Delelopers! If you are going to release these types of games on 360, The people who will play them own a Kinect and are waiting to spend the money on your products.

In short: If you do not have Kinect support for casual games, cancel the 360 version. No one will buy it!!!

SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader In Fortnite

SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader in Fortnite claiming this was done without notification and has filed accordingly.

spoonard1d 19h ago (Edited 1d 19h ago )

It's just a complaint, not a lawsuit, and it's completely unwarranted.

Garethvk1d 19h ago

I said filed which they did. Filed a complaint.

VersusDMC1d 17h ago

James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it.

So i don't know why SAG is getting involved as it makes it seem like they are going against james earl jones wishes or just wanted a cut...

Garethvk1d 16h ago

They are concerned about A.I. replacing live talent. It's an unusual stance as you are correct; he left his voice and his family approved. The union is saying doing this versus using a live actor sets a bad precedent going forward. The use of A.I. has been a huge issue in the recent labor deals.

VersusDMC1d 13h ago

Well this is also an interactive AI Darth Vader that would have made live talent impossible unless they think a actor being in Fortnight 24/7 is an acceptable solution.

They should concentrate on cases that are possible to be done with live talent and that haven't been given blessing or sold by the original actor(for which they should have the right to sell)

"James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it."

I have to say if James approved this after his death... that would be... um...

Do you mean he approved it while he was alive for when he passed?

VersusDMC1d 8h ago

It's reported that he gave permission before his death and his estate(which i asume is his family) says so as well.

spoonard1d 2h ago

Because SAG-AFTRA are trade unions. They are the Hollywood mafia protecting their profits from anything they feel could undermine them. It's all about the almighty dollar, not artists.

Christopher11h ago

James Earl Jones doesn't own the character, though. He essentially said the owners of the IP can use his voice however they wish, not everyone.

I'm not so sure they can, most talent that made the old games as good as they were, has left Bioware.

RaidenBlack2d ago

They can always recruit old fellas,
And also, new devs can always learn and also new indie devs are very passionate evident from the amazing indie games heavy with these gameplay features.

Michiel19892d ago

I don't think anyone would wanna come back after the stories that were told from Anthem development. I just don't see it happening. It's a bit similar to blizz, some of the talent has come back there, but there has been a shift in the studio's culture and also what the higher ups expect/demand of them

After andromeda and veilguard i think it’s assured that the bioware we once knew has gone, I have little hope for me4. Hopefully i’m wrong.

anast2d ago

The can't. But they wouldn't even if they could.

goken2d ago

Yeah… also if pigs decided evolve wings, they could fly…

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese5d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde5d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast5d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake5d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow14d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.
