Microsoft banned AI because it cost too much. The AI was supposed to replace the engineers. The engineers are still there. The AI is gone.

I think the ending of Season 5 of The Boys was great. I dont know why people are just hating so much. Every piece of media is flawed but the ending fits perfectly with the show.

Ken Levine, le créateur de BioShock, vient de dire tout haut ce que beaucoup pensent tout bas. « Regardez la Switch 2 et les nouvelles machines qui arrivent. Ce ne sont pas des bonds technologiques énormes… et ce n’était pas le but. On commence enfin à admettre qu’on a atteint un point de saturation sur les graphismes. » Il explique que le photoréalisme coûte très cher, vieillit mal, et que BioShock reste encore magnifique aujourd’hui justement parce qu’il misait sur un style artistique fort plutôt que sur le réalisme à tout prix. Le message est limpide : on n’a plus besoin de toujours chercher plus de puissance brute. Un bon directeur artistique et une direction visuelle assumée valent souvent mieux que des millions de polygones en plus. Enfin un grand nom de l’industrie qui ose le dire ! Et vous, vous préférez quoi ? Des graphismes ultra-réalistes qui poussent les consoles dans leurs retranchements… ou des univers stylisés qui restent beaux pendant des années ? #BioShock #Switch2 #JeuVidéo #KenLevine

@Plun_Yu Would’ve been fucking sick tbh

@Jacob_Hansen_x @TheRooster ohhhhh okay sick sick!

@_TheRonin @TheRooster They actually recorded 3D blendshaps, then projected an animated/video texture onto the the animating mesh. Hence, why the texture data on the faces was so incredibly noisy. It had to be heavily compressed to fit onto DVD.

Characters look real, because they are. ❌ 3D modeling ✅ Filming This indie dev: - recorded professional actors - color graded the raw videos - imported them into the engine - sliced them into separate animations 100% Full Motion Video (FMV) I reached out to the dev, and he gave me some behind-the-scenes footage you can see below. Such a smart way to get photorealistic graphics without melting your GPU. Basically a modern version of the trick that was used in the classic Mortal Kombat. I think we'll see this tech in more indie games soon.

Always fun watching people figure this out for the first time lmao One of my favorite boss fights disguised as a tutorial

This is because Gen AI is driving up the prices for RAM and memory. So don’t blame Nintendo. Blame ChatGPT, Grok, and all the AI Bros that endorse these disgusting companies.

@Genki_JPN I have mixed feelings on these new designs, I dont necessarily dislike them tho

Star Fox new character renders!

@Dexerto Hmmmm i dont believe it til i see it, i saw that nintendo is trying to spread misinfo because of leaks. But who knows?

@ZikadaPrime some of them aren’t 😭

How come every Nintendo fan is so happy?

Reggie Fils-Aimé says an Amazon Executive asked for something illegal of Nintendo, so they stopped working together for a time: “At that time, you know, just in the Americas, I was selling ten million DS’ a year, we’re driving a lot of revenue. We had a lot of scale. And, at the time, Amazon was looking to get bigger into the video game space. Amazon’s mentality back then is they wanted to have the lowest price out in the marketplace, even lower than Walmart. And one of their executives called me… well, it was a conversation that got to me after it had progressed through all of the levels of my sales organization, and essentially what Amazon wanted is an obscene amount of support, financial support, so they could have the lowest price and beat Walmart. I literally said to the executive, “You know that’s illegal, right? I can’t do that.” You know you get silence on the other end, ‘but this is what I want.’ Literally we stopped selling to Amazon, and it’s because I wasn’t going to do something illegal. I wasn’t going to do something that would put at risk the relationship we have with other retailers. But it also set the stage to say, look, you’re not going to push me around. This is the way we do business. And so that’s how over time you build respect.” nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-amazo…
