Actor Neil Newbon, who voiced Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3, has shared his thoughts on artificial intelligence in gaming, and he didn't mince words.
"Fuck AI in performance," Newbon told PCGamesN.
He's talking about using artificial voice lines for games, like how Embark's The Finals and Arc Raiders do. For Arc Raiders, the studio hired human actors to record voice lines and then used AI systems to have their voices say lots of other things. Newbon pointed out that Arc Raiders has been a...

There is so much for players to do in Roblox’s The Forge, and one of the most important gameplay features is collecting all of the different ore types. While a major goal of the game is to use the titular forge to craft weapons for combat and money, you need ore to do that.
Players can get all of the different types of ore in The Forge using your various pickaxes, and some of The Forge codes that are kicking around may be able to help with that. That said, with dozens of ores available in...
After more than eight years in beta, extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov finally saw its 1.0 release on November 15. Now, developer Battlestate Games has revealed that the game has sold over 1 million copies in the month following release.

Battlestate Games controversially...

Developer Santa Ragione is reporting that its controversial indie horror game Horses sold 18,000 copies in two weeks. That was apparently enough to save the studio from financial ruin, but perhaps not enough to pay for production a second game.
According to a statement released by the developers, Horses generated $65,000 in net revenue, which allowed Santa Ragione to repay its loans and pay the royalties it owed to Andrea Lucco Borlera, the author and creator of Horses. However, the income...

Earlier this year, Silent Hill f became the first game in the series to ditch the small American town that the series was named for in favor of setting it in Japan decades earlier. That approach may be used again for future titles in the franchise, according to developer Motoi Okamoto.
"We believe we could perhaps take similar approaches with other cultures across the globe," Okamoto told Inverse through a translator. "For example, in Central or South America, we could perhaps tap into the...

The conventional wisdom is that Kinect was an albatross on Xbox One, making the system more expensive at launch and taking away resource power. But now, over a decade later, the Kinect-like Nex Playground has outsold Xbox hardware for November in the US, according to Circana.
Nex Playground came in third for hardware units sold last month, outpacing Xbox Series X|S. The only saving grace is that Xbox raked in more dollar sales, as Nex Playground retails for $250 but has been on sale for...
