Naughty Dog Boss Neil Druckmann Says AI Will 'Revolutionize' Development

Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'

I’m more interested in what else he said.

“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’

[H9]

It will be something like "we erased gameplay all together it's just a movie now"

[purple101]

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'

from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4

and now we will see what they do with ps5,

[H9]

Press X for doubt at "PS5"

[-Foxtrot]

Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me

You know what I find interesting? Almost every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.

It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.

Just because someone says this type of stuff, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to be good news.

You can say this about microtransactions. MXTs revolutionised the gaming industry.

[anast]

this is not good

[Levii_92]

Geez how full of themselves are these guys.

[Einhander1972]

He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.

[CrimsonWing69]

I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.

[Chard]

Enjoy your slop

[CrimsonWing69]

And there isn’t slop now?

[Chard]

Things will get far sloppier brother

[Barlos]

Nope. AI will stifle actual creativity and put people out of work.

[VIK2121]

AI is a tool like any other, learn to work with it or be left behind.

This is the same deal when micro computers came to existence, those who learned to harness got way ahead.

The AI we have right now is a watershed moment in history, it is critical for professional to adopt it and work with it, otherwise your resume will become obsolete pronto.

Don't fight change, adopt and embrace, otherwise you become the old man screaming at the clouds...

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Ideally AI should be a force/productivity multiplier for developers, but we know this isn't how it'll be used, it'll be abused to rush games out faster with smaller teams. Ideally, it should give us better, bigger, more complete games, but that won't be what we'll get out of AI.

Somehow, I feel they'll use the AI to make even worse characters/stories, we already have people suspecting Disney started using AI to write their movies.

[VIK2121]

Basically people who are useless will just be replaced, work with AI, it is a watershed moment in technological history, it is here to stay and it will evolve, learn and adapt, the human brain is more powerful than any super computer on earth right now. AI is a tool like any other, use it or get left behind like an old man screaming at the clouds...
