With the emergence of increasingly advanced generative AI tools like Sora 2<\/a> in recent months, the discussion about using the technology in video game development is more relevant than ever. Even some industry veterans like Yoko Taro are predicting that in a few decades, developers might lose their jobs to AI<\/a>. Motoi Okamoto, producer of the Silent Hill series at Konami, shared his own insights on the topic in response to a recent Hideo Kojima interview which has been gaining traction on X. While Kojima suggests the future of game sequels and remakes could potentially be in the hands of AI, Okamoto makes a distinction between sequels that merely bring more of the same, and sequels that innovate upon past entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Silent<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As Kojima explained in his interview with Rolling Stone Brazil<\/a> (courtesy of DualShockers<\/a>), it is much easier to produce sequels and reboots of games and films compared to original content, as they already have a foundation to build upon. It\u2019s also a rather safe move in a commercial sense, given that the works are usually already well known and can easily attract investment. Thus, he predicts that in the future, sequels and remakes are very likely to be made using generative AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Death<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This statement of his made the rounds on the internet in the form of an X post<\/a>, catching the eye of other creative industries professionals and Kojima\u2019s peers. Hase Satoshi, author of science fiction novel BEATLESS, shared his own interpretation<\/a> of the Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator\u2019s statement. \u201cIt\u2019s best to think of Kojima\u2019s statement as a natural extension of the fact that he\u2019s a creator who\u2019s been fighting all his life to create new things while facing the latest technologies. I believe he is telling us that making sequels may earn us money, but they can be easily replaced by AI \u2013 so we should keep trying to make new things instead.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a follow-up post, Motoi Okamoto doubled down on the sentiment, while also emphasizing that it takes more than an AI generated script to create sequels which feel like they\u2019re taking their series in a new direction, instead of just being a simple extension of preexisting material. According to him, AI would never be able to replicate games like Silent Hill f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
