Krafton, the parent company of Blue Hole, the developer of " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ", is working hard to create new content, and now they are trying to create "virtual humans" - fake and real. animated NPC. By using artificial intelligence and Unreal Engine, we can create realistic effects that are “just like real actors”.
Krafton released a short video on its YouTube channel, showing off the technology it is developing and creating some CGI characters that are as close to real people as possible, calling them "virtual humans." The developers say the CGI characters will be "capable of conveying deep expressions and subtle emotions" and aim to use " hyperrealistic technology to create a digital character that is virtually indistinguishable from the real world." The
technology will be used in its "various projects," including PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and may also be involved in Krafton's other games, including the upcoming horror game The Callisto Protocol. Krafton said it is looking to create "people/entertainers influenced by game characters, esports, and virtuality," and even hopes players will be able to talk directly to these NPCs in the future.
"Dune: Spice Wars" releases the villain Harkonnen family faction introduction
There is finally a new Dune game in more than 20 years. With the development of the strategy game "Dune: Spice Wars" advancing, developer Shiro Games has released some of the series Introduction to the main villain. The Harkonnen family in the movies and games will give players the opportunity to play as ruthless, despicable, dark, and cunning powerful men.
Anyone who has watched the movie "Dune" knows that the movie revolves around the feud between the Atreides family and the Harkonnen family. Although the Atreides family has a positive image, many players will be attracted to the villainous Harkonnen family.
House Harkonnen is a powerful force on the battlefield, but is also prepared to use any dirty tactics available to achieve its goals. They are capable of using shadowy political assassinations or sophisticated espionage outside of combat. House Harkonnen's troops are mindless and fanatical war machines, but little more than cannon fodder to their commanders.
There are five main commanders who may appear in "Dune: The Spice Wars": Baron Harkonnen, Rabban, Pieter de Vries, Feyd-Rautha and Iakin Nefud - the latter two did not appear in the movie, maybe in "Dune" will appear in the sequel.
So far, "Dune: The Spice Wars" has revealed only two factions, Harkonnen and Atreides, but the original work and previous games have provided a wealth of factions - such as the Corino family, the Fremen, etc. Let's wait and see if more factions will join.
