Grass, (edited ) do gaming w Nvidia’s AI-powered NPCs are getting better, but still sound uncanny

I haven’t read the article but this headline gave me an idea. In future tech/cyberpunk settings, humans and cyborgs should be animated convincingly like real life humans, perhaps with slight differences to accentuate the cybernetics. Robots should be as they are in real life too. Androids should be varying degrees of Bethesda npc. The variations would be based on the in game lore or the manufacturer. So high end stuff would be more like real humans, but the Bethesda like companies can only put out Bethesda like products with spooky uncanny valley bug eyed stare through your skull faces and body doing whatever in a different direction.

After watching it, basically this. Save this specific version for later and when it improves use the new and the old together and there are your androids. Combine with traditional voice and animation for the humans. Realism out of fake looking shit.

Awesome, I didn’t know they had a kickstarter going. No such thing as bad press I guess.

Good on him, but I wonder if he would be doing this had the game been a success

"Ethically, [the] only logical reason is to delete the game from Steam. The girl I've been dating for a month made me realize this."

Make like 38 Special and hold on loosely brother. Keep it up.

I dunno, is learning stupid?

NachBarcelona,

Depends. Learning to do th Hitler salute when meeting someone is stupid. Learning how to shit next to the toilet is stupid. See how that works?

He should’ve developed the AI parts.

Yeah, bring out the Hitler comparisons! That’ll show me lol.

Kolanaki, do gaming w After getting Silent Hill 'back on track,' Konami wants to make it an annual franchise
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Remember a few years ago, around the time they made that MGS3 pachinko machine that updated the cutscenes to be on the FOX engine and pissed off fans hoping for a FOX engine remaster of the game, and Konami said it was leaving the video game industry to focus on pachinko machines?

Whatever happened to that? 🤔

That’s exactly what I would expect AI would say.

If Sandfall said no AI was used when in fact AI was used, then they are 100% right in taking the awards away from them.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact could be written more simply as Hunter^2 : Nen x Impact

Just a suggestion, both are technically correct.

I’ve been hurt by every TimeSplitters announcement I’ve seen for the last 20 years, do I dare to believe that it’s once again time to split‽

Excellent news!

I agree! It is ! Its clearly in pre release state and needs a lot of work but its basis is right there!

ProdigalFrog,

I thought its discussion of how much Civilization focuses on conquest, colonization, and combat over most other systems, to the point of it becoming a bit ridiculous if you try to go pacifist, was interesting. The year it was written didn’t seem a detriment.

@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

not at all! it’s an ageless topic. just wild to read an article from almost 10 years ago that feels like it was written yesterday. Esp when Civ 7 is the new hotness, but Civ 6 still has more players.

ProdigalFrog,

Ah! Totally misinterpreted your comment then, sorry 😅

It’s okay, I understand it came off a little snarky. I have a hard time not adopting the “reddit” tone in my comments. Lol
