"No more hand-written code": Epic reportedly impose "AI-first" model on creators of new Disney shooter with Marvel and Star Wars characters

  Even before the Slop Mandate, I’m not sure I could be less enthused about that product.

  Let’s cross over the trillion-dollar franchises! That’s not the premise for a classic game you’ll proudly share with your children one day. It’s the premise for a 16-year-old fanboy’s first outing on AO3. It’s the premise for something that shuts down in 9 months due to declining interest after two half-hearted content updates and nine gacha banners.

  Hot take: if your game mechanics and story wouldn’t work as an unbranded, franchise-free version, no amount of smearing Darth Vader and the Incredible Hulk on the carcass will make it better. (It will, of course, sell better, because Star Wars and Marvel Boys seem to inexplicably have access to credit cards.)

    Plus, they already did that shit with Fortnite so it won’t even be novel

      I was thinking more Marvel Rivals. Like why not just add Star Wars characters there? You know most people playing that only care about the thirst traps anyways

  So it’s gonna be a shitty new hero shooter about a decade past relevance that will be even shittier now. Fantastic stuff.

    Yeah, I was gonna say, just that description sounds like a flop, even if it weren’t slop…

  Good luck, Epic… if the game is a buggy, broken mess, that’s on you.

      I know it will be a buggy mess by lieu of being rushed, but I am giving the benefit of the doubt here, if they can pull it off, cool, if not, mehm Not like I’m interedted in the game to begin with.
