10 Video Game Announcements NO ONE Wanted To Believe

Video games may look like child's play to the general public, but for those invested in this world a good game can transcend these social stigmas and become a piece of art. Indeed, there are plenty of developers working today who believe in crafting worldly and deeply involved games that offer experiences quite unlike any other art form, taking the moving image, player interaction, sound effects and graphics to a whole other level.

Unfortunately Microsoft's Xbox, one of the biggest names in gaming, doesn't seem to feel the same.

Just this year, Xbox announced Muse, a generative AI model for gaming that generates visuals and controller actions, essentially creating new games after being trained on existing ones. The current iteration of Muse is built on 2020 multiplayer Bleeding Edge, and footage demonstrate that it can create what seems a reasonable facsimile of a game. While Xbox are claiming that this could be put to good use preserving older games and making them portable to other platforms, it undeniably opens the floodgates to AI in gaming, making the implications for the future of game development bleak. 

And if this feels to you like it runs contrary to everything that game creation and participation are about, you aren't alone.
