It’s amazing to me that for so many years, the games industry was obsessed with making video games into art, and now they’re obsessed with making them anything but art.

It won’t create compelling dialogue, ever. It will always be nothing more than a Rorschach test. You can see something in there, but only what you put in. It has no real meaning.

I saw someone make an excellent point that the fundamental issue with the AI generated dialogue is that it lacks intent. Like an author when writing those kinds of scenes has a sense of context and how those interactions are supposed to contribute to the larger whole, even more so if the NPC has meaning for the plot.

The main issue is that the end results just aren’t particularly convincing. They feel very stilted and unnatural. Also, I’m not looking forward to having to actually speak or type out all of my dialogue choices. That’s going to get old real quick.

Was going to waste my time responding in full but honestly? Fuck off.

Super Nintendo World is still a year away in Orlando.  And that park is much, much larger than Hollywood.  Most of the areas there have more attractions than their Hollywood counterpoints.

I believe it’s coming to Florida so eventually it will make its way to America.

Final Destination teaches us that yeah sure that could happen but death could also come for you standing in the shower. Do you want to die flying through the air at 100mph or wet and naked in the bathroom?

what point of failure? you are not actually riding the broken tracks at all you are just in a cart that is raise above the real 1-piece track.

Wow, this is just really shit. I hope they receive enough pushback to just unlock a god damn basic feature for any open-world game made in the last three or four generations, this is beyond scummy to lock it behind pricier editions. What’s next, multiple save slots locked behind paywalls? Oh wait...

Call me crazy but I prefer video games that have effort put into them.

It’s bright and flashy in all the wrong ways. Just watched the trailer in the article and I swear it gave a mild headache. Doesn’t help that the character designs are offensively bland. Who workshopped this into existence? Not wishing it to fail, but this seems like a misplaced investment.

Foamstars uses AI art.

“Wanda facing absolutely no consequences for literally torturing a whole town will forever leave a bad taste”

“There have been many comparisons on the internet,” said Okatani, “But also, we saw on social media that the people who actually played it saw that it’s a completely different game.”

No.  This is not the topic to try to go “but on the other hand”.  THERE IS NO OTHER HAND.  The toxicity needs to stop, end of conversation.

Gamers gotta be the #1 demographic for “People who think they know how something works but actually have no idea”.

I drive to work every day. I don’t pretend to think I know even 1% of how to make a car.

idk, while I agree that it’s nice to have the main cast not entirely dependent on the MC, there are other ways to get across the idea that the characters have their own lives and issues they don’t share with the player. The games actually do a pretty good job of it as it is with how not everyone is available every…

There is a certain degree of mutual exclusivity. There’s a separation between S.Links and main story that I feel is slightly detrimental to storytelling. For instance, persona evolutions in P3 were pivotal character defining moments that you really felt were earned. Past P3, it’s relegated as a reward for spending x…

Arbitrarily denying the player a chance to get to know its male cast better felt tied up in some heteronormative nonsense.
