Oof I think that's a not idea to do because it screams imo less passion in development but hey that's my view.

EvertonFC104d ago

I think AI will be a great work horse making games ie; helping with code and bugs etc but I think and hope the story and animations, art is still humans.
I think using AI correctly could reduce gaming development of a 5 year AAA 1st Party game down to 3 years maybe.

solideagle104d ago

using AI to generate code is fine, as I use it to write trivial programs in web development. if they use AI to do everything then it will be a problem...I think Publishers will need to make a review team to see if the whole thing is auto-generated by AI etc or not.

Unknown_Gamer5794104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

Since when has MS been passionate about game development? Either way, I do not like that they own so many IPs now, even if they do go third party.

XiNatsuDragnel104d ago

Monopolization and homogeneousity this type of stuff makes harder to come into the industry and make big waves ngl.

Microsoft encouraging programmers losing their jobs to the soulless machine.

CantThinkOfAUsername104d ago

Programming is no longer about writing code. It's about delivering a useful software as a service.

Vengeance1138104d ago

Errrrrr... no. Go try telling that to an actual programmer lol You'll get laughed out of the room.

Christopher104d ago

How the heck are you going to deliver software as a service without the software? How?

You essentially just said "Game Pass isn't about developing games, it's about delivering a useful game subscription service."

ApocalypseShadow104d ago

They're all going to use it in the coming years. To what extent where it eliminates jobs is the question.

I'm not scared of AI or robots. How they are implemented in our society to make things more efficient or better is what's the big deal. And who controls them behind the scenes to influence others. Or built to cause chaos, ruin and death. Because we know there are those that will build AI or robots to do that as well.

But I want to see the positive things that come from using AI to build limitless worlds and stories when it comes to games and VR. Anyone that watches Star Trek can see the Holodeck and the AI that controls it can be for good as an educational tool and entertainment. Or, it can also cause harm or even kill you. But it's how it's used that determines what happens.

But even in Star Trek, they still love the live performance of music, written word, theater plays and art done by human beings.

Abriael104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

Using AI to build stories is not using it for good. Stories should be built by developers.

We should not forget that generative AI is pretty literally theft (it plagiarizes human work on a massive scale and just remixes it to make it unrecognizable), and there is no such thing as "ethical" theft.

ApocalypseShadow103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

People build upon someone else's work all the time. If you believe that there's something new under the sun done by someone, you might have to think on that again. Very, very rarely do you see anything new.

Stories are changed around, plot twists that happen in the middle or the end of a story, bad guy turns good in the end, good guy turns bad. It's all been done. But changed again and again by humans that is no different than AI doing it. It just does it faster than humans.

No one wants to see others lose jobs. Including myself. But that's life. We've seen it again and again where humans or animals are replaced by automation or software. And it's going to continue to happen if you like it or not. My job might get replaced. Your writing for a website might get replaced. There's nothing new here.

You also have to assume that everyone is working hard or deserves a job. Some individuals don't work well with others. Some steal. Some are lazy when the boss isn't looking and others have to pick up the slack. Some are industrial spies. Some overwork their employees. Some employees harass other employees. Etc etc. To assume everyone working is good would be naive. There are also those that complain about others taking their supposed "jobs" but in reality, some of these individuals who complain would never do those jobs and think they deserve better or better pay. But complain anyway.

You have to see both sides of it. Just as I have seen that there's good that can be done with AI. Just as there are bad things that can be done with AI.

And, I wasn't the one who disagreed by the way.

Abriael103d ago

There's a massive difference between "building upon someone else's work" via inspiration and literally plagiarizing.

Generative AI literally uses people's work in its training without permission, and just remixes it, so it's a literal content theft.

I'm not even gonna go into the honestly weird rant about people deserving a job.

There are no "both sides." Generative AI is theft and should never be supported.

gold_drake104d ago

its more a ploy that programmers lose their jobs

Barlos104d ago

AI will kill creativity. No thanks

Is there even one good game created in the Turkey so far?

PitbullMonster15h ago

Metin 1&2 and the Mount and Blade Series are the most known ones.

Metin ....how dare you name that in the same sentence with the word "good"

Crytek says hi.. learn before posting

Zeke6811h ago

"Crytek was founded by the Turkish-German brothers Cevat, Avni and Faruk Yerli in September 1999 in Coburg, Germany."

So he's right, Crysis games are not made IN Turkey... ;)

Terry_B7h ago

Just as Zeke mentioned..Crytek is a German developer, created by a turkish guy who lives there, was probably born there.

What I meant are games completely made in the country

MrNinosan3h ago

What is turkish mythology? They don't have a mythology of their own. Unless we are going to rewrite history? Can someone fill us in on what mythology turkey has.

Eonjay5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

It could mean folklore, proverb, or even fairytale like Jack and the magic beanstalk. It could even just be lore about historical figures like you even see in American culture like Jonny Appleseed (a real person whose life story was mythologized).

S2Killinit4h ago

I see. I was thinking in terms of actual deities. But that makes sense.

purple1012h ago

You know that thing called google. (Or DuckDuckGo, depending on preference 😏)

Have a go at it sometime. It’s good

Time for a change. Football games haven't evolved much.

Cacabunga1d 14h ago

It’s tough when there is no competition

Abear211d 8h ago

There’s PES and now we’ll have FC25 and FIFA so yes, but it is no longer true, shit is about to get real!

Now if we only had two viable options for Basketball and American football we’d be on to something.

MrNinosan1d 3h ago

@Abear21
PES didn't exist since 2020, and the rebranded eFootball is crap.

porkChop1d ago

If what we've heard is true, the reason FIFA games don't change is literally because of FIFA itself rejecting nearly every pitch for new features and mechanics.

Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.

Sorry George Miller, but you’re wrong about the Mad Max game

George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.

Mad Max is a good game... George Miller should STFU.

Old_Scout1d 6h ago

He didn't say it wasn't good. Maybe you should take your own advice and look past the articles misleading headline. Here's the actual quote. “wasn’t as good as we wanted it to, it wasn’t in our hands.” That is all he said about it.

S2Killinit1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

In my opinion the guy himself Is pretty mediocre, so I dont like how he talks as if he’s something special. I dont think he would know a good game if it hit him in the face.

StormSnooper1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

If George Miller had good taste he wouldn’t be wearing those ridiculous glasses.

-Foxtrot2d ago

I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.

Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.

Wretchedstain1d 21h ago

Article is correct in my opinion, Miller is wrong. That Death Stranding II trailer is bonkers, looking forward to that in itself.

And I agree, unless Mr Kojima wants to change his tune, or laughably, be told what to do, you're right, it wouldn't be Mad Max or close.

porkChop1d 20h ago

Yup, Kojima really doesn't suit Mad Max. Avalanche did a great job though. It looked, felt, and played like what I'd expect from a Mad Max game. I really enjoyed my time with it, and the sand storms were handled incredibly well.

jznrpg1d 4h ago

I think Kojima could definitely make a great Mad Max game.

SubtilizZer1d 1h ago

I disagree… I don’t want to see Kojima do Mad Max or whatever… But I disagree with your take. Kojima is first a huge fan of film. I think saying he wouldn’t be able to stick to the lore of the world that was built is kinda crazy.

I’m sure he would be able to stick to the creative confines of the source material fairly well. Chances are he’s a huge fan.

I’m sure he’s a bit of a”buzzword” sure but I’m willing to bet it’s mutual respect for his work as well.

TheGamingHounds1d 20h ago

I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure

maelstromb1d 19h ago (Edited 1d 19h ago )

MM is not a perfect game by any means as it was held back by lots of repetitious, standard open-world copy and paste missions, but the devs SO perfectly captured the world, atmosphere, lore and brutality. It also just so happens to boast one of THE best photo modes out there and some of the most impressive explosions I've ever seen in a game to date. The car combat is of course another impressive standout, both vicious and fun. MM is a game which I have revisited multiple times since its release, and now having just seen Furiosa, I can feel it calling me back again.

There's a ton to love there, but I think you'll pickup on the areas where the devs struggled likely due to reigning in the scope, budget and time constraints, leading to an incredibly fun, albeit uneven experience. Though, as mentioned, it's absolutely a game worth experiencing once, and I truly hope you enjoy it. The game really does deserve a sequel.

victorMaje1d 18h ago

Word for word. Exactly this. A lot of fun to be had in there. A true Mad Max game. Sequel can’t come soon enough.

gigoran81d 9h ago

and the fact that they originally had an American voice actor until everyone kicked up a big stink about it?

maelstromb1d 19h ago

Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.

jznrpg1d 4h ago

Bend does makes sense. But I’d rather they made Days Gone 2 (no multiplayer of course) as I really like the motorcycle and the hordes of zombies was a lot of fun.

VersusDMC1d 19h ago

While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.

-Foxtrot1d 14h ago

I think the issue is the studio was told by higher ups and most likely himself to make something linear yet when they got a first look at it they didn’t like it and wanted something open world

The head guy was basically like “you’ve just hired an open world dev and forced them to do a linear game yet now you want open world which has just wasted a year of development which we could have done from the start”

I think that’s why people are p****** because of the context the lead dev at Avalanche has given us.
