The "creator" of this "game" is an NFT bro and created an NFT collection with a suspiciously similar name, Plantly. If this "game" actually does come out, it's probably going to be AI-generated NFT garbage, and that's why he's flirting around actually giving any information about the game, because he's hoping to secure sales before anyone realizes what they're actually buying.
It is actually funny if you look at that website. These descriptions are looking sooo much "umm make me umm text umm about my game umm about cats umm also make it cool and umm like business looking" AI used responsibly could be good but most people are not responsible at all. It works like brainrot, sure, you maybe get your work done faster if it is not complicated enough. But after "working" like that for a while, eww, I find it scary. AI bros all are behaving the same, saying vague shit about automatization, revolution, next gen and other buzzwords while not even being able to make basic creative work and believing that AI will be some kind of tech-jesus and make everyone rich. Very sad.
It makes zero sense, they say it’s an mmo and they have super dramatic music but all they’ve showed is cats just jumping around? My guess honestly, I’d be surprised if there was any gameplay at all and not just NFTs.
@@WhyAreyouhere-o8p Exactly this. I've seen a lot of good creators out there with so little views and notice, and it just makes me sad because they quit when they deserve so much. If anyone sees good work, please reblog/retweet/etc.
How on earth did anyone actually think people wouldn’t notice it was Ai, especially Game Awards you’d think they’d understand negative PR from showing Ai (or if they didn’t notice it was Ai, at least how trash it looks) Edit: okay the trailer might not be Ai, but the whole website for the game is still Ai, so my point about negative PR still stands
batter question how can you win a game award with only a trailer yet no game and not even news on the game at all. dude i know dustborn & wukong from this year but this game how can you call it a game where you have a trailer only how dues that work..
but.. the trailer isnt AI. The furthest we are with AI is that cocoacola add, and thats FAAAAAAR from reaching the kind of expressive acting tha cats do. And the trailer is not suspiciously smooth like AI videos. IM super certain this was animated by a junior animator.
the creator of the game says there is no ai included in the game at all- yeah right lmao. the cats look like they got ripped from the ai cat images on google, the whiskers on some of them merge into the fur, and the game description sounds like it was written by chat gpt. i also doubt that nfts aren't included, from the way the cat's portraits are made- theres no individuality to the poses, making it feel copy-paste like nfts do. y'all, don't buy into this weird ass game
In the Steam page there's a gif preview of the game with a bunch of women posing in random outfits, and the company has been shown to dabble in virtual clothes nonsense. There has to be some sort of NFT connection that they can plausibly deny.
Its extreamly sketchy. Considering the fact they didnt actually say what type of game it would be, or atleast its genre. I've never seen an actual game dev, release a demo that is non-informative only an animation. And the picture with the cat on the rug and some sort of blanket or whatever on them- the cat is basically melting into the rug at the paws (6:24). This is simply shady, and a dumb choice on their part. Choosing to pay 2 very big creators, that cost a lot of money for a single twitter post, and simply threw the money at it, which...at this day and age, people can very easily spot AI, so theyre loosing money cause no one is really going to buy that game and actively pay it. And since there is no info on what the game will be about, it creates no hype. No one is interested in it, because there is nothing to be interested about. Its going to be a hard flop like Concord from Sony. Just this is a smaller company with less money in their budget probably, yet speding a lot. Its going to go out of business soon i would say.
I used to work as a game dev and attended a lot of workshops/shows locally. When a studio or an indie release a game they WILL ALWAYS have genres. Is it tower defense? RPG? MMO? Single shooter? Bcs guess what? Deciding on what type genre you want to make is always, ALWAYS the first thing a dev decides. This "game" doesn't have that. That itself should be a red flag. This is the equivalent of a seamstress trying to sell a clothing just calling it "look a clothing you can wear!" No description if it's a skirt, jacket etc. that's just doesn't make sense. If you encounter a game dev making ad like this, you should avoid them at all costs. It means they're not serious and just there to get your money without actually finishing the game. Especially since it claims to be AAA. no sane person sunk that much money for AAA game with no genre. Also, let's not kid ourselves. We all have eyes and functioning brains here. Those fur are so shit, I'm appalled they try to gaslight ppl saying it's no AI. No 3d modeller look at that and go 'yeah that's legit'.
apparently from everything I have gathered, the 'devs' are coming out saying that this isn't ai and they have no Assocation with NFT's yet it's not the head of this unproven studio its a PR rep speaking on their behalf witch I find bizarre and we don't know who the main person behind this studio is or if they are a real person or not. also, Geoff should be ashamed of himself to put a game like this form an unproven studio that CLEARLY uses ai to some degree while at the same time talking about how the industry is in a dark place with layoffs happening...shameful
My first reaction (while drunk) was "awe this is cute!" but then my friend pointed out how weirdly AI it is and my heart instantly sank. It caught me off guard cuz I wasn't expecting AI in the GAME AWARDS.
Reminds me of a guy who put his AI generated painting in a contest with genuine artists' work. At this point we should just give them their own contests, its unfair to have them compete with genuine artists ._.
@@nardalis4832 Yup, it was an official Pokemon company contest. It's infuriating. I'm an artist and I will, with my full chest, say people who use AI and expect to be welcomed as an artist are in for a rude awakening. We'd much rather see genuine effort. Not this garbage.
The trailer is probably not AI. But the concept art and designs are. It seems like it‘s basically a scam trailer. That‘s what they do they hire cheap gig animators for modelling and animation so they won‘t get clocked. They probably made a ai animation and told the real animators to basically copy it. Explaining the odd things.
Also the designs look mega ai generated. The random fur tufts and bad color choice is very reminiscent of AI floating features. And the cat’s “art” portraits are so obviously ai
The thing with stray too, they motion captured a cat to get its movements down. Thats a game that not only is gorgeous, but has the love a good game deserves
4:46 that happens in actual cats, but the way the face like, recedes and that are very much ai Also ugly ass fur, it looks like worms 6:27 the grass looks like the same stuff as the fur, also longhair cat fur don’t look like that. It looks like HAIR…
I have been following this game from a few other creators. They have found that the person creating this is a crypto person and they had a previous game about gardening that was taken down as it was also made to make crypto.
I'm also really connfused about it, i feel they were human animated but the models and backgrounds are still really sus, the way the camera works and the way the characters are animated feels human, but it dosn't feel well done.
Good thing they said "cat mmo", cause definitely not the most beautiful cat game lol Stray is so much older, but so much more beautiful. The movements on these cats looks AWFUL. And they look so creepy.
This cat at 6:24 is the most AI looking thing I have seen. First off the obvious one is the paws, they look like they're melting into the rug and don't really have any definition and if you notice it actually has TWO sets of front paws towards the chest you can see a weird growth with what looks to be an attempt at the AI to make the cat hold the hydrangeas. Secondly the fur, there are weird tufts on the ears and on the left of the cats head it looks like there are some misplaced hairs that don't lead anywhere. On the right side of the cats head we have (a lot of) hair that just goes up for some reason rather than just going around (if thats the right word) the head. Along with that if you look at it's tail it just looks like a broom in shape and kind of fades off into the background. Thirdly the glasses and "coat" The glasses don't even match in shape, the arms on them aren't sitting on the cats head correctly for the angle it's at, and the coat lacks any real definition. And finally the cats face and the lower body itself, in the cats face the nose looks odd and so does the mouth with some questionable lines on them. However... the lower body (in between the melting legs) is another issue. Where does it even go? There's no defining features in the fur going down there and its a black void otherwise. Another example thats good is the cat at 7:03 , now I won't pick into this one as much as you can get the point from the first one but if you look at the eyes on this cat you can see a lot of issues. The pupils are just... weird and the left eye has some questionable lines. Another thing is the ears, if you look at how they connect to the head it's well- wrong and I'm not even gonna go into the "clothing" or the "stripes" or whatever those are on it.
Also lets take a jab at the trailer itself 0:45 to 0:52, I'll just say it the humans look fake, the environments look fake, and the buildings look fake. At 0:49 to 0:50 the eyes might have been done by a human but don't have depth to them so it's kind of iffy. Now the trailer might not be AI but honestly it just doesn't look right, even if some things were made by a human/humans it looks like a majority of it might be AI. In my opinion lets say if none of this was AI or perhaps NFT stuff (from the trailer to their website) and was all made by real people I'd straight up say this is not a AAA game and that the developers need more experience to hone in their skills, or that they need to hire developers and artists with the proper experience to make the idea come to life. Even then I don't even understand what the idea is judging by the trailer or the marketing on their website so I think even if it wasn't AI or NFT stuff it's a lost cause for this "game"
This designs were definitely made by ai but was probably 3d modeled and animated by someone afterwards (The errors do feel like actual animation errors so I wouldn't judge it that much, also ai "animation" hasn't improved to this point[so far atleast] so yea) But yeah the designs are most definitely made by ai and there's also most definitely stuff to do with nft's in this
What about the six-fingered woman at the end? Did the animator create a model with six fingers, orrr....? Like dgmw I don't think the whole animation is 100% AI Generated because indeed it cannot do this, but I think it was initially AI Generated and then 'fixed up'.
@@JamesLacroixx I believe the 3D animation is just used as a base reference for AI generation, that's why the whole trailer looks so inconsistent in quality.
This reminds me of that one FNAF “fan game” that only released animations and never an actual game or any actual gameplay which also turned out to be an NFT thing. It’s hard to determine what the game will actually be like from the “trailers”. I’m not sure if AI was involved in that scenario but the two situations seem pretty similar. It’s so disheartening to see when people do this, get people excited for a game that will never come and/or throw out AI generated animations and images and try to pass it off as a game or their own work.
Can we just talk about the designs of the cats? Especially the ones with the pink ear tufts and yellow eared ruffs. That’s a common design choice in Ai
I mean why would steam let them even upload a game that no one knows about who the developer of that game is? I don't think steam would blindedly put something like that. Plus the developer of the game seems to... want to stay anon? Which why? Why not have any social media about your game features or the process? Which it is sus. I would recommend no one try the demo since it might be a trick to hack you.
why would the main person behind catly show their game to a major player at PlayStation yet its not 'lunching' on PlayStation wtf something just isnt adding up
I can only assume he must have some kind of tech ties that would earn him an audience with all these industry bigwigs. That would explain where the money came from to buy a slot at the game awards and the Pokemane and Ninja sponserships. It would make sense, since AI and NFT bros often have ties to big tech startups. And then as for why it's not on Playstation, he was just showing it to him to make it seem more legitimate. The kind of scam 'game' that he's running, if a game ever comes out of this at all, probably won't work on a console with the current tech.
6:25 Part of me wonders if we'll be playing from the perspective of the cat, and the "human" avatar is our "pet" 😆 How the cats look reminds me of those old games where you'd play as a horse, wolf, dragon, etc and could have them with a bunch of different unnatural colors but also with dressup fashion. Was just a hang out in environment type of games/ roleplay games though. So I would have been very curious about this game. If only it wasn't done with AI and/or had nothing to do with NFTs/blockchain, that made my interest go far far away lol. When they said on apple watch, back of mind was like "what if this was a highly rendered Tamagotchi game!?" sigh if only. I miss that era.
the trailer is definitely CGI (most of those animation errors are completely liable to happen and not that uncommon, due to bad rigging/weighting/lighting errors, etc.), potentially AI "enhanced", but too deliberate in some places to be pure AI. but the cat designs are undeniably AI generated, their site had the images up that they were clearly based on and those WERE obvious AI slop.
As a gamedev, this is sad and deeply worrying, especially that the game awards would even ALLOW such slop to be given their platform, and bodes very poorly for the future of the industry. Games should be made with passion and creativity, not like this
So as people who know about AI video have pointed out, its unlikely the trailer was made entirely by AI, unless these people have some top of the line stuff. Which is really annoying because if they have the budget for top of the line AI video why dont they just pay to make a real game? Either way couldnt be more obvious its an NFT grift.
The most corporate tech bro game I’ve ever seen. They don’t even realize the box they fit in. No shame. It’s painfully obvious what their objective is and how little they’ll care of consumers interests. These guys are painfully on top of their world idk how they don’t wake up in the morning feeling embarrassment at scalping game dev.
I had a heated debate with my partner about this "game". I told him that the website is heavily loaded with AI images and as long as they do not provide any sustainable proof of it not being AI. My opinion shall remain unchanged. Fun thing, they recently changed their website to now showcase the early gameplay. Regardless of it al, it is still a gigantic red flag to me and this does make me question where we draw the line of involving AI in our day to day life. Are we going to need to get used to this? Honestly I rather not. Using AI to save lives is awesome I shall support that, but using AI to destroy the creative process...no thank you.
A lot of games have at least a BIT of gameplay in their trailer. Seems fishy. They give a screenshot of the game in one of the articles but couldn’t put it on their trailer released on Game Awards?
Okay I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that there's gonna be a Kickstarter for this game and then the devs just run off with the money and the game is never seen again. And yeah it's all too confusing I bet it's at LEAST 50% AI imo
Its possible they made the models using ai (iffy tho as its not that great feels like it would be more work to use it to do the models than just modeling it yourself), and pictures. But that trailer, i cant see it. The ai video generation really is not that good, unless they have some secret model we havent seen. Personally it feels like its just gonna mine coins or info while being a extremely unfair collectathon gatcha styled game.
not only the images are ai, the marketing is ai, the development is ai, the company is ai, there's no humans ai came up with the idea and his linkedin page is gone because he was ai
you can just see the classic AI image texture on the website. the demo looked real but the website really sets off my spidey senses. edit: okay yeah the fur by the corner of the eyes is floating
People trying to defend this "game" - come on, this is not even funny. Today's cinema world and "AAA" gaming world looks like it looks just because of no-brain sheeps consoomers. I personally stopped watching big movies and playing big "AAA" games YEARS ago and so many people are still either completely brainwashed or now acting surprised when every next movie and game is complete failure made 100% for $$$ and only for that. I fully understand that everyone tries to benefit somehow but this is just disgusting to me how rotten to the core is capitalistic system now. I remember when creators had actual decency and were listening to the critique if their creation failed because if you CARE about something, you obviously want it to thrive and grow, not just get $$$ asap asap and give people unfinished product or worse...not give any product at all or lie about what you create. THIS - IS - SCAMMING simple as that. People who blindly consume and even go to ABSURD heights to defend these kind of salesmen because they are not worthy to be called "creatives" or "devs" to me. Why suddenly people stopped giving a damn thing about anything? But anyways, commenting on this Catly "game"... This is so obviously AI generated crap, SURELY done using stolen art (cus obviously) and REEKING of AI filth. Many of things that are evidently AI were said in the video already. I am not even mad at the moment just ashamed that game awards just agreed to promote this stinky "game" out of nowhere. I guess I rather have ubisoft than some random-out of nowhere- scammy - ai-nft-crypto fan...studio...whatever. How many evidence people need? Trailer not having any kind of gameplay? check $$$ making aspect only? check Ugly skins? check Website being super vague about the product? check Descriptions being ugly generated result of someone telling chat-gpt to "make cool professional looking info for the game about cats"? I can't even do this anymore. I am not even artist and I still find offended by this AI abomination. I sometimes have fun watching AI-generated memes because they are random chaos and you can have as many mistakes or bugs as you wish, that is even better in this case. But in any other case when AI is used to completely make something useful 100% by itself, it just fails miserably. Anyone trying to convinve me that "but it can make shit for you" - Sure, it can make shit, it could be compared to ordering super fast food and completely rely on it and trust that your food was prepared with care...yup, at this point you should see the problem. Sure, if having no choice I could order AI to do something fast cus its fast. Maybe the result will be decent looking enough that I can use it at the moment and not vomit instantly. Sure, it has the uses when doing very monotone and easy work that just takes time and thats it. NO, it has NO uses in creative field at all and should be fucking banned months ago in field such as art for being operated on STOLEN assets. Any ai model is made useless instant moment you would ask it to operate 100% legally, I mean without stealing shit. Any ai model is also made useless if you ask it to actually do more complex work, that requires precise, correct, quality-tested result. Anybody thinking AI is at this moment able to do that is simply insane or brainwashed to the point that you look at this trailer thinking "wow, this is actually cool!!!!" Just start asking questions or try looking with more scepticism at the things that are around you. The only reason whole market today, games or movies or whatever dropped in quality is because they can do it, people are in general lazy and if you can do work without effort, why not? It is not like these kind of studios want to create something because they simply are passionate about it. There are exceptions of course. For example Baldur's Gate 3 did fantastic work and Larians well deserve every praise, the difference in quality is absolutely devastating if you compare it to for example Failguard. AI is not only NOT a progress and it does not improve quality of people's life, it actually corrupted entire markets and destroyed communities. Frankly, AI is not to blame, AI is just super convenient tool to scam and grift, if you are absolute human trash and have 0 concerns about other people in general, in this case it is revolutionary, I guess. Shame but I suspect AI overthrow is not that bad. People just showed complete irresponsibility and carelessness, again. We are sadly not ready yet for having something like "thinking" artificial intelligence, I have no idea why so many people seem to believe that AI is some kind of god tier invention openly availible to everyone and in few months we will all be super rich and connected to VR having fun all day I mean, sure, I guess we can trust that in the glorious late-game capitalism rich people suddenly will all agree that goodness of humanity is our goal and we now build cyberpunk together. Until now, almost everyone having money and power proved to use them to be even richer and stronger and if you can do it by making some other people's life a bit worse, sure, why not? This time we have supercomputers so for some reason I guess it changes everything. I mean...it maybe COULD be revolutionary but not in our capitalistic society. If we actually invent supergod AI, it will surely be put to good use - I mean, if that means making more money, huh. I actually hope we will have rogue AI going insane, at least end of the world will be funny..
And here we are... with another "Palworld" situation... Remember that people said Pals were ripped from 3D assets from Pokemon and even only one artist did 100 pals in month using AI ? ... Even some real 3D artist said that those models are not AI, since right now, even with powerful AI tools you can't do a fluid animation like that. It's the style in the video that looks "weird" but is not AI. Is just an uncanny style that gives people the sensation of something is weird.
But what exactly is the game even about. If they made it they can show concept art and progress photos for the animation. It's quite simple to disprove. It's just odd looking cats with no context or anything. What exactly is the game? Until they give more info it will continue to be scrutinized
Either way, this is a scam for sure. A lot of their images are definitely ai even if the video isn't. They have a bunch of money out of nowhere. They made plantly before which was an ai game with crypto and nfts and are not transparent about that fact. Palworld had games prior to it and they modified it into palworld so they had comparable experience and skill. Catly wants you to believe its tied to nothing, people have no background, and its going ti be on the apple watch and not playstation at all. Scam is written all over it. It doesn't add up and they are hiding things on purpose. Lack of transparency is a red flag.
@@novapark5788 In my opinion looks like a Gacha game to get custom accesories for your cats by purchasing lootboxes or doing missions at day. The idea that it will run in the apple watch gives you the context of no complex gameplay but only menus to dress and interact with your cats.
@@squirrel670 I'll give you an example of an "scammy" game that was showed 4 years ago by an unknow chinese company. Black Myth: Wukong. In that time everybody though it was just premade footage and not even a finished game and more because that companie only did mobile games and didn't have the "capability to do a triple A game". As I response in other comment, This looks like a gacha game, you will only interact with your cat, dress it and that's all. The rest of the video is just to show you the "aesthetic" of the game.
@@novapark5788It reminds me a lot of Cyberpunk's first trailer. There's many games that only show you the aesthetic of the game, specially when they are still in development. It's the same situation here. I didn't see anyone calling Cyberpunk a scam. Cuz it ain't. Both games just wanted to show the world's aesthetic with the trailer and use it as promotion material. Nothing more. People are digging too much into it and making everything a conspiracy when there is nothing scammy about the game itself. At least, not yet. And the fact that one of the developers likes crypto and NFTs or whatever does not ban them from wanting to work on a videogame totally separated from that. I think people are too quick to blame others, in this case the game, when they see everyone else is doing it without questioning much.
Those images were NFTs. Especially since the creator is a crypto bro and had to specify there's "no NFTs" when no one was talking about that, proves this will be another AI generated NFT game.
I have nothing to say about the site it was ai af but the animation looked handmade tomke Maybe the models were ai but I thing the "ear shrinking" was actually the paint on shadow inside of the ear and the feet didnt disappear I think they toom the models and stuff from ai but seeing people saying this ai while it is not kinda scary (talking only about the animation)
If it’s not AI then these game devs have never been on planet earth. They’ve only heard the concept of cats from internet memes and vague postcards, they’ve never seen one for the live outside our universe and for some reason we’re able to transmit their wacky ass game to Earth by some punishment of god.
I think the apple watch is because these devs are like Dune messiah's tleilaxu, they aways have a small window for theur victims to escape, the escape route is thinking "waut huh apple watch?"
I think it's more likely that the trailer was made by a single animator who didn't research how cats move. The rest of the game and website is AI though.
I disagree, but I think genAI assets and GenAI imagery and generation should be banned. I’m just saying this because even Klaus (movie) and SpiderVerse have AI of some kind in there and it would make technological advancement for art less possible and stilted and would cost even more money (to make up for the effects) and time for things to come out. We don’t live in a patient society anymore.
First, the trailer is CGI. 3D art is not perfect, and the errors can be attributed to it. Second, countless games use AI. Probably the most known functions of it is enemies. Numerous NPCs in videogames need it to function and interact with the player at all.
I agree with the other commenters. A lot of people live under rocks and think everything under the sun is somehow “new”. GenAI is becoming an issue in its current state. But AI itself has been around for a while in every industry including the creative industry. I can’t think of a single game that’s been released in the last 10 years that hasn’t at least used it for NPC’s. Even indie creatives have been utilizing it as a tool more. As with most things you just have people who abuse it and throw ethics out the window. Banning it is pointless because the same sentiment was directed towards every modern technology we have now. Cars, computers, phones. We just have to adapt.
4:44 cats eyes do act like this its to get more light as the eyes close pupils dilate in response to light stimulation. If you look at your own cats pupils you will see they do the exact same thing. Also some of the behaviour you say cats don't do there are plenty of UA-cam and TikTok video's of cats just randomly sliding of things ( stair's, sofa's and stuff ) and of them jumping and randomly just eating dirt because they miss judged it ( my boy has missed a jump that was barely a foot and hit the floor ). Also the texture of fur varies from cat breed to breed some breeds have course hair like the type in the model and the vanishing eye lashes is due to the top part of the page being fuzzy and fading out (its rendered to look like that). Also at 3:36 you can see the back leg of the kitten as it jumps if you follow the line of the back foot it makes an L and you see the back of the leg sticking out from behind the front foot ( cats foot joints are at the hock and knee so the foot folding back is correct ). Cats also don't drop there legs until there ready to land because it softens the landing which is what the kitten does plus kittens aren't as coordinated as adult cats. Also you can see the outline of the white part of the ear at 4:09 but barely because of the rendering and the slow down your actually distorting the frame rate as you slow it down which is coursing the weird lines your seeing.
I heard about this on gaming channel and there too apple watch was mentioned and people were speculating that how the heck it can be played on apple watch. And it most likely is some AI generated graphics. Another thing that some gamers are speculating that devs have connections to nfts and that how much gameplay will have stuff to do with that and is is one of those "games" that in reality mines cryptos etc on your machine. Valve isn't supporting that nor it support scammer games and most recent addition was that they demand that game devs deliver stuff that they have promised to deliver, it won't be much delayed and that devs include info and solid dates when releases are. On those fashion items look like generated that make no absolute sense and take this from profession as cloth maker. And as someone with eyes for details and one foot in 3D and models seen on trailer don't really look like usual 3D models. If that's somehow scammy... it won't have space in Valve. Not for long anyways. I also think that it might not be hyped well as AI is involved. -And if it is, we could start being sus about bought likes, following and hype.
i doubt the 3D animation is ai. im a 3D artist and to me that doesnt look like AI at all. They definitely use AI on the website, but not in the video. I think people commonly associate vibrant and colorful with AI generated images. The vague nature of the video, lack of real gameplay, and poor reputation/scammy appearence doesnt help, so people default to saying its all AI. The video seems far too consistent to be AI, and the fur patterns definitely look like something 3D software would generate. Not to mention that in the screenshots you can literally see the polygons and where 3D models intersect sometimes. Some of the shots in the animation are also too clean for AI, such as the concrete plates falling onto the building
Tbf a lot of animators be making these types of low quality animations with "high quality" renders, I do think they added ai to it tho definitely and the website image def was made w ai
bro, when the kitten jumped, even though it doesn't look so realistic in the animation, that doesn't mean it's ai generated because you can do the same in 3D animation
I dont think the animation/trailer made by ai, but the models for sure. Generative Ai still sucks when it comes to video-generation, if the trailer was generated we would have immediately noticed. So we can be sure some poor soul had to animate those Ai generated slob models
It looks very Ai too me especially the cats furr and how they move its quite odd.... I really enjoy watching your videos they always brighten up my day
Im pretty good at telling whats ai and whats not, and its most likley not ai, the fur and stuff arent mixing into eachother, Orrrr its a really good ai, put my opinion, no, not ai.
This exactly shows that people can no longer differentiate what is AI and what is not. Look, I'm not defending this supposed game, it's definitely a scam. BUT... The trailer is a 100% CGI rendered animation. Except for the images that float at the end, which are definitely AI. It means you are pointing out inconsistencies and errors in real people's work and accusing the video of being AI. At some point, real artists were involved in this project, the CGI artists who made this trailer. And they probably have nothing to do with the game, they were just hired to make the trailer. I'll tell you how far this will go. Absolutely everything will raise questions for now on. In a few months, you will make a video exposing an "Allegedly" AI artist, you will zoom in on his arts, you will point out the inconsistencies and errors of the "AI", you will profit from this video by embarrassing just another "AI bro". But this "AI bro" will prove that he is a real artist who draws his own art. You may even be convinced the first time, you will apologize to him, because after all you are human, and you make mistakes sometimes. But then, a few months later, you'll make the same mistake. And again, and again, and again. The Internet will become a hostile place for new real artists, not only because the AI bros try to diminish them, but because even the artists themselves will distrust these new artists, and it will become a nightmare trying to grow on the Internet with their art. At the end of the day, the only people affected by the artists' war against AI will be the artists themselves. Do you know why? Because the AI bros don't give a sh*t about it, it doesn't affect them, they're going to keep doing their AI sh*t, no matter how much you protest, no matter how much you yell or try to embarrass them, it won't affect them. This war will only harm you, artists. AI is a powerful tool, which could help you too, but you haven't embraced it and learned how to deal with it, and the few of you who have truly tried to do this, who have used AI to improve or be faster in their art, even in the most subtle way, were ridiculed and crucified by you, artists. One day you will realize that AI was never a threat to you artists. And when you realize it, the damage will have already been done.
Well presented and good info. This is definitely AI slop, no doubt in my mind. One tiny nitpick though: "beau" is pronounced like "bow" (the weapon). Blame the French for that one.
The trailer look like it could be a video made by beginners in 3D art that maybe used Ai to help "correct" what they've done and made it look "more pretty". The cats look likes they could be 3D model but they have a pretty basic fur simulation, their rig look incorrect since the legs articulations do not look properly placed and if anyone was responsible for the animation they didn't do their homework. The composition and decor are basic and tell nothing. Maybe it is full AI but i think it could also be the case. Wich would not make this any better since its advertised as a triple A game. Even if you are new in the industry with a junior level you're supposed to have a more experienced lead that correct your mistake and guide you so you can produce a correct storyboard, model, simulation, animation etc.. that look professional and align with the quality expected. If the trailer is telling something its that the game is gonna be a cashgrab scam that is not interested in the slightest to offer actual quality to their potential customers. Its like they prefer to feed you shiny glitter because it look pretty even if its sh*t for you rather than putting time and effort to serve you a well prepared meal made with love.
Ok so fully belive this game is ai, or at the very least its a game thats going to be nft based, but @ 4:56 the pupils changing shape is actually normal for any cat blinking, but doesnt discount the fact the cat is probably ai generated also at 6:23 the cats paws legit blend in with the "grass" below it, which is a common mistake ai makes where it blends similar looking parts together
I thought they were trying to emulate the curly wirey fur of like a Devon or Cornish Rex but their facial fur is pretty much the same as a normal cat, just shorter 😂
The "creator" of this "game" is an NFT bro and created an NFT collection with a suspiciously similar name, Plantly. If this "game" actually does come out, it's probably going to be AI-generated NFT garbage, and that's why he's flirting around actually giving any information about the game, because he's hoping to secure sales before anyone realizes what they're actually buying.
It is actually funny if you look at that website. These descriptions are looking sooo much "umm make me umm text umm about my game umm about cats umm also make it cool and umm like business looking" AI used responsibly could be good but most people are not responsible at all. It works like brainrot, sure, you maybe get your work done faster if it is not complicated enough. But after "working" like that for a while, eww, I find it scary. AI bros all are behaving the same, saying vague shit about automatization, revolution, next gen and other buzzwords while not even being able to make basic creative work and believing that AI will be some kind of tech-jesus and make everyone rich. Very sad.
Bro I HATE the -ly naming trend so much. Lunch-ly, Cat-ly
@@silverthatrandomdragon5509 SAME it feels so corporate 😭
From the trailer it felt like it's gonna have NFTs
The trailer makes me so confused, what's the game even supposed to be????😭
They had another game in the past that was on the Blockchain with crypto and everything with AI involved, the name of it was Plantly.
It makes zero sense, they say it’s an mmo and they have super dramatic music but all they’ve showed is cats just jumping around?
My guess honestly, I’d be surprised if there was any gameplay at all and not just NFTs.
The worst brands end in ly
Fr I'm lowkey giggling bro why are the cats just flopping around what is this even about
@@sepehrdad they're apparently supposed to be "hyper realistic" and I don't mean with how they look because they said it's a game for cat lovers
The passion is gone. People want to make easy and fast money without moving a single finger nowadays. I am depressed.
Passion Projects still exist, even if rare now.
It affects the people who work their butts off and they don’t get noticed when doing anything
@ Sadly yes. But not always! Look at things like terraria, going strong for 13 years and full of creator passion!
…passion. *stares at poo block*
@@WhyAreyouhere-o8p Exactly this. I've seen a lot of good creators out there with so little views and notice, and it just makes me sad because they quit when they deserve so much. If anyone sees good work, please reblog/retweet/etc.
well people learn from Gaba how to make money by giving falls promises
like HL3 who i don't even care if the game ever come out..
How on earth did anyone actually think people wouldn’t notice it was Ai, especially Game Awards you’d think they’d understand negative PR from showing Ai (or if they didn’t notice it was Ai, at least how trash it looks)
Edit: okay the trailer might not be Ai, but the whole website for the game is still Ai, so my point about negative PR still stands
batter question how can you win a game award with only a trailer yet no game and not even news on the game at all.
dude i know dustborn & wukong from this year but this game how can you call it a game where you have a trailer only how dues that work..
The trailer isn't AI though.
but.. the trailer isnt AI. The furthest we are with AI is that cocoacola add, and thats FAAAAAAR from reaching the kind of expressive acting tha cats do. And the trailer is not suspiciously smooth like AI videos. IM super certain this was animated by a junior animator.
@@vytah its ai. have u ever heard of ai videos?
@@Thinkfree4me It's plausible that it was first animated by a person, but some ai filter was thrown over it or something similar to that
the creator of the game says there is no ai included in the game at all- yeah right lmao. the cats look like they got ripped from the ai cat images on google, the whiskers on some of them merge into the fur, and the game description sounds like it was written by chat gpt. i also doubt that nfts aren't included, from the way the cat's portraits are made- theres no individuality to the poses, making it feel copy-paste like nfts do. y'all, don't buy into this weird ass game
They also claim they have no association with NFTs, despite people doing research and finding out they already made an NFT game about gardening.
In the Steam page there's a gif preview of the game with a bunch of women posing in random outfits, and the company has been shown to dabble in virtual clothes nonsense. There has to be some sort of NFT connection that they can plausibly deny.
oh yeah there's defo NFTs in it, or at least associated with it. Their website has cat clothes collections but they are all spinning 3d models.
Its extreamly sketchy. Considering the fact they didnt actually say what type of game it would be, or atleast its genre. I've never seen an actual game dev, release a demo that is non-informative only an animation. And the picture with the cat on the rug and some sort of blanket or whatever on them- the cat is basically melting into the rug at the paws (6:24). This is simply shady, and a dumb choice on their part. Choosing to pay 2 very big creators, that cost a lot of money for a single twitter post, and simply threw the money at it, which...at this day and age, people can very easily spot AI, so theyre loosing money cause no one is really going to buy that game and actively pay it. And since there is no info on what the game will be about, it creates no hype. No one is interested in it, because there is nothing to be interested about. Its going to be a hard flop like Concord from Sony. Just this is a smaller company with less money in their budget probably, yet speding a lot. Its going to go out of business soon i would say.
I used to work as a game dev and attended a lot of workshops/shows locally.
When a studio or an indie release a game they WILL ALWAYS have genres. Is it tower defense? RPG? MMO? Single shooter? Bcs guess what? Deciding on what type genre you want to make is always, ALWAYS the first thing a dev decides.
This "game" doesn't have that. That itself should be a red flag. This is the equivalent of a seamstress trying to sell a clothing just calling it "look a clothing you can wear!" No description if it's a skirt, jacket etc. that's just doesn't make sense.
If you encounter a game dev making ad like this, you should avoid them at all costs. It means they're not serious and just there to get your money without actually finishing the game.
Especially since it claims to be AAA. no sane person sunk that much money for AAA game with no genre.
Also, let's not kid ourselves.
We all have eyes and functioning brains here. Those fur are so shit, I'm appalled they try to gaslight ppl saying it's no AI. No 3d modeller look at that and go 'yeah that's legit'.
It's so AI. They didn't even write the description properly. That's not a game description it's just a mush of words
AIs don't generate mushes of words. AI would generate a corporate, overly formal paragraph full of long proper sentences.
@@vytah ai can generate both
@@vytah you haven’t messed with ai enough 😂
ChatGPT write me game description of cat MMO
apparently from everything I have gathered, the 'devs' are coming out saying that this isn't ai and they have no Assocation with NFT's yet it's not the head of this unproven studio its a PR rep speaking on their behalf witch I find bizarre and we don't know who the main person behind this studio is or if they are a real person or not. also, Geoff should be ashamed of himself to put a game like this form an unproven studio that CLEARLY uses ai to some degree while at the same time talking about how the industry is in a dark place with layoffs happening...shameful
I'd rather make a cat in Ponytown and play that, not this AI slop.
at least you might be able to make a decent cat in ponytown😭🙏
My first reaction (while drunk) was "awe this is cute!" but then my friend pointed out how weirdly AI it is and my heart instantly sank. It caught me off guard cuz I wasn't expecting AI in the GAME AWARDS.
Reminds me of a guy who put his AI generated painting in a contest with genuine artists' work. At this point we should just give them their own contests, its unfair to have them compete with genuine artists ._.
There's always something that happens at TGA that reveals Geoff as the world's biggest sellout
@@nardalis4832 Yup, it was an official Pokemon company contest. It's infuriating. I'm an artist and I will, with my full chest, say people who use AI and expect to be welcomed as an artist are in for a rude awakening. We'd much rather see genuine effort. Not this garbage.
It looks like a cat nft game
PFFFT- i though we were already past the NFT phase
@@girl.in.a.fursuitu'd be surprised, i mean people still even fall for crypto scams from silly influencers
6:18 - 7:06
If ts an ai nft game I will give up on society
The trailer is probably not AI. But the concept art and designs are. It seems like it‘s basically a scam trailer. That‘s what they do they hire cheap gig animators for modelling and animation so they won‘t get clocked. They probably made a ai animation and told the real animators to basically copy it. Explaining the odd things.
Also the designs look mega ai generated. The random fur tufts and bad color choice is very reminiscent of AI floating features.
And the cat’s “art” portraits are so obviously ai
I got the coke ai ad right before the video 😭
💀
The thing with stray too, they motion captured a cat to get its movements down. Thats a game that not only is gorgeous, but has the love a good game deserves
4:46 that happens in actual cats, but the way the face like, recedes and that are very much ai
Also ugly ass fur, it looks like worms
6:27 the grass looks like the same stuff as the fur, also longhair cat fur don’t look like that. It looks like HAIR…
That thing is NOT going to come out, zero chance
I have been following this game from a few other creators. They have found that the person creating this is a crypto person and they had a previous game about gardening that was taken down as it was also made to make crypto.
These crypto azzholes are a problem.
New very realistic cat game! Features : sleeping all day, eating, vomiting.
I was confused abt the trailer bc it looks like animation, they could have been really animated but the characters and backgrounds are made with ai
I'm also really connfused about it, i feel they were human animated but the models and backgrounds are still really sus, the way the camera works and the way the characters are animated feels human, but it dosn't feel well done.
stop calling it "art" call it "SLOP". Because it has no soul, only greed.
Good thing they said "cat mmo", cause definitely not the most beautiful cat game lol Stray is so much older, but so much more beautiful. The movements on these cats looks AWFUL. And they look so creepy.
This cat at 6:24 is the most AI looking thing I have seen. First off the obvious one is the paws, they look like they're melting into the rug and don't really have any definition and if you notice it actually has TWO sets of front paws towards the chest you can see a weird growth with what looks to be an attempt at the AI to make the cat hold the hydrangeas. Secondly the fur, there are weird tufts on the ears and on the left of the cats head it looks like there are some misplaced hairs that don't lead anywhere. On the right side of the cats head we have (a lot of) hair that just goes up for some reason rather than just going around (if thats the right word) the head. Along with that if you look at it's tail it just looks like a broom in shape and kind of fades off into the background. Thirdly the glasses and "coat" The glasses don't even match in shape, the arms on them aren't sitting on the cats head correctly for the angle it's at, and the coat lacks any real definition. And finally the cats face and the lower body itself, in the cats face the nose looks odd and so does the mouth with some questionable lines on them. However... the lower body (in between the melting legs) is another issue. Where does it even go? There's no defining features in the fur going down there and its a black void otherwise.
Another example thats good is the cat at 7:03 , now I won't pick into this one as much as you can get the point from the first one but if you look at the eyes on this cat you can see a lot of issues. The pupils are just... weird and the left eye has some questionable lines. Another thing is the ears, if you look at how they connect to the head it's well- wrong and I'm not even gonna go into the "clothing" or the "stripes" or whatever those are on it.
Also lets take a jab at the trailer itself 0:45 to 0:52, I'll just say it the humans look fake, the environments look fake, and the buildings look fake. At 0:49 to 0:50 the eyes might have been done by a human but don't have depth to them so it's kind of iffy. Now the trailer might not be AI but honestly it just doesn't look right, even if some things were made by a human/humans it looks like a majority of it might be AI. In my opinion lets say if none of this was AI or perhaps NFT stuff (from the trailer to their website) and was all made by real people I'd straight up say this is not a AAA game and that the developers need more experience to hone in their skills, or that they need to hire developers and artists with the proper experience to make the idea come to life. Even then I don't even understand what the idea is judging by the trailer or the marketing on their website so I think even if it wasn't AI or NFT stuff it's a lost cause for this "game"
This designs were definitely made by ai but was probably 3d modeled and animated by someone afterwards
(The errors do feel like actual animation errors so I wouldn't judge it that much, also ai "animation" hasn't improved to this point[so far atleast] so yea)
But yeah the designs are most definitely made by ai and there's also most definitely stuff to do with nft's in this
What about the six-fingered woman at the end? Did the animator create a model with six fingers, orrr....?
Like dgmw I don't think the whole animation is 100% AI Generated because indeed it cannot do this, but I think it was initially AI Generated and then 'fixed up'.
@@JamesLacroixx I believe the 3D animation is just used as a base reference for AI generation, that's why the whole trailer looks so inconsistent in quality.
@@zect556 That may well also be the case
This reminds me of that one FNAF “fan game” that only released animations and never an actual game or any actual gameplay which also turned out to be an NFT thing. It’s hard to determine what the game will actually be like from the “trailers”. I’m not sure if AI was involved in that scenario but the two situations seem pretty similar. It’s so disheartening to see when people do this, get people excited for a game that will never come and/or throw out AI generated animations and images and try to pass it off as a game or their own work.
Are you referring to Candyland? :0
I'm calling it now, this slop is just Alien Meows rebranded.
Can we just talk about the designs of the cats? Especially the ones with the pink ear tufts and yellow eared ruffs. That’s a common design choice in Ai
I mean why would steam let them even upload a game that no one knows about who the developer of that game is? I don't think steam would blindedly put something like that. Plus the developer of the game seems to... want to stay anon? Which why? Why not have any social media about your game features or the process? Which it is sus. I would recommend no one try the demo since it might be a trick to hack you.
Yes they do lol
why would the main person behind catly show their game to a major player at PlayStation yet its not 'lunching' on PlayStation wtf something just isnt adding up
I can only assume he must have some kind of tech ties that would earn him an audience with all these industry bigwigs. That would explain where the money came from to buy a slot at the game awards and the Pokemane and Ninja sponserships. It would make sense, since AI and NFT bros often have ties to big tech startups. And then as for why it's not on Playstation, he was just showing it to him to make it seem more legitimate. The kind of scam 'game' that he's running, if a game ever comes out of this at all, probably won't work on a console with the current tech.
"Lunching"

2:11 ah yes, MMOMMOMMO games
100% AI and 99% scam.
Maybe more like, 999% scam
6:25 Part of me wonders if we'll be playing from the perspective of the cat, and the "human" avatar is our "pet" 😆 How the cats look reminds me of those old games where you'd play as a horse, wolf, dragon, etc and could have them with a bunch of different unnatural colors but also with dressup fashion. Was just a hang out in environment type of games/ roleplay games though. So I would have been very curious about this game. If only it wasn't done with AI and/or had nothing to do with NFTs/blockchain, that made my interest go far far away lol.
When they said on apple watch, back of mind was like "what if this was a highly rendered Tamagotchi game!?" sigh if only. I miss that era.
after looking thru the comments i do think it was definitely ai enhanced tho not fully ai generated
Every time I see triple a I just think of a litle running cat going 'AAAH'
the trailer is definitely CGI (most of those animation errors are completely liable to happen and not that uncommon, due to bad rigging/weighting/lighting errors, etc.), potentially AI "enhanced", but too deliberate in some places to be pure AI. but the cat designs are undeniably AI generated, their site had the images up that they were clearly based on and those WERE obvious AI slop.
As a gamedev, this is sad and deeply worrying, especially that the game awards would even ALLOW such slop to be given their platform, and bodes very poorly for the future of the industry. Games should be made with passion and creativity, not like this
So as people who know about AI video have pointed out, its unlikely the trailer was made entirely by AI, unless these people have some top of the line stuff. Which is really annoying because if they have the budget for top of the line AI video why dont they just pay to make a real game?
Either way couldnt be more obvious its an NFT grift.
this is def j gna be a chat room w rare cat avatars u can get
The most corporate tech bro game I’ve ever seen. They don’t even realize the box they fit in. No shame. It’s painfully obvious what their objective is and how little they’ll care of consumers interests. These guys are painfully on top of their world idk how they don’t wake up in the morning feeling embarrassment at scalping game dev.
I had a heated debate with my partner about this "game". I told him that the website is heavily loaded with AI images and as long as they do not provide any sustainable proof of it not being AI. My opinion shall remain unchanged. Fun thing, they recently changed their website to now showcase the early gameplay. Regardless of it al, it is still a gigantic red flag to me and this does make me question where we draw the line of involving AI in our day to day life. Are we going to need to get used to this? Honestly I rather not. Using AI to save lives is awesome I shall support that, but using AI to destroy the creative process...no thank you.
A lot of games have at least a BIT of gameplay in their trailer. Seems fishy. They give a screenshot of the game in one of the articles but couldn’t put it on their trailer released on Game Awards?
this game is a disgrace to cats
Okay I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that there's gonna be a Kickstarter for this game and then the devs just run off with the money and the game is never seen again.
And yeah it's all too confusing I bet it's at LEAST 50% AI imo
Its possible they made the models using ai (iffy tho as its not that great feels like it would be more work to use it to do the models than just modeling it yourself), and pictures. But that trailer, i cant see it. The ai video generation really is not that good, unless they have some secret model we havent seen. Personally it feels like its just gonna mine coins or info while being a extremely unfair collectathon gatcha styled game.
Yup this definitely feel like some suspicious stuff over here
not only the images are ai, the marketing is ai, the development is ai, the company is ai, there's no humans ai came up with the idea and his linkedin page is gone because he was ai
It's an AUTHENTIC CRYPTO game made with AI... 😅
0:35 the way it fell, it looks so fake 😭
5:53 it looks like Grass in the Winter like when its frozen and crunchy or like fake Grass youd have on a football feild
you can just see the classic AI image texture on the website. the demo looked real but the website really sets off my spidey senses.
edit: okay yeah the fur by the corner of the eyes is floating
The website/game is giving me those "digital wardrobe" app thing.
People trying to defend this "game" - come on, this is not even funny. Today's cinema world and "AAA" gaming world looks like it looks just because of no-brain sheeps consoomers. I personally stopped watching big movies and playing big "AAA" games YEARS ago and so many people are still either completely brainwashed or now acting surprised when every next movie and game is complete failure made 100% for $$$ and only for that. I fully understand that everyone tries to benefit somehow but this is just disgusting to me how rotten to the core is capitalistic system now.
I remember when creators had actual decency and were listening to the critique if their creation failed because if you CARE about something, you obviously want it to thrive and grow, not just get $$$ asap asap and give people unfinished product or worse...not give any product at all or lie about what you create. THIS - IS - SCAMMING simple as that. People who blindly consume and even go to ABSURD heights to defend these kind of salesmen because they are not worthy to be called "creatives" or "devs" to me. Why suddenly people stopped giving a damn thing about anything? But anyways, commenting on this Catly "game"...
This is so obviously AI generated crap, SURELY done using stolen art (cus obviously) and REEKING of AI filth. Many of things that are evidently AI were said in the video already. I am not even mad at the moment just ashamed that game awards just agreed to promote this stinky "game" out of nowhere. I guess I rather have ubisoft than some random-out of nowhere- scammy - ai-nft-crypto fan...studio...whatever.
How many evidence people need?
Trailer not having any kind of gameplay? check
$$$ making aspect only? check
Ugly skins? check
Website being super vague about the product? check
Descriptions being ugly generated result of someone telling chat-gpt to "make cool professional looking info for the game about cats"? I can't even do this anymore.
I am not even artist and I still find offended by this AI abomination. I sometimes have fun watching AI-generated memes because they are random chaos and you can have as many mistakes or bugs as you wish, that is even better in this case. But in any other case when AI is used to completely make something useful 100% by itself, it just fails miserably. Anyone trying to convinve me that "but it can make shit for you" - Sure, it can make shit, it could be compared to ordering super fast food and completely rely on it and trust that your food was prepared with care...yup, at this point you should see the problem. Sure, if having no choice I could order AI to do something fast cus its fast. Maybe the result will be decent looking enough that I can use it at the moment and not vomit instantly. Sure, it has the uses when doing very monotone and easy work that just takes time and thats it. NO, it has NO uses in creative field at all and should be fucking banned months ago in field such as art for being operated on STOLEN assets.
Any ai model is made useless instant moment you would ask it to operate 100% legally, I mean without stealing shit.
Any ai model is also made useless if you ask it to actually do more complex work, that requires precise, correct, quality-tested result. Anybody thinking AI is at this moment able to do that is simply insane or brainwashed to the point that you look at this trailer thinking "wow, this is actually cool!!!!"
Just start asking questions or try looking with more scepticism at the things that are around you. The only reason whole market today, games or movies or whatever dropped in quality is because they can do it, people are in general lazy and if you can do work without effort, why not? It is not like these kind of studios want to create something because they simply are passionate about it. There are exceptions of course. For example Baldur's Gate 3 did fantastic work and Larians well deserve every praise, the difference in quality is absolutely devastating if you compare it to for example Failguard. AI is not only NOT a progress and it does not improve quality of people's life, it actually corrupted entire markets and destroyed communities. Frankly, AI is not to blame, AI is just super convenient tool to scam and grift, if you are absolute human trash and have 0 concerns about other people in general, in this case it is revolutionary, I guess. Shame but I suspect AI overthrow is not that bad. People just showed complete irresponsibility and carelessness, again. We are sadly not ready yet for having something like "thinking" artificial intelligence, I have no idea why so many people seem to believe that AI is some kind of god tier invention openly availible to everyone and in few months we will all be super rich and connected to VR having fun all day
I mean, sure, I guess we can trust that in the glorious late-game capitalism rich people suddenly will all agree that goodness of humanity is our goal and we now build cyberpunk together. Until now, almost everyone having money and power proved to use them to be even richer and stronger and if you can do it by making some other people's life a bit worse, sure, why not? This time we have supercomputers so for some reason I guess it changes everything. I mean...it maybe COULD be revolutionary but not in our capitalistic society. If we actually invent supergod AI, it will surely be put to good use - I mean, if that means making more money, huh. I actually hope we will have rogue AI going insane, at least end of the world will be funny..
And here we are... with another "Palworld" situation... Remember that people said Pals were ripped from 3D assets from Pokemon and even only one artist did 100 pals in month using AI ? ... Even some real 3D artist said that those models are not AI, since right now, even with powerful AI tools you can't do a fluid animation like that.
It's the style in the video that looks "weird" but is not AI. Is just an uncanny style that gives people the sensation of something is weird.
But what exactly is the game even about. If they made it they can show concept art and progress photos for the animation. It's quite simple to disprove. It's just odd looking cats with no context or anything. What exactly is the game? Until they give more info it will continue to be scrutinized
Either way, this is a scam for sure. A lot of their images are definitely ai even if the video isn't. They have a bunch of money out of nowhere.
They made plantly before which was an ai game with crypto and nfts and are not transparent about that fact. Palworld had games prior to it and they modified it into palworld so they had comparable experience and skill. Catly wants you to believe its tied to nothing, people have no background, and its going ti be on the apple watch and not playstation at all.
Scam is written all over it. It doesn't add up and they are hiding things on purpose. Lack of transparency is a red flag.
@@novapark5788 In my opinion looks like a Gacha game to get custom accesories for your cats by purchasing lootboxes or doing missions at day. The idea that it will run in the apple watch gives you the context of no complex gameplay but only menus to dress and interact with your cats.
@@squirrel670 I'll give you an example of an "scammy" game that was showed 4 years ago by an unknow chinese company. Black Myth: Wukong. In that time everybody though it was just premade footage and not even a finished game and more because that companie only did mobile games and didn't have the "capability to do a triple A game". As I response in other comment, This looks like a gacha game, you will only interact with your cat, dress it and that's all. The rest of the video is just to show you the "aesthetic" of the game.
@@novapark5788It reminds me a lot of Cyberpunk's first trailer. There's many games that only show you the aesthetic of the game, specially when they are still in development. It's the same situation here. I didn't see anyone calling Cyberpunk a scam. Cuz it ain't. Both games just wanted to show the world's aesthetic with the trailer and use it as promotion material. Nothing more. People are digging too much into it and making everything a conspiracy when there is nothing scammy about the game itself. At least, not yet. And the fact that one of the developers likes crypto and NFTs or whatever does not ban them from wanting to work on a videogame totally separated from that. I think people are too quick to blame others, in this case the game, when they see everyone else is doing it without questioning much.
Cats don’t do that. Ok real but cats don’t look like that either. Like?!😭🙏

"Old man stan" lol
2:31 as a person who owns 6 cats i can safely say they do haha but i get your point
i checked the game on the app store and its literally just images of cats on your watch screen.. nothing cool
Those images were NFTs. Especially since the creator is a crypto bro and had to specify there's "no NFTs" when no one was talking about that, proves this will be another AI generated NFT game.

Maybe the models were ai but I thing the "ear shrinking" was actually the paint on shadow inside of the ear and the feet didnt disappear I think they toom the models and stuff from ai but seeing people saying this ai while it is not kinda scary (talking only about the animation)
If it’s not AI then these game devs have never been on planet earth. They’ve only heard the concept of cats from internet memes and vague postcards, they’ve never seen one for the live outside our universe and for some reason we’re able to transmit their wacky ass game to Earth by some punishment of god.
I think the apple watch is because these devs are like Dune messiah's tleilaxu, they aways have a small window for theur victims to escape, the escape route is thinking "waut huh apple watch?"
I think it's more likely that the trailer was made by a single animator who didn't research how cats move. The rest of the game and website is AI though.
Stray was Filet Mignon compared to this slop
Not only game looks and feels like AI but also the company that presented it.
it needs to be illegal to use AI in any sort of game development
I disagree, but I think genAI assets and GenAI imagery and generation should be banned. I’m just saying this because even Klaus (movie) and SpiderVerse have AI of some kind in there and it would make technological advancement for art less possible and stilted and would cost even more money (to make up for the effects) and time for things to come out. We don’t live in a patient society anymore.
First, the trailer is CGI. 3D art is not perfect, and the errors can be attributed to it.
Second, countless games use AI. Probably the most known functions of it is enemies. Numerous NPCs in videogames need it to function and interact with the player at all.
AI as in AI generated images or videos/textures or smth@@mylo1584
I agree with the other commenters. A lot of people live under rocks and think everything under the sun is somehow “new”. GenAI is becoming an issue in its current state. But AI itself has been around for a while in every industry including the creative industry. I can’t think of a single game that’s been released in the last 10 years that hasn’t at least used it for NPC’s.
Even indie creatives have been utilizing it as a tool more. As with most things you just have people who abuse it and throw ethics out the window. Banning it is pointless because the same sentiment was directed towards every modern technology we have now. Cars, computers, phones. We just have to adapt.
The entire internet getting amnesia about what AI videos look like mere weeks after scoffing at the coca cola AI advert
4:44 cats eyes do act like this its to get more light as the eyes close pupils dilate in response to light stimulation. If you look at your own cats pupils you will see they do the exact same thing.
Also some of the behaviour you say cats don't do there are plenty of UA-cam and TikTok video's of cats just randomly sliding of things ( stair's, sofa's and stuff ) and of them jumping and randomly just eating dirt because they miss judged it ( my boy has missed a jump that was barely a foot and hit the floor ).
Also the texture of fur varies from cat breed to breed some breeds have course hair like the type in the model and the vanishing eye lashes is due to the top part of the page being fuzzy and fading out (its rendered to look like that).
Also at 3:36 you can see the back leg of the kitten as it jumps if you follow the line of the back foot it makes an L and you see the back of the leg sticking out from behind the front foot ( cats foot joints are at the hock and knee so the foot folding back is correct ). Cats also don't drop there legs until there ready to land because it softens the landing which is what the kitten does plus kittens aren't as coordinated as adult cats.
Also you can see the outline of the white part of the ear at 4:09 but barely because of the rendering and the slow down your actually distorting the frame rate as you slow it down which is coursing the weird lines your seeing.
I heard about this on gaming channel and there too apple watch was mentioned and people were speculating that how the heck it can be played on apple watch. And it most likely is some AI generated graphics. Another thing that some gamers are speculating that devs have connections to nfts and that how much gameplay will have stuff to do with that and is is one of those "games" that in reality mines cryptos etc on your machine. Valve isn't supporting that nor it support scammer games and most recent addition was that they demand that game devs deliver stuff that they have promised to deliver, it won't be much delayed and that devs include info and solid dates when releases are. On those fashion items look like generated that make no absolute sense and take this from profession as cloth maker. And as someone with eyes for details and one foot in 3D and models seen on trailer don't really look like usual 3D models. If that's somehow scammy... it won't have space in Valve. Not for long anyways. I also think that it might not be hyped well as AI is involved. -And if it is, we could start being sus about bought likes, following and hype.
i doubt the 3D animation is ai. im a 3D artist and to me that doesnt look like AI at all. They definitely use AI on the website, but not in the video. I think people commonly associate vibrant and colorful with AI generated images. The vague nature of the video, lack of real gameplay, and poor reputation/scammy appearence doesnt help, so people default to saying its all AI. The video seems far too consistent to be AI, and the fur patterns definitely look like something 3D software would generate. Not to mention that in the screenshots you can literally see the polygons and where 3D models intersect sometimes. Some of the shots in the animation are also too clean for AI, such as the concrete plates falling onto the building
Tbf a lot of animators be making these types of low quality animations with "high quality" renders, I do think they added ai to it tho definitely and the website image def was made w ai
Either i animated the intro, or it is ai generated
6:24 The feet merge with the ground… how do people not think this is ai…
Wait i thought Lana rae promoted that bit now I can’t find the video…???-
bro, when the kitten jumped, even though it doesn't look so realistic in the animation, that doesn't mean it's ai generated because you can do the same in 3D animation
I dont think the animation/trailer made by ai, but the models for sure. Generative Ai still sucks when it comes to video-generation, if the trailer was generated we would have immediately noticed. So we can be sure some poor soul had to animate those Ai generated slob models
on the cat blinking gif on the page it has floating fur so yeah this is ai
What do you mean my cats flop around like jello all the time 😂
gta 6 is also realistic and is considered a AAA game, but atleast its not ai and its the reason the game took so long to announce
Alien Meow, or A.I.-lian Meow?!
It looks very Ai too me especially the cats furr and how they move its quite odd.... I really enjoy watching your videos they always brighten up my day
This is so obviously generated 🤣 my good god. Why show this at the game awards.
Im pretty good at telling whats ai and whats not, and its most likley not ai, the fur and stuff arent mixing into eachother,
Orrrr its a really good ai, put my opinion, no, not ai.
I thought the catly demo was pure human incompetancy
Untill the People showed up.
This exactly shows that people can no longer differentiate what is AI and what is not. Look, I'm not defending this supposed game, it's definitely a scam. BUT... The trailer is a 100% CGI rendered animation. Except for the images that float at the end, which are definitely AI.
It means you are pointing out inconsistencies and errors in real people's work and accusing the video of being AI. At some point, real artists were involved in this project, the CGI artists who made this trailer. And they probably have nothing to do with the game, they were just hired to make the trailer.
I'll tell you how far this will go. Absolutely everything will raise questions for now on. In a few months, you will make a video exposing an "Allegedly" AI artist, you will zoom in on his arts, you will point out the inconsistencies and errors of the "AI", you will profit from this video by embarrassing just another "AI bro". But this "AI bro" will prove that he is a real artist who draws his own art. You may even be convinced the first time, you will apologize to him, because after all you are human, and you make mistakes sometimes. But then, a few months later, you'll make the same mistake. And again, and again, and again.
The Internet will become a hostile place for new real artists, not only because the AI bros try to diminish them, but because even the artists themselves will distrust these new artists, and it will become a nightmare trying to grow on the Internet with their art.
At the end of the day, the only people affected by the artists' war against AI will be the artists themselves.
Do you know why? Because the AI bros don't give a sh*t about it, it doesn't affect them, they're going to keep doing their AI sh*t, no matter how much you protest, no matter how much you yell or try to embarrass them, it won't affect them.
This war will only harm you, artists. AI is a powerful tool, which could help you too, but you haven't embraced it and learned how to deal with it, and the few of you who have truly tried to do this, who have used AI to improve or be faster in their art, even in the most subtle way, were ridiculed and crucified by you, artists.
One day you will realize that AI was never a threat to you artists. And when you realize it, the damage will have already been done.
Well presented and good info. This is definitely AI slop, no doubt in my mind. One tiny nitpick though: "beau" is pronounced like "bow" (the weapon). Blame the French for that one.
The trailer look like it could be a video made by beginners in 3D art that maybe used Ai to help "correct" what they've done and made it look "more pretty". The cats look likes they could be 3D model but they have a pretty basic fur simulation, their rig look incorrect since the legs articulations do not look properly placed and if anyone was responsible for the animation they didn't do their homework. The composition and decor are basic and tell nothing.
Maybe it is full AI but i think it could also be the case. Wich would not make this any better since its advertised as a triple A game. Even if you are new in the industry with a junior level you're supposed to have a more experienced lead that correct your mistake and guide you so you can produce a correct storyboard, model, simulation, animation etc.. that look professional and align with the quality expected.
If the trailer is telling something its that the game is gonna be a cashgrab scam that is not interested in the slightest to offer actual quality to their potential customers. Its like they prefer to feed you shiny glitter because it look pretty even if its sh*t for you rather than putting time and effort to serve you a well prepared meal made with love.
Amount of purple and pink made me sick, i love purple and pink but this is TOO MUCH
I'm gonna need to see actual gameplay before believing this is an actual game and not a scam
Ok so fully belive this game is ai, or at the very least its a game thats going to be nft based, but @ 4:56 the pupils changing shape is actually normal for any cat blinking, but doesnt discount the fact the cat is probably ai generated also at 6:23 the cats paws legit blend in with the "grass" below it, which is a common mistake ai makes where it blends similar looking parts together
Kat! you gotta cover the AFK JOURNEY theft controversy!
What happened with them?
@taylorslade8080 the posted ads on TikTok and they basically stile from The Game Company. and from the game Sky The Children of The Light
4:44 crusty fur
I thought they were trying to emulate the curly wirey fur of like a Devon or Cornish Rex but their facial fur is pretty much the same as a normal cat, just shorter 😂
I feel like they used Sora for this trailer
Sora is not capable of making such coherent footage.
