC or so while also not being quite as good in its meta-narrative as Stanley Parable but honestly that’s such a minor criticism it really doesn’t matter. Fantastic experience, and some super nice jump scares in there, including a few where you expected one and then there’s a different one.
Man, I had a friend gift it to me a few months ago. I watched a YouTuber play it years ago and it’s stuck in the back of my mind since. It’s awesome seeing this game brought up again
Just as AI will replace developers, and then we have Devin. Also don’t forget the artists that will be replaced, that’ll happen just when it learns that humans have 5 fingers per hand.
It’s all marketing for AI, by the afaik currently biggest supplier of AI hardware.
The whole hype will implode when AI itself implodes, not as the AGI singularity, but when the resource costs spiral out of control, and its keeps getting its own generated glop spoonfed
He’s probably referencing the tech we already saw a few years back where the game would render incredibly simple untextured geometry, then the gen AI reskins it to look like a realistic video.
Or maybe someone’s convinced him we’ll make whole games out of Gaussian Splats
Guys rule number 1 of the disinformation age… dont meaningfully engage with a post thats only a title and jpeg, especially if its playing on polarizing opinions or grand claims.
Dont let this crap prime you to come to conclusions you wouldnt have otherwise.
AI will eventually be given the task of creating a game based on prompts and it will be able to do that with minimal curation with considerations of other similar games and the consensus about them. It will be able to accomplish the entire dev in a fraction of the time of a conventional dev team of humans. This is probably 10-15 years away and will be the death of innovative risk taking games that come to be held in high regard.
What is emerging is AI upscaling that will eventually allow a game made 10 years ago to look new. Soon there will be extrapolative AI that can remaster something like Super Mario Bros or Goldeneye and make it into a modern gen graphics game regardless of what “modern” means.
AI can be a fantastic tool to ease the burdens of the game development process to decrease costs and time so smaller studios can focus on the core of what makes a game good. Unfortunately studios will integrate AI into the development process as they remove humans to decrease costs to an overall detrimental degree and the market will be flooded with mediocre derivative games that offer nothing of value in terms of experience.
This makes me feel like there will be a large group of retro gamers who will prefer the artisan, human-made games of the past, but ultimately a younger gen audience that won’t know the difference or care.
If you ask the question “is this hype or not”, l’d consider who is pushing the narrative and how much they have to gain from it and you’ll probably find your answer.
DMCA in the USA. Bad laws, bad results. I don’t know why Nintendo has a problem with me playing ToTK on my desktop at higher resolution than the Switch can put out, I own the game cart and a Switch.
