from “real” players to “ai” players

when we are immersed in the world of the game, we can't help but have a question: are we just being played by ai? especially when the teammate may not be a real player, but a virtual partner generated by ai, the feeling of powerlessness is like being hit by a fist on cotton. games are no longer simply competition, but are gradually moving towards deeper interactions and creations.

in recent years, ai technology has made significant breakthroughs in the gaming field. nvidia founder jensen huang once boldly predicted that in the future, every pixel will be generated rather than rendered. this prediction seems to point out a direction: the future of games may no longer be built by human power, but driven by ai.

the evolution of gameengine

the "ai game engine" gamengen launched by google deepmind can simulate the classic shooting game "doom" in real time at a speed of more than 20 frames per second on a single tpu chip. the core principle of gamengen is to use the diffusion model to predict every frame in real time, which means that every moment in the game is generated in real time based on the player's operations and the complex interaction of the environment.

tencent has also launched an ai model specifically for aaa open world games - gamegen-o. it can simulate characters, dynamic environments, and complex actions in various aaa games, such as "the witcher 3", "cyberpunk 2077", "assassin's creed" and "black myth: wukong", and the quality of the generated game scenes is also quite high. .

ai changes the future of game development

andrew wilson, ceo of american game developer electronic arts (ea), said that generative ai can improve more than half of the company's development processes in the future, and is expected to design and create larger, more immersive game worlds within three to five years. this technology can not only improve the development efficiency of existing games, but also create new gaming experiences.

the birth of "sin city"

although game development still requires human creativity and design, the addition of ai brings new possibilities. we are no longer limited to traditional production processes, but have the opportunity to create a richer game world in a limited time. this may mean that in the future, game development may be more like a "creative puzzle". through continuous trial and exploration, real game miracles will eventually be achieved.
