dosn't look that diff to me at all. meh. I expected much better, like the buildings and graphics we got in wod or like paladins graphics which are really updated copied wow graphics.ya this is low tier trash
Part of me say "NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT THINK ABOUT THE INDUSTRY". Part of me realizes that these things literally won't have happened without AI tools. Like it's just not worth the time or effort. Very mixed.
I had this idea before, you upscale the old stuff with AI because using humans would be too much effort for old assets and put all the time the artists save into new content
AI is a tool. The people who screech about AI images and other content are so fucking cringe.
Its an incredible tool that artists can use to do mundane tasks that otherwise would take up dev time which is better spent developing new ideas.
Just like any other tool, it can be used for good or bad. Using a data scraping tool to have your AI generate images containing other's work, thats bad. Using an AI program to take existing assest you own/license to generate or automate part of your workflow, thats good.
Pandoras Box has been opened, you cant just close it. AI is here to stay and people need to realize its simply a tool and stop acting like entire industries are going to crumble over it.
dont like it, if they want to make it work they have to put more effort than the bare minimum all and actually only scale the things that look good while scaled.
"ready for the world revamp that nobody wants and we getting anyway?" 2 min latter with egg british voice "WOW THIS IS AMAIZINGA IM HUNDA PORCENT LOVE THIS WE REALLY NEED IT"
"Nobody wanted"? Whaaat? The most common gripe of people who didn't like the game, are the dated graphics. Do you want more players to play the game? If you do, you want the game to compete with other games. Obviously. That's a really dumb comment to open with. Wow.

Looks good. I'd use it. Let artists make new designs (for now).
Lmao, that went well with previous ips…….
Expect this to happen more and more in wow, even thought it'll be a disaster

What could possibly go wrong?

Good use of AI tbh
Blizzard games are made by bots and played by bots. This is the future.
AI is the future! We should be happy yet careful
I love this idea and Ive been playing since 2004.
Another example of technology helping companies cut spending to the detriment of workers and customers
