These can help modders target core constraints like image quality with AI image enhancement, and voice acting with AI speech synthesis. Of all the recent applications, one of the most interesting is the employment of publicly available AI tools in modding communities. AI is already behind world-building tools for artists, voice filtering in multiplayer, more intelligent bots, image upscaling, and generating photorealistic graphics. Videogames are uniquely positioned to take advantage of AI at almost every stage of their production. We're already in the middle of this revolution. Whether or not you consider machine learning to strictly be AI, the acceleration in this field has game-changing ramifications. Developments in the field will likely represent the single largest technological advance in the coming decades, yet today we’ve seen only a miniscule portion of that revolution unfold.
So that was nice.”įortunately, no amount of legal meddling can stop the proverbial train here, which is why recent titles like the Resident Evil 2 Remake have been graced by its horrifying presence.Artificial intelligence is in an interesting place in 2021.
The second time Youtube told them it was covered under parody law, with no prompting from me. “They issued takedown notices on the videos for it. “It was some intermediary law firm based out of Macedonia, saying how I diminished the brand of Thomas by showing him blowing up (nothing about him violently murdering people),” Brock said. We reached out to Mattel but the company did not respond in time for publication. Apparently, Mattel sent its lawyers after Brock after the Skyrim mod blew up, The Face reports. ( Skyrim’s Thomas mod is still up, though.) Similarly, if you click on links for old stories on the internet that previously led to the mod, nothing comes up. “It’s the reason why the Fallout 4 mod can’t be found on any normal website.” Sure enough, if you run a search for “Thomas the Tank Engine” on Nexus, the largest distributor of Bethesda mods on the internet, absolutely nothing comes up for Fallout 4. “Mattel pretty much want me dead at this point,” Brock says. According to Brock, the Skyrim mod got him in “so much trouble,” and that attention followed him across other Thomas the Tank Engine mods that he made. The Face has published a fascinating look at why people keep adding Thomas the Tank Engine to video games, and embedded in this report is a tidbit about how the iconic joke created problems for the original creator. While the cameo has become a meme now, the joke’s explosion apparently put the modder in hot water with Mattel, the toy giants who own Thomas’ image. The tradition of adding Thomas the Tank Engine to video games started with Skyrim back in 2013, when Kevin Brock put the blue locomotive in Bethesda’s fantasy game.
