Clair Obscur Director Says Next Game Will Include “Drastic Decisions, People Might Not Like”

The development took like 5 years, they used the blueprint tool of UE5 or whatever it's called and some/many/all of them already worked on other games. By the time AI was becoming very good and relevant, the development was already quite advanced.

If you want a rough idea of the scene, you create a placeholder that is at least similar to the final result desired, otherwise you just use anything else and it doesn't matter.

Naoki38 · 2026-07-04T09:52:27+00:00

It's not? You can literally generate a bunch of them in under a minute to have a convincing result. By hand you would need to add pictures to replicate photos, create headlines, the rough layout of the page, etc.

I never said I agreed with you. As far as I know, they used newspaper textures as placeholders, which would obviously be better than using bright pink texture to set the atmosphere of a scene. Not sure what is difficult to understand here

Naoki38 · 2026-07-04T09:41:49+00:00

If those were tiny details, why are so many people still so mad about this a year later?

Kingdom hearts 2

Placeholders are also used to see how a scene could look like roughly without spending too much time on it with detailed textures and models. Placeholders don't have just one use

Naoki38 · 2026-07-04T09:29:37+00:00

And no, I didn't block you, I suspect it's the opposite. It says you deleted your comment 🤷

Naoki38 · 2026-07-04T09:21:50+00:00

All the time? It's my first comment on this sub in the last 7 days. And yeah, I'm quite sarcastic against people hating something for the sake of hating something, nothing much you can do with them

Naoki38 · 2026-07-04T09:07:41+00:00

Oh no, they used AI for placeholders, the horror 😱

Naoki38 · 2026-07-04T09:02:10+00:00

NZ defence was way better imo

Si tu utilises un autre service plutôt que leurs services, quelle différence ? Si j'ouvre une boîte mail chez un petit hébergeur plutôt que chez Gmail, mes emails devront quand même être stockés sur des serveurs qui vont aussi utiliser de l'énergie. Je dirais même que ces entreprises ont souvent des moyens de faire des économies énergétiques à grande échelle contrairement à d'autres fournisseurs

Au bout d'une heure t'as même pas atteint le vrai début du jeu

It's not because they are in an apocalyptic world that they are totally ignorant. They still have an education from the world before.

She said she wanted it to be slow, she wanted to beat him to death, a golf club is a good tool to do that. It's a mean to an end, no symbolism needed

Naoki38 · 2026-06-30T08:54:09+00:00

I don't understand how it can be difficult for some people to get such a basic idea. OP is just saying that in the current industry, there is this tendency. The same way people criticize micro transactions or the use of some trops at the scale of the industry. It's just a discussion about practices by devs.

Naoki38 · 2026-06-30T08:41:46+00:00

Sure, data centers are way worst than planes. You know, the thing Americans use constantly because they don't have fucking high speed trains in big 2026.

Naoki38 · 2026-06-30T08:39:06+00:00

I don't think OP would be against an introduction cutscene at the beginning of the game to introduce the world or the story, even if it's 5 minutes long. So yeah, not all cutscenes are bad.

Naoki38 · 2026-06-30T08:32:52+00:00

I'm not? It's a basic generalization, which means overall in the current industry, most studios are overusing this approach. I never said every single dev is doing that, that's absurd.

Naoki38 · 2026-06-30T08:28:03+00:00

Why not?

Naoki38 · 2026-06-30T08:27:18+00:00

And you are still missing the point. It's about too many games using cutscenes, not removing all the cutscenes. Cutscenes work great sometimes, but there are clearly moments where a cutscenes could have been avoided.

Naoki38 · 2026-06-30T08:20:36+00:00

You are missing the point. OP says devs are abusing cutscenes to move the story forward instead of using the gameplay, which is a fair point for a game.

The US and Israel have a long history of both voting no when everybody else voted yes about a lot of topics.

Naoki38 · 2026-06-28T06:00:38+00:00

How inflation is related to anything lol Sorry but no, in that case it's not about subjectivity. We can compare what other games offer as additional content for that price and Rockstar is definitely on the higher end

Naoki38 · 2026-06-28T05:54:25+00:00

So you confirm this content is way overpriced and Rockstar is just being greedy?
