There are many companies that are not disclosing their AI use. There are countless examples of people finding AI assets in games with the company never stating AI was being used: Call of Duty, Battlefield, Crimson Desert, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Anno 117, and more

FluffyQuack @fluffyquack.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I'm leaning towards it being much more likely they're using AI much more than we know. Companies are extremely careful what they say via PR and they know if they openly support AI (especially AI-generated art), there's a chance for a backlash

FluffyQuack @fluffyquack.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

That's one instance where they denied AI-generated art (maybe for legal reasons as they don't know the license of whatever model people would use) We have multiple instances of them supporting AI (code; they stated they used AI art back in 2025; they've used it in promos)

FluffyQuack @fluffyquack.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

They had AI-generated artwork as part of a RE9 promo video earlier this year. That doesn't strike me as them backing away from AI-generated art I also haven't seen any news where they've said they're no longer using AI art for concepting

This sounds very similar to what the MCP server that was added to Unreal and Unity that lets an LLM interact directly with the editor. Capcom also stated last year they're using generated artwork for the concepting phase: automaton-media.com/en/game-deve...

No, they're not. Here's a translation of one of the slides from their presentation This is very much about incorporating LLMs into the workflow to generate code and help with other development tasks. They even say they hope their publicly-released code will help train other AI models

FluffyQuack @fluffyquack.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Also worthwhile to mention this article from last year where they mention using Gemini for concept art: automaton-media.com/en/game-deve... They've also used generative AI for promo content and they approved Nvidia showing RE9 with DLSS5 I don't think Capcom is shying from gen AI

Here are some other quotes from Capcom. That sounds to me they're VERY much incorporating LLMs into their workflow when working with RE Engine

Capcom is very clearly talking about LLMs, though, which I'm pretty sure everyone agrees is generative AI

If there are #ResidentEvil fans who haven't played the original Alone in the Dark 1 yet, I highly recommend doing so. It was literally used as the template for RE1. Mikami himself even said RE1 would have been a first person shooter if it weren't for AITD

I wish Capcom would reach out to the community when patching an old game and ask for a bug list. The new Resident Evil HD Remaster patch on PC claims to fix bugs, but it did not fix a crashing bug when viewing leaderboards where a friend has unicode characters in their name

FluffyQuack @fluffyquack.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This would filter so many more games if more developers were up front about their AI use: automaton-media.com/en/news/over... If I recall, Steam only asks developers to declare AI use if it's used for assets in the final game, which doesn't cover other kinds of AI use (ie, AI coding)

I've already added an optional fix for what I think is the worst bug/oversight in POP2. They changed the mechanics for running jumps in POP2 where there's a chance running jumps will always fail if you have a certain sub-tile position. It happens with this setup: www.youtube.com/watch?v=inpe...

I can do that, though I can't remember which animations have that jitter. I know two animations like that in POP1 (standing forward jump and picking up the sword), and I was thinking of adding an optional fix for those (I'm also doing POP1 as part of the same project)

I've become awfully familiar with the game after spending multiple years reverse-engineering and writing a re-implementation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V-G... I've never actually tried the Mega Drive version, though. Is it beatable from start to finish?

Combat school for #MetalSlug 6 is included in the Ultimate Collection which means this is based on the Japanese PS2 port of Metal Slug 6. That should mean we finally get a localized version of that game's Combat School No sign whether this is the PS2 version ported or emulated

FluffyQuack @fluffyquack.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It's unlikely to ever happen, but I'd love to see them take the best ports of the game as base (ie, the PS2 ports of MS3/4/5) and then add 60fps support I've been working on a recomp of MSXX with 60fps support and it's really cool to see it look so smooth: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cArg...

It's really cool the collection will include the location test build where you only play as the tank Otherwise, I'm bummed out this is the Neo-Geo versions emulated yet again, as we've seen the games be released this way many times already. Though, seeing MS6 and Advance again is neat

FluffyQuack @fluffyquack.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

The idea is basically having a companion piece to this. With the new one being based on Prince of Persia 2 rather than Prince of Persia 1, which is why I'd prefer the style to be as similar as possible

The game looks unbelievable for being '86. The artwork still looks crazy good. It's cool to see Jim Sachs again I remember watching an interview with him where he had a short rant how people rarely show the game with the correct aspect ratio. It's sad they're doing that mistake in this release too
