@Patrick_TremblayIts not that deep man

[@hadara69]

@Patrick_Tremblay That’s the thing though, game designers could LITERALLY have thousands of possible game scenarios, many not even worked out or authored by a human! They could just let these things write the “script” for you with some general common plot points to hinge it all on. You could already do what you’re describing, btw. I played “Simpsons, hit and run” years ago and would walk/drive around sometimes just to hear the Springfield residents’ canned lines (Lenny: “Hey Homa! How about a breakfast churro?!”) I didn’t advance in the game, but it was fun and gave me driving practice, etc. This changes ALL that. Imagine just “wandering around” and finding a whole other plotline that literally NO ONE has ever played before! “Black Mirror”, hold my beer…

[@asvalias]

@@hadara69 As for right now, it's difficult to imagine that this is gonna be the case. I'm pretty sure this technology not gonna go any further next 10 years ( I mean AI voice recognition has been around for quite awhile ). Being able to answer to player's questions is one thing, and to make NPCs actually interactable is another, way more challenging to accomplish thing. The best they could offer is 1) make more variety ( let's be honest, every NPC he talked to were quite intelligent and rather peaceful. In real life there are plenty different people ) 2) few NPCs being in group as friends ( this alone is quite difficult to do ) 3) chance of NPC attacking you if you offend him

its already possible, its a demo from almost 2 years ago. so....the graphics are here buddy.

[@bamflyer]

The fact that they are all jaded is great shows the team behind this could art direct the emotions of the responses ti match the story. So you dont get random out of theme answers that feel like nonsense. Everyone feels as miserable as the original matrix in this

[@PedraamJam]

It would be awsome if the conversations could actually go somewhere for example planning a date or going on a mission together

[@professorsypher6174]

I'd love to see some basic changes to their programming based on the conversation. As it is, it seems like no matter what you get them to say, they just continue on their programmed path after the conversation is over. It'd be nice if you could actually convince them to follow you or to go sit down. Something that shows that they could actually receive input.

[@TheBillionDollarSaaS]

I like that they finally brought the npc technology from real live npc‘s to video games. 🎉

[@IanPhilmore]

I’ve been thinking about this for years and just hoping they nail it before I die. This stuff is going to get wild.

[@Simonsvids]

If they really 'nail it', maybe you will not die. Maybe your consciousness could be kept alive in GTA 20, and make you be mowed down in the street by some nutjob driving a supercar every day for all eternity!

[@morpho5539]

Wow this is already really good I can’t imagine what it will be like in a year.

[@darrenjackson2800]

One of the biggest revalations for gaming in a while. Instead of slow progression in graphics its a huge step in the immersion and enjoyment you can get in a game. Imagine games like payday where u can communicate with ur team. Or fifa where u can make gameplans on the fly with team mates. Obvuously this isnt close rn but it proven to be possible and now theres a solid base to start from

[@sqlevolicious]

It's not. This tech will never be used in this way. Killing off VA's would be the death of any studio. Regulation against this tech being used for art like this is coming very soon.

[@who_cares848]

They should make a small town version of this where people are more friendly lol

[@Gandhi_Physique]

They might be pissed off a lot because it is easier. Happy, excited people would want to share a lot more information probably, but a pissed off person can realistically be vague, combative, or short in conversation. Might not be the case, but makes sense to me.

[@liraz747]

I'm imagining this being implemented in a game like Animal Crossing now that you mentioned a small town and that sounds so cool! It would make the villagers so much more interactive and fun

[@Anonymous-kp3jf]

Small towns are not more friendly istg😂😂😂

[@who_cares848]

@Anonymous-kp3jf what makes you say that?

[@MarexKai]

This is mind-blowing! It's chilling how aware the NPCs seem about their circumstances and "lives" in the simulation. If humans can create digital worlds within our world, what if WE are the NPCs in someone else's much bigger game? 😮🤯

[@emdeejay7432]

Ive always thought they need this in rpg games. It would completely alter and take it to a new level. Like you could tell them what youre looking for and ask them if they have heard of an item or a person. It would be a breakthrough in how we play games. It'll happen eventually.

[@cxngo8124]

@@Synclon this stuff is extremely experimental. RT has been in games for 4 years and its not widely implemented or adopted yet. We don't even have fast travel without a loading screen even though Ubisoft showed us it was possible back in 2017. I think we are still 4-5 years away.

Thats actually a brilliant way to use A.I. . It'll make games so much more enjoyable having all that variability

[@mcr00kes]

The AI is brilliant here and so doverse in their views! Obviously, it's all down to code and association of words, but if someone wasn't aware of that I could absolutely see how someone may think all these people are somehow aware but confused - I can imagine the fear some of their voices project. This is some amazing work!

No matter how realistic video games get, the models are always gliding on ice when they walk.

That's so true. It completely breaks the illusion of reality. It looks like some Xbox 360 or PS3 character model.

The "You're in a simulation; nothing is real" line was genius!

[@hadara69]

I say that to Trump's cult often. Same reaction.

[@SkuuchiMane808]

This is a crazy breakthrough in gaming. Soon future games will have unscripted dialogue and Everything will be spoken and determined in real time 😮

[@StateOfMind63]

Yes. and if they combine this with AI characters physically reacting to ingame events. For example, you could shoot at an NPC character and they will react in real time in a realistic but perhaps not-entirely-predictable manner. The possibilities are almost endless. Imagine that in a new GTA game. It would be the biggest technological leap a game has taken since GTA 2 compared to 3. I don't think we're likely to see it in mainstreem games like GTA anytime too soon. Maybe in 10 years time though..

[@StackRunItUp]

i have never seen anything like this. this is incredible. great step for gaming for sure

[@Ciubowski]

It's like you discovered some kind of hidden lore within an experimental feature. cool!

[@Albo_AK]

Give this technology 5-10 more years, and game will probably not have any more scripted interactions or dialogue. Every interaction for every player will be unique. And the main character talking to other NPC’s will never run out of dialogue if it’s generated by AI. Very interesting technology.

[@tiredlocke]

I am excited to see real AI NPCs in games...but it will be tricky to integrate live AI agents into a game. If they aren't following a script, then it will be difficult to build a game around them. It would probably need to have procedurally generated quests and objectives too.

[@turismoride6617]

5-10 years is a lot of time. We’re gonna make something self destructive very soon
