Halo 343 Studios: Here's 6 hours of Halo Ring start menu we probably spent 1.2 million making... Random X User: I think AI is better (prompts, 30 seconds later). Internet: Explodes. I'm sorry, but 343 got mogged judging by the reactions. You can nit at the AI video, but imagine if they spent a week polishing it rather than 5 minutes. This is a combination of 343 just not being good enough to deserve Halo and AI getting better every day. The comments are completely predictable. Every artist is defending the 343 version, not because they really thought about it, but because the perceive AI as a threat that must be taken out at all costs. Meanwhile non-artists see a lot of merit to the AI version and the potential. I see the issues with the AI version, but I bet you a few more days on the AI version, perhaps generating 3D assets with it, would end up being the clear winner. See reply for the complete meltdown thread of reactions. (and for those who haven't heard me before, yes, that's my voice)

Ah crap. Just when I was getting hyped for Forza. They couldn't stop at 2, they had to add 3 Body Types. And the female "type" is barely indistinguishable from the male. It's a goal: Total erasure of biology to support radical ideologies.

Do you remember the feeling? It was magical, even for us devs. That sound of the bowstring, the colors. We knew we had something special. We all played the game as it launched, which is rarer than you think for game devs. It's another sign that you did it.

Stormwind was the first city we ever built. Our lead programmer had it load and play the song "We built this city" to our surprise when we first loaded in. The first version of Stormwind had no districts or canals. The framerate was below terrible. Then I thought of Venice. I grabbed a map of the city and slapped it down on the table the next morning. THIS, I said, is how we'll partition the city, drawing only the district you can see, separated by canals. It worked, and Stormwind was born.

Nausicaa had a deep influence on so many. What a vivid world. - 1984 film directed by Miyazaki and based on his manga. - He started the manga for the express purpose of getting interest in a movie. - This was actually not a Ghibli film. Ghibli was founded after this. - 263 colors were huge, a huge number at the time. - There is a real life version of the Mehve glider, project OpenSky, and it works. Don't watch the 1985 US version, which was butchered and called "Warriors of the Wind"

The situation with Black Myth: Wukong is disgusting. They cite IGN and consulting companies such as SBI as part of a shakedown racket of 7 MILLION in fees. Here's how it all works, as SBI Founder Kim Belair explains: "If they don't see the value of what you're asking for, for when you ask for consultants...and just terrify them with the possibility of what's going to happen if they don't give you what you want." Here is the whole web of people who support each other and make this shakedown happen: Sweet Baby Inc. - "Hire us or else." Reporters - Support the racket by writing hit piece articles, and run defense for the consulting companies. Play down the racket as a conspiracy theory. Alyssa Mercante - Writes hit piece on @kabrutusrambo for exposing Sweet Baby's long list of ruined games. Rebekah Valentine - Defends Alyssa and writes hit piece article on Wukong, leading to the shakedown. Jason Schreier - Gaslights you when it is all exposed, saying it's a "Hallucination" and isn't happening. It sure seems like its all part of a multi-million dollar racket. In fact, DEI and DEI consulting is a HUGE industry (see my post about the Activision Blizzard report). They call us Grifters but they are the ones making bank. Wukong directly cites the IGN hit piece article by Rebekah Valentine, as well as companies similar to Sweet Baby Inc, as being behind the 7 Million dollar extortion attempt.

Yeah, it was like that... We had a problem with the Undead in China. Showing bones through skin was considered too graphic for their laws, so we had to cover them up. This was the biggest and most complex project ever at Blizzard, and we did it with just 60 people.

David Jaffe, Creator of God of War, reacts to the reveal of GOW: Laufey. "That looks like shit...reminds me of Forspoken" "So uninsipired, so dull." "It's dead. That game is not going to do well." David is gonna get a lot of crap for this, so props for him calling it. But he's gonna get a call. And a lot of pressure from his "just consume the female protagonist" audience and circle of friends. I'm really curious what he says about it again in a couple of days.

Unreal Engine 5.8 has AI integration with Claude and Codex. Runs in terminal beside the engine, connected via MCP to fully control the Editor. Place props, generate cities procedurally, and even art direct the lighting. Unreal Engine 5.8 available today. Pretty much any Unreal game from now on is gonna need an AI label.

"It's outrageous. These insulated, generally white liberals who live in gate communities...they never have to see it."

At the State of Unreal today, Tim says AAA is failing, spending 100's of millions and getting only 10's in return. He gives his theories: - Games are social now. "creating a massive advantage for big games and big ecosystems, um, because game with a lot of players is much more likely to contain a lot of your friends. " - Game economy shifting to in-game purchases. "whether you're a fan of this or not, the arithmetic of it is undeniable. " His whole argument is that platforms like Roblox and Fornite are the future: Huge locked in gamer demographics, playing content within these games and buying things in these games. But he contrasts Epic's strategy vs Roblox. Instead of one gatekeeper, Epic wants to "change the way we build things. We're going to need to build better games, we're gonna need to build them more efficiently, and we're gonna need to design up front and build for connected games, where all of our player bases are connected socially and our economies are connected, so that players, instead of seeing these as isolated products, see them as part of, you know, a, a global ecosystem that all game developers participate in together. " To this end, Epic has open sourced Meta-Humans and Lore, their new revision control system. It's clear he want to create a network of games, all linked together, sharing content via Epic tools and technologies (but allowing for other engines).
