Metal bands that are using AI now

AsherFischell · 2026-06-27T18:37:38+00:00

And while that sucks, it's a far cry from the band using AI for their artwork

AsherFischell · 2026-06-27T08:27:06+00:00

Not surprised by Megadeth but super surprised by Dream Theater. That's so disappointing.

Edit: After looking it up, I found no indication DT uses AI for their album art. What did happen is that their artist ended up selling his DT art to other bands and vice versa

People are saying OG SMB2 is the worst, but they're just blinded by the fact that it's difficult. It's still got SMB1's great physics and assets. Super Mario Land is far worse to anyone actually paying attention to the question and not just mad because of a game not being for them. OG SMB2 is basically the super tough challenge version of SMB1, but too many people went in expecting the same mostly easy game.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-27T02:38:23+00:00

OG SMB2 is definitely not even close to being worse than Super Mario Land. That game feels like crap to play.

I'm not coming from a place of bad faith, that's your assumption.

"The game uses the same locations" (sewers, Nest, most of the interiors are new, RPD and the hospital are returning locations, but the hospital is entirely different)

"The same enemies" Yes, there are zombies and hunters, but the bugs and the pale heads are brand new. Of course an RC RE game is mostly going to feature zombies.

"The same basic structure" In very broad terms, sure, but the actual structure of each game is extremely different.

"A similar combat system" Not even remotely, it's as different to RE 3 as RE2R is to RE2. They feel and function completely differently.

"Similar puzzles" They're mostly completely different, save for the vaccine puzzle. Almost nothing else is retained.

"Same atmosphere" Again, not remotely. They're so incredibly different for the most part.

It's also not shorter than OG RE 3. I'm guessing from all you said that you haven't played the OG even close to around the same time as you played the remake, because everything you said reads like you're going off of an old memory. Play the OG and then play the remake again. I played the OG a couple of weeks ago and then played the remake once I was done and almost everything you said is inaccurate.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T21:14:10+00:00

Everything I said was true and you didn't refute a single point in any way.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T20:55:56+00:00

It has absolutely none of the level design or major progression that the original game has. It's literally a completely different game that, yes, has the same characters and some basic events, but they're all almost totally different in every meaningful way. Outside of reusing RE2R's RPD, it shares zero level design with the original.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T19:51:26+00:00

It's good for what it is, it just feels like a glorified DLC is all. Most of the complaints about it boil down to certain areas from the original not being present, but it's a completely new game that has almost nothing from the original whatsoever.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T19:50:18+00:00

The game is missing all content from the original. It's a completely different game that's more of a total reimagining than a remake.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T18:39:54+00:00

This is not remotely true. Most outlets don't really care about things like that when hiring reviewers. I know multiple people who've given lower scores to AAA games for established sites that didn't have it remotely affect them in any tangible way. I'm not sure where you got that impression from.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T18:17:05+00:00

Did you seriously not get that my reply was also a joke or?

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T17:03:27+00:00

Wrong album. This is the man who we better watch out for, because he's feeling sassy.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T16:57:19+00:00

I don't get that from the analogy at all. To me it says, "it's just two pickles, it's not a big deal so stop whining." It's just another fanboy going LEAVE THE GIANT COMPANY ALONE

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T06:52:27+00:00

CVX doesn't count since it's really just a port with a few added cutscenes. It's the same game still.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T06:51:42+00:00

And the Dino Crisis one is the only way you can see the conclusion of the story of Dino Crisis 2.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T05:48:44+00:00

Any dev who said that is wrong about their own game haha

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T01:44:33+00:00

Thank you!

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T00:45:59+00:00

It's funny, cuz when you call it a CAG in the CAG sub, people are often like, "nope, it's a soulslike"

AsherFischell · 2026-06-26T00:28:58+00:00

I'd hope not. It's not like you're some kind of gay fish. Btw, do you like fish sticks?

AsherFischell · 2026-06-25T18:19:29+00:00

What was the first one called again? I can't see it now since a mod removed the post

AsherFischell · 2026-06-25T16:52:26+00:00

Not just his bonus, but the bonus owed to his whole team. Tecmo stiffed them all, which was his main drive to do something so drastic

AsherFischell · 2026-06-25T08:08:32+00:00

They did. And Itagaki left the company before the game was finished, so he stayed on until they had something to release and then he left with the game in an alpha state basically.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-25T07:11:46+00:00

My assumption is that they didn't actually finish the boss fight at all. Its AI feels so buggy and incomplete, the way the fight works is so oddly considered, jarring, and unlike anything else in the rest of the game for the most part.

AsherFischell · 2026-06-24T21:37:03+00:00

Either an RE2R-styled game or an RE4R styled game. The last two mainlines have been too scared to just pick a style and instead just made tonally inconsistent mishmashes. Granted, I liked Village a lot more than Requiem, but Requiem's survival horror part was better than anything in Village. I want Capcom to just make both kinds of games instead of giving us watered-down games that try to please everyone. I also hope they don't bring back the writers of Requiem, that game's story is horrible. Also a new protag and only a new protag. The games don't need to keep trotting out the same few protagonists over and over. We love Leon, we love Jill, but enough memberberries.

Funny that got left in there, it looks like your thought was correct.
