PS5’s Zen 2 CPU Will Make For “More Advanced AI and Larger-Scale Controls” – Warriors Orochi 4 Dev

Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate director and producer Tomohiko Sho is looking forward to dramatically improved processing speeds.

R-e-a-l-l-y? Wow. Didn't know gaming bolt.

But seriously, we definitely need good A.I. or just interesting A.I. where NPC's have certain routines in a created world, but can bend and do things we wouldn't expect. And don't necessarily play like a human opponent.

Like an RPG. Companion characters jump in to help you fight an enemy, switches their own weapons or magic with what they think is best, change their own clothes or ask you for items they might need. Have their own skill trees to improve fighting abilities but it's different every time you play. They may pick a different skill than last time. Suggest alternate paths to a destination, randomly say they need to leave to go buy something at the shop or see their wives or kids and tell you they will meet up with you later. And while you heading out of the town to a mission, they call out your name down the trail and say "wait up." Or, " you weren't going to go kill that dragon alone were you?" "Your wife would kill me if I didn't save your hide like I always do." Which leads to small back and forth banter about things or laughing. Basically, beyond Skyrim type design.

Enemies regroup, may even run away leaving the missing open. Or stalk you by hiding amongst the trees or fly overhead(like the same dragon) until they see you're at your weakest if you didn't heal and they attack. Or their relative is chasing you for vengeance which gives you choices of wether killing them or not by taking it out.

This besides aging of characters, buildings and environment foliage. More interaction with objects, more areas like buildings to walk in and out of. And damage to environments that aren't game breaking but stay until trees grow back or buildings rebuilt.

Don't care for bigger world's. I care for better, denser worlds for next gen.

[LemyAtom]

Agreed. We really need a major overhaul in AI design, which has been stagnant for a long time. Think about how game changing it would be to have teams of enemies working well together to fight you, not just following scripted and predetermined routes. Forcing you as a gamer to out think the opponents rather than recognising their set patterns. Playing against AI that actually feels human in their intelligence will be a huge thing for the industry.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Basically that. You have to out think them like chess. And your comrades are thinking better for themselves. Give them a basic program in what they could do in a given situation. And they decide what to do.

[Muzikguy]

I don't want bigger worlds either. I mean it would be nice but having that space filled with almost nothing isn't good. AI does need that overhaul. I thought companies were mentioning that other times yet we haven't seen it yet.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Yeah. I hate all that space and nothing is in it. And what's in it, you can't even interact with it.

[Pickledpepper]

Breaking news, the ps5 is a Sony console, it can also play games better than the ps4 which is also a Sony console.

[yoshatabi]

How is this possible? This is truly groundbreaking

[Skuletor]

Déjà pu: The feeling I've heard this shit before

[sprinterboy]

Not sure on your disagree buddy but I agree. When I played F. E. A. R for the 1st time which was approx 20 years ago I was like wow the AI is awesome only to fast fwd to 2019 and my favourute AI game of all time is still F. E. A. R.
That alone is a sad and a joke tbh that we've stayed relatively stagnet in that area.

[madpuppy]

That's how I felt playing half life for the first time when the soldiers would attack and duck behind cover, run from grenades and flank you, It blew my mind...and your right, no one really did too much more beyond that.

I'm sure you forgot in the past 2-3 days since the last article.

GAMINGBOLT EXCLUSIVE:
PS5 TO BE FASTER THAN PS4

[Muzikguy]

Says indie Dev that won't even push the system to its limits

[sprinterboy]

Without reading let me guess, gaming bolt?

[rainslacker]

It's almost a drinking game at this point.

[Muzikguy]

Oh. My. God. YOU DON'T SAY! I never read these articles but I really wish gamingbolt would bite the dust already. What next? "PS5's graphics chip will allow more pretty pictures than was possible on the PS4. It will be good stuff. I know, I've seen it"..... says Dev 🙄

[yoshatabi]

No shit

[DiRtY]

We really need more developers talking about SSDs and faster loading times.

Or CPUs for better AI.

Or GPUs for better visuals.

Okay, Long story Short: PS5 and Scarlett will be more powerful than PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

Who would have thought?

[Visceral89]

I bet we will still get a hundred mindless enemies to kill easily, with subpar graphics

[jznrpg]

I hate you gamingblot . Yes I misspelled it on purpose

[Bigman4k]

Sounds good

[FanboysKiller]

Better AI could kill well known IPs like COD, Seriously, the more devs get closer to uncanny valley the more they gonna have no choice but to get rid of the game aspects that defines itself.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Which will push them to make better games or fade away like some games have done in the past.

[InKnight7s]

AI isn't that different from PS2. I mean who really played KH2 final mix and KH1 final mix critical difficulties is somewhat similar to Code Vain'ish'.

[SolidGamerX]

You don't say.

[Larrysweet]

Bb is sames clone

[Segata]

I like Warriors games and all but we all know Tecmo is the last to talk about AI. We all know the AI will be brain dead in the next Warriors game anyway.

[CertifiedGamer]

I love the power of PS5 and Scarlet but many game developers have turned it into a casino. They should rename the next gen consoles to Playstation Hard Rock and the Xbox Hard Rock.
