Snail Games controversy and baffling official revealtrailer for ARK: Aquatica, an upcoming DLC for ARK: Survival Evolved, was like an entry-level test to see if people are blinded to spot the AI-generated imagery.With a 97% dislike rate and almost 6,000 comments of backlash, here are the studios explanations about how this was created and released.Likes vs DislikesApparently, the marketing team is the scapegoat this time, as Lead Game Designer Matt Kohl told Pocket Tactics at GDC, The marketing department used still images of some of our assets to create an AI-animated trailer. That was not part of the development team; we did not know that they were doing it.Kohl also said that no AI tools have been involved in the DLCs development at Snail Games, and the trailer doesnt represent the finished DLC.Admit it or not, this event has made Snail Games, a video game company that was founded 25 years ago and headquartered in Suzhou, China, more famous, in a way, regardless of whether they favor it or not. The studio was a big name in China around the 2010s, but has become relatively unknown in recent years. After a few failed attempts, it becamelisted on the Nasdaq in 2022.Coincidentally, the company also released announcement trailers around the same time as the DLC trailer for ARK: Survival Evolved for two other new projects made with Unreal Engine, Age of Wushu: WuXia and Age of Wushu: XiuXian. Both new titles are based on the companys video game intellectual property, Age of Wushu. Not surprisingly, Chinese gamers ridiculed both trailers due to the large amount of AI-generated content.Dont forget to join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post ARK: Survival Evolveds AI-Animated Trailer Was Created By The Marketing Department, Said Dev appeared first on CG SHARES.
