Regarding the generative AI usage in Crazy Taxi: World Tour. While the fact is concerning, especially regarding the future of other series like Sonic the Hedgehog, the extent of usage remains vague.
In the description on the game’s Steam page, SEGA hints at the AI tools only being used for technical purposes and for routine tasks to help the creators concentrate on creative work.
Brian Shea, the Executive Editor at Game Informer, revealed that the AI was used for some background assets of the project, which are still “subject to review by the development team”.
This wording generally falls in line with many other publishers who disclosed such usage of AI recently, those being Capcom, PlayStation, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, and many others.

@AskrSMNBrandon@lilifying Not really no, generative ai could be anything from pictures, videos, text. They specifically said they didn't use it for characters
@Swag_K1RBY It's not new either, capcom and plenty of major studios are using support ai. What's funny about this is that everyone will freak out about this for a week and everything will be forgotten.
