John Carmack has revealed what he wants to see hardware-wise in the next generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
It look like a pc, run like a pc...basically be a pc
still a legend though
EDIT
Definitely listen to him but there others out there that should be heard also. If we totally listened to pc guys we'd have very pc-like consoles, even more so than we do now. I still want consoles to be consoles, im not sure these guys primarily think about the costs. These guys definitely know about the innards though
This is the problem with wish lists. We can wish for the impossible but when it comes down to it the manufacturers have to look what is cost effective. I am interested in where they go or if the next gen will truly be revolutionary or are we going to wait another generation before major changes happen
Off topic but related to the article: Why is PS3 and Intel in bold
He wants them to be PCs?
multi-core CPU with GPU...
unified 64-bit memory space...
lots of bus bandwidth...
i think Sony and MS can design that. it's just the additional features that each may offer will be the deciding factors for the cost of materials...
I think Sony will keep the Cell in the PS4. They already bought the manufacturing plant from IBM, and they invested a couple billion dollars on it. The Developers are probably use to it by now.
