That’s not a take I would have expected coming from Konami. Good for them.
Given how much of a shithole Konami is, I would have 100% expected them to be one of the first companies to enlist AI and fire all their devs.
I’m shocked to this claim.
Being blindly ignorant of a very real threat to the industry is good for them?
How’s that glue on your pizza, bud?
AI “won’t bring a significant change” to the game market
*other than hardware prices
What’s been going on with Konami recently? They actually went back to video games, and even made a few good ones. Now this? Seems like they’re going in the right direction, which is surprising these days.
Post-breakup clarity
They’re in the middle of their capcom arc
Don’t these guys make pachinko machines?
At least it’s not AI
Have you considered AI Pachinko machines?
That’s just regular AI paying to use it through tokens
What if we got Weird Al?
What about Al Pacino machines?
I’M A FAN OF MAN

For once… don’t fuck Konami?
I’m not a full time game dev. The times I’ve tried using Godot I don’t know how much Gen AI lends itself to it. Unless you build an engine in scratch you’re mostly stitching visual + audio elements together. Anytime I’ve tried to use Gen AI for it it backfires spectacularly.
Ethical concerns notwithstanding you need to be precise for animations to look legit and Gen AI just can’t do that. They often just look like garbage.
The only thing it’s been useful for is asking questions of “how do I do X? Point me to documentation “. Woo?
Okay. Hold on. Some people is working on last offline Pes game to bring different animations from different football games. So this can be significant change until Konami release brand new offline football game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scK58dcPS4o
Sports games are barely video games.
From the people who brought you games made by humans who fell over dead sitting at their desks.
Based on how AI tells jokes I sincerely doubt AI could generate a unique game concept that’s actually fun.
Already tons of slop AI games beg to differ.
It is amazing these people will come out and lie like this.
Dude hasn’t been paying attention- which is typical of everyone in every industry.
Found the dumbass
You think people wanna play AI slop?
Okay but Konami has been ruining their major IPs for a while. AI might have even done a better job than their recent offerings. I mean… Metal Gear Survive and Silent Hill Ascension are all the evidence I need. It’s hard to imagine saying human made content could be worse than AI generated content, but those two in the least present a pretty good case. I didnt pay for either and still feel robbed.
You’ll still get shitty triple A games and shitty asset flips, and work of art games that are worth every penny just like you do now, so in that sense I agree.
It already did by making it less affordable but what AI has definitely changed is the industry from the inside. By hollowing it out and driving young talent away from the big studios. But whatever happens next, people will continue to make and play games. One way or another. That will not change.
