if you think that's what next-gen is about... have fun with all 3 or so of your next gen games for the next five years.

Assassin's Creed August 2007
Lair July 17, 2007
Grand Theft Auto IV October 16, 2007
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Q4 2007
Heavenly Sword TBA 2007
Killzone PS3 TBA 2007Oh, i thou
WarDevil TBA 2007


That's 7, over the next 8 months.

Oh, I thought you were talking about games specifically where every person is reacting differently based on your actions, not just games with lots of people/things on screen at one time.

 

add battalion wars 2 to that list then.

 Lair, has special AI scripts to have each person actually fighting useing a simple AI. No game in the past has put thousands of people on screen... actually doing stuff on a per person basis. (not even GTA4 is doing that)
Heavenly Sword - It's putting THOUSANDS of units on screen at the same time, each doing their own thing trying to get to you, and kill you. Once agian all of them are running AI
Killzone PS3 - I'm sure the helgast will be smart enough to run for cover no matter where you come from, no matter where they are. (not scripted)
Assassins Creed - Dozens of people on screen, each doing their own thing, you bump into them, some get mad, some run, some attack you. Same theory as GTA4... just no cars
WarDevil - Similar to Assassins creed.

Battalion Wars 2 - If the AI is anything like the first, I would put the AI on par with N64/PS1 games.
