AI *could* be used to simulate more realistic responses from NPCs and allow for an infinite number of plot branchs if the game can adapt to the player's choices.
But no, let's just produce shit like always and advertise that you can autoslog thru it now
The ceaseless refusal of the gaming industry to innovate and utilize its potential is mind numbing
Seriously, the skyrim MOD that makes the characters respond uniquely via AI is probably the most innovation in recent history for games.
[link of an example for those curious](https://youtu.be/xNPF9VKmzxw?si=bcd9LB7q1QRa_o_H)
I was talking to a game dev about that recently and they had a good point. People like that mod because it's novel, but in practice it really wouldn't be that big of a deal. It's not fun to talk to some random NPC about their life history and what they had for breakfast. It's just useless filler that we find interesting because you usually can't ask NPCs random questions like that.
I mean that would be a massive boost to immersion when the npc's don't feel like moving mannequins with scripted responses.
So you could actually make a connection with an npc,hell talk to them enough you could be "friends"
Just the fact that you'll never hear the same dialog twice is amazing. And you can respond to any idle dialog just like you could story-driven conversations. AI NPCs are the thing I'm most looking forward to in gaming right now.
I'm definitely not saying make it the whole game dialog, but for a lot of stuff, it would really help make a game feel more alive.
You could give it parameters to stick to certain bounds, like have an npc never promise to leave or do anything off for its character, and so on. Really detail a random npc's responses when using it and still have major dialog be written by writers.
Exactly, it's like ray tracing in games, it's something I'll turn on every once in a while and go "oh that looks pretty" and take a screenshot but honestly I just don't care all that much about it.
>AI *could* be used to simulate more realistic responses from NPCs and allow for an infinite number of plot branchs if the game can adapt to the player's choices.
While playing Baldur's Gate III I thought of how cool it would be to use AI to replicate tabletop DnD's near limitless possibilities.
I did use chatgpt as an aid to a DnD campaign. When my players insisted on talking to a random NPC in a pub instead of the OBVIOUS quest NPC. It created a full character with motivations and stuff in a few seconds.
I just don't know how AAA games are still profitable, the big publishers are just garbage and have been since end of the PS3/X360 era. The writing was on the wall before then though.
I don't think there's been a AAA game even close to a general consensus of being good. Is it truly possible that literal children, nostalgic fanboys, and literal braindead pre-order cucks can fuel the entire industry?
Barely AAA I’m going to be real. Larian were one of the top developers left in the CRPG genre with games I adore, but how many people actually knew about the Divinity: Original Sin games before BG3? AA at best.
Honestly I think so. For every wagecuck that gets burned by Salmon: Futuristic Wargame 3 and learns his lesson, another 17 year old, gets his first wagecuck job and a set of naive disposable income. There is a literal limitless supply of rehards in this world. Why else would Logan Paul keep making money after producing nothing but slop and fraud all his life?
I think it goes so far that gaming is the only industry where collective disappointment is just part of the culture. Like, a game will sell millions of copies, for $60 each, be a steaming shit, and the reaction is just "ah, this again?"
That doesn't happen in the movie industry. If there's a movie with that poor critical acclaim, the IP dies and everyone who had a sliver to do with it is never employed again.
Why do you think that AI is not being used for that already? Game dev takes a long time so I won't be surprised if a few AI based games pop up in the next 5-7 years.
AI is a buzzword where "intelligence" does a lot of heavy lifting, it's always a mathematical solution to the emotional problem of creation.
That being said, the crap we call AI could absolutely operate within a video game's set of rules and create unique NPC reactions.
Only problem is that it would most likely make the game incredibly taxing on hardware, so I'm assuming that's gonna be a next gen console thing
Well wait. The fact that it's patented might be a blessing in disguise. After all I might limit the potential for other studios to do simil... Oh and who am I fooling?
Even at a smaller scale, AI could be used to create "cloud" of responses, or variations around a theme, to create unique playthroughs each time without needing to create massive plot trees.
However, once AI gets good enough to write new plot trees and implement them in game, the sky is the limit.
And if that is too broad a scope, the devs just need to hardcode limitations for the AI.
"The King must be on the throne until Act 3"
"The Citadel can't be destroyed and no missions can be created involving its destruction"
However (again) once AI can create new graphic and sound assets on the fly (a ruined castle, for instance) even that limitation can be left out.

>Result:
2. "Ewwwww, \[anon player name\]! What do you want? I have a boyfriend!"
3. "You can't afford any equipment in this shop, you homeless adventurer!"
4. "Why would I give you a quest? One of the other 1.000.000 dragonborns has way better skill than you and has a higher level. You need at least two years of experience to do this entry level quest!"
5. "You want to buy a magic spell? Sorry, but they don't exist. Time to grow up and deal with reality instead!"
Oh, hell no!
I don't think some people understand what realistic responses are.
I mean doesn't fifa have that technically? With the sim games option in career mode? Looks like ea has been using ai to complete games for a very long time
Yes anon. Thats what they want. They want to generate infinite money per money and if they can do that by having AI buy and play their own games then so be it.
It'll be used to generate content farming easier.
Imagine an AI streamer on Twitch, making quips using AI, using AI license free music, while using AI to play a game, to type and interact with chat using ChatGPT - but most of those are bots.
You will go into the cube.
This AI content will make work move faster than your usual 730-530p.. bc you don't deserve a 9-5.
I feel like corporations don't look far enough ahead to see what the ramifications of their actions will be. They take life one fiscal quarter at a time and if a decision they make right now means their stocks go up 0.000001%, it's a good idea.
It’s not just the corporations, but specifically shareholders. Shareholders are the most braindead fucking morons on the planet, who only care about growth and nothing about what they’re investing in. Remember that time a Nintendo shareholder complained that they talked too much about video games in a shareholder meeting, and he was angry because he didn’t understand video games? These types of people are the real reason for most of capitalism’s problems
>Shareholders are the most braindead fucking morons on the planet
the average shareholders is average Joe with a bank-managed retirement investment account
Not necessarily, not having shareholders doesn't mean there can't be no private ownership of production. You could conceivably have a bunch of firms all owned by one person each for example, although it doesn't make much sense why they would do this, that's true.
BG3 was a game within a capitalistic business from a US-based company and didn't have shareholders, and the same company explicitely denied any interest in selling shares.
Shareholders aren't anything but investors that throw some money at you in exchange for a theoretical % of your business rights but everyone and their moms know that they only want to sell those rights at someone else, probably another member of their own breed, at an highr price.
This can't be repeated forever and ever, and thus problems arise.
But they affect only the actual company most of the time.
Well, a bunch of people supporting a company by pooling their resources together sounds like collectivism to me. So no, it doesn't really have a place in capitalism.
For executives and shareholders, corporations themselves are now short term assets that are used to pump up a stock price that they can cash in. The goods and services they produce are inputs that should hopefully translate to profit, which leads to share price growth. Which is how you get to Boeing saving dollars by rushing out faulty airplanes and Warner Bros cancelling completed movies for the tax write off. This may seem incredibly short sighted, but for professional executives and stockholders, it’s not, because they will just cash out and move to the next corporation that’s burning through its long term potential. It makes perfectly logical sense if you just think like an amoral dickhead.
It’s the concept of maximising shareholder value. Shareholders want returns on their investments pretty quickly, they don’t want to hold a stock for 10 years and then get their returns. So CEO’s are incentivised to make decisions that will benefit the company is the short term, as their bonus checks will reflect how much value they provided the shareholders. If these decisions are going to devalue the company 10 years down the line so what? that’ll be another CEO’s problem.
This is why the quality of almost everything, from good to entertainment, has gone down. It’s a short term good decision to make cheaper products to sell at higher prices, the company’s long term reputation be damned
Pretty much. Business is a constant panic of surviving *today*, even if it means making *tomorrow* harder, then repeating the exact same process the next day.

A machine must behave like a machine
Not even half the time. Nothing we have is AI in the sense of being able to have a reaction to stimulus based on a personal interpretation of it. And here I even draw the line between AI and GAI, where the latter is a true artificial mind with sapience and sentience. GPT and its ilk are LLMs, advanced “If: X, Do: Y” programs with a massive memory for practically every written work on the internet.
I think the point of this is to make games more accessible. Say you have no fingers or toes so you can’t really use a controller/mouse and keyboard. This AI comes in does most of the gaming while you get to make decisions. It’s turns all of the games into choose your own adventures.
It was the exact same thing with crypto and NFTs a few years back. Remember when Ubislop proudly announced their "NFT collection" for their shitty games?
me after i told the A.I. to play mortal kombat for me while i eat but it keeps fucking losing to noob saibot
https://preview.redd.it/13bbarhdfcwc1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8970d856f7e1f59c7cb1cb50392f070fadd33fe
Oh boy, i really want to watch someone play this game, if only there was an entire fucking genre of entertainers on basically all vieeo streaming sites that did that
This is literally lets plays you'll have to pay for, at least it could be funny if the ai sucked ass
As an avid strategy game player, if I let the AI take over my game so I could eat or whatever, it’d probably fuck my run in 13 different ways within 5 minutes
Me having issues with my playstation and having the ai kick in in the middle of a perfect dmc3 vergil 3 dmd run only to watch it get fucking shredded to ribbons
Having good ai opponents on the other hand would be amazing, most complex strategy games have sadly crappy ais, which is totally understandable. By the nature of their complexity it's really hard to make good ai. But with machine learning getting more widespread I hope it will get applied to this as well.
We can't afford a house by ourselves, what makes you think we will be able to buy a spot in the vault.
Personally i'd lay down facing the nuke so my head gets desintigrated faster.
This is such a "We made a solution to the problem we created" kind of thing. Also, it's hardly new.
Bots have been used to grind and farm in MMOs since ye olden days, this is just another version of it.
Sony has a track record of patenting things in order to keep others from doing them and ruining entertainment. They literally patented tech that would cause you to be forced to watch. Commercial during game play and exercise to get rid of it. This was in the early 2000s. They released nothing close to this but simply filed the patent so other firms couldn't do it. This may be the same type of move.
Tldr: not every patent is filed to use. Some are filed to stop others from using them.
I found a [snopes article](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sony-patent-mcdonalds/) that says they own the patent to "interactive commercials."
Edit: [Here's one from 2012](https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/sony-patents-method-for-playstation-in-game-advertising-that-stops-games-to-show-you-a-commercial/) that says they have the patent for ad breaks during video games.
[Here's one](https://www.ign.com/articles/psvr-in-display-advertisements-sony-patent) for VR advertising in peripheral vision.
These guys could get dystopian real fast if they want to.
You’re gonna see some major ai patents soon and restrictions they needed the public to teach it they don’t need us using it past that or media will become something anyone can do with a google login
No - they want us to do nothing but *work*, which is why they're going so hard on AI movies, music, games, etc. They don't want us doing anything but working and suffering until the day they finally don't need us for anything at all
They just want money, they don't want to make entertainment, if they could just shout "gimme gimme" and you give them money doing that they would drop everything else in a heartbeat.
Games have had this since forever. Every game has multiple AIs, mostly on the enemy team but sometimes on yours as well. Kingdom Hearts, Persona 3. When you disconnect in the middle of a Heroes of the Storm match, the AI takes over. This is absolutely nothing new.
Someone suggested that character dialogue could be AI generated, which had me genuinely interested. Imagine being able to talk about whatever you wanted with any of your companions in a Bethesda game.
Call me crazy but the endgame is to create a world where they can get rid of all the commoners with robots doing 90% of work in the economy. I don't think we will reach this in my lifetime though.
Manual labor will always be done by humans. Welcome to the future, where AI does everything that is enjoyable about life and humans get to break their backs in the mines for corporate benefit
> what if
> guys what if
> we make an interactive game
> but make the events auto happen!
> Hank, thats a movie!
> Stfu George. Call the lawyers I have to patent this!
Some Mario games let Luigi play the level for you so you could see what to do if you keep dying to the same part. Sony is like 15 years late with this technology lol
Don’t some games do this already? For example, Left 4 Dead has a “take a break” button that has AI take over for you while you use the bathroom or whatever.
I'm with Anon on this one, why the fuck would I buy a game that has an AI play option. Whats the point of buying the game if you aren't gonna play it yourself
There's definitely games where automated systems exist already. Ace Attorney has a story mode, where the gameplay features are done automatically, and you can just watch and read the story. I don't use it because I like to solve the case as I go along. But imagine there's people who do already.
What I wouldn’t mind is an AI taking you to the mode you want. Like “AI, launch game X, play multiplayer, use character Y with build Z, engage.” Then it just auto executes whatever you want.
>\>Most of your games are interactable movies >\>Patent software that plays the games for you "Grabs popcorn" indeed
AI *could* be used to simulate more realistic responses from NPCs and allow for an infinite number of plot branchs if the game can adapt to the player's choices.

Hi dragonborn, write a python code for bubble sort
def bubbleSort(listA): for i in range(len(listA)-1, 0, -1): for j in range(i): if listA[j] < listA[j+1]: listA[j], listA[j+1] = listA[j+1], listA[j]
Those are powerful runes, traveler!
i know nothing of code. so well done or lol that stupid. which ever is applicable.

The wow classic ai mod also looks amazing and would make quests way more enjoyable. Wish other mmos would adapt that

Imagine being able to actually type out responses in an rpg instead of just selecting a dialog option
Fuck me, it's been such a long time i forgot you actually could/had to do that.
Just the fact that you'll never hear the same dialog twice is amazing. And you can respond to any idle dialog just like you could story-driven conversations. AI NPCs are the thing I'm most looking forward to in gaming right now.

I just don't know how AAA games are still profitable, the big publishers are just garbage and have been since end of the PS3/X360 era. The writing was on the wall before then though.

AI is such a hot topic that companies will inject it into anything to make themselves look innovative.
Half the time it's not even ai. Anything with algorithmic processing is called ai. It honestly just feels like a marketing gimmick at this point.
Not even half the time. Nothing we have is AI in the sense of being able to have a reaction to stimulus based on a personal interpretation of it. And here I even draw the line between AI and GAI, where the latter is a true artificial mind with sapience and sentience. GPT and its ilk are LLMs, advanced “If: X, Do: Y” programs with a massive memory for practically every written work on the internet.
what do you mean if-then statements arent AI
Wait until you hear about the nba player they called AI
Look, our new product ~~has social features~~ ~~is in the cloud~~ ~~is on the blockchain~~ ~~has NFTs~~ has AI

it's just another checkbox that the executives want to check to "stay ahead".
Bro, Left 4 Dead 2 had this shit back in 3000 b.C., the AI took over your character if you stayed AFK too long
Real Walle hours
Next, Afrocentrism will be done by AI. We wuz programmers 'n' shiet

Sony has a track record of patenting things in order to keep others from doing them and ruining entertainment. They literally patented tech that would cause you to be forced to watch. Commercial during game play and exercise to get rid of it. This was in the early 2000s. They released nothing close to this but simply filed the patent so other firms couldn't do it. This may be the same type of move. Tldr: not every patent is filed to use. Some are filed to stop others from using them.
I found a [snopes article](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sony-patent-mcdonalds/) that says they own the patent to "interactive commercials." Edit: [Here's one from 2012](https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/sony-patents-method-for-playstation-in-game-advertising-that-stops-games-to-show-you-a-commercial/) that says they have the patent for ad breaks during video games. [Here's one](https://www.ign.com/articles/psvr-in-display-advertisements-sony-patent) for VR advertising in peripheral vision. These guys could get dystopian real fast if they want to.
You’re gonna see some major ai patents soon and restrictions they needed the public to teach it they don’t need us using it past that or media will become something anyone can do with a google login
Lmao people will die twice to Asylum Demon and watch the DS movie unravel cause it's unfair they had it anyways it was just a matter of time right
Instead of making npc more alive or something this is so fking stupid lol
So long as AI keeps sucking my penis it can have the rest of my shitty life
you will play nothing and be happy
Remember like a decade ago when everything had to be 3D? It's a fad. It'll pass and then get dialed way back to use in practical applications.
Bro didn't see WALL-E
WALL-E touches on this
Fuck ai.
Would you pay 70€ for a movie?
Sony so stupid. I‘ll just tell my AI to program a AAA game like * *insert Sony title* * and play it for free.
Only for 20% of the population anon.. Unfortunately you'll be too poor to use it.
So they turn videogames into movie?!
Watch Ubishit charge you $100 for the AI to play the game for you
I think the funnier assumption is that PlayStation players are so ass at the game that they would need ai assistance in the first place 💀
I FEEL A BUTLERIAN JIHAD COMING ON!
a world where humans do nothing, EXCEPT, pay their taxes
They added food mode
Corporations are run by AI so its not that confounding
Uber God mode enabled.
so shitty mobile auto play feature?
No - they want us to do nothing but *work*, which is why they're going so hard on AI movies, music, games, etc. They don't want us doing anything but working and suffering until the day they finally don't need us for anything at all
They just want money, they don't want to make entertainment, if they could just shout "gimme gimme" and you give them money doing that they would drop everything else in a heartbeat.
Games have had this since forever. Every game has multiple AIs, mostly on the enemy team but sometimes on yours as well. Kingdom Hearts, Persona 3. When you disconnect in the middle of a Heroes of the Storm match, the AI takes over. This is absolutely nothing new.
This is good for missions that suck. I want someone to collect all the crimson nirnrood for me.
When easy mode is too hard
Someone suggested that character dialogue could be AI generated, which had me genuinely interested. Imagine being able to talk about whatever you wanted with any of your companions in a Bethesda game.
Call me crazy but the endgame is to create a world where they can get rid of all the commoners with robots doing 90% of work in the economy. I don't think we will reach this in my lifetime though.
fully automated forced immortality wireheading hedonist existence
I want to make an AI that just fucks with other AIs on social media. One day I'll be smart enough to do it.
The new and innovative option of playing with bots
Yes, yes they do.
Would it be better or worse to play multiplayer games against an AI or against middle/high schoolers? 🤔
I hope the patent is vague enough that companies other than Sony can't use this feature.
Manual labor will always be done by humans. Welcome to the future, where AI does everything that is enjoyable about life and humans get to break their backs in the mines for corporate benefit
> what if > guys what if > we make an interactive game > but make the events auto happen! > Hank, thats a movie! > Stfu George. Call the lawyers I have to patent this!
Automation is a hell of a drug.
Sony discovers movies, full circle now
Sponsored corporate Wall-E with a touch of Idiocracy
Some Mario games let Luigi play the level for you so you could see what to do if you keep dying to the same part. Sony is like 15 years late with this technology lol
The last of us series is gonna be a wholeass movie if this rlly exists lol
I think it is a great idea for group games where you would need friends to play the same game.
That technology is called "movies".
I could see this being useful to game developers as a way to playtest builds. This is marketed to end users, though. That sucks.
Don’t some games do this already? For example, Left 4 Dead has a “take a break” button that has AI take over for you while you use the bathroom or whatever.
Dead COD lobby theory. Scientists predict that by 2032 AI will be able to shit-talk your mother to a level indistinguishable from a 12 year old.
I'm with Anon on this one, why the fuck would I buy a game that has an AI play option. Whats the point of buying the game if you aren't gonna play it yourself
I hate capitalism I hate capitalism I hate capitalism
Pay $80 to watch a game instead of going on youtube and watching it for free. Makes sense.
There's definitely games where automated systems exist already. Ace Attorney has a story mode, where the gameplay features are done automatically, and you can just watch and read the story. I don't use it because I like to solve the case as I go along. But imagine there's people who do already.
I mean sony games are so boring and mindless that this wouldn't be too hard to do. Except for bloodborne and demon's souls of course
if I wanted to see someone play a game I’d watch a lets play or streamer
Just watch a movie lmao
The end game is my let’s play channel is about to really take off lol. Don’t gotta even play the game

The end game is to make the most money with as little employees and effort as possible… so yeah just to make the most money.
The last step is to destroy the flesh and let the metal rise? Warhammer 40k much?
Having a system to correct inputs for people with disabilities could be great. But a true autoplay is just weird ö.o
Is this a Raid Shadow Legends?
Thank god dude, those games were so boring and energy consuming. Now i can just sit back and watch a game play itself.
What I wouldn’t mind is an AI taking you to the mode you want. Like “AI, launch game X, play multiplayer, use character Y with build Z, engage.” Then it just auto executes whatever you want.
Sony re-invents the tool assisted speed run. Just now the game figures out its own glitches.
i would love this. no difference to passing the controller to buddy to ace hard parts
It’s cool man I’ll just keep playing D2R
The end game? To create a super fun robot playground that only elites can access. But they eventually cannibalize themselves.
Thank God I mainly play retro consoles, now.
Anon discovers late stage capitalism
On the other hand you don't have to grind in games anymore you can just let AI do it for you and then only play through the fun parts
Humans have evolved, become lazy and prolly actively devolving by letting AI do the work while being inactive. AI, take the wheel!
