ARC Aquatica's AI trailer

[BiggestKai]

ARK: Aquatica has been announced. I don't think anyone really cared about ARK outside of making fun of Vinny Diesel being in one of the trailers, but the interesting part is that about 85% of the trailer is really ugly AI.

Still not the scummiest thing the ARK devs have done.

I don't think it's scummy, I just think it looks hilariously bad and I'm curious why anyone signed off on it.

This is the exact kind of trailer that ARK fans (if there are any left that is) deserve.

Voice Actor sounds completely uninterested.

Bet the music is AI generated too. It fits the "write the music for the cinematic trailer of a surreal underwater adventure game" prompt pretty well but it's mixed weird, it sounds 'mushy' and not as energetic as they probably intended, and it randomly goes off-beat around 0:37.

So instead of faking gameplay Anthem style they(game industry) just use AI now. Awesome.

Because it's cheaper than making a trailer using game footage, from a game that's probably barebones, or more affordable than good CGI. The developer knew that a lot of people would talk about this which, again, it's cheaper than making good marketing. I'm going to pirate it anyway .

What else are they gonna do?

They can shovel thousands at a graphic design team to produce a normal advertisement nobody will notice, or they can give one intern thirty bucks and an hour on Hailuo, to make a soon-to-be-normal ad that people will at least rage click on.

Voice Actor is probably AI too. Sounds like one of the generic Corporate Presentation Male voices on ElevenLabs.

He speaks for the ARK audience, clearly.
