This is how Virtua Fighter Casts' Looks according to AI

"I tried this on VF2 and VF3 characters, but I think it's way funnier when the source material is more abstract.
I feel like we're may be 10 years away from doing this kind of stuff in realtime on old games."

This is how Virtua Cop (1995) Casts' Looks according to AI

Time for more dumb AI art with Stable Diffusion taking on VIRTUA COP (1995).
This technology is notably bad at drawing hands AND guns, so this should be entertaining.

Actually looks pretty good.

Actually looks pretty good.

Other than this one, yes :



Also it looks like the AI couldn't detect character's age.
Pai looks a lot older here :

This one reminds me of Charlie Sheen a bit.

If the movie was planned and went to comedic approach, I could see Charlie Sheen in it.

Sonic the Hedgehog Movie co-creator Dmitri Johnson forms new media company with John Wick Writer

Sonic the Hedgehog Movie co-creator Dmitri Johnson has teamed up with John Wick writer/creator Derek Kolstad to form the new media company Story Kitchen.
Johnson is the founder of dj2 Entertainment, which specialized in taking beloved game franchises to broader entertainment with the successful Sonic the Hedgehog movies as well as Tomb Raider: The Animated Series for Netflix.
In other words, we can expect to see more video game franchises turned into movies.

It got me thinking yesterday. Given there is now image-generating program that can turn rough pictures into photo-realistic pictures, imagine if you can make a computer program that not only does the same thing but you can give it 3D character models for it to "familiarize" with and design it's own characters with.
Then, you make a whole 3D generated movie with the very least decent graphics. Maybe comparable to Source Filmmaker or something
And with the finish footage, you give the movie to the program that can recognize characters to make each and every frame by frame of the movie look photo realistic.
Like, can you imagine? A photo-realistic movie that's entirely CGI?
And for good measure use voice-synthesizing software like 15.ai so that the audio is done by an AI as well.
There's even AI music making softwear out there as well.

Heck maybe sooner or later, we'll have movies that are entirely AI generated.

I guess that's the future.
Not AI generated, but a photo-realistic movie that's entirely CGI reminds me of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within,
which is personally I'm not fond of it.




AI generated music has been done by Yuzo Koshiro for Streets of Rage 3.
And compared to Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 2, not saying it's bad but let's just say it's not as good as them.

So like... is Sega getting it's own movie studio?

Nah, it's more like a birth of new studio that specializes in video game franchises turned into movies.
