Sony Boss: AI is good, m'kay.

I think it's a little wild to undersell how big of a difference the Horizon Remaster from Nixxes is; its pretty much upgraded to be almost on the level of HFW, even with new mocapping down and a similar set of accessibility options.

Whether its necessary to have been made from a consumer perspective is debatable, but you're getting a far superior experience all-round. From a developer perspective, it's an important learning step for Nixxes as they become more ingrained with Decima. I wouldn't be surprised if they are being prepped to take over the Horizion MP game so that Guerilla can have their whole team focused on Horizion 3 at the soonest possible time.

That said, I don't think there's any evidence that their AI use was what we currently associate with gen ai: ai that has been taught on vast amount of data that belongs to other artists etc. Ai/ automation/ ML: as long as all of these are not stealing other's works, then I think it's fine. Automation has existed for decades, whether ppl like it or not.

As I said before, I've never up to this point read anything bad about AI regarding Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and actually have seen it was a really impressive remaster of an already great looking game.

Hence why at least up until now, I'm not really worried about it at all.

The other studios mentioned, Polyphony Digital and Naughty Dog, with GT7 the AI use has been praised and is quite honestly impressive with Sophy, and if I would doubt Naughty Dog when it comes to delivering quality, well, let's say there wouldn't be a single studio in the world I wouldn't doubt then, as IMO it is by far the peak of gaming dev alongside Rockstar North, their attention to details, for both studios, is so above anything else in the industry it's not even funny. Many games on PS5 still lack considerably in various areas compared to Uncharted 4, which is a PS4 game that is 10 years old this year.
