Sure of course I agree that given the time even produceral generation would be mindblowing. The issue only is, today the year is 2018 and we aren't that close to replacing crafting a world by hand. If I had to wait to 2038... That's at least another 20 years. I mean, a lot will happen in 20 years and there will be outstanding breakthroughs and without a doubt AI's will be smarter and better. Time goes fast, but not that fast and I am still stuck in 2018 for the time being. Having a breakthrough in quantum computer technology would surely speed up progress in AI development.
Initially the discussion at hand was whatever the next Zelda game should be procedural generated. And my answer to that is that it should avoid that for the time being. The next Zelda might be comming out within the next three years for we know and I don't believe that within three years our Artificial Intelligence technology has improved so much that developers not need to design their own game worlds manually anymore. I don't that the Zelda thereafter should either. Perhaps somewhere around 2030? If our AI technology has proven to be sufficient intelligent, then sure.
It is not about being against procedural generation for the sake of it, but because I am all for having the best in gaming experiences. And as it stands now I do believe a procedural generated game is incapable of bringing out the most of your experience in gaming. But that will surely change in due time.
Other than that, I certainly do agree, but in due time.
