  "account": "Saber Interactive's upcoming Space Marine 3 game, as well as other titles like Hellraiser, Stuntman, and Turok, will not utilize generative AI in their development, according to Saber CCO and former id Software developer Tim Willits. Willits confirmed this during a Gamescom interview with IGN. However, the studio intends to experiment with generative AI in other projects, such as their Rideshare Stimulator. Willits explained that while they will test AI's effectiveness and public reception, they are prepared to abandon it if it fails to gain traction. He emphasized that it is too early to determine AI's full potential, stating that it will take a few years for the technology to settle and for them to understand its capabilities. Willits also highlighted that team size and overspecialization are significant contributors to the current economic crisis in the gaming industry. Despite this, he remains optimistic, suggesting that the industry will overcome its challenges in time.",
