Its so simple, Peter Parker would never quit, with all that power comes great responsability, simple as that, he will not retire, he is a tool of doing the right thing, that is above him.
I dont know how long the Taylor Swift movie is but to be fair there is a reason theaters arent big fans of long ass movies, you show them a lot less times. But yeah, hard to match the fanbase Taylor Swift has these days.
@illegal_peanut: People are just having a very cynical reaction, something that does kinda make sense in the sad reality of things, also calling it "revolution" does seem like a weird choice of words considering the push Microsoft did with their own controller a long time ago.
WIth that said, certainly good news and lets hope others follow these steps, like Nintendo or even other peripheral companies.
Also, it would certainly not be an easy task to make gaming as accessible as music, film or books. Damn, even for people without disabilities it can be hard to get into how complex the inputs can be. You need to take into account all the accessibility you apply to movies, music and books and on top of that work on the input system and how it interacts with the design of the games, where games themselves have adapt their mechanics as well (hold button instead of tap, for example). Its some hard stuff but it's becoming more standard, big budgeted games certainly should have it as a requirement.
Im appalled by why have James Corden, certainly there would be another celebrety with host capabilities more suited for a game related... whatever this is.
Anyways, for everyone skeptical about what AI can do to gaming (outside of being part of the workflow of game development) there are already some examples that while not being ready to be used properly yet they can give an idea of how they could be used in the future.
AI Lara Croft plays the first Tomb Raider, at the end of the video its the AI playing the game as if it was actually the main character.
"These CEOs are top of their field. They can go to any number of companies whenever they please. No one will stay if they can just go work at any other tech company and rake in the cash."
I think the point should be that as a CEO that is doing a good job you will make your company thrive, with that you can get the big pay at the end of the month, you wouldnt jump to another company if your company can have such a promising future, a company like Epic clearly has that promising future. If the company is failing its mostly because of previous decisions of the guys a the top, not saying that all are easy to do, of course its a hard job with a lot of risk but fucking hell, the amount of money these guys do no matter what, either winning or failing is quite a shitshow when failing means getting a ton of people out of their job even if just following orders.
Satoru Iwata cut 50% of his salary for 5 months when the Wii U failed, then after that Nintendo got a major success with the Switch, no need to send people home if you believe the company can still pull it off after a failure.
Lacks a lot of identity, the visuals remind me of Horizon with the mix of tribal and "old" technology.
Then at the end of the day, yeah, its guns that shoot from the hand with particle effects... outside of that it doesnt seem to be all that new to the standard of a shooter. I guess the colors to deal damage? Even then...
It suprised me how AAA this seemed with such a first draft sort of concept.
Lets not forget how the higher ups at Unity have sold a huge amount of stock days before announcing this. Clearly they knew it wouldnt be well received and tried to pull some extra money through the situation.
Now what is expected since their stocks are dropping is for them to buy them back at a cheap price, backtrack on this plan to some extent (not all, they will still try to get a win-win situation) and get the stock to climb up again.
Its insider trading and its illegal, but hey, it only applies to some people ;)
There is a certain issue with this as it seems she is expecting to have more devs to handle tasks they are not well prepared, something that is already a huge issue since companies have such a high turn over rate and more experienced devs simply leave the industry.
A big reason why certain IPs fall so much from grace since no one that started is at the company anymore, or game engines that have poor support since the original devs are no longer there (Frostbite for example)
Quality devs should be more valued instead of planning on using these crutches, no wonder games run so poorly and most of the times lack features from older games, while at the same time the core of it is doing the same standard gameplay we have already experienced so many times.
What I actually wanna see with AI is have it being the AI bots in a game, there are already some examples of how impressive it can be and how much it can change the shape of what a game can be (not all games should use it since otherwise its just trading a standard for another, but would be nice to tap into that potential).
