Larian Studios CEO Doesn't See GenAI Replacing Devs; Wants To Use It For NPC Dialogue

Larian Studios' CEO Swen Vincke recently appeared in an interview and clarified that he does not see GenAI as a replacement for developers.

If you're hiring less writers to write the dialogue that AI writes instead...isn't that replacing writers?

bartfart59d ago

Exactly he doesn't see it replacing devs... Immediately mentions replacing writers hahaha

It also means the same amount of writers can now produce more dialogues with the same amount of budgets, game development doesn't have infinite budget, AI when used correctly, can help generate some dialogues, and then still need writers to have another pass through to make sure those make sense in the game world.

Not really, its a different role. Now you're scripting ai on how they should respond, keywords, language, etc

If anything, you'll need to be a good script writer to direct ai npcs.

Its a new field for them!

They'll out outsource that job.

This is the thing. First AI will be used to get rid of all the low level repetitive task and as it evolves it will be used to get rid of more people.

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

That's for people who said that Ninja Theory would not get closed because they are working on a new game

Well Microsoft have to plug the holes somehow to appease their investors 🤷🏿

Tango was part of Bethesda, that was their call. Ninja is their own thing, and MS lets them do their own thing. MS may own Bethesda, but they let them make their own decisions.

porkChop2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

That is technically true. I do think Xbox can still come in and make those kinds of decisions if they want to though, but it's true that Bethesda has been running themselves. That's how we ended up with Redfall in the first place.

I wouldn't let Xbox off the hook though because they obviously would have known that Bethesda were shutting them down and let them do it. Xbox could have just moved Tango directly under Xbox Game Studios instead.

darthv722h ago

We can only assume as much since we dont fully know the conditions of their partnership. It may be that Bethesda agreed to the merger under the conditions that they still be allowed some autonomy like making decisions for game releases and studio management. Again, that's just a guess but when i see people try and convey that Ninja Theory is in the same boat as Tango... this is what comes to mind. NT is their own entity, under direct management of MS. Tango was not.
