Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke about the GTA 6 leaks and how it affected Rockstar in an interview with IGN. Zelnick described the leak as “really upsetting and frustrating for the team”, but it did not affect the company or the game from a business standpoint.
The GTA 6 leak dates back to September 2022, when extended gameplay videos and screenshots of the game surfaced online. In addition to supposedly confirming the game’s Vice City setting and Bonnie and Clyde-inspired story, the leak revealed that the new GTA could feature previously unseen elements in the franchise, such as sex robots and crocodiles.
A few days after the leak surfaced, the alleged culprit appeared in court and was held in a detention center for minors.
During the same earnings call, Zelnick spoke about implementing AI in video games. While Zelnick believes that new AI tools can help development, he is skeptical of the ability to develop a game without human developers.
The executive went on to say that the popular ChatGPT AI tool is similar to a handheld calculator. Decades ago, parents feared that handheld calculators meant kids wouldn’t need to learn math, but that wasn’t the case. “The answer is yes, you still need to learn math, after all, you absolutely need to learn math, but you have a tool that makes it easy. And ChatGPT is the same thing,” he said.
Looking at the gaming industry at large, Battlefield publisher Electronic Arts has been working on AI technology for years. In 2018, EA announced Project Atlas, an R&D project with 1,000 people working on it that aims to change the way games are made through AI and neural networks. This technology was implemented in the Battlefield series and was smart enough to play the game and even play the objective.
One game that some people might believe is a product of AI is The Day Before, a highly anticipated survival zombie game that has once again opened itself up to controversy.
The game’s developer, Fntastic, has previously come under fire for its claims that the game is being built by over 100 “volunteers” and tested by dozens of unpaid “supporters”. The title was supposed to launch in March of this year before being pushed back to November, which the developer initially claimed was due to a copyright claim, before later revealing that the delay was planned before the rights issue was even raised. .
The copyright claim, however, delayed a 10-minute gameplay trailer that the developer claimed needed to be approved by lawyers before being posted.
