"Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator
-
Why do you want it to fail? I'm so happy that Sega is one of the companies who does games that are not mainstream boring stuff. In fact, this is something I would expect from a small indie team. Shouldn't we celebrate that and support?
Oh god I read it wrong! I thought he said the whole thing was going to be AI ack!

Ah I see, just a misunderstanding. Well then the balance of the force is restored.
-
Ok then, that was always allowed.
It's about saving the planet, I think

OMG NEW ECCO GAME
-
I knew that "No AI used" is going to become a huge selling point for many products. And I think this is just the start.
That's excellent. And as these mega corps watch consumers favor those products. Maybe, just maybe they'll fucking implode. That's just a fantasy I know.
-
Maybe the new Ecco game will be optimized well enough to not need or include DLSS and frame generation.
️If they use that stuff and it's still a 2D platformer, holy fucking shit.
DLAA then

Ok sure, but how much of the game will actually be generated by dolphins?
This will probably be just another example of HUMAN appropriation when plenty of dolphin developers are struggling to even find work in this industry. Maybe when dolphins are literally the subject matter of the game we could consider inclusivity in its development?

I'm gonna have my kid add No AI used" to his lemonade stand sign. He'll probably double his profits.
(so like $4).

I somehow read "not a single pixel will not be AI generated" at first. My brain just defaulted to that. I was confused by the replies for a minute straight.
-
Oh god this is going to be awesome to watch this crash and burn
Edit: Oh god I read it wrong, I thought it said the whole thing was going to be generated by AI
Leaving this as proof of my shame
I did that too at first lmao. With so many bad news about the opposite happening recently the brain just defaults to pessimism.

I wonder if the name Ecco has to do with John C. Lilly.
-
Annunziata has been talking about a new game for decades. I'm sceptical he'll produce a single pixel tout court.

The developer – whose credits also include Chakan: The Forever Man, Kolibri, Mr. Bones and Three Dirty Dwarves – has previously been quite vocal about his support of tech such as Web3, AI and LLMs (Large Language Models) in video games.
His LinkedIn profile states that one of his "near-term" goals is to "create an AI system to generate ergodic game content." His current company, PLAYCHEMY, lists "gamification of AI models, Stable Diffusion, LLM, and NeRF" as some of its primary areas of interest.
Save the planet with ECCO, to kill it everywhere else? It's just marketing (it's working though). Wait for the reviews instead.

Listening to marketeers do their thing. Have we not learned our lesson yet. They'll say whatever it is to sell their game.
Let them make it. Let them release it. Find out if it's something you want to buy. Buy it. "It's about saving the planet" why would anyone volunteer to carry water for them?

I mean I didn't buy into hype even when I got the gameboy pocket camera, never have and also never pre-ordered anything. except once, I realise I pre-ordered wow to get it at launch day

In the original game I’m sure you had to be a dolphin to beat the first level

The reality is software engineers will use AI or will find themselves out of work as they won't have the skills to get hired.
Customers may never know if AI is used as a tool in game creation but it will always be part of any software and development studio.
Using AI for music or design assets is totally different from using it for the code base and blanket statements don't improve the situation
