Halo 343 Studios:
Here's 6 hours of Halo Ring start menu we probably spent 1.2 million making...
Random X User:
I think AI is better (prompts, 30 seconds later).
Internet: Explodes.
I'm sorry, but 343 got mogged judging by the reactions. You can nit at the AI video, but imagine if they spent a week polishing it rather than 5 minutes.
This is a combination of 343 just not being good enough to deserve Halo and AI getting better every day.
The comments are completely predictable. Every artist is defending the 343 version, not because they really thought about it, but because the perceive AI as a threat that must be taken out at all costs.
Meanwhile non-artists see a lot of merit to the AI version and the potential.
I see the issues with the AI version, but I bet you a few more days on the AI version, perhaps generating 3D assets with it, would end up being the clear winner.
See reply for the complete meltdown thread of reactions.
(and for those who haven't heard me before, yes, that's my voice)
