An internal PlayStation character tech demo has leaked, and it’s already causing some restlessness among players. It’s an unusual leak in that we rarely ever see in-development prototypes like these, but The Verge has somehow gotten its hands on a video that shows Sony dabbling into artificial intelligence for game development.
Leaked PlayStation tech demo shows an AI-powered Aloy
Gifs from the video, which has since been hit by a copyright strike, can be found hosted on The Verge. Footage is also circulating on X. It shows an AI-powered version of Horizon franchise protagonist Aloy, who’s talking to players and responding to queries with an AI-generated voice and facial movements as opposed to a real voiceover with motion capture.
The Verge claims that the video also showed AI Aloy within the “full Horizon Forbidden West game,” suggesting that the tech is pretty far advanced.
“This is just a glimpse of what is possible,” says SIE director of software engineering Sharwin Raghoebardajal in the video, leaving players concerned that Sony will be leaning into AI for character development in future games.
It has long been argued that removing real voices and motion capture from characters kills personal touch and immersion, and puts the games industry at risk. Every forum that the video and its gifs are circulating on is full of players expressing concerns.
