Staff at Epic Games have reportedly been told that they are to use generative AI to create all art for an upcoming Disney shooter title featuring characters from Marvel and Star Wars. As reported by Bloomberg (via VGC), Epic’s developer teams were instructed to go full-on AI-first in a video call last week. The move […]

Seriously, who the actual f*ck is this Epic?! They are completely unrecognizable from the Epic Games that made the first 3 Gears of War games, let alone true original Epic MegaGames. I would say that I won't ever spend a penny on their products ever again, but I haven't even paid them money for a game since probably Gears of War 3. But they care not, cuz they don't even sell video games, they only have two real products: Unreal Engine 5, and Fortnite. Both make them a sh1tload of money. Although no one should be using crappy-@ss Unreal Engine 5. But TV/movie production studios use it now, so that's even more licensing money coming in.

Tim Sweeney went off the deep end long ago. I prefer John Carmack leaving the industry completely than Sweeney staying in the industry but turning into whatever the f*ck weird-@ss creature he is today.

Epic is a f*cking joke now, but they still get to exist and be financially successful, while poor id Software, who still makes actual real video games, and designs and optimizes engines the way it should be done, was used and abused by Bethesda then Microsoft, before being basically gutted, and all but ceasing to exist. Apparently the play with Asha Sharma is to gut and basically destroy one of the most technologically-advanced studios in the entire game industry, who shipped 3 successful games with standout technology in the past decade. Great plan there lady. Can't wait to see what you do next.

I think Epic started going downhill the moment they launched Fortnite and the Epic Game Store. It was all downhill from then on.
 
Well I mean cookie cutter game was getting cookie cutter assets anyway.
Could it flop, yes, likely not due to AI graphics.
You think madden would get worse if they use AI?
Well i mean you already playing with AI generated stuff, it is called DLSS, its just downstream.
AI content will take over, in excess too.
Its already annoying in social media videos and stuff, soon it will be unrecognizable...and the false flag is coming... An ai video will be pushed hard, some kind of atrocity, only to be revealed to be AI, this will be an intelligence operation to widely discredit independent reporting, you will see, its just logical.
 
I dunno, I wouldn't be surprised if this move was driven as much by Disney as it is Epic.

AI trained on actual Disney art (with access to legal copyrighted work) would probably create some decent results and give Disney information on how to replace their own artists, or at least produce results faster going forward.
 
Assume one who watched a few apps be vibe coded in days.. It is impressive to see. Still risky as all get out mind you!
