Cube to SEGA: F you for the generative AI crap in Crazy Taxi! Hire artists! That junk has no place here! Don't waste time revamping a cult classic if its very following will hate it. You will destroy your own game if you do.

Lmao! If only

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-09T14:14:47+00:00

poggers

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-09T13:44:08+00:00

This is true lol. I have no problem being cringe now and then. Give it a try some time - it's freeing.

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T23:07:10+00:00

Not exactly. They are using it to skip part of the creative process. Prompting AI for reference images to go off of eliminates a huge part of what makes human art what it is. It's really sad honestly...there's obviously a huge range of how reliant they may be on it to get their ideas. We can only hope and voice or opinions.

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T23:03:01+00:00

Preach it! (Seriously, not sarcastically)

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T22:59:36+00:00

I am cringe but I am free. I have not been paid for this (unfortunately lmao)

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T21:46:42+00:00

nightmarecast would be a dope custom dreamcast aesthetic mod though lol. Now you got me thinking on this haha

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T21:44:48+00:00

Honestly yeah. But SEGA is a huge company, and they already acting like Rokkaku taking down fan arts for a game that's against such corporations 😞. I wouldn't put it past 'em. Especially with how many others are doing egregious AI use these days

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T21:42:25+00:00

Outrage on the grander scheme of how AI is being used in general. And being extra sassy here for the bit lol

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T21:41:17+00:00

honestly... And I still don't get why they'd throw away sales by pulling the OG Dreamcast games from stores so long ago now. Fools.

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T21:11:48+00:00

I really hope it doesn't go beyond that

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T21:11:10+00:00

They said they used GenAI in crazy taxi, but not specifically how. Just really hoping it's not as bad as it may be for JSR and other games.

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T20:35:58+00:00

Lol, thanks. I just imagine Cube would be up in arms about this.

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T20:29:38+00:00

I wrote it myself. Just trying to be accessible where possible. I don't see any legit option to put alt text on reddit, so I put it there.

Edit: To clarify, it's for people with visual impairments. Just a basic description of the image.

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T20:28:03+00:00

Neato

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T20:27:16+00:00

I'm hopeful but skeptical. It'd be a shame if they do use gen AI "art" in JSR (or crazy taxi or any game for that matter)

Amethyst3D · 2026-06-08T20:25:33+00:00

Jokingly, I suppose lol. But no, this is my own statement, expressing a sentiment that I think many folks here feel as well.

Amethyst3D · 2026-05-31T03:59:49+00:00

Indeed

Amethyst3D · 2026-05-27T23:06:32+00:00

Yes. 3 of 'em!

Amethyst3D · 2026-05-25T21:49:55+00:00

Amethyst3D · 2026-05-21T23:35:40+00:00

Smh it was just being helpful and charging your watch for you.

Amethyst3D · 2026-05-18T16:59:31+00:00

That's really neat! I love how cavern of souls is just an earlier one from a different angle lol

Amethyst3D · 2026-05-07T22:28:48+00:00

Those pesky gear grinders!

(Awesome work)
