GrayHOST
We can skip it.
GrayHOST
Anyway, Shogun 2.
GrayHOST
You know Shogun 2, right? You guys know Shogun 2? Not the TV show.
GrayHOST
The game.
GrayHOST
The new edition lasted only two days before Sega announced its withdrawal.
Joey FitzGUEST
uh yeah loads more ai please
Dan HHOST
yeah do you want to do a bit more so 13th of october they launched total war not epic but total war shogun 2 complete edition i think this was sega i think it's sega total war shogun 2 complete edition uh that was on the pc so $39.99 original the original so the not the non-complete, the incomplete.
Dan HHOST
Was it GTA? $29.99.
Dan HHOST
But the original was pulled from sale on Steam because players had accused it of using obvious AI upscaled art on the unit cards and UI and a ton of performance bugs.
Ray HazlipHOST
Oh, it's so good.
Ray HazlipHOST
So also last week, Sega, the publisher, and Creative Assembly, the developer, remastered the game Total War: Shogun 2, originally released in two thou- uh, 2011.
Ray HazlipHOST
A highly rated, uh, Total War game.
Ray HazlipHOST
Lots of people like it.
Jesse CoxHOST
And you're probably saying, well, Jesse, surely AI in your old games won't be bad.
Jesse CoxHOST
Sega and Creative Assembly have temporarily pulled Total War Shogun 2 Complete Edition from digital stores, following severe backlash over bugs, performance issues, and the use of AI upscaled assets.
Jesse CoxHOST
If you have seen the photos, they're crazy.
Jesse CoxHOST
It is indeed a shameful display.
Jesse CoxHOST
There is one photo going around of like a Shogun dude, or like a samurai, but the normal version, it's just a pixelated guy with the helmet, but the new one...
Jesse CoxHOST
It's literally, he's got like the helmet is his face.
Jesse CoxHOST
It like melded together.
SonicKickGUEST
Yeah
Spencer PressleyHOST
... aware, Sega and Creative Assembly released, uh, Shogun 2 Complete on PC-
SonicKickGUEST
Yep
Spencer PressleyHOST
...
Spencer PressleyHOST
And also not even the first time that this has happened with Sega, but like I just checked, it is, it is now pulled from Steam.
Spencer PressleyHOST
If you bought it you can still play it, but it's just so crazy to be like...
Spencer PressleyHOST
W- Again, when we're talking about things that should be like a surefire bet is that someone was like, "Okay, we'll, we'll put this out in October, but we won't put like a X, Y, or Z game out." And it's just so weird about being like even if you just moved a couple of things around, like be like, uh, just imagine if they were like, "Hey, we're gonna let, uh, Shogun 2 cook a little bit longer and we'll move Sonic Pico Park up a month," 'cause that's also probably ready to go.
Spencer PressleyHOST
And it's just so weird of like just being like, man, it is like, it, it's just almost like painful watching them s- like step on these rakes when it's like it's far from the first time they've ever stepped on them.
LenHOST
This show was scheduled about a week ago to talk about Total War Warhammer Lords of the End Times DLC, which in my opinion is actually quite good.
LenHOST
But the very funny thing is that between when we penciled this in and now, Creative Assembly released the Shogun 2...
LenHOST
Complete Edition or something.
LenHOST
I forget what they called it.
Ian BoudreauxHOST
Like this is, you know, when an attorney files a briefing that's been written by chat GPT or something like that, something funny is probably going to happen.
Ian BoudreauxHOST
And this is the, you know, strategy games version of it.
LenHOST
Well, it's a shame because when I heard they were doing like an updated, a visually updated version of Shogun 2, because I think it's still a fantastic game.
LenHOST
I think it's still one of the best Total War games probably ever.
TruVillainHOST
So, yeah, so look forward to that.
TruVillainHOST
Next up, so a little while ago, I think last week maybe even, Sega released a remaster of Total War Shogun 2.
TruVillainHOST
And people hate it.
TruVillainHOST
Yeah, which is a pretty massively...
TruVillainHOST
I haven't
KainitsuHOST
either.
KainitsuHOST
I have Shogun 2.
KainitsuHOST
I did buy it on sale a long time ago because a friend of mine said it's, like, the best Total War game.
Jez CordenHOST
This, this sort of, like, it's, it's a generalized issue in the issue, uh, industry right now with, like, rush, rushing and vibe coding.
Jez CordenHOST
I don't know if you've seen all this backlash that Creative Assembly's had, like, with Total War: Shogun 2.
Rand al Thor 19HOST
Yeah.
Rand al Thor 19HOST
Well, I think isn't it part of it because it's labeled on Steam as AI, and there's, like, a big push? 'Cause I've seen pe- I've seen some people being like, "All right, uh, Steam, you have to remove this.
JoeHOST
No, it's pretty bad.
JoeHOST
Like, I, there was a, [laughs] recently, uh, they made a new Total War, or like a remade Total War: Shogun 2, which is, like, one of the better Total War games.
SarahHOST
Mm.
JoeHOST
And just clearly just applied, like, d- AI slop to all of the visuals and stuff, and it looks awful, and everyone's like, "It runs terribly now." It's just garbage.
Mike StrawHOST
Let's put it this way.
Mike StrawHOST
I mean, they pulled Shogun 2: Sega and Kri-
Grant Taylor-HillHOST
Yeah
Mike StrawHOST
... and 크리에이트 Assembly off the store shelves.
