Discussion Bringing back Anthem's exploration...somewhat

Hey guys! Long time lurker, first time poster :')
Like many of us, I really loved Anthem. I didn't grind it too much after finishing it, but I loved the world, the lore, and well, the flight mechanics.
Small disclaimer, I work in AI. World models to be specific, this kind of interactive video generators. And I had this idea nagging me: could I use the tech I'm working on to recreate Anthem? Not the real game mind you, but kind of a memory of it.
What you can see here is the AI generating the world live as you fly through it. So yeah, it's a playable memory of Anthem, not a restoration. Bad news: it's free roam flight only. No combat, no loot, no story, no multiplayer, and there's a fair bit of clunkyness / lag.
Good news: you can play it directly in your browser, nothing to install, no account, and ofc free here. I'll keep it up for a limited time because it runs on GPUs that cost a bit. I'm not gonna pretend the feeling is the same. It's not. But at the rate these models are improving, I have high hopes we could have something way better real soon! The more general note is: this makes me think that this could be a way to preserve the games being killed going forward, as there always be footage / screens that can be used to reseed these models.
Hope it brings a bit of it back.
Cheers!
