Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney wades into the Arc Raiders AI voice debate with an imaginary scenario predicting ‘infinite, context-sensitive, personality-reflecting dialog based on and tuned by human voice actors’

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, views generative AI as a significant opportunity for enhancing in-game dialogue, proposing it could create "infinite, context-sensitive, personality-reflecting dialog" shaped by human voice actors. His comments were in response to criticism from freelancer Rick Lane regarding the use of AI-generated voices in the game Arc Raiders. Sweeney believes that AI can enhance human productivity and that competition among game developers fosters better games rather than reducing job opportunities. He argues that the future of AI offers greater opportunities for voice actors compared to traditional roles, envisioning a gaming landscape with dynamic, context-sensitive interactions. Critics, however, question the feasibility of his vision and express concerns about the potential threat to voice actors' livelihoods. Industry responses to generative AI vary, with some leaders embracing it while others remain cautious. Sweeney acknowledges the validity of concerns about the impact of progress on affected individuals.

Beloved classic PC adventure game returns 23 years on with full remaster, but fans say it doesn’t do the original justice

The remaster of the 2002 game Syberia, announced in May, currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam, with some critics labeling it a "cash grab." Players have expressed disappointment over the remastering process, particularly regarding the unchanged original CG cutscenes, which contrast with the updated graphics. Some fans have humorously noted details like the "aggressively large" mustaches of characters and the placement of an automaton in a significant location. Despite criticisms, the game's charm persists, leading some fans to recommend the original version instead of the remaster. Players can purchase both versions in a bundle for a slightly higher price than the remaster alone. In contrast, the remaster of Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy, released earlier this year, received a more favorable reception.
