Recently, foreign media IGN reported that the producers of Capcom's new game "Pragmata" Zhao Yingxi and Oyama Naoto were interviewed and discussed some inside stories about the early stages of the game's creation.
At present, the development of AI technology is in full swing, and it has even reached the point where "fake things can be mistaken for real things." However, in the early stages of game development, the development team could not imagine that AI would become as advanced as it is now, nor did they expect that AI technology would develop so rapidly.
Zhao Yingxi said that the concept of "Virtual Reality" originated from his thinking about the moon, and asked the team to brainstorm a game with the moon as the background.Since then, developers have come up with the concept of a "black and white world" on the moon, and the concept of enemies being AI came later.But no one on the team knew they were about to release a game about AI.
"Judging from the current situation, we really couldn't predict that AI would develop to such a scale at the beginning. But now that AI has become so important in the real world, we think, 'Oh, maybe we should refer to the current AI and add this or that feature to the game. Why didn't we think of this at the beginning?'"
However, the two also confirmed that the development of AI in the real world has not affected the story or direction of "Virtual Reality".The direction of the game was already set when its trailer was released and became a hit.
Oyama Naoto: "A few years ago, when we released the concept trailer, we determined the game AI concept in the early stages of development, so basically what you see in the game is like this. But at that time, we really didn't expect that AI would develop to this point. The future we created was in the not-too-distant future, but that future is getting closer and closer."
Zhao Yingxi: "Yes, so the AI in real life is progressing or developing too fast, and it may have surpassed what we see in the game now. What you see in the game may not be as amazing as what you see in real life..."
