Sony is working on a prototype version of at least one character from PlayStation. Anonymous Tipster has released an internal video with Sony’s PlayStation Group with The Verge It shows the AII AII version Horizon forbidden West. After publishing this story, the video was pulled out of YouTube due to a claim for copyright from MusoA company enforcing copyrights that advertises Sony Interactive Entertainment (AKA PlayStation) as a customer.
The film was told by Sharwin Raghoebardajal, software engineering director at Sony Interactive Entertainment, who is working on video game technology, Computer Vision and Faces Technology for Advanced Technology Group Sony PlayStation Studios. We watched Raghoebardajal demonstrate the AI AI version, which can talk to the player through voice hints during the game.
ALOY could be observed questions with a synthesized voice and face movements, both in the demonstration setting and in the whole Horizon forbidden West game. Raghoebardajal explains that this is only a prototype that was developed next to guerrilla games to demonstrate this technology internally in Sony.
Technological demo uses Whisper OpenAI for speech to the text, both GPT-4 and Lama 3 to talk and make decisions. According to Raghoebardajal, Sony has its internal emotional voice synthesis system (EVS), which he uses to generate speech, and facial animation is powered by Sony Mockingbird.
While the demo works on the PC, Sony also experimented with starting part of this technology directly on PS5 consoles with “Little Koper”, according to Raghoebardajal. Sony for the first time showed it internally a year ago, before she showed a more advanced version behind the closed door at the Exchange Technology Fair (Stef) in Tokyo in November.
“It’s just a look at what is possible,” says Raghoebardajal. This technological demo does not answer more obvious questions whether it makes sense to talk to Aloy at all when you should play like this Horizon forbidden Westor the influence that such technology can have on voice actors and game creators.
The above video was pulled out after the publication of our history; You can see the animation above.
Nvidia is working on its own similar technology for NPC powered AI in games in which you freely talk about video games. Ace, as Nvidia calls it, was demonstrated several times in 2024 Secret protocolA playable technological version of AI Nvidia game technology.
Microsoft also works closely with Inword AI to ultimately introduce AI characters on Xbox, enabling game developers to apply generative characters AI, history and others. Microsoft also created his own AI model, which generates the game, initially designed for game developers to create a game environment for prototyping and ideas.
Among the creators of games and studies there is already a lot of fear about how AI can affect the inventive process of creating video games, especially when so many dismissals affect the gaming industry. Almost half (49 percent) from 3000 respondents to the conference of programmers (GDC) 2024 questionnaire He said that AI generative tools are currently used in their workplace, and 31 percent claim that he personally uses them.
Sony experiments with PlayStation characters powered by artificial intelligence will certainly generate more conversations about the role of artificial intelligence in creating video games, just before GDC next week in San Francisco. We used Sony many times to comment on this leakage inner film, but the company did not answer. Again, we asked to confirm if Sony pulled out the video and whether he had further comment.
Update, March 10: It has been added that the video was pulled out by the copyright agent, who counts PlayStation as a client.
