[Insider Gaming] CAPCOM Will Use AI, But Not For Game Content

With the ever-increasing impact and growth of AI, Capcom has issued a statement during a March 23 'Company Briefing for Individual Investors', signaling its intention to steer away from AI in game content.

Here's the response in full:

"We do not implement generative AI-generated materials in game content. On the other hand, we plan to actively utilize technologies that contribute to improving efficiency and productivity in the game development process. Therefore, we are currently verifying how to use it in various job fields, such as graphics and sound programs."

On one hand, Capcom does not want AI content present in the final game, but the company is going to use AI in the development process.

The only reason they are making this statement is because Nvidia threw them under the bus with their abysmal DLSS5 presentation, and everybody is dunking on them.

Capcom don't want to be associated to this shit-show, but you have to wonder how and why Requiem was featured in the Nvidia's presentation to begin with :rolleyes:

I don't know who's currently in charge of Capcom; it seems to be Haruhiro Tsujimoto, but since Resident Evil 7 and with the RE Engine, he's greatly elevated the brand and significantly increased the company's reputation.

The same goes for Konami; their recent arrival has made a strong comeback.

Capcom's greatest creation and greatest achievement is its RE Engine.
 
They are looking really silly posting this right after allowing the abomination of dlss 5 on their beloved RE.
 
Good for them I guess.
Though personally I don't really have an issue with the use of AI content in game as long as it doesn't look like low quality AI slop.
Like if I'm playing a RE and I'm exploring some apartment I really don't give a shit if the 3D models for the toaster and microwave in the kitchen were made with AI. I've seen some demos of AI services that can even turn pictures into 3D models (so it's not even stealing art), don't know how usable those are for gaming right now but I'm sure more tools like that will launch in the future that will be usable on a professional level.


Yet... you did the DLSS5 promo?

I was very pleased with all the Concept Art bonuses in Requiem, they were clearly proud of no AI use in that game's art and design.

They didn't used AI already for RE9 story? I refuse to believe an human mind has written this turd.
 
There mere fact companies like Capcom are, at this point in time, publicly stating they are still in the experimental phase of finding out how to properly use this tech tells you everything about it.
 
I genuinely don't think there's an issue with using it to prototype or experiment, but it shouldn't be deployed in the final product. But we'll see how serious they are about this statement... obviously, their participation in the DLSSlop thing doesn't exactly help convince anyone.
