AI in new video games

September 25th, 2007 by tim finin

A story in USA Today, AI is A-OK in new games, reviews the use of AI techniques in current video games, including Halo 3, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

“Our video-game enemies are smart — and getting smarter. The artificial intelligence that guides in-game characters today leads to far more natural actions and realistic friends and foes than in the past. “As graphics improvements top out, artificial intelligence will (drive) game innovation,” says University of California-Santa Cruz professor Michael Mateas.”

Of course, sometimes seeing all these games makes me think about how focused on warfare our culture is. Could the US industry produce a game like Katamari Damacy?
