My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.

Also, a bet on consumers being willing to pay AAA prices for slop
They already do, the only difference is now the slop will be made by AI instead of underpaid developers in Romania.
Don’t they do that already?
Hahaha sure, let them do that.
I always hated them anyway. Good riddance.
They’re also betting on people buying this crap. Hopefully they don’t.
good, let them fail more.
Just sitting here playing the long game, waiting for EA to finally implode and get sold off for parts so we can finally get a new Command & Conquer.
Game quality from this company will be absolute dogshit ai slop
How many EA games require you connect to their servers just to play? How many have ToS where you need to install any updates before you play? How long before these PE folks figure out they can push updates to even older games that add data mining capacity?
At this point EA is a slur and is not allowed in my home
Well now, I'd already basically given up on EA, glad I made the right choice
Vibe coding is one thing, but I am curious about the state of using of AI tools to reduce the cost of generating 3D assets, animations, and textures. I assume they are introducing this into Ignite and their other build tools, for more rapid prototyping if nothing else.
My first thought was they'll probably use it to generate endless slop assets for The Sims, since people seem to pick up whatever they put out for that.
For 3D model generation, I've played with Hunyuan3D, Tripo and Trellis. The models they make are impressive, but not production-usable. You'll spend enough time cleaning them up that you may as well make them the old fashioned way.
Most of the benefits of generative image models are already baked into Photoshop. While helpful, not something that's going to give them a competitive advantage.
EAAI
Not that I bought their games to start, but I can hope this drives others to stop buying their games all just to say fuck you to some of the investors in this.
Maybe private equity will do to EA what they did to Toys'R'Us!
I will gladly take the customers EA loses
