@luscielia Tomb Raider for sure but even if it's a time machine version from next February it feels like I'm cheating somehow? like the devs aren't done yet but I'd already kno if it's gonna live up to expectations? I'd 100% take AC Black Flag a few wks early tho ๐
@eurogamer 'What Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis does feel like is a kind of lighter-weight, lower-budget Uncharted' ... TR feels like Uncharted? other way around.
@ruinwhisperer artifacts, puzzle pieces, ammo, medipacks, and collectables too. and if the anniversary relic room is accurate she took animal heads to mount them for her house (incl the t-rex head lmao) it's like complaining the player can fit a shark in their pocket in animal crossing tbh
@Gustronic_@SwiiLive you rly think the devs have a say in this at all? Itโs the execs and CEOs pushing genAI bc they think itโs gonna speed things up and get the game done faster so they can have money faster. Artists donโt get jobs in the field to prompt slop machines all day.
@GermanStrands@geoffkeighley also there's the RE Requiem story DLC that hasn't got a trailer or release date so that could be at Gamescom or Tokyo Game Show
@GermanStrands@geoffkeighley well considering the games coming in say, February (Tomb Raider, Fable, Persona 4, etc) or early 2027 will be needing promo between now and then I'm guessing we'll be getting more footage of those at Gamescom and TGA. Potentially a solidified release date for RE Veronica ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@arvalis@katsucii tbh I rly hope that's a minority of art directors bc you'd hope that the art directors would also be artists, or at least respect and care about the art enough to know that an artist is the best choice
@luckylancex@katsucii I'm anti AI dude. artists are hired for a reason, to do art. gen AI 'art' isn't art, it's soulless mass produced nonsensical attempts at images.
@deaniellcordero this is the issue tho, they do hire artists, the execs then try to speed up the artists by telling them to use AI. the artist's only options are to quit, do it, or say no and get fired. morals aren't smth everyone can afford.
