Video games are all about immersion, but you don't need hyper real graphics to make that happen.
Xbox has received immense backlash from fans after its ID@Xbox program used an AI-generated image in a new post on X.
Meh. AI is going to substitute a lot of things in the future, just as mechanical automation did in the past and continues to do in the present. Also:
"My favorite indie game was paying actual artists instead of pushing horrific AI slop you fucking leeches".
This is such a bad take. The person who created the art was definitely a designer of some kind, likely working on a contract basis for an agency that was itself hired by Microsoft. So unless designers aren't artists now - which itself is a old "discussion" - then it was made by a artist that got payed.
I don't know if you work, but I wonder if you'll have such a casual sentiment when an AI (or AI-powered robot) will displace your employment/income?
@Easzyc
I don't get you folks that think if you bury your head in the sand things won't change. Technology always advances and you have to evolve.
How many jobs was lost by the internet that you are on right now complaining about jobs lost by Technology. Smh
Heard it many times in the past.
Are you one of those people who refuse to use self checkouts to "keep people in a job"?
I am an artist in the games industry and this affects me personally. Having said that, I don't really see the point in fighting the future. Yeah, it's sad that people are going to loose their jobs. Like others have mentioned, this is not a new thing though. Just look at the past century and you'll find that so many occupations have been replaced by innovation. I also realize that my work is a tiny, tiny part of all of these AI models since it's trained on artists' material and stock photography but it honestly doesn't bother me. I _do_ understand artists who are upset/depressed about AI, but it's highly unlikely that AI generated art will go away.
“The person who created the art wss definitely a designer of some kind”
You should like someone that needs more perspective, a 6 year old can type a prompt and create AI “art”. That’s the problem, AI is going to put a lot of people out of work who actually create art. People like you need more perspective, just because it doesnt affect you and your livlihood doesnt mean it’s not destroying people’s lives. Just how fast food automation is taking jobs it’s going to take your job too someday.
Nah. That is just how progress works under a capitalist system, buddy. It sucks? Yes, but it's how it has been working for literal centuries at this point like you probably learned in your school history class.
All I know is that like 99 percent of indies I play are from game pass. I’m sure the devs are glad the games are being played more
Then being upset at using an ai graphic

One of my most sought after games. Im loving the xbox indies...cuphead, ahsen, below, inside and solus project are some of the games that stick out most in my mind. immersive visuals that dont need realism to draw you in.
On the broader side, games like the journey, tearaway, zelda games, old rare games, panzer dragoon,Mass effect, halo, that new horizon game... so many games games that discard realism and still draw you into these wonderful worlds. This is what gaming is about to me, as well as the realism, make imaginary worlds that are beleivable and cohesive with the characters that inhabit them.
I still can't find a single article about why a character shaped like a cup with a straw in his head? Is there a metaphor to it or a gameplay device? Perhaps it's literally meant to be a 'pop' culture character, something very 1930s as in Coca Cola and Santa Claus? Or, shapewise and colourwise, a homage to Mickey Mouse without being so passe as to just choose another animal character?
Think its more a homage to Max Fleischer's Studios and their creative take on things back then .
Two words.....Cup Head!
Love the look of this game, hope it plays well.
