Capcom’s push for AI utilization in REX engine intends to enhance game development, but NOT by using generative AI🚀

They clarified their stance on the tech and how AI used in the future:

Will:

✅Improve development tools
✅Test game code
✅Analyze large amounts of data

Won’t:

❌Use Generative AI to create games
❌Create AI game assets
❌Make AI created programs in games

This is something Hideo Kojima also chimed in about, stating that he doesn’t see AI as a replacement to human creativity, but rather a helper tool or “friend” that assists in handling tedious time consuming process faster.

That’s a very healthy way to implement AI which does not sacrifice human creativity and artistic intent and uniqueness, which hopefully solves a problem that is plaguing modern gaming, which is extensive development cycles and ballooning unsustainable budgets.
