Shamus Young explains why everything you're getting hyped about from E3 2010 might suck.
The PlayStation 2 was the golden age of Japanese RPGs. Many great titles were released during that time, but some excellent games did not get the attention
Ben Porter from Newzoo explains that the player base has very little overlap with mainstream hits such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Ghost of Yōtei
I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.
This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol
Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.
"Players kick back at AI that is taking away from creativity. But when AI is used to power totally new types of interactive experience, then it’s a very different story"
Well Microsoft is about to blow people shoes off. AI is apparently something they have poured funds into over the last few years which has them sitting at the top of AI Olympus. It’s even a part of the military drones I think. If AI takes over, Microsoft will be ready. For better or worse.
Doubt it. While I've also thought NPC interactions could be fantastic with genAI and literally adopt unique personas, quite a few of today's gamers are Gen Z, and I don't think they're too keen on AI, especially as they're graduating into a market where entry level jobs don't exist anymore.
As a semi-elder millennial, I tend to like Gen Z because they stand on business more than my generation. Do I think they would actively boycott and push the data centers out of their towns and such? Absolutely.
Well I can’t blame them. As a Gen Xer, I prefer people being hired and AI being a limited support strut than the job replacer that it is. Work is hard to find for SEVERAL reasons in SEVERAL industries. There are less entry level jobs in every field. I feel people have argued about people from other countries taking their jobs while supporting systems that give NOBODY the job, but saves these companies money.
People make the mistake of thinking you agree with something because you bring it up. I simply said Microsoft is pouring funds into AI so they should be reasonably ahead in that aspect. I’ll always prefer the human element in totality whenever possible.
It's more of a failure of games media not understanding research than a research institution making such a sweeping statement with a limited sample size and no indication of ages, background etc. Study was conducted by a university collaborating with a developer, and, as a researcher myself, I take serious issue with academics doing research because they tend to publish from convenience samples at universities offering course credit for their participation (so really, who is this data supposed to generalize to?).
But the 90% claim is just silly.
