‘We Can Fix This Quickly’ - New Xbox Game Pass Title To Replace Every AI Cutscene This Week
“Vapor World: Over The Mind,” a newly released 2D souls-like platformer, joined Xbox Game Pass on August 19th but quickly faced backlash for its use of AI-generated cutscenes. The game received negative reviews on Steam, with players criticizing the reliance on AI-generated content for narrative elements.
In response, the game’s director issued a passionate statement pledging to remove all AI cutscenes by the weekend and replace them with original content created by the studio. This rapid turnaround demonstrates both the speed at which developer can respond to community feedback and the growing player preference for human-created assets in games.
The incident reflects broader industry tensions around AI in game development, with players increasingly vocal about preferring traditional human-created content, particularly for story-driven elements. The developer’s commitment to replace the cutscenes within days suggests the AI elements represent a manageable portion of the game’s content and that resources are available to produce alternatives quickly. The game is now available across multiple tiers of Xbox Game Pass.
