Honestly, the CEO of Razer probably knows and understands AI more than most Push Square commenters, whether they're for or against the technology, ever will, so no notes from me.
So, the developers of some of the best VR and Meta exclusives – Asgard's Wrath, Deadpool VR, Resident Evil 4 VR on Quest – get awarded for their wonderful work by getting shut down by Meta.
I love virtual reality, it has provided some of the most unique and immersive experiences in video games. But Meta being the leader of VR, and with basically all of their competition besides maybe Valve basically nothing for VR, Sony/PlayStation included, I'm worried that this is it for virtual reality.
Between Microsoft, Meta, and Google, I think that big conglomerates getting involved in the video game industry has been a massive mistake.
Maybe Valve's new headset can change things for virtual reality, maybe Sony can actually develop some damn VR titles, and maybe some other competitor could join the VR medium, but right now, it isn't looking good. For now, hoping the best for everyone laid off.
A. Big companies overhyping AI and laying off 99% of their staff for some LLM that is about as intelligent as a toaster. B. People getting mad at even the slightest use of AI in an otherwise fully human-made masterpiece of art.
Stop getting mad at smaller companies for using AI for placeholders. There are a hell of a lot of better reasons to critique AI.
It's really nice to see this developer still be around after all these years, especially since they've kept their own art style and have stuck to the kind of games they've started with.
@Zeroo ???
What was the point of being so aggressive with your reply? I'm sorry, but there was honestly no reason for the harsh final sentence of your message.
I was replying to someone else, and I specifically said "If they didn't put a disclaimer...", since multiple people in this very comment section said that there was AI generated assets in the game at some point in time.
I may not know the full context of the situation, and I did under goodwill assume that some of the comments were being truthful, and for jumping to conclusions, I fully apologize. But that doesn't justify you calling me "clueless" about AI, especially since my information was based off of other commenters here.
If they really did only use LLMs for minimal coding, I don't disagree with you, but I still think they should be upfront about it. Regardless, I hope you have a nice and joyous day.
@LifeGirl Ok, I understand that AI is an advanced technology and will likely be implemented in many pieces of media. That I understand. But I just don't like how you're boiling down human artists as "old people yelling at clouds". These people put hours, weeks, years into their craft, so I think it's disrespectful to just boil it down to something so simple and condescending. You can like AI art, I'm not going to stop you with that, but don't just disrespect the human craft.
It's also ironic how you're saying this on an article of a game which, despite its use of AI, is 99% developed and made by hundreds of humans. Is there a single original piece of media almost completely crafted by AI that's actually good?
I feel like people are way too ok with the fact that Sandfall just flat out lies to its audience about its use of AI. I don't care if it is a minimal amount. I don't care if it barely affects the game. Don't tell people something that isn't true.
I have no sympathy for them losing their spot in the awards ceremony. Not because they used AI period–honestly it's so miniscule that I doubt it would have affected sales, and this particular use doesn't bother myself as a non-AI artist. They deserve losing their spot because they lied, especially since there was no reason for lying.
I don't hate AI. I think that it can have many benefits for humanity if implemented well. But it will never fully replace human-made art. AI just pulls data from the internet, and because of that, it honestly never tells complete to me.
Anyways, based off of how dreadfully long this game was in development, plus how long Take Two and 2K titles take to develop (Judas, GTA 6), I can't wait to hear about this project again in 2097.
I really need to get to this game, it looks so good. I love the art style, the characters look interesting, and I love the Telltale Games style of gameplay. Sucks that I missed the episodic release, but I do that with all media these days, so womp womp
I'd usually groan at stuff like this, but FX is one of the most consistently great production companies and television networks. And it's from the people behind some of FX's best, so unlike pretty much anything else Ubisoft, I have hope for this.
Just to note, the "games were always just licensed to users" point isn't really accurate. When you bought a disc or cartridge on a, let's say PS2 or GBA, the developer can't take that away from you. They may own the copyright, but you own that disc/cartridge until you lose it or whatever.
Really disappointing outcome, hopefully the EU has a better response. As an outsider, it seems like the UK government has been out of touch its citizens, especially their younger ones, with this and the age verification controversy.
@dodgykebaab Cling onto the past all you want. I don't even have Game Pass anymore as of last year, I don't care about my own old comments, and I don't care much about how you feel about my old comments.
If you're gonna expect me to take time out of my day to defend a service that has increased in price by 1.5–2 times the price, or expect me to apologize for opinions I don't stand by anymore, I'm afraid that you're wrong.
So please, leave your troubles with more recent articles please, not articles older than the current generation of consoles. Thank you.
It's not a Push Square PS Plus poll if the majority of votes isn't "No, it's a crap selection", and it's even better this month, considering the fact that all three of these games are highly acclaimed.
@Haruki_NLI Didn't PUBG switch to Unreal Engine 5 last year? That engine is notorious for poor optimizing (GRRR, MARVEL RIVALS!!!!), so 1440p 60fps is honestly better than I would've guessed.
And, only 1440p? Is 1440p already an outdated enough of a resolution to be scoffed at? If so, don't tell any PC players about my 1080p monitor lmao
@TruestoryYep The "A ___ Film" thing is very common for directors of a movie. You'll see it a lot at the end of movie trailers (or at least used to, I think it's still done nowadays), and you'll usually see it on posters for films, especially from big name directors (Christopher Nolan, Russo Brothers, James Gunn, Ryan Coogler, Jordan Peele). Obviously, they're not the only people behind the film, and I doubt that many of them are trying to make it out like that, but besides the actors or characters, they're the face of a film, and that alone can influence whether someone watches a film or not. That, and also the director is arguably the most important part of a film, as they are the ones who bring together that team, they bring together a film's vision, and they get the film to the finish line.
Now, I'll be honest. I haven't played any of Hideout Kojima's games. But I do know that he directs the games within his Kojima Productions studio, and he does have a vision with all of them. So, yes, he's not the only one who puts these games together, but kinda like film directors, he does have a huge role in the production in the Metal Gear and Death Stranding games, so I understand why the "A Hideo Kojima Game" tagline is on the box art and credits of those games.
I'm glad that they got rid of the $80 price, but I'm surprised that Microsoft didn't follow up this price drop with laying off half of Obsidian's team.
Ubisoft will do anything but give us a new damn Rayman game.
Note: I know that Ubisoft announced that a new Rayman was in the works, but considering the fact that this is the company that is infamous for cancelling projects and having them be in development hell (Skull and Bones, Beyond Good & Evil 2), I'm not believing anything they say until we see a title, a release date, and footage. Maybe.
I think that every higher-up and executive in Xbox, Microsoft Gaming, and Microsoft deserve a huge bonus and salary boost for their brave work today. It takes a hell of a lot of ambition and hard work to do something so stupid.
Sucks that Sony is significantly deprioritizing their smaller franchises, but at least they're licensing it to Bandai Namco, and it's nice that Patapon will be available on modern hardware.
Hopefully this collection does well so that we can finally get a new Patapon movie game!
Hell yes. We need more good original VR games like Blade and Sorcery, Saints and Sinners, and Boneworks. Not as in action or fighting games, but moreso, great games that define the platform.
1. This doesn't look terrible, but the fact that it's made by GameMill makes me very cautious. 2. They stretched out the Nickelodeon logo at the end of the trailer.
It's really funny seeing grown adults get mad over a little Roblox game. Yeah, it's not particularly high quality, but it doesn't really seem harmful. And even if it was a high quality Roblox game, even if this game was as quality as something like Elden Ring, you'd still complain and still wouldn't play it.
What I'm saying is, calling children stupid over a gardening game is kinda pathetic.
