Crytek: Crysis 2 Will Have Best Game AI Ever

So long as there's no omniscient helicopters...

I'm excited!...But at the same time a little afraid D:

We're just a mile away from AI's that will take over the world... ^^

Can't wait.

... so Crysis is the cause of skynet?

Does it also apply to friendly AIs?

Sounds good. I presume AI 'make' dynamic decisions, constantly reassessing their situation with elements of randomness. One of my favourite AIs is still the original FEAR. You think you have the upper hand sneaking around them, but sometimes they take a different route and even change their strategies when you reload from a save. Not something you can sit back and plough your way through.

What are the requirements going to be for this game?

It's about time someone made aliens think like aliens are supposed to.

A ps3 should do it.

"We'll believe it when we see it."

I agree on that statement.

I remember FarCry2's promisses about the AI and gameplay acheivements... felt pretty unfinished to me with the lack of story lack of proper ending and none stop identical gameplay that gets boring real fast.

Then again, this isn't FarCry2, I hope they do a good job.

(What's with all the "FAIR" War isn't supposed to be Fair )

I hoe they dont over-hype this game and than deliver stupid FPS.

We have all been here before. As soon as a developer starts making statements about how advanced and outstanding their new game is, we can all pretty much assume that everything will be a massive let down. I am predicting disappointing graphics for the PC, free spawning and predictable enemies and an overall feeling of 'Meh'.

i think it means that they wont handicap the player by decreasing their HP when you increase the difficult

to make the AI seem more real, it should fight dirty, not fair. I know I'm going to fight dirty...

But can the AI play Cry.........nevermind.

(What's with all the "FAIR" War isn't supposed to be Fair )[/citation]

Unfair is when you snipe a guard from 600 yards and the guy standing next to him fires his pistol from the hip drilling you right between the eyes with his first shot

well, will the enemies still be able to see and shoot you from a mile+ away (thinking about the boats with guns from the first one)

Be nice to see an MMORPG with AI mobs that make things tougher, all MMORPG's are far too easy to reach end-game and that takes the fun out of it.

well if time travel exists in the future we will know soon enough cuz someone will be coming back to destroy crysis 2 to stop future war...maybe they can give us cheap tech that can run crysis as well...

Well, the AI in Crysis was good, so I have high expectations from this one. But I hope that they introduce a 5th difficulty level which is one notch up the Delta level of the first game.

smart AI's means quicker to die and harder to kill, so I may cheat sooner than later depending on my level of frustration.

Fair as in the ai doesnt know where you are if it doesnt have a visual contact with the enemy. I think it was in the first half life where even if you teleported yoirself away from the enemy, the ai wouldnstill know where the hell you are.

Agreed, FEAR had good AI.

I also agree on the definition of fair. If the enemy can't see you, they shouldn't know where you are (unless its based on noise). If they did see you, then lost sight of you, they shouldn't be able to follow you behind a wall, down a hallway, and through another corridor to where you pop-out next.

And agreed on the omniscient helicopters. Nothing kills a game better than the mandatory "shoot down the fast-moving, infinite-ammo carrying helicopter" level. But damn if it ain't a pre-requisite for almost every FPS game out there. I think I got at least 10 games installed on my computer with an omniscient helicopter level.

That's not saying much. There is no component further behind than AI. Graphics have always been at the forefront. Physics has been the recent obsession of game makers. AI and sound are fighting for last place.

Granted every FPS game needs better enemy AI, I believe they should spend just as much effort in improving the physics of weapons. When the first Crysis came out, not only did they tout how good it looked, but also how great objects in the game obeyed the laws of physics.

They should be able to allow a toggle in the settings to apply the same physics to weapons. An arch/range/lethal velocity to my rounds would be greatly appreciated. Adding in environment variables would be great too.

I think adding weapon physics to the improved AI would do wonders for this game. It just seems a moot point if the AI was made smarter, but my pistol could still shoot in a straight line with a range as far as my GPU could draw an image on my monitor. Lets put those extra CPU cores to good use!

it will look stupod because it has to be dumbed down for consoles!

Why is it that everyone is making games about WAR all the time!! its all about shooting, killing, blood spilling, knifing etc.! how about a game about LOVE for once!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!! I is angwy!!!

Hmm...I hope its as "good" as their first game's AI, with guys walking past me to jump on a machine gun turret when I'm already behind the bunker. It was real good stuff.

/sarcasm

So you want to see a Crysis/ Fable type of game?

One thing that always bugged me about crysis was the enemies accuracy and their hit points. Hitting a guy without any body armor on with the same gun they have at point blank range should do MORE damage to him than it does to me when he shoots me. I could see if I was fighting a bunch of guys with nanosuits on but these are the plucky regulars Im talking about.. some dude in a boonie hat and tshirt should die if I put 2 in his chest not stagger back and shrug it off and shoot me with the same rifle and in 2 or 3 hits Im out of armor. Then there's the accuracy that they have ... A shotgun should not strip my armor from 50 yards away... an ak round shouldnt be able to even hit me from 500yds away.
