Panel: Hype Or A Real Force For Games – Where Are We With AI In 2025?
summary
Panelists report concrete wins and limits: an Omdia survey shows ~30% of developers using generative AI, teams cut level‑creation time from 15 days with four people to three days (5x productivity), and some studios ship assets directly to market with an 80% hit rate. Marketing runs up to 500 parallel experiments, runtime NPCs and projects like a procedurally generated “Electric Sheep” game demonstrate new genres, costs like ~$1 for a 5s video today are expected to fall, and IP/siloing plus copyright‑safe models remain core concerns.
