Games

I was reading up on how Bandai Namco is using AI, and it’s pretty interesting. They’re using it to dig through tons of old data and resources, which makes sense. But so far, they haven’t said anything about actually creating game assets – like characters or environments – with AI tools like the ones everyone’s talking about right now. It’s all about research and looking back at what they’ve already got, as far as we know.

The Premise

New Special Mounts

The upcoming game, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, won’t be overly lengthy. As explained by Hudson, a shorter experience can be more appealing. He believes a game that takes 200 hours to complete can be daunting, and players often prefer something they can start and finish in a reasonable amount of time – perhaps around 20 hours – without feeling stuck in the first section.

Despite being a creation of the author’s imagination, the character Zaza possesses immense and frightening power. The author, Eiichiro Oda, specifically requested a scary and impressive portrayal of her, as shared by music composer Kohei Tanaka in a now-deleted post. A fan, @DawnStussy, captured a screenshot of the post and translated it, further fueling excitement about Zaza’s eventual anime appearance, even though it’s still a ways off. Oda has high hopes for how the anime staff will bring this powerful character to life.

During the week of May 4th to 10th, Kpop Demon Hunters didn’t appear on the list of the top 10 movies on Netflix in the U.S. This was the first time in nearly a year (46 weeks) that the film hadn’t made the U.S. top 10. However, it remained popular internationally, landing at number five on the global top 10 list. Although interest in the movie seems to be decreasing in the United States, it’s still performing well around the world.

Season 3 of My Adventures with Superman is coming to Adult Swim this June! The new season will adapt the ‘Reign of the Supermen’ storyline from the classic DC Comics, and like previous seasons, it will offer a fresh take on familiar characters and ideas. You can watch the first trailer, released by Adult Swim, below.

You’re probably wondering how much control we’ll have in Directive 8020 – I certainly was. This new installment seems to be Supermassive Games’ most technically complex yet, but I’m already sensing a conflict between the freedom to move around and the need for a compelling story. The big question is: can they combine the upcoming survival-horror elements with their usual, story-focused interactive gameplay?

I’m really excited about the new stuff they’re adding! They’re letting us actually control our Summons for a bit now, which sounds awesome. There’s also a new solo mode called The Conflux that’s supposed to be super challenging. And the price is pretty good – you can get the base game and the Endless Ragnarok expansion for $59.99, or you can just buy the expansion as an upgrade if you already have the game.
