This week on Sessler's ...Something, Adam reflects on the news out of Gamescom 2013, and ponders the announcements by Electronic Arts, Sony, and Microsoft. How did the Xbox One and Playstation 4 fare in one of the last remaining big events before the launch? And what is that special "something" that's going to finally get us excited about these new devices?
"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.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
I thought that they, in a sort of way responded to a lot of questions being asked. Like what will you do for us Europeans because your giving the US all the goodies. Ohh you get FIFA free if you preordered :). They showed more Ryse, to tell you hey this game isn't just about qte it's about much more than that. They kissed indie developers ass with the new program ( and they should have from the beginning) They announced a new game ( fable ) they showed somewhat why the Kinect is worth your money. That's about it though
I get sad when the only Adam Sessler videos that catch fire are the "Console War" ones. He talks about so much more, one of the more eloquent minds of the industry.
Sony was talking indies... and i fell asleep... there was a lot of hype and big names being mentioned prior to the conference.. and nada. noe, to the next conference... as usual.. maybe next time, maybe next year... zzz...
