Next-Gen: Complex AI Will Lead To 'Realistic Behaviour' & 'Simulated Emotions'

NowGamer: Prettier graphics are expected on the PS4 and Xbox 720, but what about AI? Tomb Raider's creative director has some ambitious ideas...

What the hell does graphics have to do with AI?

Gazondaily4068d ago

Nothing. Did you you actually just read half of the first sentence?

Lisica4068d ago

Kind of.

But again, I doubt that processing power was the problem with AI so far.

konnerbllb4067d ago

@Lisica

Of course processing power and ram limits AI. They have to divide processing power and memory between multiple functions that make up a game. Graphics, phsyics, sound, map size, NPC count, AI.

Fact.

To think otherwise is ridiculous.

BitbyDeath4067d ago

I gotta agree with Liscica, power isn't the issue, devs have just not known how to code for it.

AI isn't a switch nor are sprites going to magically do more once you add power. Every action has to be coded to have a reaction, power was never an issue, just a non-understanding/lazyness to code for it.

Naughty Dog have come up with a solution to this which is no doubt a work in progress.

It is up to the dev to tackle the issue, but hopefully in the near future devs will be provided with AI kits akin to SpeedTree.

miyamoto4067d ago

"But, this complex AI for next-gen games requires the new consoles to have the processing power to react and work with the speed of the human brain, and there’s a very real opportunity that’s exactly what they could do."

The PS4 CPUGPU or APU will take care of that.

MasterCornholio4067d ago (Edited 4067d ago )

Hmm Ubisoft said the same thing about the AI in the PS4 version of watchdogs.

""We can spend more time in the brain of each AI with a more powerful machine, saying, 'OK, how will I react to what just happened there? Where will I run to? Will I call the cops?', or stuff like that.

"Fundamentally the core, innovative part of Watch Dogs is the same on every platform. But on PS4 we're able to push every level a lot further."

It pretty much confirms that the PS4 (and PC for sure) version of this game will contain superior gameplay in comparison to the Wii U, PS3 and XBOX360 version due to superior AI and Physics.

And people say that hardware doesnt improve gameplay LOL

clintagious6504067d ago

Its up to the devs if they want to push those certain areas to the limit even with the ps3 u see how great the AI is in killzone & now u see how naughty dog has pushed it even further with the last of us. It will only IMPROVE with the ps4 & nextbox & of course pc but its the 1st party studios who will push it to its limits.

KillrateOmega4067d ago

I'm always down for better AI :)

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9560d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro60d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot59d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist59d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx60d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188160d ago (Edited 60d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9560d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist60d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp60d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg60d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion59d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
