Tencent has introduced Hunyuan-GameCraft, an AI-driven generator of gameplay videos trained on hundreds of AAA games
Recently, Tencent unveiled a new generative model called Hunyuan-GameCraft. It is used to create gameplay videos where the movement of objects is controlled by viewers.
According to the footage demonstrated by Tencent, Hunyuan-GameCraft can generate a scene in a game from a textual prompt, offering both first-person and third-person perspectives. For instance, it can create a sea with a sailboat gliding over the waves or a track with a racing car. Users can control the movement of the boat/car using a keyboard and mouse.
Additionally, Hunyuan-GameCraft can be applied not only to generate gameplay videos but also "realistic" videos of various kinds, such as nature scenes with the ability to control the camera.
The model is trained on a million gameplay records from over 100 AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption, and Assassin’s Creed.
According to the company, Hunyuan-GameCraft "significantly surpasses existing models" in the same category. These likely include Veo 3 from Google and WHAMM from Microsoft.
