Epic Games Inc. delayed the release of an upcoming video-game collaboration with Walt Disney Co. and told its developers to use more artificial intelligence tools to finish the game, according to people familiar with the project.

The title had been slated for release in March, but is now delayed with no new date communicated, said the people familiar, who asked to not be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak to publicly.

Developers on the game, a shooter featuring characters from the Marvel and Star Wars franchises, were instructed to implement an “AI first” production model using tools such as Anthropic’s Claude. Humans will then manage and guide that work. “No more hand-written code,” one of the game’s directors told staff in an internal message reviewed by Bloomberg. The director added that all art for the game would be “generated with full AI workflows.”

Even before this announcement, the maker of the popular Fortnite game had been pushing hard for the use of AI across all of its divisions. But this is the first time a major video-game company has attempted to build a title primarily with AI.

"We’re embracing AI-accelerated development, led by Epic developers who are the visionaries and creative drivers for everything we do,” said Jake Jones, communications director at Epic Games, in a statement to Bloomberg News. A spokesperson for Disney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Some examples could be:

Portal 1 / Portal 2

Resident Evil Remake 1 / 2 / 3

Mirrors Edge

Limbo

Dishonored

etc

A newly painted Goodyear blimp took off this morning from its hangar in Akron, Ohio heading south. I wonder where it's going?

Get it???

Really though, I'm more of a New Vegas guy but the exploration in this game just soothes the soul. Ironic since I'm exploring the decaying remnants of human civilization, but eh.

This game still deserves appreciation for its atmosphere all these years later.

There were a lot of old videos on how to unlock secrets in games. Like in smash bros brawl, unlocking master hand needed you to defeat 50 enemies in cruel melee. Then press 2 on the wii remote to unlock a secret character slot. Obviously we know these are fake, but I don't know how legitimate they sounded at the time.

I get people were young that generation (myself included) But these seem so absurd that somebody had to figure out they were fake. But I'm wondering if any of these overly descriptive "secrets" were actually real. Like how you can unlock rosalina in mario kart wii for having galaxy.

I was deeeep in to destiny 2 up to about 2022 and didn't play to much else for a few years prior. Had a kid, haven't played many games since. Decided I don't want to do MMO games, and started playing older, single player games so I can pick my pace (I can't do the weekly grind anymore). So far, I've finished outer wilds, and most of the way through subnautica.

I've got a decently capable laptop (11th gen i7 & 3050ti) and looking to build a bit of queue for what's next.

I've got Firewatch downloaded, and have been playing some slay the spire 1&2. Really open to just about anything interesting or "must plays" I've missed in the past... 10 years or so?

Recc me

I’m currently in the middle of Ghost of Tsushima, which wears it’ s Kurosawa influence clearly on it’s sleeve.

It reminded me of how much Alan Wake II reminded me of the holy trinity of weird film Davids - Lynch, Cronenberg and Fincher.

What other games have a sense that one film director was the inspiration throughout?

Base F.E.A.R is excellent as always, Extraction Point is pretty good also, Perseus Mandate is kind of weaker and looks unfinished in some sections but still had a few interesting moments.

Playing on a new OLED almost made it feel like how it was playing on CRT for the first time back in the day.

I've been playing F.E.A.R every year for several years and never got bored of it, its like a few weeks before October I start getting thoughts of playing it and start getting a bit excited and to run through it again.

Man, I have had this game sitting in my back log forever. I finally decided to play it. I’m blown away by the game for the most part. The game play loop is satisfying as hell, the story is cool, the world matches the tone of the game. I knew I’d like this game but I didn’t know how much I would. Bend was cooking with this one.

For me it was Resident Evil 3 Remake. I spent 70€ for that game, to just finish it in like 5 hours and got left with pretty much nothing after the ending.
