that second picture in the first one is a clear candidate for 'you just redo the entire fucking thing'

AI is so ass lmao

Two things 1. I had no idea there was a Front Mission 3 remake until I saw this 2. Now I wish there wasn't a Front Mission 3 remake.

ok, so they used AI redraw for all this. like damn, imagine not giving a shit about your product to the point of trusting somebody unqualified for the job. imagine not giving a shit that much about the fans who like said product and want whats best for it, but you dont. damn...

Correction, he's using a handheld mortar launcher. Which again is not what the latter character is holding at all

I go the first remake both on Switch and PS5 to start a collection of FM remasters, in hopes this would eventually turn into an official American release of Front Mission 5... but if it's going to be this awful, I don't want it anymore. Not from Forever Entertainment.

This looks like shit and I hope it fails.

I guess if Square handles the remasters themselves. They have for the most part done a good job.

I hate that you're right.

that's H O R R I B L E

EMULATION Makes everything better. Pay for roms? EMULATION. You got it.

Such a massive letdown.

Using algorithmic upscaling is not anywhere near as egregious as using GenAI, but I can confidently say several of those images appear to be GenAI. As your review pointed out, it's wrought with details that make no sense. Stuff that a human would understand but a computer would misinterpret.

Awful, they should be forced to cancel the game

This sucks. This game deserves so much better

Aaaaand there goes the excitement I had about replaying FM3

Boooo, what a bunch of wanzers

so fucking embarrassing

it's all AI 🤢

ah sim essa do soldado tambem achei talvez essa usaram só prompt em texto mesmo sem a img original ou talvez reduziram o parametro do quanto a img original afeta o resultado ou talvez por ela ser em tom de sepia a LLM halucinou mais que o normal dificil deduzir o que se passa na cabeça de corno

There’s a shot of a bar, though, that looks too specific to be AI. You also sometimes have the new models for the Wanzers in there. I would really like to know what, exactly, happened with this.

It's 100% img2img AI they used the original images as input, together with some keywords describing what it is, and let it generate a new image based on that combination

Oh yeah, big fan of giant floating globes of mercury, well done MLshit image flogger. /s

My brain doesn't understand what this one is supposed to look like. Is the object at the bottom, in fact, supposed to be a microphone?

Eewww, there's not a chance of going anywhere near that one then.

Front Mission 3 is special to me, so this is absolutely shameful. Fuck Forever Entertainment, and Square-Enix for even giving them the license in the first place. Watching gameplay that was released yesterday, did nothing to help, just made it worse.

It honestly looks like they put everything into an AI generator and asked it to upgrade the image. These look horrible.

So gross

Amateur hour. :-/

sounds like they were ironclad contracted for the 3 FM games and Square couldn't get out of it after the restructuring but will not be using them again in the future

I refuse to pay for shit like this. This is not even minimum effort.

Yeah, this absolutely has to he img2img llm slop, and particularly bad slop at that. My god. This is just sad and depressing. I was really looking forward to FM2 and 3 remakes. Like zero fucks went into this.

Yeah I'm just gonna find a rom for the original and play that. Fuck this!

Looks like shit

I've put hundreds and hundreds of hours into the original Front Mission 3 since it released on PS1 when I was a kid and literally everything about how this remake looks is just so disheartening and feels like such a downgrade. It's like "what did the game do to deserve THIS?"

Same vibes.

Blatantly AI

Square doesn't give a crap about IPs that aren't FF. They don't deserve our money.

It 100% looks like they used Ai to "update" the graphics

I’ll stick to just playing the original games

After the mediocre remakes of 1 and 2, I had very low expectations. This just confirms that we will have to hold on to our memories or resort to emulation.

Ugh. Super disappointing.

Series is doomed to have something wrong in every remake

I just can't. This is straight up heartbreaking when arts are treated like this.

Ffffff. I WAS going to buy it. Not now.

Mmmmm, A.I. slop, my favorite.

Nothing makes me more disinclined to purchase or check out a game than genAI content of any sort.

REMOVE SLOP.

I expect that they actually couldn't use OG art - in-game is low res and Square was notorious for losing source code and documents during this era - but there is no way that even the cheapest actual person could have done this worse.

Absolute irredeemable dog shit.

yeah my nuclear hot take is that game remakes and remasters should be improvements upon the originals in every way, and things like this along with terribly performing unity and UE games that the original outperforms should not be happening.
