So you’ll ask how to level faster and it will tell you that you have cancer and to kill yourself. Riiiiiight…
AI Slop.
Just, no.
- Fortnite tried this with Darth Vader
- Fortnite is struggling so bad they had to lay off 1000 employees
Coincidence?
Honestly, yes.
This just sounds boring. Like I’d rather have someone script the lines for this character than them to cheap out on an llm.
Like the article says it seems really weird decision for a multiplayer game.
It seems like the worst of both worlds between just letting players guide each other and having a tutorial. All the downsides of unreliable individuals giving unreliable information (in humans for the sake of amusement, and in the AIs because of hallucinations) while simultaneously lacking the limited progression path and handholding of a guided tutorial.
Nonono… I have a better idea. Do NFTs.
SQEX already tried that, and just like here, also with third-rate producers in a new tech space.
Yeah… that’s exactly what Im taking about.
Its like a dog you just can’t potty train
So does that mean the game will be always online? Or does the AI companion disappear if you’re offline?
Edit: read the actual article and it’s about an existing MMO, so the game is already always online.
Which is a shame, because it’s the only DQ game I haven’t played because it’s a MMO and not translated into English.
Gross.
Hasn’t been a single game ever released it has used AI and it been well received? I should really get into being a c-suite exec. It would be easy, I could turn up to work absolutely shitfaced and still do a more competent job.
Conversation is honestly one of the places I think AI would excel at. You can have more interesting conversations instead of the same 5 phrases over and over.
As a game developer I would be extremely uncomfortable with the idea that my characters could just say whatever.
I think it’s a perfect use case, that and UV unwrapping and texturing. Stuff thats tedious, and nobody likes doing.
For chat, you limit it to a character. It’s not like chatgpt where you can prompt it to say anything.
How Square Enix and the minds behind Gemini plan to limit and “guide” what the AI can and cannot say remains uncertain, and specific details regarding exactly how this will all work have yet to be shared.
From the article it sounds like that’s exactly what they are doing. Just having an interface in the game straight through to Gemini.
Where winds meet was pretty well received and it also did this AI chatbot powered npc’s
The fact that I have no idea what you’re talking about it’s kind of my point really. There has been no successful AI game.
You not knowing about a game is completely irrelevant to whether or not it was successful.
I’m not asking whether the game was successful I’m asking if it was well received. Did people enjoy the AI integration did they think it added something to the game or would they have preferred the game not to have it.
Spyware in video games now?
Vote with your wallet yall.
Finally a good use for AI… Chatty slimey, I’m playing a game. Please execute a kernel exploit.
What a creative new form of DRM !
How far Squeenix has fallen. 😒
I can’t wait for the first videos from people who turned that Ai slime into an mysognostic, racist, pile of blue shit!
Everyday I stray further from the path of mainstream gaming.
