I read everything you wrote there and couldn’t, for a moment, understand what your complaint is. You don’t like that the characters are planning karaoke? Is that it?
Hey voice actors, take this five bucks today so we can make your job vanish tomorrow, it’s a win win! For us. Not you. This guy thinks you should do it though because we already… make npcs? That you currently voice.
Neat, I think we all know it’s not really in development as much as waiting for a date written on a contract. But more people having access to games is good
Oh yeah I’m sure they will use the ai to pay human workers as well. You definitely know that if they are allowed to use ai they won’t use it in a way that means they can stop paying humans and can just have ais generate everything all whist delivering a lower quality product to the customer.
It’s a win win, as long as you are an executive or a shareholder.
No. Not unless devs unionize. More time to make the game doesn’t mean less crunch, it’ll usually mean more crunch as crunch used to be a month or so before release and is now just the entire time a game is in production. So a longer production just means more crunch.
Crunch is a worker power problem, it’s companies taking advantage of the power they have over workers who can’t individually refuse.
They’ve been saying a new engine for a long time. It’s just not. they change subsystems, but people are saying they can feel the morrowind in their latest titles.
Embracer is currently the one killing half the companies they acquired a year ago. If embracer is even around a year from now it’s far more likely that they are selling ips rather than developing them
I don’t know anything about the game, maybe there was some big outrage I don’t know. Everyone always mad about games these days.
But that’s kind of sad. Doesn’t make me happy to see success siloed so much these days. In this industry it feels like there’s no space for anyone but the giant success stories, or the bedroom developer that can live on tiny indie sales
The company that owns the licensing to lotr is currently in a phase of will license the ip out to anyone mode. So whilst you might think there’s someone out there making decisions on what to do with the property, it’s more that a bunch of low budget companies are asking for the license and getting it for cheap
Yeah, it does, which is something tv tech has to try and derive themselves. Tv tech has to figure that stuff out. It’s actually less complicated in a fun kind of way. But please do continue to explain how it’s more compute heavy
Also just to be very clear, tv tech also encompasses motion vectors into the interpolation, that’s the whole point. It just has to compute them with frame comparisons. Games have that information encoded into various gbuffers so it’s already available.
You guys are talking about this as if it’s some new super expensive tech. It’s not. The chips they throw inside tvs that are massively cost reduced do a pretty damn good job these days (albit, laggy still) and there is software you can run on your computer that does compute based motion interpolation and it works just fine even on super old gpus with terrible compute.
