SNK recently revealed the season two trailer for Fatal Fury: City of The Wolves, featuring Nightmare Geese, Kim Jae Hoon, Wolfgang Krauser, Blue Mary, and two other mystery characters. Unfortunately, the trailer has received backlash from the community, not because of the characters, but because it allegedly uses generative AI.
As spotted by PC Gamer, the comments section is filled with fans calling out the developer for using AI-generated assets in the trailer despite having the massive financial backing of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Long-time fans of SNK can't help but feel bummed that the developer has allegedly used AI for the trailer.
There aren't any obvious signs of gen-AI, like extra fingers or messed up expressions, but there are a staggering number of complaints on YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit about how it looks AI-generated. "Its very sad that one of the most important arcade devs has been reduced to this," said one comment. "All that Saudi money and can't pay someone a couple bucks to make real shit. Y'all are making this really hard to enjoy," said another.
The funny thing is that fans of the series actually like the new characters coming...
