Sony’s recent patent for an AI-driven technology called the “Ghost Player” could revolutionize how gamers interact with their favorite titles. This innovative system allows players to summon an AI-generated version of their character to either demonstrate solutions to challenging puzzles or complete sections of the game entirely, providing a unique blend of assistance and autonomy. Imagine being stuck on a particularly tricky puzzle in an Uncharted game. Instead of endlessly searching for hints or resorting to a walkthrough, you could call upon an AI-controlled Nathan Drake to show you the way.

In an exciting revelation, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has expressed his interest in integrating AI chatbots into future games, potentially transforming the gaming landscape. During his recent appearance at the G-Star game developer convention, Horii highlighted the potential of AI, particularly mentioning ChatGPT, for enhancing player experience through interactive dialogue. Horii envisions a scenario where players could engage in quiz or mystery games, aided by an AI partner that provides insights and helps solve challenges.
