AI-Generated Game Commentary: A Survey and a Datasheet Repository

Abstract: AI-Generated Game Commentary (AIGGC) has gained increasing attention due to its market potential and inherent technical challenges. As a comprehensive multimodal NLP task, AIGGC imposes substantial demands on LLMs, including factual accuracy, logical reasoning, expressive text generation, generation speed, and context management. In this paper, we introduce a general framework for AIGGC and present a comprehensive survey of 45 existing game commentary dataset and methods according to key challenges they aim to address in this domain. We further classify and compare various evaluation metrics commonly used in this domain. To support future research and benchmarking, we also provide a structured datasheet summarizing the essential attributes of these datasets in appendix, which is meanwhile publicly available in an open repository.
