The interactions are fairly quick; you can maybe get a quick question in, and then the photo, and be on your way. Fortnite creative developer Immature asked Mr. Grinch if...
Writer-director Hideo Kojima has shared more thoughts on AI, this time saying he believes the technology is here to stay and "we can't go back."
Speaking to Nikkei Xtrend, as translated by GamesRadar, Kojima said, "Now there are so many people who can't live without their smartphones. AI is like that."
He added: "I think there isn't any point in saying 'We shouldn't use AI' or 'AI is useless.' We can't go back. Smartphones were the same."
What Kojima is saying lines up somewhat with the...
If you’re looking to start the New Year with a refreshed game room, take a peek at Amazon’s current offer for Arcade1Up’s The Fast & The Furious Deluxe Arcade. The retailer is slashing prices on a long list of arcade cabinets, but few are seeing the full $100 discount of The Fast & The Furious Deluxe--which is currently listed for its best price of the year. But since the arcade cabinet was sold out the other week, we can’t imagine this offer will stick around for long.

It's worth noting that those who already preordered the physical Special Edition will not see their price change.
Publisher Inin Games had previously explained that switching the entire run to...

Generative AI has been at the forefront of the conversation for the past few years, with companies becoming divisive on how to implement it, if at all.
