New Hot Shots Golf Game Cops To Using Generative AI For Trees
Briefly

Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots revives the beloved franchise for modern consoles, featuring simple mechanics and a mix of single-player and multiplayer gameplay. However, upon its release announcement, it was revealed that some in-game textures were generated using AI technology, raising concerns among fans. Despite the return of characters like Pac-Man and nostalgia for long-time players, the use of AI in art production may detract from the gaming experience, especially for players who disapprove of such practices or have ethical concerns. The game launches on September 4 for multiple platforms.
The game's Steam page discloses that AI tools were used to make some of the in-game art.
The latest entry in the long-running golfing series was announced a few weeks back at Sony's most recent PlayStation State of Play.
Watching the new overview trailer, there are no obvious signs of generative AI in the backgrounds. They just kind of look ambiently junky.
Fans who pre-order the game can access him immediately, while everyone else will have to grind to unlock the yellow ball.
