The gaming industry has enjoyed renewed limelight in recent years observed by Bahaa Al Zubaidi. Virtual gaming has taken off and blockchain gaming is also championing a new stage of video gaming. Game developers are now using state-of-the-art tech to power the most imaginative graphics and bring the most realistic games alive. Presently, there are more than three billion video game users around the globe.
The next stage of advancement in video games is that of generative A.I. The rise of generative A.I. has thrown opened the gates of creativity and is penning a new chapter in the annals of video game history. This means even more unique world-building tools, novel contents, independent characters and enhancement in the field of video gaming at an unprecedented rate.
Examples of generative A.I.
NPCs or Non Playable Characters have so far had a strange appearance and behavior. This is because they are used to delivering a set of pre-programmed responses, be it in actions, speech or movements. With the entry of generative A.I. in gaming however, this is set to change massively. A popular A.I.-enabled writer called Ghostwriter has been running tests on crafting lively real-time responses. With the help of generative A.I. tech, these characters will be able to learn from evolving scenarios to deliver appropriate dialogues that are not static.
New chapter of video gaming
Like the name says, generative A.I. will help game developers come up with evolutionary characters, worlds and tasks. Non-verbal communication will also be studied as an area of potential game improvement. This also extends to the gaming worlds that use non-chronological storytelling. Those games using infinitely evolving scenes and maps will benefit from generative A.I. Endless cities, expanding gamescapes, each with their own limitless backstories is close to becoming a reality.
What about the future?
There is some unrest from the video gaming community that generative A.I. could mean more traditional developers and animators being laid off. But gaming experts assure that the field of A.I. is only enhancing video gaming industry and creating more exciting opportunities for both the players and engineers.
There are also some challenges left to overcome such as generative A.I. being adept at creating interactive main characters but not being as effective in crafting villains and other types of characters. Using A.I. writing tools is also proving effective for positive speech but there is the possibility of characters making negative or harsh statements. They are working to improve these bugs so that generative A.I. can have its mainstream takeover very soon.
