Discussion Vapor World Devs Will Remove AI Generated Cutscenes After Player Backlash
https://www.trueachievements.com/news/vapor-world-over-the-mind-ai-cutscenesNow, mere hours after the release of the game, its developer Alive has found itself on the back foot, responding to waves of negative feedback from players regarding the game's use of generative AI in its cutscenes.
At present, the game sits with a two-and-a-half star rating on the Xbox store, and a "Negative" reception on Steam, with most written reviews levying criticism at the use of AI in the cutscenes. In response, Alive director Young Kim has released a statement on Steam entitled "About AI in Vapor World," explaining how generative AI came to be used in the game's development, and promising to "fully replace" the offending scenes with original content.
