The patent dubbed “METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR APPLYING MACHINE LEARNING TO GENERATE GAMEPLAY AUDIO” will utilize AI tech to make NPCs have natural human audio reactions during gameplay movements. No longer will NPCs threaten to call the police just because you walked a little too close to them—like you see in GTA 5. As per Aactivision, the responses will be appropriate and justified to add realism.
The reactions may be in the form of voice reactions (audio) or gestures and movements (animations and video) presented by the human players. The captured reactions and the correlated gameplay event/trigger are used to train a neural network to generate reactions for Non-Player Characters (NPCs) during similar gameplay events or triggers,” reads the patent.
