Molyneux: ‘We’re About to Revolutionize AI’

“If you think back to the one thing about Black & White that was most fascinating, you’d have to say it was that creature that learned behavior and seemed, for a certain glimpse, to be alive. Imagine if you could take that and multiply it by a billion…”

I'll believe it when I see it. My guess is that the game will be simple on a visual level, because advanced AI has a difficult time remaining convincing when moving in unnatural ways or when represented with unconvincing visuals. I expect something cute, but smart.

Can't wait to see what it will turn out to be:)

We need an AI, animations, and physics (as in, physical properties of materials) revolution, all combined. The game industry still has a lot to do; we're far from a technical bottleneck.

[KLoNe]

Fuck yeh! Project Ego 2!..... *cough*

[Log4Girlz]

Peter never disappoints or under-delivers. I have 100% trust in him.

[Crusade]

*sigh* I don't think he'll ever learn

[Piper Az]

I am interested in Fable 2...Mr Molyneux...

When is it coming out?

[Ferrio]

Bwahahaha...

[h3ro]

deja vu all over again... sorry Peter, we've heard this before... I'm going to wait to see for myself whether you pulled it off this time (I picked up Fable Day 1 for the original Xbox)

[dfyb]

I'll believe it when I see it.

seriously.

it's flat out annoying when people get all hyped up for his games, based on these dreams he campaigns.

[sprsk]

It's about time Molyneux started making wild claims!

[BrodiemanTTR]

Molyneux: "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. I CAN'T STOP."

[pj325is]

Doesn't look like he actually says that in the article..

But I'm sure we'll see it as a quote in 2 years when the game comes out and isn't all that

[Pistolero]

Pardon me, sir, would you mind keeping your lips busy on that wonderful cup of tea you've been given ?

[Log4Girlz]

You can watch a seed grow into a full grown tree, a tree with totally accurate A.I.

[Kosma]

I wonder if Peter realizes that no one listens to this stuff anymore.

You can watch a seed grow into a full grown tree, a tree with totally accurate A.I.

So the tree would react exactly like a tree when I would lets say kick it?

[Quazar]

Ok so

Fable 2
Dimitri
???

Is Dimitri and what he's talking about now the same game?

[speculawyer]

Wolf! Wolf! I swear it is true this time!!!

[Dali]

We need an AI, animations, and physics (as in, physical properties of materials) revolution, all combined.

The Force Unleashed (the PS360 versions) is a step in the right direction.

[leroy hacker]

I'll believe it when I see it.

The only reasonable response to Molyneux.

[Sho_Nuff82]

Times a billion?

He was so close to unveiling the game with minimal expectations too.

[dark steve]

The really terrible question is, what exactly are a billion Molyneux-bred AIs going to be doing?

Because it probably isn't going to be very pleasant.

[armubaba]

I guess we'll see during the "Three Big Features Revealed" tomorrow, right?

[Log4Girlz]

I wonder if Peter realizes that no one listens to this stuff anymore. So the tree would react exactly like a tree when I would lets say kick it?

You would see the full scope of emotions possible from a tree...times a billion.

[Ferrio]

The really terrible question is, what exactly are a billion Molyneux-bred AIs going to be doing?

If based on my experiences with Black & White.... dancing... lots and lots of dancing.

[legend166]

Actually, the most fascinating thing about Black and White was it's ability to be really fun an interesting the first 5 hours, and then manage to be the biggest piece of crap ever after that.

[Kosma]

You would see the full scope of emotions possible from a tree...times a billion.

Are computers powerful enough to portray that? I doubt it. Maybe next gen.

[C4Lukins]

Oh Peter. A billion times?

[Agent Icebeezy]

Looks like Lionhead is getting help in AI from Microsoft Cambridge like Turn 10 does for Forza

[Log4Girlz]

Are computers powerful enough to portray that? I doubt it. Maybe next gen.

But there has been a break-through of revolutionary proportions. Peter said so.

[DrBaalzamon]

Hes talking about Dog A.I. Think of the possibilities ! THINK OF THEM!!

[Ventrue]

Maybe Peter is a robot?

[AltogetherAndrews]

I loved Fable, but Molyneux really should just shut the hell up and hold the big talk until after he has delivered something worth the big talk. It was difficult to have any sort of decent conversation about the awesome aspects of Fable without the discussions being hijacked by twits crying about the many false promises.

[Draft]

The dog in Fable 2 will be a billion times smarter than any video game dog that came before it.

[Teknopathetic]

Just...stop talking.

[BboyDubC]

It... begins.

[Log4Girlz]

Hes talking about Dog A.I. Think of the possibilities ! THINK OF THEM!!

A dog with Tree-like emotion.

[Kintaro]

It's about time Molyneux started making wild claims!

*checks calendar*

Sounds about right!

[bcn-ron]

I wonder if Peter realizes that no one listens to this stuff anymore.

I don't think he targets GAFfers, or anyone who played one of his games. Marketing, in general, doesn't stop at experts of the field. I'm sure the mainstream and hurry-hurry types of press will happily broadcast his message.

DISCLAIMER: I've played Fable: The Lost Chapters and it didn't suck at all.

[Windu]

here we go again..

[Madman]

It's about time Molyneux started making wild claims!

I just don't think he has it in him. He can't help but make absolutely level-headed claims.

[Metaphoreus]

This seems as good a thread as any to ask this question in; what exactly was Molyneux promising for the original Fable that got so many people hyped for the game (only to disappoint by not actually doing any of it)? I've heard about all this before, but I wasn't paying attention to stuff like that at the time.

[Zoramon089]

He needs to stop hyping before he's shown anything revolutionary...this is looking like a replay of what happened before...but hey, at least it's not as bad as Romero making everyone his bitch with Daikatana

[Uncle]

Do you remember when Molyneux apologized for the Fable hype? He doesn't.

See it's not just Fable. He has been like this for a while now. Our Peter. Peter Pan we call him.

Screw Fable, what about that crap he tried to pull with Black & White. You people should of known better when it came to Fable.

[Psychotext]

Poor guy... he's obviously passionate but he needs a PR handler.

[GenericPseudonym]

Fable was good, Fable 2 will be a sandbox game so everything's fine. Peter can say whatever he wants as long as the game is long and the world is big, then I'm fine (as long as its more like Oblivion than Two Worlds).

[DGaio]

Black & White 3 please!

[just tray]

Remember the book the little engine that could? Peters version has the exclusive downloadable alternate ending where he falls down the hill after making it 3 feet.Only 8 more miles to go Peter. 8 more miles

[Mejilan]

Why is this guy still allowed to fucking talk?

[speculawyer]

Maybe Peter is a robot?

That's it! The new AI is a PR quote generator. Obviously it still needs work.
