Introducing Ubisoft Ghostwriter, an AI tool developed in-house that aims to support our scriptwriters by generating the first draft of our NPC barks - the phrases or sounds made by NPCs when players interact with the game world.

This tool was created hand-in-hand with scriptwriters to create more realistic NPC interactions by generating variations on a piece of dialogue See how our teams will use AI to handle repetitive tasks, and free up time to work on other core game elements.

Ubisoft writing tends to be so generic I doubt anyone will notice the difference anyway.

I do find it funny how Ubisoft love to shout from the rooftops how they are capitalizing on the latest fad asap though lol

Goodbye brute force memes like arrow to the kneee

Might as well get it to write the rest of the formulaic story.

Good, because my immersion of wandering around a plague-infested Manhattan during Christmastime is immediately shattered when I realize virtually every other looter shooting at me for merely looking at them wrong is inexplicably named Alex.

Yet they want to justify raising the price of games to $70. They literally have AI doing near everything in video game development.

Introducing Ubisoft SpeedTower, the followup technology to SpeedTree that allows us to generate thousands of viewpoint towers across the world for players to climb and fill out their map with points of interest

Nothing changes

Assassins Creed 3 Officer enemy type: Oh, rotten luck, old horse!

(Personally, I love the thick Scottish brogue of the Brute type enemies in 3, as they seem quite friendly to Connor, even calling him laddie while theyre trying to murderize him.)

And Ubisoft games somehow managed to become even more soulless
