We're certainly at a point where chasing higher and higher fidelity is adding development cost which doesn't often pay off in terms of sales.
The future hardware still can push more pixels than what we're experiencing with these consoles and high end PC hardware, but is the game more fun or enticing because of that?
He mentioned that game design and genre development is where innovation is going to lie in the future and I hope that's the future we see
I think AI will help reduce the dev costs over time. I mean that it can assist with uprezing things and generative placement of objects and textures is only going to get better.
I do not mean that ai should ever be used to creat me games or assets whole cloth.
Yeah for sure that could increase productivity. Tbh I'm not sure how much the process can benefit from AI, for sure there are applications but I wasn't under the impression developers would be multiple times more productive. Maybe I'm wrong there.
At this point the evidence is mounting that the productivity boost through AI for software development is somewhere between negligible and negative.
