Good day my good ol'gamers here at N4G.
Today I went to my local fankid ridden Gamestop down here in San Diego Cali .to put down some money on my MGS4. To my Glee, when i asked if they have any information on whether the LE MGS4 will be making it state side they said Yes, even though we kinda already new, but i was a bit uncertain. I was more enthused because as i was contemplating how much is was going to put down on MGS4, the clerk took out a sheet of paper and began reading some info to me about the incoming beta and DVD i will be getting as a bonus for pre ordering it today. which came a bit of a shock because i didn't figure that they'd have been udated about it untill early April, late March. Especially because i've read from a few gamers here that when they went to pre order they were greeted with no such info, and when they asked the clerk hadn't been informed. So i was a bit skeptical.
They said to me that the dvd and MGS:O coded will arive locally in san diego store or at least Gamestop and EB Games March 15th and that a phone call will go out for all those who pre ordered will let them know that the DVD with MGS:O beta access code will be there for Pick up.
So i can safely say that my California Gamers here on N4G, if you haven't already put money down on MGS4 in lite of this start hitting up your local major game and electronic retailers, they should all tell you the same thing.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson said generative AI will allow bigger, more immersive worlds, and the developers were very eager for it.
If you want a tool to reduce the time it takes to make a product, AI is a tool to do that. If you want a tool to just make content for you, AI is a poor crutch for good writing and storytelling.
I don't disagree. However, good writing and storytelling in games are still pretty rare. Honestly, AI as it is right now could probably produce output similar to, if not better than, your average experience. Especially because the main issue I see being thrown around for its use is the generation of ludonarrative problems. But, we have literal GotY winners that are incarnations of ludonarrative problems and written by humans. So if specialists don't care, would the average player even notice?
That said, from the perspective of improving the craft, AI will undoubtedly do more harm than good if used for that.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying what we're getting out there right now is overall great from everyone. There are obviously a lot of bad writers out there. The problem is AI learning from bad writers. No thanks!
Time for AI to replace CEOS. That way, when it fails, as it inevitably will, there's no one to tell. The employees can continue to make games, get raises (no CEO bonuses), and there will no longer be bone headed decisions by id10Ts.
Think how much easier it will be to fire an AI CEO than a real one! We've sacked Ocrulos AI CEO and will be replacing him with Kensho Technologies v3 CEO.
Honestly, that's the funny thing I find about AI. Is that it's the management and higher up positions that are the most perfectly replaceable positions with AI vs people at ground level.

The ratings still aren’t nearly where they were before but it’s making progress.
omg, who in Sony camp decided to do this should no longer have a job. They almost ruin a really good game sales.
when i went to eb games to pre order my copy of mgs4 the clerk told me that if i pre order it, a demo will be sent out in a week prior to the pre order. he said it is a demo beta. i think hes full of ish but time will tell.
