Gaming content splits into two jobs. Trailer-style storytelling needs one hero or creature to look identical across ten shots — and that's Kling 3.0's signature strength, with multi-angle subject consistency other models can't match, at a mid-tier $0.10/s (or ~$0.04/s on subscription). Stylized spectacle — explosions, magic, sweeping fantasy vistas — favors Gen-4.5's rendering and camera direction.

The wildcard is Wan 2.6: because it's open-source, studios can fine-tune it on their own art direction so generated shots match in-game assets — impossible with closed APIs. Note what none of these do: actual gameplay capture. AI video suits intros, trailers, cutscene previsualization and channel branding, not footage of real play.

Whichever pick fits, pressure-test the budget in the calculator with your real clip counts — and remember every rate above multiplies by your retake ratio.
