Zoraptor Posted January 29 Posted January 29 The Deus Ex game was in pre-production for two years so it was more of a decision not to proceed, at this point (since that would require extra staff and Embracer simply cannot afford them). 1
Hawke64 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Probably old news, but the new games on Steam have started to explicitly state how the generative AI was used during the development. So far, 3 of anime-style products released today have it. Examples: Quote AI GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: The illustrations in "Celebrities Hacked" start with a base render using Stable Diffusion. Our program refines the initial work to enhance quality. Graphic artists then improve and rework the renderings, maintaining our own style. We don't impersonate authors or use other stylistics, and we follow "Fair Use" criteria according to the Copyright Alliance. Quote AI GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: The sprites, CGs, and backgrounds in this game are generated using AI. Quote AI GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: Artificial intelligence in my game was used to make my sketches more expressive and beautiful, the images were checked by me for the fact that I could violate copyright and I did not find such a precedent. I suppose, it allows to make informed decisions about purchasing them, which would be harder if it was a tag that could be added to the Ignore list (granted, mine is already full). E.g., DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is ML, so the text-based disclosure seems like the best solution. 1 1
Lexx Posted January 30 Author Posted January 30 (edited) Man, I'm really not a fan of people using AI for such stuff, even if they apply their own post processing to it. This really sucks.

MrBrown Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Fate Stay Night is coming to Steam/Switch. Old, visual novel classic. If you're even a bit interested in that sort of stuff, this is worth playing. (No gameplay other than branch choosing, and you probably want to use a walkthrough anyway.)

Being able to sell this garbage that's generated off the backs of other people's work is a joke. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

True, I didn’t finish Death Stranding1 but I am very confused . The baby spitting ship made me think for a second it will be a fantastic voyage kind of a thing. Guitar thing seems very very corny. However! I do like what seems more dynamic environmental events (flood, dunes, avalanches). I found „walking simulator” of DS quite interesting and am keen to see them build on it.
Lexx Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 The baby spitting the ship is probably just some sort of metaphor again. Since it's technically the same sequence as in DS1 when you die and get reborn. I'm way more wtf about those tiny puppets, and the stupid guitar weapon. Guess we're going into the direction of Pinocchio maybe? Would also fit with the stranded whales from DS1. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
LadyCrimson Posted February 2 Posted February 2 (edited) ^ I am definitely wondering what is up with that talking puppet. Or who the young blonde lady is going to be. I'm also going to take a wild guess that Higgs will only be a secondary bad (not seen very often) or even end up as a half-good in the end. Having not played any of his other games, I was kinda figuring that guitar weapon sequence was some odd homage to some previous game, like the weird boxing MGS4 homage Higgs fight in DS1. If it's not that ... well, whatever. It's probably not all that important, just some weird cutscene shenanigans. Kinda looks like Higgs channeling Alice Cooper. The "these rooms are other crew" has me thinking the online connectivity aspect might be enhanced more. Edited February 2 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Will need to rewatch the trailer - I must say, I don’t know how I feel about Kojima, but he can always get my attention, even if just the sheer unusualness of his trailers. yeah, I was under impression Higgs is doing double cross in out favour in the trailer…. But than again I don’t know him well - I think I run into him once in my „ongoing” playthrough of DS1
Hawke64 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 (edited) https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/watch-out-prince-of-persia-theres-another-platforming-packed-metroidvania-coming-to-steal-your-crown A Metriodvania, a part of the EA Originals. The article compares it to the recent Ubisoft release. £18 instead of £50, uses Denuvo instead of Ubisoft DRM. From my experience (10 minutes), the demo runs, the controls are mostly rebindable, except the movement (several WASD presets for that, but no arrows or the numpad), the FPS drops are noticeable. I assume the latter will be solved upon the release. The story seems fine - a young shaman makes a deal with a god of death to bring his father back. Edited February 3 by Hawke64

With the weirdness of "the beach", I suppose that's possible - trailer implies Sam believes the child is deceased, but it could be some kind of bizarre rebirth/duplication. One chr. narration implied there's something off re: baby's existence/past. Maybe the baby is a new Extinction Entity. Higgs in the original game - he became weirdly sympathetic towards the end. Not in a turn-around/becomes good way, he's still deranged/psycho etc, mind. More in the "he was a sad puppet". Edit: not that I know the lore overmuch. My eyes kind of glaze over when trying to watch hours of cutscenes in a game and that last few hours/end of the game in particular. I mostly paid attention to Mad's story arc. But it was all on the "so bizarre it's kinda interesting" side so I remember some stuff, heh. Edited February 4 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.
