Uncharted 2 enemy ai improvments!!!!!

[liambonner]

Looks like Nathan's enemies will be enjoying an expanded skillset in Uncharted 2. CVG has been nattering with Bruce Straley, one of the game's directors, who has revealed that the baddies in Uncharted 2 will feature improved intelligence. Specifically, they will now "hunt" and "investigate" based on movement in their peripheral vision. "When Drake enters this peripheral vision the enemies will look over in the direction they think they saw him in and depending on how long he was in this vision cone, they may just look or they may walk over and check out what they think they saw."

"If they lose eye contact with Drake for a few seconds, one or more enemies will start hunting around the area, starting with his last known location, and then spread their search out if he's not found." This hunting behaviour means that the enemies will need to be able to follow Drake wherever he goes, which means jumping and climbing around the environment. "The benefit to this was our combat wasn't limited to flat terrain anymore."

Sounds great to us. One of our biggest gripes with Uncharted 1 was that at any given point you were either fighting or platforming. Hopefully we'll see more of a crossover in the sequel. Apparently more details will be forthcoming once CVG posts the full interview with Straley tomorrow

Sounds really interesting. This could take the game to a whole new level. Enemys being able to climb. Also with enemys being able to go anyware it looks like the game will become a sandbox game like I predicted

no more hiding then.

Sandbox, like GTA4 type sandbox? & you came to that conclusion how? The way i interpret the article is enemys will simply be able to follow drake (the player) anywhere within the environment i,e. if we climb the enemies can follow (sweet gunfight on cliff face) if we try to swim away the enemy/enemies will be able to swim & follows us, we swing over a river or summit enemies will be able to etc etc, i think thats all they mean, i highly doubt sandbox setup it wouldnt work for uncharted as its heavily story driven.

We will just have to wait and see

It wont be sandbox... that wouldnt fit the uncharted experiance atall! If it does turn out to be sandbox then i wont be getting it.

[iMarfy]

Seems awesome, sounds hard aswell. :P

[Dextermon]

Sounds awesome and I will definatly be buying this when it comes out as it sounds amazing.

[Deathvein]

Sandbox Uncharted seems unlikely.

But the new enemy AI sounds great!

[xxDUNE]

It wont be sandbox; it's too story driven. They have a free-climbing type thing but that's just to make it more realistic platforming I think. The enemies are able to do all the same moves as you though, so they can follow you, and it will make for some interesting battles.

I also like that the guards will go around and search for you..similar to MGS guards.

Cant wait though..game sounds amazing.

cod5 ai is to hard. hope u2 dont copy them

r u serious about cod5 ai. that was the worst ai i have seen on current gen. i tested it i stood in front of an enemy and it took him five seconds to start shooting. and veteren is just higher bullet damage.

but anyway uncharted 2 sounds awsome. i wonder what else they have in store for us.

Nah i dont have to wait to know im right :smug: LOL.

[Banacheck]

I read about this a while back, thay've improved Drake also so you can pick up & carry shields, he will be able to perform acrobatic moves & other improvements. the graphics are alot better than the first one & cut-scenes are NOT rendered. I cannot wait for this game.

I've always thought the graphics of Uncharted to be overrated. Everybody says that it was the best in the industry, even though with all the screen tearing and jagged edges, it was far from it in my eyes. Uncharted has been surpassed on so many levels already.

U2 looks good, but it's too far away to already get excited over it. Remember, Uncharted was a sleeper hit, and rightfully so. Hype kills.

Remember this is Naughty dog. There good at this sort of thing.
They have been so sucsessfull before with....
The crash bandicoot series
The Jak series
uncharted 1

There good at doing this sort of thing and I dout its going to stop now.

this will be interesting. it might fix one of my biggest gripes with the original game; the fact that it was very linear, and how you could only progress through any given area through only one method (which was normally to shoot the crap out of your enemies and try not to die). now, you seem to be able to play with at least a bit of stealth, and the enemy ai sounds surprisingly realistic; too many times have i wondered why i can hide in what i thought was an enemy's peripheral vision, only for them to walk on unaware.

[AlastairMush]

Well Uncharted DF was the best Ps3 Game I've played so far...
So I can't wait for this :D Seems rather epic.

[reno68]

Similar to MGS, huh? I wonder if you can distract them with porn too then...
