- The Silent Hill series producer says AI cannot make a game like Silent Hill F.
- He points to bold choices made by creative humans that would not be possible when working with AI.
- The developer’s comments came in response to the notion that AI would handle remakes and sequels in the future.
AI has become a hot topic in the gaming industry, with multiple developers advocating for its use in the industry. Some, like Hideo Kojima, even propose AI be used for making sequels and remakes as opposed to new content.
Interestingly, Hideo Kojima’s statement garnered a response from the Silent Hill producer. The Konami developer believes AI cannot come up with a game like Silent Hill F.
Why it matters: The entire industry is pushing for the use of artificial intelligence, but many creatives are still against using this technology.
Silent Hill franchise producer Motoi Okamoto recently responded to a comment on Hideo Kojima’s original quote. This response noted that Hideo Kojima always strives to make new things, so his perspective on AI handling re-releases or sequels makes sense.
However, Moto Okamoto noted that a game like Silent Hill F would not fall in the same category. He pointed to bold challenges like pursuing a Japanese setting and working with a person like Ryukishi for the writing as things AI would not be able to replicate.
Ultimately, he believes there are things AI simply cannot replicate, and Silent Hill F is one of them.
Things like changing the story’s setting and to Japan or getting Ryukishi07 on board as a writer are the kind of choices AI would never be able to make.
Ultimately, Konami’s bold choices and decisions to portray survival horror in a different light with Silent Hill F have brought favorable results. The game has been praised by fans and critics alike, and the commercial performance is also quite impressive.
