What is even the point then?

Just watch a movie or read a book.

Shit, listen to an audiobook if you're that lazy!

So much for critical thinking skills...

Reminds me of the Gran Turismo days when an elastic band around the trigger was free money on Test course.

I'm sure game journalists will still manage to get stuck on the tutorial XD

Lol we're back to kids playing on arcade games with no coins in it thinking they're playing super well

Younger siblings playing Mario on the second controller in one-player mode.

But then you have to unplug it for duck hunt.

How is this new or original in any way!? This has been a feature in many kinds of games, for ages

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

that was my question, and they explicitly address it in the article

It is claimed that the AI model would be trained on existing footage of the game, instead of being a pre-recorded series of inputs set by a developer.

so uh I guess (1) they're gonna spy on your gameplay now to train it, and (2) it might not be helpful at all

but the shareholders see this as an absolute win‽

If its an opt in feature that helps you when you are stuck it could be nice. Knowing Sony tho they'll make sure it sucks and gets shoved down your throat

God I remember doing a puzzle in Jedi fallen order and about half way through it's like "oh maybe you should do this" and pointed me to the solution... Like if I'm playing on the hardest difficulty why are you throwing hints that ruin the whole thing?

[–] llama@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

So just a video then without the game

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

They should change their name from Sony Interactive Entertainment

Remember when Atreus wouldn't shut the fuck up in God of War (you know, a FIRST party Sony game) and would tell you the solution if you got stuck? Tone it down a little and it would be perfect. We don't need AI bullshit.

Does anyone remember where games would respect the autonomy of the player enough that they'd actually let you lock yourself out of an ending, where there was an actual game over state your decisions could lead you to?

I still remember the point where the pile of notes my sibling made for Riven (the Myst sequel) was taller than the 6 CD jewel case it came in.

Hey Alexa, get me super hard trophy... But quickly!!!

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I dont see the issue, I would wait for my cousins to visist to get me past hard points in games as a kid, this wouldve let kid me who was new to using a conttoller finish games that I never touched again and never will.

Watching other ppl play a game start to finish livestreaming or on youtube is somehow social acceptable but this is bad.

Also the Blaster Master and the Game Glitches Legacy Sequel anti-AI two part episode. Which is also extra ironic because in the end they glitch the Spider Man games on the PS5.
