Re: "These Shouldn't Be The Only Games Being Made" - Keiji Inafune Critical Of Reliance On Big IPs

jojobar

it's a problem not only for games, it's even worse in film.
But I agree it's a problem.
There won't be a new star wars, harry potter, final fantasy etc if there is no chance given to new ideas and concepts.

Look at the variety and quality of SquareEnix games, for example, on Ps1 and compare it to today...
On Ps1/n64 in general the variety of games in the AAA market was insane. Now you only get the same IPs...

Long story short, give more unknown games a chance. There are dozens that are worth it.

@Max_the_German
I experienced the opposite. Many people in my surroundings (most of them are game developers) who in the beginning where big fans of AI are now going to back to manual work.
When it comes to code, most of it is not usable and needs to be adjusted which most of the time takes more time than writing the code themselfs.
With image creation it's even worse...
So far for game development AI is not worth it.

Also the Chat GPT didn't get much better in the last two years... only details got better but it's still have the same fundamental issues and those come from how LLMs work.
If you read a bit about the topic you will see it won't get much better with the systems they currently use.
