Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."

It's like they're trying to make a game that is as unappealing to me as possible.

    Disney games do tend to feel generic.

    Disney everything tends to feel generic. They ruined Star Wars and Marvel with mediocrity. Disney World hasn't changed much in decades. The only difference I noticed when I went in 2023 compared to the last time in 2007 (other than the massive increase in price) was that they removed the animals from Animal Kingdom and turned a third of that park into Pandora from Avatar. That part was kind of neat but definitely not worth selling both kidneys for. I could only afford it at the time because I collected a life insurance check. Someone had to die for me to afford Disney.
