Stellaboz Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Anyone played and recommend Hades? I'm not one normally for Dungeon crawlers but having listened to a podcast on it, I'm intrigued. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Anyone played and recommend Hades? I'm not one normally for Dungeon crawlers but having listened to a podcast on it, I'm intrigued. Waypoint were unanimous in it being their game of the year and I think it’s pretty much universally beloved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Atari bringing us NFT loot boxes, surprised it took this long tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure that Atari's owners had died a few times since then. If the Atari name was a pair of necropants, there'd be very little left by now but the smell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Incidentally, if anyone else is as nonplussed as me about why NFTs - just, in general, why - one of my favourite YouTube channels just released a mammoth video about them that was something of an eyeopener, and explained why I found the whole thing so nonsensical. TL;DR - it's a cryptocurrency scam to bring in new money and allow the long-term investors to finally cash out some of their nominal "fortunes". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Haven't watched any of Jim's videos in the past week, but I reckon the phrase Late Stage Capitalism will be getting a well-earned outing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Got to say, this looks like it'll have all the bits of GT2/3 that made it so incredibly fun. Definitely picking this up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Polyphony Digital and Sony have been doing some AI stuff: and here's the current Nations Cup champion going 1v1 and not being able to beat it: No idea when/if this technology will make its way into a game but I can't wait to punt it into the wall when it does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 That looks a shambles, they'll obviously be different levels of AI, but having an unbeatable level seems fucking ridiculous, and im guessing even if you tried to copy the ghosts raceline etc, you wouldn't be able to make the constant slight adjustments needed unlike said AI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone using a wheel is steering to the left then to the right the direction doesn't change instantly, there's the time it takes for the wheel to rotate that far. Sophy doesn't have that, which I think is partly how it's able to go into corners so aggressively. It's also worth pointing out that the races here are all effectively in time trial conditions, with no tyre wear or fuel use which can be affected by the driver and can affect how fast a car can be. An AI could know how fast a car can be on different tyres or differently worn tyres and calculate a strategy accordingly, but I've played and watched enough GT Sport to know in those situations if a car has worn tyres and is going into a corner with two wheels on the grass during entry, it's ending up in a wall. It would be much harder to develop an AI agent in those situations and much easier to race against because humans can and do measure their strategy and car performance with that in mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It's interesting stuff, but wonder how long it'll take some wee nerd to make the AI cry uncle by doing something completely unexpected. I can't get enough of the genre of videos where you have someone's life's work in the field of AI being boiled down to this incredibly complex robot. The product of millions of pounds of research, of sheer blood, sweat, tears and genius. And then it fails to pick up a box and falls down some stairs. That'll never not be fucking hilarious to me in a sort of Curb Your Enthusiasm-theme schadenfreude kind of way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
