I personally have laughed and cried in frustration in equal measure in each of these games where my immersion has been well and truly shattered by ropey AI. These are seriously impressive open world games, but nobody can say that the AI in them is great and, frequently, it is the biggest thing for breaking immersion. Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs Legion – the list goes on. Think of any recent open world game and you'll see what I mean. This really is a continuing, bordering on critically blind spot issue in games, too. We're still very firmly surrounded by dumb, unreal, flawed virtual actors in video games right now, the sorts of NPCs that will watch you murder their friend brutally in cold blood, cower for a second, and then a second later get back up and continue slowly walking down the street eating their hot dog as if nothing ever happened. Rockstar Games has been at the forefront of the open-world sandbox video game genre for decades now, with each new release from the studio setting a new high bar that other developers then have to play catch up to.īut the thing is that, despite all the advancements that have come in open world games, the weakest thing where no order of magnitude shift has occurred for ages is in terms of in-game AI, and specifically in relation to NPCs. I mean, why would Rockstar officially say it is working on new AI tech for future games and then not include any of that tech in the next GTA? Exactly.Īnd, at least in my mind, this development is really, really exciting. As such, I think it completely fair to say that if Rockstar Games is working on smart new AI technology for the future, then GTA 6 is going to benefit from that technology. However, it is now widely accepted and reported, on a daily basis, that GTA 6 will be Rockstar Games' next title and that, yes, it will arrive in the future (most likely 2024 according to the early leaked information that we have access to).
Now, to be very clear, GTA 6 was not mentioned at all in the presentation.
