While this is fucking amazing, I'll have to dock him 1 point for every dollar he gave Lego. So final score, roughly -195,000.
Seriously, $200k worth of Legos? Christ.

It's way cheaper to do that era stuff. They still make new clone trooper packs like every year or so.

Really only like the technic ones. I have a lot of them and a few knock off ones too (Modking etc). I would really have loved to build the millennium falcon one though.

If you’re sensitive to latency you’ll probably not like it. I can’t stand latency with streaming games, I can’t even stand the latency of a tv vs a monitor tbh. I just know after experience to only use games natively on your SSD.

I'm always up for improvements on genres that have been forgotten as people were mesmerized by flashy things like 3D, first person perspective, or graphical fidelity.
Pixel art wasn't a necessary choice, but it looks like they're doing it well enough for it to be good.

Sony is working on a prototype AI-powered version of at least one its PlayStation game characters. An anonymous tipster has shared an internal video from Sony’s PlayStation group with The Verge that demonstrates an AI-powered version of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West. After we published this story, the video was pulled from YouTube due to a copyright claim from Muso, a copyrights enforcement company which advertises Sony Interactive Entertainment (aka PlayStation) as a client.
The video is narrated by Sharwin Raghoebardajal, a director of software engineering at Sony Interactive Entertainment who works on video game technology, AI, computer vision, and face technology for Sony’s PlayStation Studios Advanced Technology Group. We watched Raghoebardajal demonstrate an AI-powered version of Aloy that can hold a conversation with a player through voice prompts during gameplay.
Aloy could be seen responding to queries with an AI-powered synthesized voice and facial movements, both in a demo setting and within the full Horizon Forbidden West game. Raghoebardajal makes it clear this is just a prototype that has been developed alongside Guerrilla Games to demonstrate the technology internally at Sony.

The technology demo uses OpenAI’s whisper for speech-to-text, and both GPT-4 and Llama 3 for conversations and decision making. Sony’s has its own internal Emotional Voice Synthesis (EVS) system that it uses for speech generation, according to Raghoebardajal, and audio to face animation is powered by Sony’s own Mockingbird technology.
While the demo is seen running on PC, Sony has also experimented with running parts of this technology directly on PS5 consoles with “little overhead,” according to Raghoebardajal. Sony first demonstrated this internally a year ago, before showing a more advanced version behind closed doors at its Sony Technology Exchange Fair (STEF) in Tokyo in November.
“This is just a glimpse of what is possible,” says Raghoebardajal. This tech demo doesn’t answer the more obvious questions over whether it even makes sense to talk to Aloy when you’re supposed to be playing as her in Horizon Forbidden West, or the impact such a technology could have on voice actors and game developers.
