The finals thing is especially fucking stupid, when I heard they used ai for the announcer I assumed that meant you could name your teams and the ai announcer would be able to read your unique player made team names. Nope, they needed ai to do the announcer voice because… Who the fuck knows? Like they needed ai to somehow do something less impressive than codsworth saying your name in fallout 4 (making something less impressive than Bethesda is impressive). Its a fun game, but the announcer ai bullshit just always pissed me off with how pointless it was.
I played the finals before launch and i thought the same thing. I assumed it’s so the announcers don’t just repeat the same 4 phrases like in a fifa game, or say things that are more relevant. But they really don’t so i don’t see the point. Arc raiders is the same. You could take out the voice acting completely and it wouldn’t even change all that much.
They only did this because of the backlash.
Absolutely agree. My main thought regarding having AI commentators would mean that it could be reactive and fluid, actually incorpating names and actions in a dynamic manner. But it’s just canned responses on repeat to save paying a human to do it. Before they revealed it was AI, I thought it was bad and stilted on purpose. Like some sort of joke, but it’s just plain bad.
