I was going to say I'm in no rush to get one but will do down the line. But I just can't justify paying Β£75 for a game. It's just too much. I don't pay Β£70 for a new game now on my ps5. But Nintendo games don't drop in price. So now I feel I'm getting priced out of gaming. This is coming from an adult who has his own business. But with the cost of living so high now. I think this is going to be a pass for me. π
@nessisonett exactly and this is part of what I was trying to get at when I said the majority of people are blind to it all and don't understand it all either.
@heavyartillery56 This is the new truth. People don't know what's coming. The whole world as we know it is about to change forever and there's no going back.
Seriously anyone who isn't informed about AI and where it is going really needs to do some research.
A quick search on YouTube for the 10 levels of AI would be a good start.
I'm happy for people who like and enjoy these kind of games but to me being a little ignorant about the genre, they all look the same to me and I don't see the difference between them all
Hmm, unfortunately, the world as we once knew will change forever and there's no going back.
This is only the beginning what many people don't realise is AI is as big as say the invention of the steam engine.
We are only at the beginning. There are 10 levels of AI. The next level is ASI Artificial Super Intelligence. Level 10 is know as Godlike AI.
Anyway it's pointless trying to go against it.
As an artist I've decided to embrace it, not for creating my art because I'm a painter. But to help me with the day to day tasks with the business.
As a painter I see it as though AI will add value to my artwork. People will favour traditional hand painted artwork by a human than something created by a computer programme as there is skill involved and uniqueness.
AI over the next few years will advance so quickly. People will lose jobs and governments will fail to legislate as quickly as it advances. But it does need legislation even if it can't be updated as quickly.
@djlard fair enough everyone has a choice. But I'm afraid there will be no escaping it. It will be in every day life from TVs you phones everything. So what will you realistically do then?
@KoopaTheGamer And how will you avoid AI in everyday life? Don't suppose you use chat assistants on websites. They are the lower level AIs.
If you haven't got a PS5 Pro what will you do when you get one or a PS6 because PSSR uses AI. Will you just abandon gaming on any console that uses AI?
Also if you look at the wider world will you be refusing medical treatment because AI was used in the development of new medications or cures?
@Kienda yes I am one of those people that has tried souls like games but just don't get on with them. It's a shame because I so want to because they look excellent.
My ps plus lapsed last august. I don't miss it. I don't have the time to play like I used to. Now I'll just buy a game of I want to play it when it comes down in price
I mean they have the current assets etc from the first game so you'd think a sequel would be a quicker turn around at this point rather than a brand new IP π€·π»
For me personally, now isn't a golden age for gaming. The games are just not for me anymore. Games just aren't being made that cater to my tastes π€·π»
I'm looking forward to this. I'm not a fan of fantasy settings, which there seems to be absolutely loads of games out or coming out in that setting. So yes this I'm excited about to keep me going until mass effect π
How do people rack up such high amounts of game time. I could never reach those heights. I run a business in the day and have other adulting things that take up my time I guess.
Are these people adults that work or a younger generation with time on their hands?
I'm not saying there shouldn't be a level of certain standards for us employees. There definitely should be.
But if people are just slacking and being more unproductive than when they started the job and there has been no change to working practices then they need kick up the backside. They are at work not on a jolly.
Now if the working practices have changed that's caused the slacking and being less productive then there is obviously something that needs to be dealt with.
I hope whatever it is, is not just modern entitlement that most people seem to think they have these modern days

We as gamers are happy with great storytelling and gameplay

Re: Call of Duty Confirms Use of Generative AI in Blockbuster PS5, PS4 Franchise
@djlard what we have now is nothing compared to what's coming. This is beginner AI.
Re: Call of Duty Confirms Use of Generative AI in Blockbuster PS5, PS4 Franchise
@KoopaTheGamer I hear you. I think in that case games companies should state whether their games have used AI to help create them.
I mean there's no right or wrong answer here. Just that I guess we all have a choice to an extent.
But what we have right now is the beginning basic foundations AI.
But everyday People honestly do not see what's coming and how much the world will change.
I think people should do a bit of research into AI to understand where we are at now and where it's going.

Seriously someone tell me. I honestly think these people don't play any games because nothing is ever good enough for them in the first place.
Did they really think it was going to be 40 minutes of pure playstation studio after playstation study? Get a grip. π
