Seriously… of all of the human-generated art in the last several centuries that features a person, about 90% of the time, it’s a young, white woman. There are artists, past and present, who only draw women.
To most of us, this is probably just a summary of events over the past year or so. But, it’s good to know that this sort of news is reaching non-gaming channels.
Konami, if Silent Hill f isnt good, you better bury Silent Hill forever. Bring back Hybrid Heaven, you’ll probably have better success with that.
Strange that you believe Konami actually gave a shit after they fired Kojima and turned their primary attention to pachinko machines, so that Silent Hill fans can “HIT THE LEVER!”
On Tuesday, Microsoft Research Asia unveiled VASA-1, an AI model that can create a synchronized animated video of a person talking or singing from a single photo and an existing audio track. In the future, it could power virtual avatars that render locally and don’t require video feeds—or allow anyone with similar tools to...
No. No, they can’t. This shit still takes lots and lots of training data.
It’s just like any job. You can’t just fully fake something in one day. At best, you might get 60% of the way there, maybe 80% after adding on some generic experience. But, you’re not going to fully mimic anything without lots of training and experience.
They did trade-off good, impactful stories for tight, action-packed gameplay. Neither Pyre’s nor Hades’ core stories have been that interesting, despite the excellent voice acting, music, and gameplay.
The fact that they are doing a sequel to Hades immediately suggests that the trend is going to continue, because that’s where the money’s at. It’s a rather risk-adverse decision.
I would disagree with the choice of words here, yes their stories are often not super deep or intricate, but I do believe they are extremely interesting, specifically because they are presented in such an appealing way.
I’m not talking about Supergiant as a whole. Bastion and Transistor had great stories. It’s just that, afterwards, they started to lose their ability to tell an impactful story, and dived head-first into worldbuilding (especially Pyre) and character development. Those sort of things are good to have, but not as the main focus of the story.
In Bastion and Transistor, worlds were falling apart. In Hades, some dude was pissy about his father and figured out who his real mother. <Insert Star Wars “family” meme here>
An online service is scraping Discord servers en masse, archiving and tracking users’ messages and activity across servers including what voice channels they join, and then selling access to that data for as little as $5.

The promise copyright holders were supposed to uphold was that the public received it as public domain when the copyright ended. How the fuck can you receive anything as public domain when the media is completely lost after only 10% of the duration of the copyright?
This is just another obvious sign that the whole copyright system is completely broken. If copyright holders won’t retain the media long enough for the copyright to expire, and hold up their end of the bargain, then we have no obligation to uphold their copyright.
