Did they really need AI to make furry bait? Have they seen how many talented artists there are in the furry community?

The zoopunk one still hurts me the most because I loved FIST:Forged in Shadow Torch and got really excited that zoopunk was effectively a sequal, then I heard about the generative AI ship building mechanic they shoehorned into it and had a whirlwind of emotions

If you're going to make a furry game please for the love of dog get some furry artists onboard, they're creative, devoted and will produce furry looking characters instead of this asset bash crapshoot

"Our game does not use genAI, but it does use genAI to generate content" is a fucking hell of a statement.

Awwww man, I was looking forward to that one, now I don't care.

God dammit Hoyoverse. HSR brings me so much joy; stop being horrible. I was wondering how they went from gotcha graphics to something this good overnight.

I don't see a world where you, a video game company, invest 14 billion dollars into AI and not use it in your new video game. Like... this is not an impossible leap in logic.

The preview for this game screamed AI assets.

The phrasing on it is so weird and engrish and i didnt understand what they mean

crazy taxi.............

So this one specifically was used in pre-production before the announcement in TGS 2023 so the timeframe would be the very early days of AI usage around mid 2021. They did the right thing by disclosing and by explaining when it was used. Hindsight is 20/20 basically.

5. Train Sim World 7

They thankfully updated the disclosure saying no AI-generated content will be in the final game. Still, it sucks that Sega even used it in the first place.

Hope you crumble Sega. Or learn and grow, but i find that exceedingly rare anymore.

This one really hurts

This one still kills me Why use ai, it's so unnecessary here it was just forced in without any reason or purpose Literally just because to test it or something it's ludicrous

a game that look like temu elden ring to the point it borders on plagiarism is made with AI? say it aint so

It's pretty clearly about GenAI/LLM investment: > HoYoverse detailed plans to develop an internal AI ecosystem, including GPU clusters, training systems, and application architecture, rather than relying only on external AI models.

That character is literally just a knockoff of Biboo

I'd prefer to not defend Hoyoverse, but the article does not state Nodus is using genAi. I'm not even sure what they're going to do with Ai and what not. These press releases always keep things so effing nebulous. And Genshin uses in house artists + freelancers for their Character Designs and Videos

I had the same vibes but I think it’s more a generic Unreal Engine 5 aesthetic + unfortunate editing choices for the trailer.

Well, if you read the article, it notes that the discussion was the company looking to make their own AI model not use external ones. I.e., in the future. And focused around NPC interactions. Meaning they're not using AI *yet*. So your feeling that the trailer was ai was, indeed, unfounded.

Fuck that one looked kinda interesting

Unfortunate, but at least it explains why the rhino character looks the way they do lol

Oh that one hurts

That's just straight up stealing mutant chronicles shit

If you truly believe that the developers implemented an entire GenAI friendly system for modding their game, but didn't include GenAI in the main product, I have some bottles of snake oil to sell you.

it's cheaper because its subsidized, once they actually pay the real token costs they're gonna be fucked

Disappointing I was actually looking forward to this one

Nooooooo Goddamn it I really was looking forward to it

Thats depressing about Zoopunk, its an interesting concept and looks like it couldve been fun, but alas.

Probably the least surprising one after Zoopunk

Every single korean game uses genai but in this one was incredibly obvious
