Capcom has said during a company conference that it may start integrating AI into its development workflows. Or more specifically, using the tech in further developing its own proprietary RE Engine. Part of said conference was a presentation by programmer Satoshi Ishida titled, according to machine translation, “The Outlook and Future of the ‘REX’ Project, Further Evolving the RE Engine for the Next Generation”.
According to the report by Japanese outlet gamebiz.jp, REX represents “RE neXt Engine”, in which the company’s RE Engine is not rebuilt from scratch every time it gets updated. Instead, when new tech gets added to the engine, the new component is identified with the name RE:X, where the X stands for the name of the new tech in question.
