CORE 399: Princess Slayed
Square-Enix's plan to implement "aggressive use of AI" in 2024. We have thoughts. Square-Enix's lack of details in their announcements is a problem. Games we played this week were: Shapez, Horizon Zero Dawn, Slay the Princess, Red Dead Redemption II, WoW and Shadows of Doubt in VR. The "Dear Martha Reddit Review" segment explores a breakup over a favorite game insult. Other news includes a 13-year-old beating Tetris, Mickey Mouse going public domain for a horror game, Jack Black voicing Minecraft Steve, Guardians of the Galaxy free on Epic Games, a Heroes of the Storm remake mod, and a City of Heroes private server receiving an official license. Shoutout to a creator, Michael Betts, for his game "Tower Song"!! Emails and calls too!
