Google unveils GameNGen, a new AI model that can simulate the classic 1993 first -person shooter game Doom in real time.

It's a neural network system that can function as a limited game engine, potentially opening new possibilities for real-time video game synthesis in the future.

In tests, ten human raters sometimes failed to distinguish between short clips ( 1.6 seconds and 3.2 seconds ) of actual Doom game footage and outputs generated by GameNen .
