If you ask me what invention has had the biggest impact on gaming in the tech world in recent years, I'll tell you without hesitation that it's AI.
You may wonder, isn't it graphic display technology?But I would like to say that in the past two decades, games have not changed in mode due to graphical upgrades, but the advent of AI has completely changed the way people play games.
Until the "back-of-the-head intubation" technology is realized, it's probably the closest thing to a sci-fi game.
At present, the first AI game in the industry is NetEase's "Against the Cold" mobile game, which has attracted more than 50 million users in less than two months of public beta with its large-scale application of AI and intelligent NPC system, becoming the most popular national game this year.
Imagine that when you create a character, you can generate a corresponding face with just a text description of the character;When you see beautiful scenery in the game world, you can immediately use AI to generate your own poems and songsWhen you are in a daze on the side of the road, passing NPCs take the initiative to greet you and can give reasonable feedback on what you say in natural language, and communicate smoothly ......
Do you feel as if you have "traveled" to a real world, and then for a moment you secretly sigh: how do you feel that NPCs are also living people?
This kind of routine that makes the game feel mechanical and fixed in the traditional way can really surprise people and enjoy it.
The application of the mobile game "Against the Cold" to smart NPCs is not just as simple as a "chat tool", it is also the biggest helper for tens of millions of players to get rid of social barriers and enjoy the game.
In the mobile game "Against the Cold", players can abandon the traditional team and group mode and choose a single dungeon when they place a dungeon. At this time, a group of strong NPC teammates with fixed IDs, professions, and personalities will automatically join the team to help players challenge the boss.
This group of intelligent NPC teammates is so powerful, they are well versed in the mechanics and playing styles of all dungeons, they can hardly make mistakes in dungeon confrontations, and they are always on call, never talk nonsense, and will not cause anxiety to players at all.
For example, the latest 12-person team in the game "Mirror Sky Pavilion", ordinary players may also need to team up to "go to jail", but smart NPCs can help players lie down and clear the customs throughout the whole process, although the equipment dropped in single-player mode is slightly flawed, but it can fully meet the needs of the public.
Because smart NPCs are too powerful. So much so that many players began to worship smart NPCs, and named the popular character "Baa Baa Palm" as the first nurse of the Great Song Dynasty, and even became a "Baa Gate", and forced out a virtual idol.
Interestingly, the recent mobile game "Against the Cold" has strengthened the gameplay mode of smart NPCs, so that smart NPCs have their own troubles and life choices, which need to be guided and helped by players.
In the process, the image of the bating palm has also become more "real" - and even made 50 million players break the defense.
Because her companion "Ouyang Baixue" got too close to the male Su Wen "Tuo", which affected the team's performance, she actually wanted the players to destroy the relationship between the two and let them return to the state of "strong party".
After discovering the "human weakness" of the bones, the players became more excited, and even began to make their own decisions to match her with CPs.
Playing an MMO turned out to be the most variety reality show fun, what could be more sci-fi than this?
Therefore, I highly recommend you to give the mobile game "Against the Cold" a try, because the power of intelligent AAI will never be available to those who have not experienced it.
