Ubisoft Reveals AI-Driven Research Project, Teammates

by

Artificial intelligence has been part of video games for a while, but its applications are rapidly changing. Previously, AI was mostly used for creating non-player characters (NPCs) that followed pre-programmed instructions. Now, AI can potentially handle tasks like art creation, voiceovers, and even generate entire games. However, this increasing reliance on AI could lead to a loss of the human element, which is crucial for quality. Game developer Ubisoft is now exploring this potential with a new research project called Teammates.

But if you prefer to go in guns blazing and take a military approach, it’ll take longer because you need to spend time building up your army to deal with the enemies.

by

I was surprised when the new game dropped numbered titles. Then, the early previews focused heavily on multiplayer, which reminded me of past issues with the franchise. Now, recent leaks suggest the core gameplay is shifting away from the life-simulation style that’s defined The Sims for almost twenty-five years. While each change on its own might not be a big deal, together they could drastically alter what The Sims is all about. As a longtime fan, I’m worried, and I know many other players feel the same way.
