Capcom is trying to adopt new generative AI technologies to reduce game development costs and other issues.Capcom's technical director Kazuki Abe recently introduced some cases with foreign media interviews. Judging from his explanation, Capcom does not seem to use AI to create anything related to gameplay, story or character design.

Abe said one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive parts of game development is coming up with “thousands of unique ideas” to create the game environment.For example, if you want to place a TV in a game, you can’t use the real-life product directly – you have to design a fictional TV from scratch, including the manufacturer’s logo and other details of the TV.Not just TV, there are thousands to tens of thousands of such objects in each game, and developers need to come up with multiple solutions for each object.

In addition, these solutions not only require text descriptions, but also illustrations to convey design concepts to art directors and designers.In other words, it's a huge amount of work.

Abe said he found that there is a way to improve the efficiency of this process, which is to use generative AI to help generate a large number of necessary creativity.Therefore, he developed a system that uses generative AI models such as Gemini Pro, Gemini Flash and Imagen to generate creativity by inputting text, pictures and tables related to game development, and evaluate the quality of creativity based on preset standards, and automaticallyOptimize output.

According to Abe, the Gemini AI model can produce high-quality products in seconds, which is "a major advantage in the rapidly growing gaming industry."Although it is just a prototype for the moment, the system has received high praise from Capcom developers.

Capcom plans to further optimize the system to make it easier to use by the company's external partners.Abe believes that reducing costs by using generative AI will improve the quality of game development, which is beneficial to developers and players.
