I was going frame by frame. It was horrible fucking Mike fucking Carl, too Carl you expect you let's move on to story number one quote They're completely wrong Nvidia CEO responds to widespread criticism of DLSS 5. This is Andy Robinson at VGC Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has deflected widespread criticism of DLSS 5 claiming that detractors of the AI technology are quote-unquote completely wrong on Monday the technology giant launched the latest iteration of its machine learning tech this time instead of improving game resolution or frame rate DLSS 5 uses an AI model to alter the visuals of supported games running on Nvidia graphics cards adding what it calls quote photo real lighting and materials in quote however the announcement was met with widespread criticism from players and games industry professionals partly because DLSS 5 seemingly drastically alters the original art direction of its supported games In a press Q&A with Tom's hardware at GTC 2026 Nvidia CEO Jensen himself has now downplayed criticism of DLSS 5 and claimed that developers will have full control over its Implementation in their games quote well first of all they're completely wrong the CEO says quote the reason for all the reason for that is because as I have Exlaimed very carefully DLSS 5 uses controllability of the geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI and quote He added the developers can fine-tune the generative AI to make it match their games visual style claiming that DLSS 5 adds Generative capability to existing game geometry, but that it quote doesn't change the artistic control and quote quote it is not Post processing it's not post processing at the frame level its generative control at the geometry level He added quote all of this is in the control direct control of the game developer He said this is very different than generative AI its content control generative AI That's why we call it neutral rendering and quote neural Neural rendering and quote thank you DLSS 5 will arrive this fall in an announcement video the tech is shown drastically altering the appearance of characters and environments in games Such as Res Evil Requiem Starfield and Assassin's Creed Shadows. I have several Fucking updates for you on all of this that are just more insane the last I had buried this Thank you Barrett Barrett's thrown up the principal skinner sims is am I to touch on the children? This is what I was gonna pitch for the thumbnail, but I figured I was too old that I should have done this Okay Anyways, we just went from it'll arrive this fall in the announcement video the tech is shown drastically altering right? I'm gonna jump down to one of my meanwhile's right This is Chris Scully at a VGC in videos DLSS 5 reveal trailer only as 16% likes on YouTube Its players make their voices heard at the time of writing the video has been viewed more than one million times But its ratio of likes to dislikes is only around 16% positive of the more than 98,000 likes and dislikes clicked on the video Only around 16,000 have liked the video while around 80. I'm sorry 80 82,500 have disliked it. Oh if that wasn't enough Let's go to insider gaming's Tom Henderson who had a similar report about the Nvidia CEO's comments But then had this set of paragraphs the fucking end of it Developers were left in the dark about DLSS 5 speaking with developers and artists at studios that have agreed to DLSS 5 Not to scare you. There is a caterpillar on your shirt. A catty pillar There's a whole ass caterpillar on your shirt That's so cute I don't know what to do with them. I don't know what to do with the do if we were on camera I Yeah, probably I don't know I roll my windows down to get the conversation off It seems crazy. He would have stuck with me. I don't know bear at some point get me a leaf. All right, we got a pet I need I need leaves a tupperware a little bowl of water Everyone the tensor said Greg Greg you're there's a bug. I'm like, there's no way that's a bug It's like oh wow, I started looking and I was like what's happening. What's going on? Little inchworm little caterpillar look at that life finds a way you know the guy This thing is so lucky that we're on camera, I would adjust Damn, I'm not like that, bro. I don't like that. You know little caterpillar. Yeah What do you think about DLSS 5 little caterpillar Burn the corporation Whatever you say little caterpillar. Okay. Anyway, sorry. Sorry. Sorry Insider game is Tom Henderson Developers were left in the dark about DLSS 5 speaking with developers and artists at studios that have agreed to DLSS 5 Including Capcom and Ubisoft who as we just talked about we're in the fucking presentation Insider gaming was told that the DLSS 5 tech was revealed to them at the same time as everyone else Well, we found out at the same time as the public and quote one Ubisoft developer Developers at Capcom tell insider gaming that the announcement and the publishers involvement were particularly shocking as Capcom has previously been historically very Anti-ai with projects such as Resi will requiem and other unannounced projects in development Some of the publisher fear that the DLSS 5 Announcement could prompt a change in the publishers view on generative AI and its implementation in the games if That wasn't enough we have an exclusive comment People are so fired up about this that the people who make your video games decided to start reaching out to me to have their Voices heard so what I'm allowed to say in my KFGD exclusive from an unnamed BAFTA winning developer Okay, this was written into me This isn't a tool for devs at all. It's in video showing its Stockholders a lot of who are probably CEOs of publishers and funding houses that they can fire more artists and still sell games This is a tool for CEOs to get bigger bonuses No artists or game dev who makes games because they love making games and art will ever ever use this tech ever The idea that this will make creating games easier for x y and z people is a red herring no doubt in my mind This is a cost-cutting tool a.k.a. More layoffs in more slop As if oh, yeah, that bear brings up this amazing blue sky from yesterday on the art the Nvidia subreddit Oh, all these comments from moving on about it I remember and it was just DLSS 5 reveal going well then yeah fucking hundreds of upboats on all those taking it all out now As if that wasn't enough There's more to have a conversation here the one the only Simon Cardi from IGN put up a Blistering op-ed today on IGN that reads and videos DLSS 5 is a slap in the face to the art of video game design It is an amazing read a required reading but Simon's last graph goes If we allow this sort of technology to thrive are we giving the go-ahead for companies to place less importance on curated art direction? And instead do the bare minimum and let AI fill in the gaps I don't know about you, but I like my art to be made by humans I want to know someone decided to light a scene in a certain way or if the small details on a character's face were sculpted with intention So I'll continue to say that visual quote-unquote upgrades like this look look like shit It's not the tech behind it has it. I'm sorry. It's not like the tech behind it has any feelings to hurt anyway Good job Simon Simon a great write-up if I know you're listening eventually because you've got funny games daily But no a great write-up there and it's a fucking gigantic goddamn mess I don't even know where to start with this When I first I was it was happening during the game very pro AI so yeah, yeah, you know me You know me with my AI tattoo. No, I'm I'm definitely not pro generative AI whatsoever I remember it was actually during the Pocopia the beautiful wholesome games cast and during that games cast the DLSS 5 news broke Yeah, and I saw the thumbnail and I was like, oh what a weird thing for IGN to be putting like an AI bullshit thumbnail Yeah, I just utter display you can see it in my face during that Pocopia review is like I am just I could not believe So many layers of it right like to go back to like the base level of all this right? I think there's something that it's kind of being missed in this I think this is such a stupid move for the brand of DLSS specifically, right? Is such an incredible piece of software and it pushed the industry forward so much and it's also synonymous with getting gains from your systems right like being able to have a system that is not able to run your video game specifically at 4k with Ray tracing on but now hey DLSS means that I can do that I can generate the frames I can actually make this game run it like for you know 480p and make it look at 4k and it looks gorgeous right amount of times I've used this on a PC game and I'm in yes you all know it's idiot novice PC player right but I go in there I'm like oh it video is there turn that shit on and then the magic works the game looks better and runs better And that's all the it DLSS equals runs better looks as good as it would have beforehand running natively now with this It's like what this is not DLSS, right? This is something completely different that they're co-opting the brand of DLSS and I can see Sort of where their mind went of like hey, we're reconstructing rays. We're doing why don't we just reconstruct it's like no You're not putting things on top of it to the point where in that demo as you guys talked about yesterday It's of course a demo right but it's running off of two GPUs like it is not this is the opposite of what DLSS is I was ranting and raving about it all last night with Jen and she was asking I'm like are we even gonna get there? I don't know because the fucking demo is using two to fifty-nineties I believe was the report so it's like we're not even close to where this is gonna be in your normal computer tomorrow exactly right and then I Have gone through all of the stages of anger I not even grief like cuz I haven't gotten to the acceptance part I I've just I just angered that depth hell of I started off disbelief and now I'm just at this point where I'm a little bit conspiratorial Where I don't want to be the friend that's like to woke but like I genuinely believe that this is a plan from Nvidia to Make all video games look the same so then inevitably they can build some type of tool for developers to make AI-generated Video games at the core level and cut out the artists because if you look at We can talk about artistic vision We can talk about all this up But if you look at all of those screenshots all those games look the same when you put on DLSS 5 I can't tell the difference between yeah when you roll through the video we showed yesterday It's like all this I cannot tell the difference filter which is why it's the filter which I understand that kind of the argument of the CEO Like well first off they're wrong you read the quote. He's like well He's mad that the people are like it's an AI filter. It's not a filter. It's all this shit, but you're still missing the point Do exactly yeah, no you're you're you're talking about oh, we're not changing the geometry So you're just saying a bunch of words because at the end of the day it it's what we see right? We visually see the thing I'm so sick of people telling me my eyes don't work I mean like I see the thing that is happening right in front of me You guys are clearly putting changing the way that grace Ashcroft looks in this video game She does not have dark roots in her hair She does not have makeup on like that like you are changing the visual style of this video game and yeah absolutely This makes so much sense that a lot of the developers did not have eyes on this because when they say oh well Creatives or sorry specifically the developers have the ability to tweak and tune in reality I know for a fact that the head you know Artists and the people that are actually designing Leon Kennedy to make him super hot are not the people that are gonna be in the Back end changing the DLSS tuners and making sure all these things like that is a pipeline that you need to add to every single studio That is just not there So I think it's so they're lying to us straight bold face right to our face saying that oh well We're giving it to the developers so it's their artistic vision like is it the artistic vision of the character designers? I doubt it this goes all the way back to the argument yesterday of just like There was a way to come out Showcase this talk about it. Yep and not have this reaction Absolutely and that way was rather than say we're partnering with EA and Bethesda and Capcom It was to actually go work with one of them. Let's go with Resident Evil because it's so fucking huge Hey, everybody. We're introducing this tech. It's launching this fall We want to show you how we can make Resident Evil 9 look better Yeah, and you go through a detailed thing with we sat with the artists the creators all these people and we did it You don't they're they're doing the whole fucking thing where they're saying one thing But then obviously it's gonna come out of like these developers are like no one talk to us Yeah, and then the argument becomes well no not for this but for when you use it in the future is what we will then do it Right now. Yeah, you fucking stepped on a landmine here Which I don't understand how you could not see that this would be and that's fucking a current and that's my again conspiratorial to woke whatever it is I They had to have seen this they had to have they I don't do not believe that Nvidia the trillion dollar company that they are made this technology and did not expect this level of backlash or this or something To happen because of this I don't think they're that up their ass So they've been create this and they so different from what they've done before that they didn't expect someone to say something Well, I think it's just that they don't care. I think that's the bigger thing about it We get caught in the echo chamber of people who care about video games and are all about video games and live for video games And are here every day on games daily and giant bomb and x y and z IGN right and I think overall We're such a small slice of the pie that they really don't I think when you read this one from the unnamed Bafta winning dev right when it's like this is it's showing stockholders, right? You this is who we're out there It's what we talked about yesterday with Andy of like you get to this point of AI is so fucking hot right now for some reason Even though it's not doing anything we want It's so hot right now for investment in funding in stock that you have to say here's what we're still doing with it Here's what's the next big thing to come out and be like yesterday say this is the GPT moment for graphics like that's disgusting I think for most of us, you know what I mean I'm sure there's people out there who are stoked about it and again as we got into yesterday with Andy a bit art style Is your opinion this that the other sure? But I mean there's also still like our like intense in art style and Glossing over that and also, you know like yeah, I think they don't care as well because you know with the AI Boom and bubble that's happening right now like in videos at the center of all of it, right? Right a lot of Pierce has a great video about like the insane just Money trading that keeps going back and forth between all of these companies and you know in that video You can see of like the this is just them trying to you know share even or like you know sell even more to investors like hey We really want your money if you're interested in you know investing in video games because you know we need more for some reason Exactly, and I think that's part of the the thing here of Did they did they know there would be backlash? Yes It comes back to will the backlash matter There's still and I am a PC novice the runaway front runners for graphic cards and all this stuff and it's like it's also such an interesting argument of okay, well DLSS is still great and the graphics cards are still great and G we like g4s now a lot We you I've used it a bunch. I think Tim uses a lot a lot Yeah, like there's still stuff going on. That's great. And again as we talked about yesterday like We've been sponsored by a video a bunch of times and we know people on the video gaming team that are great and are trying to and I'm Sure, they're the ones like oh my fucking god I do we just do the shit we're doing that's really great and not worry But you can't separate this and go that way But it's now the argument of like we always come down to how do you stop the stuff you don't like and it's always vote with Your wallet right and it is that thing right now? I feel like so much of this it to bear its point with the Alana video and where we're at and AI funding and this that the other like There's a runaway gravy train eating its own tail whatever going on about this that I don't think Matters as much to what we're doing with our wallets But the answer of course is to lead into and go with the people who aren't using this tech and are gonna not use this tech and Are gonna have cool art styles and these indies and these double A's and all this different stuff and again I See The reaction and I see so many people like oh my god over reaction to what's going on out here, right? But it's an important overreaction because you need to make it clear that we don't want this or the majority of people Don't want this and the YouTube downloads and this that the other blah blah to try to change this thing But then also to have it not be the next Live service investment like again in video is doing a lot of cool shit with tech This ain't it don't do this take those resources and put them somewhere else Which again? I don't know if we as the consumer can stop right now because of the money and the shares and the stocks and the venture Capitals and all the jazz, but it's just That's the only way you can do it is you have to be loud when this shit happens in the same way We were loud about loot boxes in the same way we were allowed about nfts A less in way you're allowed about a lot of stuff where you try to kill it in the crib before it becomes a okay Cool here is res evil 10 and you're playing it on a base PlayStation 5 and it looks whatever and I'm playing on pc And it looks like this and it's just not the same it's When I play video games I am a nerd I'm somebody you know just marrying an artist So I see all these things and I get it and we talk about it all the time But like I am always So blown away when I step away from like the gaming element of it and just look at the Artistry that was put into anything especially resident evil right like playing that game looking around understanding that every single thing in that game It's handcrafted. It is gorgeous. It is gorgeous. It is gorgeous. It's gorgeous and to see Nvidia trying to erode that I think again we talk about the overreaction I see people saying it looks good to me and it's like I I understand that and I respect I respect your opinion completely, but also I I don't think you really like video games I'm gonna say like I don't think you really like art if you are saying that you enjoy someone Reshading everything that the artist work on worked on it's painting it over because it looks like realism Capcom could have made the game look similar to what dls s5 is creating They didn't do that on they didn't do that on purpose They could have done the meta humans. They could have tried to push technology in a way They designed grace to look like grace. They designed leon to look like leon They this there is there were choices by career. This was not and I that's the thing that I Shout out digital foundry. They do a good. They do a good job There's a lot of backlash on that video that they put out there and I think rightfully so because they do talk about Well, this is them bridging the gap between what the artists were trying to do and what they couldn't do because Of technological limits. That's not true. Like I genuinely do not believe that this is what the technology is doing It is not bridging that gap. It is not the artist was not fuck man. I wish I could make a really old lady I wish I could make this lady so old this broad look old She needs to be so old right now and look like you know, she has more wrinkles than you've ever seen No, that is not what's happening here. Like they designed it the way that they designed it Why are you saying like oh this is this is what I want re games to look real That is the thing that they want. They want you to be used to this filter just like how youtube, uh, I don't know if you're aware of this Audio comments. I use them all the time. Yeah, it's great. Everybody check out the youtube comments comment something. Greg Will reply with an audio comment, uh, but they started doing maybe about a year ago YouTube shorts have like a filter on them. I don't know if you've ever noticed. No, I've never had like a sharpening filter on them And people are like that's weird and then people are like no It's because they want to make sure that all videos look the same so that inevitably AI stuff also looks about the same And it's like this is the side but then you can we can all have the conversations like oh like am I being conspiratorial? This is what these companies do like this is what these tech not companies do They want to make sure that you are in the realm of where they're trying to sell you at And that's what nvidia dls has five screams to me is We are not making enough money from being able to sell Basically graphics cards that you know use normal dls So what if we start to create tools that can create video games using generative AI? And I I believe that that is dls 6 and 7 is there inevitably going to be like Hey, what if a team of people can make a video game that doesn't have Graphics that has like a prototype vibe and then we can just you just type in hey We want to you know white female with you know dark roots and then she's running around and you know shooting things How big are the bosoms huge massive You have my attention I said six seven fuck ah damn it caught up to you Tons of super chats coming in about this of course. Let's get into some of them right now. All right Oh, no, I was gonna go with cams right but in this newest one from josec orthaz speaking of artist happy five anniversary and zack Snyder's justice I I'm into the fucking day coming to the fucking day Congratulations. I'll never forget black and white staying up watching that. That was incredible. So hot. You want to reach around? Remember when the joker said that yeah, he did cam super chat Uh said they mostly apply this filter to games with hyper realistic graphics in the demo What happens when they apply it to a hyper stylized game is mario gonna have wrinkles of a 56 or 65 year old man Nintendo would never allow you to have this no he would never do that I mean you kind of see it with oblivion. I mean like like it's not hyper stylized But you know you see those elves and it's like oof. Yeah, that's weird. It looks like it's like a huge homer The fucking ai is like who finally know what humans look like so I'm gonna do this like those images I loved when I was a little kid. It's like what if homersimpsons was a real person. I love that shit, bro When you're a little kid, that's what you love, right? Uh dj kento says if amd came out and was like quote We're not gonna mess with the visual intent of artist and quote. They'd have such a win right now just a tweet even Yeah, but oh Jesus Jesus You know what I mean, you're looking at that and being like no no no I wow it's on the right. No, that's good What if we you know just took away shadows and made things, you know everything has a spotlight on their faces That's also something that just pissed me off. It's like you see the starfield thing the two people talking to you Why do they have bright spotlights on our face and they're like, oh, we're changing lighting. It's better Uh James and peters So glad ddr five ram now costs thrice the amount it used to so we could get technology like dlss five dot dot dot Sarcasm, obviously of course Uh kebabs pops in ai assigned my problem with dlss five is that it's only supposed to upscale stuff to 4k Making leon look like a shutter stock model is missing the point Yeah, I'm letting you all vent right now. There's not much to add we vented. You know what I mean We did it uh John stoney in 20 2003 says honestly morals aside it does make it look photorealistic So long as the devs gets choose a level of ai involvement and it doesn't change the fundamental art choices that i'm okay with it Best case scenario. Yes, sure sure I mean they put the work in you know, I mean it's it is still like someone did the work and then you're painting over the work So then it changes, you know, it nullifies their job essentially and that's that's the biggest fear here And that's the problem. Yep again of I don't have Boots on the ground. I am an artist. We are using this and we're using it You know, we've turned to tile which isn't how it works to 3% And it is doing up resing to make it look what we really did want everything to look like in this game When we didn't have to do a style. We didn't do a thing. It's all there. Yeah, but that's not what we're getting right now What we're getting is now you're fucking wrong with developers gonna love this and the developers like I don't even know about this That doesn't look like the game. I fucking made I made a game I didn't see my fucking nine month old son after fucking 9 a.m For six months while I crunched on it and now this guy's got a spotlight in his face. Yeah And to go back to the that uh super chatter like the you had to make that point after saying morals aside as well Yeah, great about that shit as well and just a point that I've been thinking about like Always think about you know, who benefits the most from more of us believing that video games are More of a technology platform than a Platform for another medium of art who benefits the most It is always going to be the corporations who try to sell it to sell you that So again going back to rogers like getting you to kind of get used to these things and accept these things Um, it is the idea that everything needs to be realism driven and technology driven and all this stuff when really video games Are just another medium of art. Yeah Air Limes has shout out to insider gaming's article pointing out that publishers went over the artist slash devs heads when saying they gave permission Most didn't know we capped we did that you might have gotten here late. We did give tom hennerson's article air shot out Yeah, shut up being a big part of it or whatever Uh, yeah names too hard for you monday depp quote devs endorse dls s 5 look they even got tatt Howard and quote today quote We found out about dls s at the same time all of you and quote shake my head Of course, this is the problem of someone at the top of a company hearing about this and not the people making these things Norm chacho says tech ceo is continuing their generational run of saying stupid bullshit Now that's a great point for there for jensen. Yeah, who I don't know from a hole in the wall. Yeah, but really Yeah, I wouldn't like even his quotes are so combative Where he's like the completely wrong thing you're like sure. Well, where is it? Where the fuck? Do you do you think we they pull this back at all? It's not post processing It's not post processing at the frame level. It's this what we give them control direct control That was giving me the thumbnail too it was gonna be I'm not know it Do you think they pulled this back there? There there there is the moment where they have the Walk, I think they have to have some type of walk back. I do. Yeah, I don't think it's a pullback work pulling the plug I think it's a Again delay and then we we work with they do the thing you say where hey we focus on the developers It's a blog post. Yeah, I'm like, hey everybody Clearly we missed the mark. Yeah, we believe that's the biggest problem. I have with this is that There's no we believe in the tech and we're gonna make you believe. Yeah, there's the you're wrong. You're fucking wrong No, the developers. Oh, I mean, I mean it's like they Got caught with their pants down on this one And so I think as always and this is where corporations really ever fucking do it Being human for a second. Hey, we see you. This is not what we intended to do We are all about helping developers. We want games to look as good as they can We are gamers like you we understand the trepidation about ai and dls s5 We are gonna pause for a second. We are gonna continue working on this and planning this but we're gonna start getting Ground level devs to use it so you can see what the fuck's going on here So we aren't showing you games you love that look completely different and having devs. I don't know what the hell is going on like The whole problem here is that Another problem, I guess but my take on the whole situation Is that this is not only I think to a degree and again, this is Pushing away from the nefarious. Sure. Maybe they're evil and they're doing this kind of thing I think this is an easy fix but it should have been an easy launch Yeah of just like hey look what we can do look at what we did with the resident evil people and the hogwarts people and like We worked with the people and here's them the front line. I am a character animator. Here's why I like it Here's what it's good about it, right? But this wasn't designed For us. Yeah, this was designed for fucking angel investors and shareholders. Oh fuck. Yeah, put more money into invidia Yeah, and so now you've got to deal with this and I don't know I have not heard in all the reporting nor have I gone and checked on it Because I'm playing starfield What's going on with like the stock has there been it did we go up based on this announcement? Did the reaction bring it down like that's funny because like in video this this is so big to us The the gaming portion of their everything is so small, right? Like I would be very surprised that that dropped even a percent, right? And that's my thing of right now like dialing it back in to not alienate your whole fucking audience because yeah to the super chat amd Again, I know shit about graphics cards, but this is an easy chance for them to be like we're not going to do that I mean that's what I mean that's by our shit. That's a great call. That's a great call Hey, we ain't doing that. We love games by our shit. Yeah, no, absolutely I mean amd is doing incredible work over there with fsr and they're doing the The you know invidia dlss uh, you know a competitor right there So if they can look over here and say hey, we're catching up to dlss and we're not doing that shit like that's a great cell Right there. So shout out to that and also shout out to uh lossless scaling That's also a version of that that's open source and open source But it's uh, it's like 15 bucks on steam try that out if you want to not use any invidia stuff right now Tj says the word this is super chat, of course the worst thing is their apology will never be as loud as the disrespect of pushing this onto developers I Hear you I don't know if I necessarily agree I think if we make the apology loud and we Give it the same time we're giving out right now That and I know you're not talking about kind of funny you're talking about the industry in general, but Industry in general does have a goldfish memory and it's one of those things you can make An enemy for life of people like oh man like this is one of those moments of like The google of like do no evil and then well google you're fucking evil You know, I mean like what does invidia want to do here? What do they want their legacy or at least reputation to be here? Yeah, it's always easier to be like yo, we stepped on a rake I'm sorry. We are sorry about that Even jensen here. Let's be honest Corporates ceo yada yada. Let's put all that aside for a second He's a human so like yeah, I can understand being defensive. There was a comment Last night in yesterday that was kind of funny, right? I did the like rise up like no don't do that Like you know, because it's hitting on a personal note out of but it's like I understand of like We think this thing is cool and we want to make it cool But it's like I then understand Then my come in with the layers of corporate bullshit that gets put on anybody and do they think it's cool and whatever I don't know as you know, I only know how to ceo as ceo of kind of funny, which is a much different operation When we fuck up we like I was stupid Whatever Um, I think those are all the ones we're going to get through right now for that And it's oh, sorry.

This is victoria phillips kennedy at euro gamer Actor charlie cox known for the likes of daredevil and stardust. Okay Known for daredevil, you know what i mean? Maybe boardwalk empire if we want to get out there I set to start another video game following the success of claire obscure expedition 33 Speaking with agents of fandom which sounds terrifying cox reflected on his time working on claire obscure expedition 33 Stating he is quote unquote blown away by its far-reaching success. He then shared this little nugget quote It has seemingly opened a new avenue for my professional work I'm gonna do another game this year and quote nice cox stopped short of revealing which game he was going to be a part of next But he did say he will be quote much more involved with this one and it will require more work from him While he didn't go into specifics here I've I have taken this to mean cox will be doing both the line and voice of motion capture acting For whatever game he ends up portraying. We shall find out soon enough. This is all victoria I don't necessarily agree in the same conversation cox added he was pleasantly surprised by the level of passion found within video game communities Quote it's something i haven't known much about and honestly didn't realize quite how passionate the fans were They are as passionate as the marvel fans are that's been really really cool and quote yeah, I like that discovery Uh, remember the article I trimmed for length obviously it talks about like he did like all of his lines in four hours And then he also in this interview Complimented and put over the guy who did the motion capture for the thing the oh i lines and vio I would just think well, maybe it's a bigger part. Yeah, it's more than four hours right of what you're gonna do Yeah, no, it's it is funny though like every single time you would talk to him He'd be like I don't four hours. I was in and out. You know, I mean like he barely remembers I mean no, but I mean like that's a great way of like Not stealing the spotlight and trying to push you we talk about you know Pushing the right people and getting the limelight to who it deserves to be I really appreciate about that about him Yeah, I mean that's that's one of those i'm sure for him. It's like a happy little accident, right? So, oh, yeah Any circuses in a sure then now it's just Okay, we're good. Okay. Thank you so much. Yeah, that's exciting for him. Yeah Yeah, let me just see what that is and how big of a game it will be. Yeah, maybe it's huge If I want something Right, can you imagine instead? Let's go to a story that is kind of small Number three on the roper report hitman tv series is officially dead This is david thompson at the direct plans for a live action tv adaptation of the hitman franchise on hulu We're officially scrapped in an exclusive conversation with the direct filmmaker derek colstad Share that the previously discussed series based on the hit video property is not moving forward Since debuting in 2000 the hitman franchise has become one of gamey's most distinctive stealth experiences How does that sit with youth winterfan? I mean the right got a hitman solution while attending the premiere of normal at south by southwest in austin texas The direct spoke with derek colstad about the tv adaptation of hitman He had been attached to the project as an executive producer and writer when it was being developed for hulu But he offered a blunt update when things were standing today when the direct asked if there were still plans He said it's dead in the water. How do you quote? No, it's a little bit of a dagger to my chest Who knows nowadays, but it's dead in the water But man, I love that thing because I love that game and I love that character But the problem is I can write a screenplay, but no one's going to go out and buy the screenplay You've got to make the movie you've got to make the show But nothing's happening with that man sadly With that man with that man that agent 47. You know what I mean? I've thought so Deeply throughout the years ever since you know playing blood money as a small child Sure about way too young way too young. I played gta when I was three years old. We'll talk about that another day I thought about like what a hit a good hitman adaptation would be and I've come to the conclusion I don't think it's possible. Oh my god. No way really. I I really I Unless you go super camp and you're like you're dressing up in the outfits I just I don't believe that you're able to make something compelling especially a series Like something that's going to be eight episodes like maybe you can do an hour and a half little romp of him Running around dressing up as people like kind of almost getting caught like but like as a series like that that seems like a tough Ask for me. I love hitman. I love hitman. Yeah, so I don't know I don't necessarily did you watch the killer with michael fastmander? No Great movie. Okay, really? Okay, legitimately. He's a hitman and he does everything you would expect from age of 47 And I forget the actual plot. I think maybe has to start taking care of somebody or whatever in the middle of it or whatever Maybe he did not even remember. Yeah. Yeah, but oh no, that was it I think he did the whole we were with him on a couple missions And then he went home and his like his girlfriend had been kidnapped or whatever by somebody who had followed the trail But yeah, you know he had to go after them. Yeah, but it was great. I really enjoyed it But I remember watching with jen we were both like this is this is a hit man. Oh the hit man movie They should have done this is hit man. That's cool. I there's ways you could do it I mean absolution is like a very like you played absolution right? Did you which one was that that's the they all run together That's the 360 one. That's like it's like more like cinematic. I don't think I've ever rolled credits on hitman So I couldn't tell you that's crazy. I have no I It's more like cinematic and they're trying to be more serious about it. I didn't love I think you got to go goofy with You know, I mean like you got to lean into like the fact is a chef Yeah, exactly like you got to go super goofy with it, but I also don't want to be john wick I don't know. It's hard to find its own identity in this world of all these action movies and stuff So not that I'm happy that it's dead, but I do think that that would have been a tough ask. Okay fair enough You know, it's not a tough ask to marry leon kennedy. Oh, we don't know who it is This is victoria philips kennedy at euro gamer with the story who is married leon Ever since resable requiem made its horror fuel debut in february There has been one surprisingly sweet or maybe slightly thirsty question on everyone's lips Just who has leon settled down with you see after completing resable requiem players are able to unlock concept art Which shows leon with a wedding band on his ring finger But the game doesn't say who his lucky spouse is many have our units ada others say claire our mat is determined to discrease Now of course I want to support my friend and colleague And so I reached out to capcom to see if the studio would finally settle the debate of who put the ring on leon And amazingly I actually got a reply from resident evil requiem director koshi Na kanishi alas. He didn't give me an actual name, but his response was incredibly wholesome quote The answer will become clear someday But not just yet what we wanted to convey in the final scene is simple Leon now has a place to go home to and we hope that we hope you can imagine the peaceful moments He spends there he told euro gamer Leon is a man who says very little about things that truly mattered But he would sacrifice himself without a second thought to save a life right in front of him So what does his ring signify resolve or a vow? He may never voice that answer himself, but for now after finishing a long battle. He has a place to go home to isn't that enough? That's beautiful actually that is actually really beautiful right that's awesome. That's amazing. That's all you want. Yeah, hell yeah Do you have a thought? Oh, absolutely. I love the resident evils for what they are and then like the overall story Yeah, well, I when I finished Yeah, exactly. People like what it wears it and wears gila wears this. I don't even think about any of them Yeah, yeah, no lands has been showing me so many edits of just like Ada and uh leon lately So it's like that goes my head But also as I read this or as you read it to me, uh, I am like man How nice would it be just a random person? You know, I mean just like he just he has a normal life outside of this You know, he found some some person at a bar they talked and they hit it off and they've been married for a few years now He doesn't have a normal life though, right? Because I mean he's always in that car Yeah, exactly. Have you seen the edits of just how much money everything that he has is worth them? Like his car like 30,000 dollars is washed 10,000 dollars. He's just like rich as fuck. I mean, you know, when you got the skills He's got yeah, exactly. He's a good president's daughter. He's the best Uh, but yeah, I do hope it's kind of someone random and it's just like a nice little cute little thing Oh, he doesn't I bet it won't be it'll have this whole this whole franchise is so like Interconnected Skywalker that no they've got to be connected. It's gonna be somebody I mean, I honestly I think they're gonna reveal in the dlc. I think that's what this is. I think it's gonna be the expansion It's probably gonna be Ada and it's gonna be like probably like maybe the the finale of that It's like, oh, they're gonna bridge this into and then eventually we get a trailer, right? It's Leon looking for his wife and then it's a silent hill game. We're like, what the fuck How'd they do this? Kojima's back. Whoa. Wow Uh, DJ Kanto has his own theory on a super chat. Leon isn't married. It's a purity promise ring He got in his youth group years ago. Leon's never been with a woman that way Hey, we're in the brainstorm tree All options are on the table. I appreciate that. I love that. I appreciate that He felt he was really influenced by the Jonas Brothers back exactly exactly remember that what an era I was like, I'm gonna save myself I was like, that's the way to live life. Just get a little little fat poaching rise. You're like, I'm gonna save myself Didn't have to be that choice You're like, what a great out life made that I don't need to talk to anybody. I don't need I I don't need to feel bad about it I can just see any of you like, you know, I'm saving myself. I'm on the almost saving myself Number five subnautica two will get early access release in may following the latest court ruins The journey continues. This of course is the one the only the kfg award winner rebecca valentine at ign.com Subnautica two is entering early access at last ign can exclusively reveal that both developer unknown worlds and publisher craftin have agreed the game is ready for its early access release in may On xbox and pc though an exact date hasn't been provided just yet Unknown worlds head steve paputsas Said shared the following message with subnautica two team today team We want to take a moment to sincerely thank every member of the unknown worlds team and our partners over the past nine months You've worked incredibly hard to bring subnautica two close to the finish line That effort has resulted in a game. We are truly proud of one that each of us and our partners at craftin Unanimously determined is ready for early access release in may Thanks to your dedication and talent. We've added more story chapters built new creatures and created new biomes along with many other features With this significant progress. We have passed craftin's milestone review last week And are now ready to start our open development journey alongside our community We have full confidence that we have reached a point where we can deliver the experience our players will love We look forward to working with ted gill to support a smooth transition and work towards a successful launch Our priority is getting the game into the hands of the community that has been eagerly waiting for it And that means honoring the work you have already done to make that possible Deep breath if you don't know what the hell's been going on This comes after a major victory for unknown worlds on the heels of its developers achieving a significant victory in a legal battle with publisher craftin Last year CEO ted gill and other senior team members were unexpectedly fired from the studio And the game's launch was delayed with craftin alleging that gill and his colleagues were quote-unquote checked out And it failed to deliver a game that was ready for early access The fired leaders filed the lawsuit claiming craftin was trying to get out of its obligation to pay out a 250 million dollar bonus split between the entire team that would have kicked in if subnautica 2 released on time The ongoing legal drama in the ensuing months included Severe claims on both sides including the suggestion that craftin ceo Chang him chim. I'm sorry. Chang han kim Was used had used chat gpt to quote-unquote brainstorm ways to avoid paying unknown worlds bonus And the defied leaders had quote-unquote referenced racist views towards korea and korean people However, just yesterday a judge ordered craftin to extend the deadline on the conditions for the 250 million dollar bonus in reinstate gill in his former role Though litigation remains pending at least for now It seems that subnautica 2 is able to move forward with one of its primary drivers back at the wheel craftin itself appears to be on board with releasing subnautica 2 as indicated by a statement shared with ign today We can confirm that the internal message shared with the unknown worlds team is accurate The team has made meaningful pro for progress following the milestone review approved earlier this month And has been working towards early access release in may while we respectfully disagree with this week's court ruling And intend to explore all legal avenue Incredible our goal is to minimize disruption to the team and release plan We remain committed to an open development approach working closely with the community as development continues And are focused on delivering the best possible experiences to players and ceo's role CEOs are the greatest the greatest breed of people man. It's like, you know, we're not there We're not part of it, but just as an outsider pop corn in the hand. Yeah, fuck you craftin god damn great job A great job. I just want to read ij it can exclusively reveal that both developer unknown worlds and publisher craft them have agreed to Agreed the game is ready for early access. I don't think that's true. I think that's crap. I think that's unknown worlds is saying that I think They're very clear. They've made the team has made meaningful progress fund a milestone Just a big The court's order the guy to get back in charge of the developer He is able to steer the ship and figure out what to do with the publishing event. Yeah I do also believe that they've always felt and known that it was ready for release You know, he just listened to ai revs like follow-up question. Could they have done this in may of last year? No, no, no We're not answering that My chat gpt told me it wasn't ready. Honestly, you know, we talk a lot of shit about ai But maybe we should let ai cook and you know, you'll find out when this releases in may maybe ai was right about it And then jason scharer will have the article saying that the last two days of development have been the greatest two days of development In company history and they actually got the ship right right it and they made it all happen Congratulations. They're about to make a lot of money. I hope I hope they hit that 250 mil Well, I mean that's not hitting it right. That's just getting it out Well, you know, I'm said if they hit the milestone, right and then they hit the they get the 250 million dollar bonus, right? So The milestone wasn't the issue It was the date you had to have it out by this date to get the 250 million oh really and that's when craft was like Yeah, I gotta fuck off and they're like, whoa, and then they that's holy. So right now Yeah, yesterday the judge ordered them to extend the deadline on the conditions the 250 million Gotcha. Okay. I thought it was also connected to amount an amount of money they have to make Back to the other part, right? Pay out a 250 million dollar bonus split between the entire team that would have kicked in if sub nautica released on time Okay, so it seems like it was just it was just the thing. Wow. It wasn't a meta critic. It wasn't a thing It was just let's get it on time. Lots of dinner. So that's not what they're arguing. They're going back to quarterback I was like, all right. Well, we put the guy back in charge, but It missed the deadline. You can't push the deadline. The deadline is a deadline.

I do love and that's it for we news We jump to the super chat to see what we've missed or some people have come in We knew is we jump I didn't do our premise, but you know Ed Reed fan 20 super chat and says what if charlie cox's game is the rumored god of war fey game as fey is played by debber and wool Carrying page from daredevil. Perhaps she's convinced him to join the game's cast That'd be awesome. It's too late though. Right. I mean this game is coming out potentially. What next year? Is the rumor? I mean, I mean he maybe he's been working on it a while. Oh, okay. You know me. Who knows? you know maybe Um, call master says late. We news meta is shutting down the uh vr metaverse on june 15. I saw it yesterday I was just like Just use vr chat and exist Uh rod super chat that says day of the jackal on peacock is the closest version of the hitman adaptation So check that right that down at your notebook day of the jackal. We're making things up day of the jackal. Is it jackal? is jackal Needy mango says losing joy for games. I need a reko that sparks joy What I would tell you to do Is go back and watch the indymix showcase from monday of gdc Now you can watch the whole dev stream. That's like, you know, whatever eight hours But just to showcase so many great little indie games in there that should sparks and joy for me I would give you the find your words game. Yeah, which we did a demo. We started the show the live demo thing with I think that could be it, but I don't know your taste. So look through there and find something Yeah, if you fuck with 3d platformers one that we played live was uh bubzy 4d But that developer also just came out with uh demon tides If you want something right now, so Recommend checking that out. My recommendation is to not play any new games Go back find a game that you haven't played for a long time and then just see what that's good I played uh poker night at the inventory The new remaster or whatever and that just spurred so much joy and I think I think I'm back I was on cloud nine yesterday playing starfield and then playing it back home with you Exactly. Yeah, go back. What's your comfort food? Go find that exactly Uh, we we did a lot with the whole nvidia thing But the great pxm lord says call me jaded but my biggest fear is that ai has opened pandora's box And thinking that being loud and angry make it go away is a little naive I don't know. I don't think where you can put ai back in the box I think we can push back on initiatives that we think are too far And make our opinions known and then double down on those opinions to find the games that aren't doing that You know and support the people who are still hiring artists and using artists. I'm not I I don't know if you've noticed the world sucks And I don't think the answer is rolling over and be like well, we lost that battle. So I guess Everybody who's not white get out of the car. I'm gonna still fucking scream and yell about Up everything and if you want to take the pragmatic approach, right? If there is enough backlash every single time there's an ai thing happening investors look at that And they do take that into consideration right of like, hey Do I do I even want to invest something that people are going to be mad at me for right? So that's something to think about Uh, sol writes and it says uh invidious stock is down amd stock is up. So we have that going for us Uh, here we go. Here comes the money and I'm looking for through the ones that we didn't do Stigmata, that's good Uh Sergio man, I'm begging you intercap on some of these names Shout out to greg for putting me on to the kirkland signature cold brew went out and bought some on sunday Sipping on my own as we speak you hear that kirkland.
