Sega and Creative Assembly have removed Total War: Shogun 2 - Complete Edition from sale just days after its October 13 launch, following widespread player backlash over its graphical overhaul, which was widely identified as crude AI-upscaling. The 'remaster' produced bizarre visual artifacts, including a samurai's face merging with his helmet, prompting Sega to reinstate the original 2011 version instead. Sega admitted the release 'fallen short of both your expectations and our own standards,' marking a rare and swift public reversal that underscores growing player sensitivity toward AI-generated visual remasters in gaming.
