'We Agree That the Current Experience Is Not Where It Needs to Be' — Sega Pulls Disastrous Total War: Shogun 2 Remaster From Sale Following Backlash
But fans quickly noticed art inconsistencies that some alleged were evidence of low quality AI use. In one image, a samurai’s face was replaced with a metallic texture that struggled to distinguish between the face and helmet. Fans also pointed out inconsistencies on the new storyboard cutscenes.

Can't wait for the next Sonic game to be vibe-coded slop! And then the Sonic Defense Squad will burn so many calories from the mental gymnastics they'll do to justify it.
Ah yes, the most low effort, maximum margin of game releases (aka remasters) can now be created with even less effort and greater margins thanks to AI.
I was about to search if it was vibe coded or something as they didn't have a track record of messing that up years ago. But alas, my time is saved!
Does this game even need a remaster? I guess the original is getting a bit old now but the art was great (including menus) and I'm fairly sure it supports a good range of screen resolutions.
Can't market it again unless you call it a remaster.
Well I mean Witcher 3 just got a big remaster, and they modernized things like combat and camera and skill trees. I'm not sure Shogun 2 even needs any of that.
Also, the W3 remaster is free, and what's being marketed there is an upcoming paid expansion. That seems like a smarter move to me.
