If I could take Skyrim as an example, I would love a VR game where I can walk up to an NPC and ask about the city I’m in, or where to find a place and have the NPCs say more than “good day sir” over and over. Of course I’m asking a bit much at this point, but I have seen some videos I hope are real where people test out ai NPCs
I remember when games used to be shipped completed and without bugs that required day one patches or patches at all. Seems that shipping out games that aren’t optimized or ready to ship is so normal now that you say something like “everyone’s favorite game had bugs on launch”.
I just feel that you can’t say a machine is replacing you, when it’s doing something you’re not capable of, which is to provide infinite, responsive responses and dialogue. I’m not saying these voice actors aren’t needed or should be screwed over. Why not dialogue a character, pay the actor, and ai can generate the infinite responses. Pay the actor a premium for this.
Ai I can also see being great for NPC and enemy reactions.
I remember playing Manhunt back in the day and being intrigued by the ability to use my mic to distract enemies, and some games that let you respond by mic, and I hoped that would go somewhere but it can’t, not without Ai.
That’s good. A game can’t hold an unlimited amount of NPC interactions, and just get repetitive. Ai isn’t taking your job if it’s not possible for you to give me endless dialogue.
Not “revived” since it’s still going, but I wish the mega man series would modernize. It’s 2024, I get side scroller was megaman’s thing but how I would love a modern, ratchet and Clank style platformer/open world where you go to different parts of the city to fight the different robots. But Capcom and most Japanese game companies are insanely opposed to modernizing and of making their games look current. Graphics wise they’re always outdated
I always ignore anyone who uses phrases like “waste of time”. Too many people don’t have an in between anymore and games are either a 10/10 or “unplayable garbage”, like come on now, just cause a game is a 7 it doesn’t mean it’s trash.
I like detail but I’m not the play fallout on survival mode kind and this game was very much a survival mode type. I like medieval games but that one was a bit much for me. Baldur’s Gate I skipped just cause I can’t with turn based fighting in. 2024
