I actually already bought one for my new PC, but while the PC outclasses my PS5, I don’t know how well a Bazzite/AMD build is going to handle the PSVR2 hardware, let alone run stuff like RE4R/7/8 with VR mods when I can just play (some of) them on the the PS5 already.
Deck was my Trojan Horse. I actually bought it as a remote play accessory for my PS5 that could also let me emulate retro content and enjoy some older PC games that never came to PS.
Instead, my Steam library ballooned and I ended up repurchasing games I already owned on PS just because they were dirt cheap and ran fine natively on the handheld.
Last month, I came across an opportunity to buy a Steam Machine and discovered that there was enough of an additional mark up in my region that I could spend the same amount of money and build what is essentially a supercharged PS5 Pro. So I took that route and now I’m just waiting on the CPU, and whether or not Amazon upholds a miracle bargain on some RAM I found on their store. (I expect the seller to cancel when the time comes to ship it.)
My PS5 will henceforth be relegated to exclusives only and PSVR2 labor.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the anti-AI crowd has every right to be as rabid as they wish. AI proliferation has been an immense boon to a few who work in some hardware and software fields, while causing an immeasurable amount of collateral damage elsewhere. The cost-to-benefit is extremely disproportionate depending on who you are, where you live, what you do, etc.
Regardless, this is a free market. If people don’t want to buy games with AI in them, it does not make them “rabid”.
If you choose to utilize AI to help you construct your product, expect people to have feelings about it and budget for it. That’s it. It’s a small ask against the millions of other people who have been forced to completely reassess how things are done in their respective fields in order to account for rapid AI disruption and interference.
Still seems like a cop-out.
If they had intended to do it manually in the first place, I don’t see why they couldn’t just use AI to help generate a number of rough outlines to help conceptualize a solid template that satisfied their needs before investing their time into it.
There was enough slop out there in the gaming world before AI stole center stage. And yet there are so many games getting released every day that it’s genuinely difficult for new developers to get noticed. Tried+true studios are hitting diminishing returns. Gamers have a cornucopia of options old and new, and can afford to say no in this market much more easily than in most other markets.
Fucking peoples lives over for leaking what is essentially advertising is an insane timeline to be living in. In a proper world, Take-two would get laughed out of court and Microsoft /Discord would be under investigation for spying on its users.
I’d schedule dates with both prospective partners to see who I’m more compatible with moving forward.
How much we did/didn’t like each other before we agreed to go on a date is absurdly irrelevant and a very childish kind of mindset to have when dating.
How else are they going to pay for server upkeep to store everything it hears?
Oh holy hell you’re right. I tapped the wrong link and just ended up on a page with a summary not the actual article. I’m becoming an old man. :(
What are the specific accusations? What “disregard for human life” are they talking about? Jobs and financial livelihood? Data center construction? Governments using AI for military practices? Who’s actually died?
I mean, I dislike AI as much as anyone else, but I don’t understand how this will stick in court. Are they just throwing everything at it to see what sticks? If it all gets ruled down, I can’t imagine that being a good thing.
5 year plan. It’ll happen under a democrat president and the right will be screaming bloody murder that their right to misinform free speech is being encroached, and build a their political platform on it.
We’ll be the ones eating the pets.
