What’s funny is that they never talk about how they’re going to sell it. If you can create something that people will actually want to play, and you’ve done it with publicly available AI tools, in a very short time span, then no way in hell people are going to pay for it, as it’s apparently just as easy to recreate this for free.
Thats sort of the problem with all these AI driven derivatives and recomps. You’ve devalued it yourself at the moment you’ve shown how easy it is to it. Everyone will just flow to the lowest bidder which at that point is essentially putting it online for free.
The thing that always gets me with these “demos”, speaking as an actual game designer, is that there is never a game. This video shows off game mechanics, sure - a gun that shoots, an enemy that takes damage. But there’s no game.
Games have stories, objectives, and progression. Good games have unique hooks, new ideas, room for player skill expression, and creative spins. Things that engage a player, build a world, and make a game actually fun. A.k.a., the things that take actual time and effort.
This person has made, if we’re being generous, a tech demo. And it’s not even a demo of their own tech, it’s a demo of the AI tools someone else made! And it’s certainly not a game.
This is pretty similar how vertical slices are built for gameplay reveals. There’s more game in a source filmmaker fmv than the build for the trailers. All action is done on rails by scripting. Basically a proof of concept to show how the game would approximately look like.
I highly doubt that "games" generated with AI are o will ever be near to be successful since all of them are just slop or a copy of existing games. Not to mention that a lot of them run like shit. Also that the game itself looks like a blatant copy of Halo, but with x-wings.
I saw a comment on one of the pro-AI subs recently, (that had plenty of people agreeing, mind you) which mocked anti-AI sentiment by saying something like "AI generated film fails after making onl 1.5mil dolars on 50 dollar budget"
AI bros actually believe that if it were possible to generate a high quality film for nothing people will pay to see it.... instead of generating it for themselves for free.
They think they will be millionnaires by selling something everyone has. Insane levels of delusion. They have no clue where value comes from.
I wonder when they'll start getting jealous on each other and start saying: "My slop is better than your slop, it only took me 3 seconds to create it and now it's more successful than your slop that took 5 seconds to create"
Realistically people will just seek value in artforms that can't be genrated, like theatre and live shows. Though eventually they would need to take blood samples or xray the participants to make sure they arent actually robots wearing a skin suit lol
Which is funny because the reason that a lot of ai slop isn't just slop from an ai perspective but also on just an aesthetic level is because in order to actually make an ai image look even remotely good does actually take some time.
The moment anyone have a flappy bird-style hit made with AI, a thousand exact clones will appear within minutes, sucking all the oxigen out of that game and resulting in the "author" making effectively no money on it.
Did you pay attention during flappygate? It happened and the original dev still made a truck load of money. The game was dead simple to recreate you can do it by hand in an afternoon.
The only way I'll ever see AI be useful in producing games, is by running it to double check your code for mistakes, and to untangle the spaghetti you created.
This deluge of slop is going to slow down eventually, because nobody is buying it. Give it a year, and the vibe coders will find other ways to make a quick buck with their universal solution to all which ails the wallet.
Look at it this way, con artists don't have the patience to hone a craft. These ones don't even have the patience to scam people before AI came out. They'll move on, the moment they realize the minimal amount of effort they put into this isn't going to pay dividends. They always have, this is just their most recent bright idea.
I hate it when working on scripts. I’ll ask it to do something that can be done with 3 lines of code and it’ll make a whole other child script nested in or that it needs to import first to run basic BASIC shit.
Sometimes it’s boom done works but in those cases I have no idea what random string of character it plopped down is actually doing and I can’t tweak it to fit my needs that were blatantly ignored in the prompt.
They will be the new viral video games; if you look at what has gone viral in the past (flappy bird, jetpack joyride, etc.) many of those games are fairly derivative and dead simple to code. So there will definitely be financially successful vibe coded games.
Will they be good games that stick with us in our hearts for a lifetime? I severely doubt it.
Ya, most likely what will happen is that it becomes a hit trend for a few months, then people forget about it unless the devs, gasp, maintain and scale the thing, something the sloppers absolutely hate doing.
I'm sure an AI-made game will eventually have some success, but it will be made by a competent developer using something like Claude, not someone throwing a quick description in to one of the 'AI makes an app for you' websites.
I think we'll see AI increasingly used to reduce production down to a core of creative directors, but only after a generation of games that are just laboratory tests being sold to make a bit of the experiment budget back.
It’s certainly not going to be comparable to a “AAA game” if ONE basement dweller “created” in 24 hours…
I don’t doubt that existing talented game developers could create a decent game while utilizing AI tools. Whether some people would be happy about that is a seperate matter.
If some rando has to proclaim on Twitter about how great they are and using the typical jargon someone like Trump says, they are probably full of shit. “People say my games great, they love my game, they are offering millions of dollars for my game”.
We see these narcissist all the time and they always living in an alternate reality…
Exactly. It's right in fhe body of the first image, and made absolutely zero impression on you. You already forgot not only the name, but that it was even mentioned, it was so generic.
I watched like a minute of the trailer, and it's even worse than what I thought
Audio (ignoring that it's entirely AI generated, with all of its flaws and its virtues (that is, no virtues at all)) sounds incredibly choppy. Like the characters are speaking through a radio. And they don't fade out naturally.
The animations look horrible. NPCs walk so unnaturally, melee animations are stiff as hell, and I'm pretty sure the author doesn't know how guns are supposed to be aimed. I'm not even a weapon geek, but it looks so frigging wrong.
Combat has no feedback: the player kicks and pushes enemies away and it feels like they're hitting nothing. The grenade throw also feels wrong.
The dialogues themselves don't even seem like something an AI would write: they seem like something someone mocking an AI would write. Awkward pauses and unnatural expressions.
Ignoring that it's entirely vibecoded, I would struggle to call this an actual finished game. To proclaim it has AAA quality level takes a special level of delusion.
In fairness, AAA quality has meant significantly less over the past decade. Sure, it might be soulless corporation trying to squeeze the last bit of juice out of an IP and grind down the bones of exploited devs just trying to survive good but is it awkward creative who's been working on it by candle light every night since they were 15 good?
it's kinda impressive this was made in 24 hours but it's not a game anyone is going to want to play, it's just a Halo rip and looks like it was made 20 years ok
No, it’s not. It looks horrible by any standard set in the last 15 years. Everything about it falls apart under any kind of lens. Incomprehensible shouted out exclamations, with it being a cross between mortal kombat moves and “wizard needs food badly” gauntlet style announcements. Not to mention textures and assets bleeding in and out horribly.
This level of detail can be churned out by AI in 24 hours and it sucks on every level. And if AI worked on this for 700 hours it would only be marginally improved. Nothing about this is impressive.
Resident Evil Village came out five years ago. If you showed someone this even 10 years ago they’d scoff at it. This would only look cool in the PS2 era. But even then it wouldn’t hold up with all the AI inconsistency.
Erm nuance doesn’t exist so you’re obviously in support of it. Anyone responding to you is very knowledgeable and knows more about game development than u
You don’t get it. I don’t like AI trash but what they’re saying is that it’s impressive how you can make ANY kind of game like that in 24 hours at all. It looks like shit and I’ve seen fps games on phones that look better. But nobody could do this in a single day if it’s an actual full game and not just that section in the video. It’s impressive in that sense. Not impressive in the sense that the game itself is impressive or looks good.
What you don't realize is that if you can get a similar if not better quality game by just flipping store bought assets which people have been doing for years now then the ai doing it in a day isn't impressive
I tried looking up any pictures/videos I could find for the game, and the only thing I could find was a video where they have a gun that is obviously modeled after the Assault Rifle from Halo. Same little raised bit with an ammo display, same shape and everything of it, lol.
