Wake Up Dead Man is a lot closer in construction to Knives Out than Glass Onion, a microcosm of modern American politics in a tiny crucible with the trappings of mystery stories. And it is quite good.

The Blue Prince situation is a really good example of the ongoing breakdown in the games journalism editorial process, ie a properly managed Escapist would have killed the pitch immediately after the writer revealed a lack of proof in the claim
There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.
It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

it's mostly investors doing this to us, by the way. Yknow, the whole demand that assets look complete-ish at the concept stage? they don't know what a sketch is. The same thing happened to Disney with The Black Cauldron and it nearly bankrupted them. This is how bad having money erodes your brain

The thing about hubris is that no one has ever flown too close to the sun
"It’s time to face reality, AI is here to stay" - Kingdom Come: Deliverance head Daniel Vávra says Larian got a "crazy shitstorm" for doing what "absolutely everyone else is doing", and that while he's "no fan of AI generated art" it's going nowhere.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.
If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

I was wrestling with this all of yesterday based on a producers comments from July + the Larian stuff. It's all about as clear as mud and I'm exhausted.
What has become clear is that unless I'm inside a studio or someones a big dramatic proponent I won't really know one way or another and it's shit

@patstaresat.bsky.social Turns out Broche was referencing a AI tool suite on unreal engine not GenAI.

This actually pisses me off so much, as someone who is building a world and conceptulizing it and working on it day after day, the most creative thing you can do is use your FUCKING BRAIN to make stuff up and not let AI create it for you.
Highly disappointed, shame on them

"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting

I 100% have double standards in animation. When a mainstream series that's been focus-grouped to shit belabours a joke it's whatever, but when an indie show with very limited screen time burns two solid minutes doing a desperately unfunny bit the creator clearly thinks is hilarious, please, go on.

The way some video hosting sites have started storing videos in very low quality and using AI upscaling to "reconstruct" the original at the time of display in order to save space is already bad, but I'm waiting for the technology to get to the point where they can start doing that to audio, too.
