"Nier Automata creator Yoko Taro believes advancements in technology, specifically AI's generative capabilities, will transform game interactivity to cater to players' desires."
In an interview, Yoko Taro, the visionary director behind the Nier and Drakengard series, expressed his thoughts on the future of games and their interactivity.
Taro acknowledged the limitations of the current tools available for providing interactivity in games. He believes that these limitations will be overcome with advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), which he sees as the key to evolving the way players interact with games.
Taro's vision for the future of games is one where they are adapted to the player's style. He wants the games he directs to belong to the players and for them to express themselves through game interaction. According to Taro, games in the future will adapt to the player's approach, leaning towards action or adventure genres based on the player's approach to a certain situation.
However, Taro is not blind to the potential threats that AI could pose to creators' livelihoods in the future. He has voiced his concerns about the impact AI could have on the industry.
The use of AI partially contributed to an almost year-long SAG-AFTRA strike against major game makers, which recently resulted in a tentative agreement. The issue of AI, specifically generative AI, has been a contentious topic in the games industry, with figures like Hideo Kojima and the head of a horse MMO discussing it.
Yoko Taro's writing style is described as slow but "sneaky" enough to avoid consequences. His comments about the future of games and AI may not sit well with his producer, Yosuke Saito, who reportedly became angry when Taro claimed his predictions about the future are almost always wrong.
Taro's comments about the future of games and AI have been expressed before. In a previous video, he discussed his usually secretive writing process. This secrecy is a common theme in Taro's work, with his views on AI in games being no exception.
Despite the potential challenges, Taro remains optimistic about future advancements in AI as a means for interactivity to evolve. He believes that these advancements will allow games to be more tailored to the player's preferences, providing a more immersive and personal gaming experience.
Yoko Taro's vision for the future of games and AI interactivity is a fascinating look into the potential directions the industry could take. As AI continues to advance, it will be interesting to see how Taro's predictions play out.
