2019After AI backlash, Assassin’s Creed creator says 1666: Amsterdam “won’t be using any AI anymore” and only used it “in conception and pre-production”

Assassin’s Creed godfather Patrice Désilets seemed to have conjured perfection with his new studio Panache’s witchy mystery game 1666: Amsterdam, but then the AI accusations came and turned out to be true.

In the wake of Tim Curry’s tragic passing, many of us have been celebrating his enormous range and incredibly varied career.

Ashley Graham is unfairly seen as one of the more controversial characters in Resident Evil lore due to some clumsily tuned AI during her escort missions in the original Resident Evil 4.
