The closest thing to this is probably the implementation of the Euthoria engine in GTA IV. Ragdolls weren't really learning anything, but had properities that would make them react in different ways, depending on the situation. Interesting stuff

That may look a bit like what I've shown though

It may be using it! Well there a few similarities about those, when you look at how they can be affected by the environment and keep still, that's the real advantage of machine learning based animation, they are flexible and unique each time, less memory space for a diversity of animations.

I think you answered my question, it is used apparently

It doesn't matter if the creature flops around like an idiot or walks upright as long as it finds the most efficient way to traverse the landscape. The animation is just a bi-product that comes with the solution to getting from one position to another.

Again, I don't believe it's actually used for animation, but would be really cool if it did!

I don't think game studios are really scientific enough for it to be used. I mean, I know Ubisoft has a machine learning division, but no-one like them so no one else is doing it as well

Anyways, I saw this video a while back and I loved it! It would be interesting to see a game that makes evolution a gameplay element and puts you in a creator role Spore won't stand a chance!

How would you have called it? It's animation made automatically

I wondered if it was that's why I posted that, but apparently people in game studios don't want to tell if they use that...

A non-scripted evolution? That would be cool yeah, however that would mean using GPU's for that, so you'd have to have a lot of things precomputed anyway, so you don't overuse the GPU for that

The idea is that the exploration part requires computing power, but once it's done, the exploiting part isn't that costly, and can be run with a decent hardware

Why on the cloud?

@Zarsky I think the two are very different , since IK rig is based on classic skeletal animation, while what I've shown has been "learned" by the machine. They've run an algorithm and at approximately 1000 tests, the skeleton could move itself like it should, without any human telling him how to do it.

I saw that video :

is this an xbox one only game?

In the workshop spotlight, there literally is a map from someone trolling, with 5 stars rating... What's wrong with that game and community?

This is Stanley! He is named after the protagonist of The Stanley Parable, which both me and my girlfriend enjoy immensely. He's been living with us for a week now, peeing on the floor and chewing on my computer gear/cables. He's very lovable though

He's cute!

Makes me remember of my old dog when we got him

I can run this game almost at whatever setting I want without GPU taking a hit, but I just can't make it look as crystal clear and big as in those lower resolutions. I haven't experimented a lot with super sampling etc. but small tests didn't make it as good at least.

I'll have to believe you on that, because I can't test that without frying my card

About cache, it will be included after a few feedback since it's basically the same map bit with better graphics and reworked visibility

Yeah of course but you can stretch any resolution, you don't have to have a resolution half the size of your screen. Like ~1200×1024 for a full hd monitor, stretched instead of 800×600 stretched

You can feel the difference but you can still play okay on 60Hz monitor

But some people play on low resolution because pros play with those... but pros play with those only because they are used to it. That's a really dumb thing to mimic in my opinion but hey, fanboy love doing it.

I came across a forum with the same software apparently. They have a much larger community, but they have a really different system than here to reward people when saying constructive stuffs.

Visually it looks really alike, at least on the mobile version.

I'll look at it later but I think you give them the number, they send a text to that number with a specific code they ask you then. You enter that code, and you should be good to go. Since that's how it works with every other phone number identification I've seen... ( if you can't text you should change of phone ^^)

On the long run that could however be a problem. You could have a new phone number already paired with another account and therefore couldn't pair your number with yours...

They will know the real identity of people with that at least, and could even prevent them to have two accounts if they have two phone numbers

If you want your exploration to be completely undisturbed you can turn Runner’s Vision off, and if you want some guidance to keep momentum, Classic and Full View are good choices.

Regarding the red help system

Since you are well informed, do you know if there will be some kind of demo or benchmark available before buying the game? Maybe a 30min or 1h our trial on origin or something?

It seems the game could suffer from bad sales if people are afraid they can't run the game properly, since it has already high minimum specs.

Well that's official I won't play this game for a while after its release!

@blackdog

For the attacks, I think you can do all you describe, they are maybe uncool people playing

The jumps when you could slide underneath could be an habit from Mirror's edge 1. Speed runners had that rule to always prefer jumping to sliding whenever possible because it was faster, it's probably someone replicating that habit

Well don't worry it's okay

On topic, does anyone know how demanding of a game it is?

There was one: Mirror's edge II thread
