Many players have problems with beating a difficult level in the game. It’s also frustrating at times when you can’t leave your desk while playing online. Sony engineers decided to find a way to overcome these difficulties.
Artificial Intelligence will learn the way the game is played by the player. Based on the collected data, it will recreate the style of the game in order to achieve results similar to those possible for a given player. In the initial stages, an analysis of a certain base of basic behaviours is foreseen, but over time it will be expanded, as well as the analytical capabilities of artificial intelligence. The result is a bot that plays indistinguishably from the player who trained his neural network. Sony has patented its invention.
It is believed that the artificial intelligence created by Sony may also prove useful in a situation where the player is a person with limited abilities. Fewer reflexes or vision problems may make it difficult to pass certain stages, which will no longer be an obstacle. The player will also be able to use artificial intelligence as an aid, while still independently participating in the game.
According to many people, it is an excellent solution that will help solve many problems of avid gamers. Others pose the question: will a man be needed at all in such a game?
