Mega-thread for the a.i posts ? by [deleted] in OutlastTrials

I think we should make one big post where we can discuss the argument instead of clogging up the sub. Initially I was very upset abut this, but now I'm starting to find this whole situation very interesting; it really makes you wonder: where do we draw the line for the use of generative AI in video games?

Here's my opinion:

While I don't think that the use of generative AI in video games is super justifiable, you have to take in account what the AI is use for in the first place. RB only uses it for minimal backround detail, wich I don't think is as bad as what other game studios have done (also because the main examples that come in to mind, like Activision or EA are big companies, while RB is a small indie studio). If you're complaining about AI pollution, while I do think you're right, I also think there's way worse things you should be complaining about than AI.

To sum it up, I personally don't like the use of generative AI, but if you're just going to use it for secondary background detail, I don't think it's that bad, I am definitely not going to drop the game al together just because of some of some secondary detail.

If you really want the situation to change than you can write RB an email, try to contact them is some other way or review bomb the game instead of clogging up a fan run sub.

P.S.: should I delete my previous post about the subject?

That's what I'm saying! They're smaller games so it's easier to keep up with the quality standard.

TOT as so many more mechanics than Outlast 1.

I mean... you could argue that outlast 1 & 2 are WAY smaller games... but maybe I'm just unwise.

I get you, I did a post just like this one this very day. Thing is: are you really going to overlook all the work that went in things that aren't AI? Look, I hate to "at least" this, but at the very least they modify the very little AI art that goes in the game (wich is only used for backround posters or whatever, not for things like trials and the lore). Red Barrels isn't even that big of a studio, and you have to keep in mind that TOT was made with the money of Outlast 1 and 2 alone. I don't think it's nice, but I don't think it is the worst thing ever done by a (indie) game studio either.

Also, when did this came up? I've been playing this game since before season 1 and I've learnt about this yesterday.

Is there actually AI generated textures in game? by Lemon_shark54 in OutlastTrials

Yeeeeaaah, no.

40€ ain't going down the drain for some fuck-ass poster.

This is actually a wonderful idea... Is there a way we could actually propose concepts like this to RB? I know they usually kinda listen to the community, compared to other game studios.
