that was what I kind of felt with Anthem too. The other issue is that they couldn't balance the load on servers for the demo but can't really hold that against them as release day is different. Metro Exodus is the next thing to look forward to now.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/02/microsofts-xbox-live-is-coming-to-switch-ios-android/ Seems like Nintendo decided that their online platform might not be up to snuff so they went out and partnered with a company that has one of the best ones out there. The next few months will be interesting to see how deep the integration really goes and what kind of partnership this turns into.

Immense. The boy was on form, built a superb partnership with VVD and is the best pairing we have with the Dutchman. Part of the reason we have such a good defense is his ability to play as the faster of the two CBs in the cover. It is bad news but when you think about the fact that we've been without our core defensive system for a bit now this is what has to be dealt with.

im almost scared to ask how far you got haha.

Put the machine off and go outside.

https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/24/starcraft-ii-playing-ai-alphastar-takes-out-pros-undefeated/ This little trend of AIs playing and beating pro players is all well and good but I think they should just open a tournament where AIs battle AIs and stop mixing them with humans. Its clear that they'll always have the upper hand after a few days anyways since they learn so quickly. Having said all that its still funny how the AI only picked one race and has mastered it quite thoroughly.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/01/apple-is-rumored-to-be-working-on-a-games-subscription-service/ Interesting that they've decided to get into this pretty late considering that Steam is already on there and I am sure Valve has plans to port a lot of stuff over. Still, if they use the platform (OSX vs iOS) agnostic approach this might work to their benefit for all the mobile gamers out there who want a subscription service and don't have to pay for single games and instead get a subscription model.

I am curious. What side are you aligned to? Light or Dark?

I agree. One thing I like the most compared to its predecessor is how doors can just be pushed open versus having to wait for a loader and the aspect of zombies busting them open to get to you as well. You really can't run through too many doors and think you've escaped which makes it even more of a survival horror game. @Bluebird Hewitt how are you liking it so far?

Quite like the RE2-remake. For some reason it seems eerier, the zombies are harder to kill and the element of trying to board things up so you don't waste precious ammunition is a good add as well. If you've played 4 and 7 I'd highly recommend this one because its nice and pacey. And then there's the random Tyrant run-ins that add to the horror aspect as well.

Good read that. Thanks for sharing it.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/01/netflix-is-linked-to-a-resident-evil-live-action-tv-series/ So, apparently Netflix is interested in making Resident Evil into a series and this on the eve of the release today of the Remake.

Disney buying the Star Wars rights was probably the worst thing in terms of games for the industry since they then went with EA as the dev house and EA has a recent, and correct, history of screwing gamers over with their monetization-before-playability approach to game development. I'd have loved a KOTOR3 but that's never going to happen now unless BioWare and EA decide to do a joint venture which I don't think is ever going to happen.

KOTOR2 is also a really good game and if I am not wrong the light-sabre system was vastly improved too. I think I played through it thrice before I had to stop haha. The skill-tree and the options for adding powers is quite good for fights and encounters as well in the sequel.

This is the definitive original Xbox game even over Halo. The story arc and the ability to split into whatever you want to be (Jedi/Sith) is superb. I played this years ago and I still think its one of the best Star Wars games I have ever played.

All the bad things aside you're right, we are trying to create something similar to a consciousness that can make decisions like a human being and for all the easy computational system logic you can give an AI the hardest thing to make it do is make human-like decisions. At the end of day it will learn and never repeat its mistakes again but then it loses some of its human nature which is why I feel like this is all just for betterment of co-existing systems rather than being a mimic of tribal nature systems. If the system did decide, however, to start eradicating other systems because it felt that they were threats to progression or because they just weren't necessary anymore that would certainly align with human thinking and how progression can sometimes mean discarding what isn't working anymore.

Just a little death and genocide, you know business as usual.

"They then ran two experiments to test the algorithm’s performance. In the first one, it had to infer the alliances of players in a video game by watching several sequences of game play. In the second, it had to predict the players’ actions in the same video game to see whether it truly understood each player’s motivations. It wasn’t trained for either task." I suppose the next step is to get the AI to then make tactical decisions on what to do based on the social interaction with the elements it was observing. I find this particularly interesting because just the other day I was making fun of HAL and how it lost its marbles and killed everyone aboard the ship. In the same joking vein, can you imagine an AI throwing a tantrum and suddenly deciding that the social aspect it was most interested in was building relationships with other systems to eliminate the one it thought was a risk. Fun times.

You just don't ask gaming related questions on places like that. What's even funnier is that 'supposedly' he got help too.

Whittling injury list and at the right time as well, congested fixture list in the middle of February and onwards so having more players back is always good even if they aren't 100% match fit.

I figured they'd make people grind for things like this to make them elusive but then again its more profitable to have people pay for it I guess. Strange but I have never paid for anything like this ever and I'd garner they are making loads of it to warrant that price which is so obscure.
