The Game Fanatics: The Game Fanatics show is back! Each Monday, head over to our YouTube channel to get your Game Fanatics fix.
This week on 33rd episode of The Game Fanatics Show, we talk about Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us PS4 Remaster, and how the studio is using it not only to give gamers a true 1080p experience, but prepare themselves to develop better PS4 exclusives.

Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5
Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Speaking on what’s coming next for Naughty Dog, which could be either their new IP or The Last Of Us Part III, Druckmann gave what he seems to feel are realities of the project he’s talking about. That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”

"I’ve really surrendered to knowing it’s going to be really hard, knowing it’s going to stress members of the team out"
As if crunch wasn't stressing them enough
That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”
Not 'is' but 'will be', kinda suggests that they haven't started yet, hope not.
Come on ND, a game PLEAAAAASSSSEEEE. Desperate this gen.
Also, just off-topic slightly but..
Does anyone think that layoffs now may well be making space for AI integration of game development, and 'crunch-time', 'unsustainable', 'big budget' are all terms been used to butter us up to receiving the news that AI integration will help and maintain the level of AAA games that were accustomed to? Perhaps the layoffs were the devs that didn't join a union quick enough and if only they had the smarts of SAG members and strike while the time is right, before its too late?! Imagine DEV's on strike at a time like this, there's already a game drought.
america is the worst for internet. i hope google fiber takes over the world so i can download my porn in 3 seconds.
What is really crazy is the forefathers who built this country never wanted it to end up the way it is now, even with how backwards they were at the time, they still knew very well how evil money could be and that it should not be everything nor control everything, hell some of them even warned us all that this would happen. That our freedom would be in jeopardy as people try to take more and more control of our lives.
I cannot stand companies like Comcast. Absolutely absurd how greedy some people can be, especially these companies who are basically running the world.. I mean for christ sakes, when you have a company that is making trillions of dollars, you would think that would be well enough to stop being greedy but apparently that is far from it.
What is even more sad is that they basically are just trying to insure their own future and not a future in general, things advance and they can't deal with it or want to change themselves, so they simply make sure that no one can advance. I mean if TV became obsolete, so be it but it's because of greedy bastards like this who can't come up with any new ideas with all the freaking money they have, that have keep holding us back instead..
Just like oil companies, electrical companies and pharmaceutical companies... It just doesn't stop. The idea that we still use gasoline to power things or that we still pay for electricity is insane.. but that is exactly what I am talking about.. Free energy was invented so many years ago it isn't even funny but of course they won't allow it because then there would be no need for those big companies old ass technology anymore..
Poor guys have to pack up the billions of dollars they have and live life without us... /s
Alright I gotta stop, this is making me livid just thinking about this stuff and how stupid society is, people just let these companies walk all over them and they are partly to blame as to why these companies continually keep taking advantage of everything we use.
What I would give to have a society that cares, like back in the day when people actually gave a shit about their future and making real changes. Not enough care in this time period to ever make a difference but I honestly don't think it matters anymore at all. It kills me to ever say such a thing but people have let it go on far too long now, to the point of no return. All you can do now is only expect it to get worse.
As an ISP, comcast itself seems to be allergic to active progress with fiber optics, or other smaller ISP's trying to grow in that area. It's like comcast's feet are made of lead, and it wants it's leadened pace to be a following example. Instead all they will eventually do is stagnant forward progress.
One immediate cost to consumers, if the deal with EA ever went through, would be an extra fee/s on top of the mirad of others. Just like how you now pay for OTA channels whether they're wanted or not.
