Although gamers may be waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6’s release, Rockstar Games is in a very different position now than it was in 2013.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.
They already have AI trained to do coding.......
How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.
Company A has 300 employees and lays of 200 to replace them with AI to release the same quality game.
Company B has 300 employees and keeps all 300 but instead uses AI to release a game with dramatically larger scale, scope, complexity, short dev cycle etc.
Company B would release a dramatically better product by using humans + AI and consumers would buy the better game.
I actually agree with this concept.
This is key facet. Its how the AI is used. It's actually is impressive as is and really would make an amazing addition to alot of people in their jobs, not just tech. It also has the potential for businesses to use to lay off large amounts of people, as much as they could to save money on labor. I hope too many companies don't go with the latter. But since usually companies are worried about bottom line over people...we will see some try and hopefully fail. But yeah, if its to help workers like in your company B scenario I'm totally down...Just scared Company A may be too enticing to some ceos and businesses.
Value of AI and value of humans will both be increased with human-AI complex. Each, by themselves, will not be independently better than the other. Whether AI will ever be independent from humans is the fear question of humans, ironically because of our doing. At this stage, most of the doing is because of humans, not because of AI. AI is doing exactly that by our design, until we have failed ourselves with an AI development that went awry. The biggest take is that humans have only ourselves to blame when things become wrong, and we have to decide what is the ultimate goal with AI we want to accomplish. It would take a person with high morals and high ethics to make right of AI. I would not want businessman to decide what AI should do or what capabilities it can have. AI should be in the hands of people with high moral fiber, or those operating on love, kindness, and compassion.
AI is SUPPOSED to be used as a tool, not a replacement. It's designed to do two important things artists can take advantage of immediately.
- Make the ideation/reference imaging process much quicker and easier (basically using it as a google search)
- Make mundane and time consuming tasks faster and easier so more time is spent on creation.
Unfortunately, what many have done is used it as a way to replace rather than supplement.
You can already make your own SFX with text prompts now as well, of course it will lower development cost and time
WARNING WARNING ‼️ SARCASM AHEAD
Sure Strauss and robots didn’t take jobs from car factories.
Edit:Sad thing is he believes it and unfortunately he won’t be replaced for a long time by AI
He doesn't, he's just lying. These people lay people off so they can get bonuses. If AI takes jobs, their bonus goes bigger and the workforce goes smaller.
I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.
As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick claims that the Grand Theft Auto franchise is the no. 1 entertainment property of all-time across all forms of media, and cites the recent GTA 6 reveal trailer as proof.
I mean, GTA V has pretty much stayed in the top 10 for the past 3 generations, which is absolutely nuts.
Right they removed the xbox 360 physics when they ported to ps4 then we lost various items over the years do too censorship then we lost all those cars online for a new paywall system.
But "gamers" supported it all 100% here is my $8usd a month then my ___ a month for xbox live ps plus for a game that was free to play online on the playstation 3.
To think there are still a ton of people out there that think gta 6 will not be a monetized/censored "modern" game is so dam funny.
Can not wait for the $100 gta 6 with the $10 online per month fee like its wow.
They make money yes but have tossed out alot of games over the years minecraft has had spinoffs.
Gta 5 11 years old makes over a billion each year one game.
No, it's a great series and I've enjoyed playing a few of the games but there's games i Rather play than GTA. There are movies i rather watch, or manga i Rather read, or albums i rather listen to.
"all forms of entertainment". Books, movies, games, music, sports, theater, are not jus hobbies they're entertaining. For as big as GTA is, for as many people there are that game, there are more that do not play games and most likely haven't ever heard of GTA. They can't claim to be number 1 across all forms of entertainment when there's so many forms of entertainment.
Now that they own Zynga I 100% guarantee you GTA on Switch 2 and Mobile.
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Right. I definitely see what a headlined from a website named windows central was trying to do though. It's cute little wordplay to help out the green box
Rockstar let hubris, and their own greed, tarnish all of the good will they had. They're just the shark card company now to a lot of people.
It's as simple as that.
Do they put out good games? Yes. Do people trash talk them 24/7? Yes.
Just like CDPR, you shouldn't allow yourself to create an ego when your entire business is built off of customer expectation.
The fact still milking a 2013 game porting a 2013 game to PS5 and XB S/X also isn't helping GTA 6 Rockstar are quite content milking and will continue to milk those Shark Cards.
As long as it funds Red Dead 3 let them do what they want to the GTA card shark suckers.
Yeah you say that but watch whenever it does come out it will sell millions upon millions of copies and be the fastest selling game of all time.
First they need to figure out how to handle the online for those people who dumped hundreds or even thousands of dollars into GTAO.
