was chatting with @bullshit.rodeo about this and he suggested Croc, which actually shipped before the controller even came out. so could even be something earlier if you can't use the controller launch date as a cutoff

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI-assisted tools were used during development to assist with programming tasks and to create or refine selected 3D models. All AI-assisted code and 3D assets were reviewed, edited, tested, and integrated by the development team. AI-assisted tools were also used for selected Steam marketing artwork. The game does not generate content with AI during gameplay and does not connect to an external AI service.

it must be so fucking annoying to work with dweebs like this

“I told all the other actors in his scenes: ‘Guys, he’s not going to be hanging out with you at craft service. He’s not going to be yucking it up with you between takes. He’s probably not going to speak to you at all. He is going to treat you the way he imagines Mark treats the people around him,'” the filmmaker continued. “And that’s what happened. You cannot argue with the results.”

my boring theory is that it's just putting them in vague spots of importance and otherwise trying to make it fit. if these two were swapped, dandori academy logo would be too close to the black of the bg below it

cool that they are using FF13's paradigm names for the tank/healer/etc roles

Commando: Excels at dealing damage.
Medic: Supports the party with healing.
Sentinel: Protects allies.
Breaker: Specializes in staggering enemies.
Synergist: Buffs allies to gain an advantage in battle.
Saboteur: Disrupts enemies to turn the tide.

and took to paragraph 12 of 12 to even mention it in this flippantly dogshit way. “somewhat marred” by all the “controversy”. eat my actual shit Matt Wales

It's silly, exhilarating, and a load of fun, which is pretty much exactly what I want from my Crazy Taxi. It's just a shame that a potentially jubilant comeback has been somewhat marred by all the controversy around its use of generative Al.
But did I enjoy my time with World Tour? Am I thrilled to see such a treasured classic make a seemingly solid return after all this time? As The Offspring famously sang, "Y-" - well I think you know where I'm going with that one.

if i had to suffer an FF6 remake, i would rather it look like tales of destiny director's cut (a remake of a similarly traditional top-down 2D perspective) than HD2D. immaculately stylized textured low-poly 3d enviro with fixed cameras and high resolution pixel art 8-directional characters.
