Artifical Intelligence King!

So since graphics king threads have been done a million times over,

I'd like to try something different and ask for AI king!

Imma say Gears, some will laugh at me but the enemies take cover well, blindfire, flank, throw grenades, one suppresses you while another rushes you with shotgun, etc. They will also heal each other and run over to finish you off if you downed.

It's not "flashy" but it's just really solid, brutal and believeable. They never do stupid stuff or get stuck on walls, etc.

What game do you think has the best AI?

Halo 3

Killzone 2/3 and F.E.A.R.

Gears is pretty good, too.

Halo series always had better AI then most every other FPS.

The kings are

Fear 1

&

Killzone 2/3

FEAR 1 by a long shot.... jedikevin2

*laughs* Killzone 2 and 3 good AI? Killzone 2 alone enemies will just stare at you as you knife them. Its how I got through killzone2 on easy in about 5 hours using nothing but the knife when I had the choice and 5 hours on normal using the knife whenever I had a choice. I've yet to play killzone 3 but Guerilla hasn't ever been capable of making good AI.

...Why the hell did you play on easy? :?

The AI's behaviour changes with the different difficulty. On Elite, they'll work in teams to try and flank you, draw you from cover by throwing grenades and then ambush you, they'll play dead, shift/shimmy from cover to cover when they are taking heavy fire, and rush you when they hear that you are reloading.

I had a lot of fun with the AI in Halo reach, even if it was very predictable. The Ai in Killzone 3 was also very good.

They react to you, work as a team, when out of ammo will attempt to sneak around and attack with hands(also they can run out of ammo), work with cover fire while attemping to flank, the scripting groups of enemies always work together (close end, ranged enemies), and the voice acting relates to their movements. Go play the game on the hardest difficulty and see.

lol. Killzone Easy AI,

GG designed the diffulculty curve to increase AI inteligence along with the standard health and damage buffs.

Elite AI is in another universe to "easy" AI

Definitely not Gears of War,because they're horrible,especially in multiplayer.Probably Halo for me.

[QUOTE="locopatho"] What's so great about FEAR ai may I ask you? I played it about an hour on PC and a few hours on 360 and didn't notice much special?locopatho

There's your problem right there.

Did everybody forget about RAGE or something? That game by far seems to have some of the best AI (if not THE best AI) I've ever seen in games.

Kilzone 2/3, Uncharted series and Resistance series.

My vote would be for Civilization IV or perhaps Star Craft II above all the fps AI's.

I can say without a doubt - Gothic series the absolute king of NPC AI.

For FPSs, Unreal Tournament '99, the bots are incredible.

Killzone 2. The AI is just Fierce.

XVision84

True. But it's not out yet :P

Well it's honestly hard for me to think of any outside of FPSes. Thief had pretty good AI back in the day, as did Half Life. More modern examples have all pretty much been said: Halo 3, FEAR 1, Killzone 2/3.

Kilzone 2/3, Uncharted series and Resistance series.

Joel_Pichardo

When I think of Uncharted, I don't really think of it as an AI king. The only props I have for it is that the enemies aren't all knowing like most games. If your hiding behind cover and move spots, they will still go after you in the spot they last saw you, provided you moved without being seen. If you hide long enough, they will realize you are not there, and you can start stealth killing them. Other than that, the AI does have some problems, and doesn't do much beyond other games. Let alone Killzone or Resistance (mainly R1 though).

Killzone 2's AI kicked my butt 3 ways from sunday

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. The AI is given much more room to move around that it is in most games *coughF.E.A.R.cough* but still manages to perform the same sort of tasks that impress people so much in those games. They use cover effectively, they work together, having one person or a group distract your attention with fire while others attempt to flank, and they do all this regardless of whether they're in corridor-like sewers or a more open construction zone or a forest area.

Gears is pretty good, too.

So since graphics king threads have been done a million times over,locopatho

• S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl
• FEAR
• Crysis

Pick one. :P

Far Cry 2 had decent AI if I remember correctly.

• S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl
• FEAR
• Crysis

Pick one. :P

I don't even know how to quantify the quality of the AI--the only time I can recognize the quality of the AI is when it sucks ass. Otherwise, I don't expect much from AI to even put any title on a pedestal. Stevo_the_gamer
