thank you for doing good in this world

Stop the slop! Boycott the slopjob!

I think it's around about time for me to just not be interested in new games anymore 🫩

Wow, I was in no danger of taking for those, excellent work

With the story since the beginning but we learnt about it much later cos it wasn't covered by global media). NTE has many cases of AI usage but most know only about their "slips" on launch. I usually go to their official websites since they post jobs there. Global sites rarely have it.

Remember go woke go broke? Use AI? I won't buy

Thank you for your service, such a disappointment from these developers, all the fun I've had this year has come from small indie games, really. "Dash and drops" and "lou's lagoon" are coming this week, so I'm gonna be busy.

crazy helpful thread. thank you

thank you for this it's genuinely very helpful

They look mid anyway

Actually, a better description would be "we used so much of it we couldn't even tell it apart from what we were getting from our actual artists." Which is, honestly, WAY worse.

Still no Steam disclosure. :/

This one hurt the most, because I was genuinely interested. Guess not anymore.

They missed the other 4 for an even 20

Given Capcom's previous comments (www.eurogamer.net/capcom-gener...) and Square Enix's disclosures (www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/11...) we can assume all of their games also have Gen AI in their pipelines. It's also getting baked into engines like Unity and Unreal, so it's becoming harder to avoid.

Thank you so much

Nodus Falls and Like or Die being AI was like. The easiest read of my life. Genuinely I can’t believe someone actually wanted their game to look like that.

@whatwilliplay.bsky.social @matthewkrol.nebula.tv

thank you for the list, glad to know not to give my money to these people

Phew, nothing I have wishlisted.

your doing gods work. thank you

Like the hard work in this piece or else you will be visited by this sleep paralysis demon on your birthday

You can save even more time by not caring about Gamescom, period.

Oh boy how bad was it really?

Thank you for your service 🫡

For some reason, it was hidden. What the fuck?

Your Ananta skeet is wrong, that's an ad from the site reporting on Ananta about one of their services.

What a fucking EXHAUSTING time to be live

Indie devs are more often passion motivated, there will be always teams that don't use AI because of ethics so I'm not worried here.

I am so fucking tired of hearing about AI. I just don't care anymore.

thank you for your service!

I hope JSR isn't using AI Like fuck man that's a literal antithesis of the game's goal and message

Thank you for your service of going through it all brave soldier! ⁠(⁠ò⁠_⁠ó⁠ˇ⁠)⁠ᕤ

Triste

Hi so tired I'm Magikarp. And yeah, I am too

Same 😞

It's getting harder to spot the difference. I'm tired of seeing generic AI art in trailers instead of actual concept work.

You can. bsky.app/profile/unbu...

It's nice to see the Metroidvania genre still going strong, especially with this and the actual new Castlevania soon!

Thank you for your service🫡

Did they really need AI to make furry bait? Have they seen how many talented artists there are in the furry community?

The zoopunk one still hurts me the most because I loved FIST:Forged in Shadow Torch and got really excited that zoopunk was effectively a sequal, then I heard about the generative AI ship building mechanic they shoehorned into it and had a whirlwind of emotions

If you're going to make a furry game please for the love of dog get some furry artists onboard, they're creative, devoted and will produce furry looking characters instead of this asset bash crapshoot

"Our game does not use genAI, but it does use genAI to generate content" is a fucking hell of a statement.

Awwww man, I was looking forward to that one, now I don't care.

God dammit Hoyoverse. HSR brings me so much joy; stop being horrible. I was wondering how they went from gotcha graphics to something this good overnight.

Definitely have to agree with others' comments here. There is literally no mention of Nodus Falls in the linked article, which itself seems to suggest PLANS for AI implementation rather than saying "We made this game with AI."

The preview for this game screamed AI assets.

4. Crazy Taxi: World Tour kotaku.com/why-do-you-n...

a game that look like temu elden ring to the point it borders on plagiarism is made with AI? say it aint so

The article you attached doesn’t even mention the nodus falls. Moreover, it speaks of AI which has been used in games for years (npc behavior, generating plain and repetitive but massive environments etc). I know that hating on hoyo is fun but please at least give real reasons.

That character is literally just a knockoff of Biboo

I'd prefer to not defend Hoyoverse, but the article does not state Nodus is using genAi. I'm not even sure what they're going to do with Ai and what not. These press releases always keep things so effing nebulous. And Genshin uses in house artists + freelancers for their Character Designs and Videos

Glad to know that my feeling that Nodus Falls trailer was ai wasn't unfounded. The excessively short takesand very disconnected scenes in the trailer felt weird.

Fuck that one looked kinda interesting

Unfortunate, but at least it explains why the rhino character looks the way they do lol

Oh that one hurts

That's just straight up stealing mutant chronicles shit

As far as I've been able to tell they're making the game itself without any genAI, but it's going to come with genAI tools the player can use (or not use) to roll their own cosmetics.

Probably just because it's (in every way) cheaper

Disappointing I was actually looking forward to this one

Nooooooo Goddamn it I really was looking forward to it

Thats depressing about Zoopunk, its an interesting concept and looks like it couldve been fun, but alas.

Probably the least surprising one after Zoopunk

Every single korean game uses genai but in this one was incredibly obvious

Will become a great time for Indiedevs, that don't use Gen AI for their games. I guess, there are a lot of gamers out there, appreciating hand crafted assets and code a lot.

Wow it just Keeps GOING

It's really sad how a lot of stuff that could've been cool and exciting if AI wasn't involved is being ruined because it has become so normalized to use it.

In the replies bsky.app/profile/devo...

I found it eventually but idk why I’ve gotten likes but no answers helping 😭

Disappointed with Amsterdam and Dawnwalker, they looked quite interesting.

It is pretty easy except for Ananta and Blood of the Dawnwalker, especially the latter.

Oh wow. That’s upsetting.

Thank you for making this thread !

My brain is .1% and 99.9% their mom's force fed porn gig

@wooliewoolz.bsky.social

That's good to hear, though I was more concerned with Rayman at this point.

True, but from the looks of things, FF7 Revelation is already done. I'd be more concerned about Kingdom Hearts 4.

To me I already consider both FF and Square a lost cause

SE never used weird tech with their big titles, so far. NFTs/blockchain only had some weird experiments, and AI is so far only investors talk - as far as we can tell.

Mega Man Dual Override may still be AI slop in the audio department, actually.

Heads up, the Ananta one was quoting a sponsor on the article's site, not the devs themselves. I will not be surprised if it turns out they do, but until then there's still no proof or statements, so you might want to put a disclaimer up

gamescom really needed an allergen label for generative AI

Thank you for doing the good work!

Not buying a single one.

Hoping this thread being about the games that ARE AI slop means that there's *more* games that *aren't* than that *are*

As someone wholly disinterested in 99% of everything that gets shown at these damn events, these are the easiest boycotts known to man

It's so sad that this is necessary.

Something to consider is Square Enix is restructuring 70% of their QA team to be AI soon.

*loads up vintage story* or we could stick to indie games, they've been in a golden age for a good while now

Itch has a better selection of free VN's that might be trash imo

*Busts out some vintage New Super Mario Bros* *all my bones crack at once*
