Sometimes, there are games where it can feel like a project is being hyped beyond its means. There is nothing substantial to merit the popularity, but some element has caused fanaticism. No Man’s Sky is one such game, a title that did not start to even make good on some of its most important promises until nearly two years after its launch. Now, it looks like Death Stranding is shaping up to be another.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Death Stranding is coming to streaming in the form of a new animated series.
Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima wants AI to handle "tedious task" in order to cut down on development time and cost.
Cool, as long as no one is losing their job while already rich people make more money.
I feel that this is the position of every sensible person. However, we face two prominent issues:
1. There are nefarious actors (like Microsoft) who want to prohibit AI regulation. Some US states have some regulations in place, but it's very patchwork at best.
2. Without strict quality control and human review, AI is very likely to hallucinate in embarrassing ways.
I’m all in favor for faster developed games.. that’s been the Achilles heel this gen.. taking 5+ years for development. If it can help with building vast landscapes then let it be. A win win if it doesn’t endanger the jobs of current team. They can help in other areas.
I don't doubt kojima that he has good intentions and would use AI without compromising the creative process, but you know for sure other development will say the same and have AI make the whole game for them.
Yeah and whoever he works for or whatever AI models he chooses to use will train on his data and work to replace Kojima themselves.
I can't imagine any other creator in gaming that demands the salary size of Kojima.
What I wonder about, let’s say five years from now. Will an individual be able to make a triple A title using A.I…If so what would be the need for others? I hate to say it but eventually people will loose their jobs. Because I hear no talk about the ethics of using A.I. among the big companies.
What Bubble. Stupid name for a game. Most likely a overrated game like MGS.
This is just how Kojima does it. To understand why people are hyped about these trailers and why his fans are willing to search for the smallest hints in them you need to first understand Hideo Kojima's legacy. He likes to give his dedicated fans some tidbits but he also like to use them as a red herring. When asked by Jordan Vogt-Roberts for advice how he should go about making the MGS movie Kojima said: "Do the same thing as me, betray your audience.".
Moby dick studios, P.T. as a Silent Hills announcement, The tanker mission demo in MGS 2 and the reveal that you play as Raiden for most of the game are some examples. You may not like it but his fans love it.
All of this wouldn't matter if his games wouldn't turn out to be great but looking at his track record it's absolutely absurd to compare this to the No Man's Sky situation.
From the article:
"I mean, after the 2018 Tokyo Game Show, there were news stories about Death Stranding’s release date not changing, even though the game does not have a release date. Let me repeat that. It was considered news that Kojima said the release date for the game, a game that has not yet been given a release year, let alone specific date, has not changed. That people were making a big deal over something so trivial was crazy."
The game has an internal release date: https://twitter.com/kojipro...
And Kojima has given a more vague release window to the public in saying it's coming out before the 2020 Olympics and before the date the movie Akira is set in (2019). Meaning the game release window was announced as 2018-2019 early on.
Slow news day I see.
