I don't know. I wasn't there and I'm excited.

I think this puts Epic Games, Nintendo, and the whole lot into a very tough spot if this tech takes off.

I don't see how Unreal Engine, with its voluminous and labyrinthine tomes of impenetrable legacy C++ code, survives this. Unreal Engine is a mess, gamers are unhappy about it, and it's a PITA to develop with. I certainly hate working with it.

Innovator's Dilemma fast approaching the entire gaming industry and they don't even see it coming it's happening so fast.

Exciting that building games could become as easy as having the idea itself. I'm imagining something like VRChat or Roblox or Fortnite, but where new things are simply spoken into existence.

It's absolutely terrifying that Google has this much power.



How so? It's not really by itself being creative yet, no? It sure seems like a game changer but who knows if one can even use this at scale?


I played around with Diamond WM on my 3090 machine. I also ran fast SDXL-turbo and LCM models with ControlNets paired with a 3D game prototype I threw together. The results were very compelling, and I was just one person hacking things together.

This is 100% going to happen on-device. It's just a matter of time.


I am convinced as well this will eventually be how we render games and simulations.

Maybe just as kind of a DLSS on steroids where the engine only renders very simple objects and a world model translates these to the actual graphics.


I imagine Unreal Engine will start incorporating such stuff?
