Really strange and unnecessary places this thread has wandered to.
I have no idea why it became a debate about enemy A.I., for example--which, of course, is a complete misnomer, since there IS no self-governing intelligence, and they ALL are based on scripts. The method is unimportant. What is relevant is how well they respond and interact with their environment, and the the enemies in TLoU seem to do that very, very well.
Binding each enemy to its immediate environment, rather than having a generic, overriding series of scripts, is obviously more demanding, and ultimately, allows for more specific interactions. For instance, if the A.I. "knows" the layout of a location, they won't be wandering around blindly. If the A.I. is programed to be aware of other A.I. on the same side, then they shouldn't fall into a simultaneous pathing loop. Those are good things, in my opinion, and things that A.I. which aren't area-specific often fail at.
Personally, I'm extremely impressed with the A.I. in TLoU. The thing that really stood out for me was when (in another video) Joel knocked a down and pointed his shotgun at him and the guy started pleading for his life. Really, really immersive. |
Oh the A.I is impressive. Revolutionary? Maybe for consoles. Just not PC. Still impressive. Game doesn't look to be my cup of tea, but I'm not boycotting it. Just saying graphically it isn't light years if anything above other console games of its scope. Rage and The Witcher 2 on consoles looked brilliant and amazing. I got a chuckle at the guy who said aritficial stupid. I guess with Intelligance comes Stupidity. Artifcial or not haha. Still nice work by naughty dog.

Revolutionary? What are you talking about? Why would it be revolutionary? And what does TLoU have to do with PC games?
Still, what PC games are you talking about with AI that can't be replicated on consoles? And how do you know, anyway? I'm assuming you haven't played TLoU?
As far as the how the game looks, I'm not sure why you're talking to me. Perhaps you have me mixed up with someone else. I do most of my gaming on PC and I still don't give a rat's rear-end about graphics. After a certain point, it's one of the things I care about the least. Game graphics could never progress beyond what they are now and I wouldn't care. TLoU looks just fine to me and I have ZERO intentions of comparing and contrasting it against other games. I just simply don't care.

Never said you cared. Just a few people in this thread referred to the A.I as Revolutionary. Acting like it's never been seen before. Same with the visuals. I never said it couldn't be replicated on the consoles, I was just referring in general to those who said it was revolutionary, I simply said it has been on the PC for a while now. I was quoting you explaining why it got to where it did. By saying some people kept touting the game engine as some revolutionary, godlike thing where even when showed proof it wasn't started jumping down others throats. Sorry if my quote confused you.
