People were already saying it was an early April Fool's joke. But then there's videos like this one (which I haven't seen yet): https://youtu.be/4ZlwTtgbgVA

But it's already clear how people feel:



Yyyeeeaaahhh I'm not down with this sh1t either. Why would I want to make my video games look like an AI-generated video? Were the fake frames from Frame Gen not enough? Sheesh.

The uncanny valley and generic sameness does not appeal to my brain. I suppose the upside is this is the worst it will ever look, and it will keep getting better?

While I appreciate graphics, if the gameplay hooks me, I quickly forget about them. I certainly don't play games like FO New Vegas or Red Dead Redemption for the eye candy. But I've put 100s of hours into each.

D4mn straight. It's about the gameplay. That has to shine above all. Story, music, visuals, etc is all side sh1t, and stuff that passive entertainment like movies and shows can do. But video games are about the actual playing of the game. If the gameplay doesn't deliver, then f*ck everything else. The gameplay has to be good and compelling on its own. Everything else should serve the gameplay.
