Every entertainment industry needs to learn this very basic lesson. Not just video games.

Riot’s anti-cheat lead has clarified the situation around the viral claim that a second-hand Ryzen 7 5800X3D was permanently hardware-banned from VALORANT. According to Riot’s Phillip Koskinas, this scenario is “pretty unlikely.” He says Vanguard hardware bans: >Last 4 months maximum >Are game-specific >Show the remaining ban time when you contact support >Don’t automatically put every other PC component on a denylist just because one component is flagged The original Reddit post claimed the CPU had been blacklisted because of a previous owner’s cheating.

A fan is rebuilding P.T. as a native Windows PC port, reportedly around 97% complete. The developer is reverse-engineering the PS4 executable and rebuilding the game's logic and rendering in C++ and Vulkan, using original game data from the user's own copy. The port already supports: - The full game from the opening screen through the ending - Original Lua scripts, traps, cutscenes, and Lisa's animations - Rebuilt Fox Engine rendering, including shadows, reflections, motion blur, bloom, and volumetric fog - Original Wwise audio, radio broadcasts, and controller vibration - 60+ FPS instead of the PS4 version's 30 FPS lock - Any resolution, plus mouse and keyboard - DualSense, Xbox, and other controllers - Optional AMD FSR 3.1 The developer is also comparing the PC port against the original PS4 version frame-by-frame to get as close to 1:1 as possible.

Good tastes ahead.

PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi thinks the games industry has hit a creative wall Kutaragi said games have grown massively in scale and graphics, but the way developers create them hasn’t changed much since the original PlayStation era. He still sees a lot of potential and believes the industry is at a major turning point and ready for its “next stage.” His message to the next gen of devs is simple: don’t just copy what already works. Keep experimenting, try new things, and stay curious. “The moment you lose your curiosity and think, this is probably as good as it gets, it’s all over.”

"In short, the tweet accurately corrects the common misreading. Capcom is integrating AI into development workflows and engine design for the “AI generation/era,” while maintaining its stated policy against putting generative AI assets into finished games."

Update: I Deleted my post on Capcom, as IGN mistranslated the original source (trash site) it's not AI-generation game engine, it's game engine for the AI era. No GenAI involved.
