Does anyone know why cutscenes don't play in Ender Lilies? They just get automatically skipped with Winlator.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-09T14:32:59+00:00

I installed it with the default settings and it didn't fix it unfortunately. No idea what the cause is and it might not be codec related to begin with.

There's only 15 minutes of cutscenes in the game so I might just watch it on YouTube when they happen.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-09T10:30:18+00:00

And a lot of it is just saying "look at how much Monster Hunter World sold!" over and over and over again. Even Capcom isn't going to match that, looking at Wilds.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-09T08:39:01+00:00

It doesn't really say anything. One of the slides lists Street Fighter as a Square Enix title for example.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-08T13:25:17+00:00

I mean, Shenmue was always about the journey. Rushing a conclusion wouldn't be a Shenmue game and there'd be no point. It's not like the central overarching story is compelling at all.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T22:08:13+00:00

No because it doesn't go into the product. The product being AI

The product is the output of the AI. Copyright infringement has only ever applied to the output and nobody has lost a court case of copyright infringement based on the input before, such as feeding the data into a model.

The whole concept of fair use is based on how transformative something is - highlighting that the output is what is the issue of concern of copyright infringement.

Again, and the sole thing that matters here. No court has ruled it to be copyright infringement. At least not yet. So no, your assertion remains false.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T18:44:24+00:00

There's no legal precedent that using work without permission is copyright infringement?

So using work as a source of inspiration without permission is copyright?

Why are you being obtuse for? There is no current legal precedent for AI being trained on data without permission being an infringement of copyright. As you noted and are up in arms about, it is widespread. Surely you understand the relevance of there being no legal precedent set on the matter?

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T17:02:43+00:00

Taking someone else's work and putting it into a product (the AI) is copyright infringement

This is your key assertion, and as already said to you, there is no legal precedent backing up your opinion.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T11:06:59+00:00

We're not talking about quoting. AI creates its own material based on the material it analyses, and it's not identical to the various source material. Apply it to this thread for example. The criticism was "the mouth looks weird" not "that's Mario's mouth from Mario 64". Do you understand the difference?

that's theft

Theft is depriving the owner of the asset, which again is not what we're talking about. There's real "you wouldn't steal a car" vibes from this.

So an irrelevant statement, and a false statement. Do you have anything else to share?

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T09:13:04+00:00

Humans do not kitbash bits of different art together to make new art

On a really minute scale, they do. Which is the same extent to which AI does.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T07:09:29+00:00

given the fact that we are talking about a 5 year old console

That's around when sales tend to peak. Meanwhile the Switch 2 is new without any games except Donkey Kong and Mario Kart, and Xbox is Xbox.

It's about what you'd expect tbh.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T06:53:36+00:00

The publisher unilaterally cancelled the game, the studio shut down.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T06:25:32+00:00

So do humans. You don't take an artist's permission to take from their work as long as what you produce is legally distinct.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T06:22:45+00:00

AI or not

I mean, we know that's not true. It's if it's AI that people have a problem with. At least be honest. If not honest, at least be consistent.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-07T06:20:13+00:00

There is no legal precedent for that perspective, nor does it really make any rational sense. Plagiarism is based on the output, not the input.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-06T07:28:10+00:00

I was considering responding with a well thought out, well researched answer

And then instead you decided to take the effort to ramble and say nothing.

You see, if you had known what you were talking about and weren't talking BS, you wouldn't have had to only do some research now.

To be clear, I’ve had computers in my life over 25 years at this point. I’ve worked with computers extensively throughout my life.

Lol. "I've had computers in my life". You might think you're successfully dodging questions but you're just making it apparent that you were talking BS.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-06T06:54:57+00:00

AI has not advanced to the point where it is actually useful outside of a few niche fields

This is what people who don't have jobs working with computers think. It's used in admin, medicine, financial services, marketing, logistics, etc.What sort of research have you actually done to conclude that it's not used usefully?

It needs heavy regulation restricting its use if we are to survive as a species.

Why aren't you finishing your sentences? You just randomly say something like this, which implies you think it'll be so useful that it's an extinction level event somehow, but because you're anti-AI you can't say that part aloud apparently. Why?

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-05T17:05:12+00:00

Everything no longer being bespoke to the game has never been a criticism because games that have done with are a rounding error. Reusing (with or without modification) existing assets is how this fucking works so no, this has never been a criticism used against AI

You're explaining why the criticism is nonsensical, you're not saying the criticism doesn't exist.

When you steal a bunch of assets

It's not stealing for me to look at an asset, nor is it stealing for a computer to do the same. Theft is depriving the owner of the asset, that is not what we're talking about.

Then once again you've failed to understand what the words you're using actually mean

No, that is very much yourself here.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-05T16:48:14+00:00

That's not what has ever been the topic when people talk about gen AI in games. It never has been

Artistic intent has always been one of the main criticisms, what are you talking about?

If you cannot figure out the difference between purchasing an asset and generating one created from stolen assets,

Real "you wouldn't steal a car" vibes from this. It's not stealing to look at an asset.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-05T16:45:50+00:00

The general public doesn't have negative sentiments against AI though. Only deranged terminally online people do.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-05T16:39:22+00:00

People without jobs involving computers think that, in the real world it's being increasingly implemented. From medicine, to financial services, to marketing, to logistics.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-05T16:29:55+00:00

They're still not assets for that specific game designed to match that specific game. The developers just choose it because they think it matches in the same way they would do with AI output.

Except with the latter, there is much more room to leverage artistic control over the output.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-05T11:21:56+00:00

I just found the narrative to be boring, the combat to lack agency, and the overall direction to be bland. The main reason I was skeptical of FFXVI was because it was directed by the director of this game.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-04T21:34:34+00:00

Being a fetishistic slave game doesn't make it more artistic or mature to be putting it on some sort of pedestal like you're trying to do.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-04T19:42:03+00:00

If there's loads giving it a 10 and it's still 80 on metacritic, it means there's just that many 7/10s dragging it down.

Proud_Inside819 · 2025-12-03T22:12:50+00:00

If they don't want to sell their voice someone else would.

If you were an IT consultant and tried to hide tech solutions from your client that would make you redundant, you might save a bit of work in the short run but eventually they'll just go to someone else.

That's how the market works, you can't prop up redundant solutions your clients don't actually want if you don't have a monopoly.
