This looks like one of those "These are our vague promises that we will definitely keep and aren't just a PR move" things and they might not do anything...
...but the fact that a Google-owned company is using "Less AI slop" as a selling point makes me think we're all headed in the right direction

YouTube says they are actively looking to reduce the spread of ‘AI slop’ on the platform.

Observation: Devil May Cry 1 and Ninja Gaiden Black both begin with the player dropped into a quiet mountainside and are given a moment to wander around before getting jumped by some enemies.
DMC3 and NG2 both begin with the player IMMEDIATELY being thrown into a fight as soon as they press start.

Man, I love watching speedruns, but Devil May Cry runs in particular are REALLY cool to watch
You’ve got all sorts of really interesting movement and combat mechanics, but runners often use them in COMPLETELY unintended ways (you’re “meant” to take your time and kill things, not fly through levels)

Thought: If they do end up remaking Devil May Cry 1 in a couple years, they should absolutely bring back Griffon’s voice actor from DMC 5.
Having that big hulking bird monster drop in with the voice of a ‘90s Saturday morning cartoon villain sidekick would be so funny and so perfect.

Been watching a LOT of Devil May Cry vids lately and decided to bust out the Switch version of DMC3 while I’m on vacation.
Man… having style-switching on a console is cool, but that game does NOT play very well on a handheld. It’s so hard and technical and it’s just not as pleasant to play.

Lukewarm take: The first question you should ask about a video game sequel is “If you take away the name and the number, is this thing any good on its own?”
If the answer is yes, then we can get into the cancerous “franchise purity” question. If the answer is no, then we’ve got bigger problems.

Replace "AEW" with anything. I was deep into it myself during lockdown, fretting over stupid bullshit I *could* influence in some minor way to cope with everything I couldn't, and it is a *deeply* unhealthy place to be.
But Big Tech desperately wants us to be there.
